Amir is known for its marketing campaigns — one featured a garlic-scented candle as an April Fool's Day joke — but this one provoked a strong online response and almost 3,000 comments.

While there are many jokes, not all responses were positive: “Again, the objectification of the female body,” stated one top commenter. “Restaurant Amir, this ad is a disgrace and lacks a lot of intelligence.”
