    Clean well lit restaurant with attentive staff. Now that that’s out the way OMG the food was so amazing, from the beautiful warm soup, house salad and warm bread to start. We ordered the lamb chops and charcoal chicken. Everything was tasty and flavorful. Loved every bite.

    Our first time eating this cuisine, and the waiters were extremely helpful. The lamb broth they brought us as soon as we sat down was wonderful and the spices were delicious and unlike anything I had ever had without being spicy. Each dish we had we loved the fava bean appetizer “Foul” was delicious and there was endless fresh traditional bread! My stewed lamb dish was extremely tender juicy with basmati rice and delicious root vegetables and okra. We also had a roasted chicken dish which was great. The complimentary tea was excellent a fragrant and a unique blend of traditional spices. For dessert we had chopped bread with traditional Yemen style butter and honey which was delicious! We will definitely come back! Wonderful food! Relaxed atmosphere!
