  The food was okay, but the customer service was disappointing. The staff did not seem friendly or welcoming. It felt like they focused on serving certain customers while ignoring others. Everyone should receive the same level of attention and respect. Unfortunately, the poor service took away from the overall dining experience, and I would think twice before returning.

  Really loved this place for a chilled coffee / tea alternative to Qahwatea. It’s nice to have options!! Really really wish they add some lighting outside at night, maybe their music too and just show that the place is alive (as it is sooooo nice inside!!). ATM you can park outside and walk to the door and still not realise they’re open / cool vibes that are inside! Also, the bistro light up sign has got to be changed because it’s so confusing. I was thinking my gps took me to the wrong spot. Just offering this advice and I’m so thrilled to have another place like this in west county and wish them many years of good business! 🙏🏼 hope the cafe will be open soon as I go to qahwatea too often ahah

  Absolutely wonderful experience. The food was delicious, but the service and atmosphere alone will have us coming back. Khali (I think we got that right) was our server and he went above and beyond for us. This was our first experience with Yemeni food, and he was so welcoming to us as first-timers and was very informative and helpful teaching us the customs. The complimentary lamb broth was incredible, and we especially loved the bread and hummus. We ended our meal with chai and pistachio baklava and were able to take it to the floor lounge area to leisurely enjoy it. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back with friends!

  Your response misses the main point of my complaint. I am not claiming that your menu does not list the ingredients. My complaint is about what I was specifically told by your manager This incident occurred on August 16 at approximately 9 PM while we were seated in the cube-style Mandi seating area. These details should allow management to identify who was working and investigate the incident. We explicitly informed your manager that we do not eat beef due to our religious/dietary restrictions and specifically asked what meat was in the item. We were verbally assured that it was not beef and were told it was chicken/lamb. We relied on that assurance. When we returned on September 4, another staff member confirmed that the item was actually beef. There is no reason for us to fabricate this incident. Referring to the menu does not address the complaint. When a customer specifically discloses a dietary/religious restriction and asks a manager to verify an ingredient, the manager’s direct representation matters. Rather than shifting responsibility to the customer, I expect management to investigate why we were given incorrect information after explicitly stating that we do not consume beef. If the restaurant disputes what occurred, please review any available surveillance footage and determine which manager was working at approximately 9 PM on August 16. I stand by the facts of my complaint and expect this matter to be taken seriously.

  Extremely upsetting experience, especially because this involved our religious beliefs and dietary restrictions. We specifically asked what meat was in the samosas and clearly told the manager that we do not eat beef. He assured us there was no beef and told us the samosas were chicken/lamb. Because this information came directly from a manager, we trusted him and ate them. When we visited again, the manager who originally told us this was not there. Another person at the restaurant confirmed that the samosas were actually beef and that they did not have chicken or lamb samosas. This is extremely disturbing. This wasn’t simply a misunderstanding with an employee — a manager gave us incorrect information about the food after we specifically explained that we do not eat beef. Dietary and religious restrictions are not something to play with. If you don’t know what is in a dish, say you don’t know and verify it. Do not tell a customer something is chicken or lamb when it is actually beef. This was deeply disrespectful to our religious beliefs and completely broke our trust in this restaurant. Management needs to take responsibility and make sure this never happens to another customer.
