Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The food here is absolutely delicious! We ordered the Lamb Kabsa. It was amazing, perfectly seasoned, and the portion was more than enough for two people. Every dish was full of flavor and freshly prepared. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant has such a cozy, welcoming vibe. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat. Highly recommended!"
"We chose this place after seeing it go viral on TikTok. So, we decided to try the Kunafa and Hummus with Lamb. To our surprise, it was incredibly delicious..seriously, so good! We were truly satisfied. The portion was just nice for two people, and the dining environment was cozy and comfortable. Definitely planning to come back again!"
"Please don’t mind my poor skills of photo taking. Came here twice. First visit we ordered lamb kebab and Kabsah lamb. Lamb Kehab is a bit salty for us but Kabsah lamb is nice and meat is cooked very well. 2nd visit tried their Kunafa dessert after strongly recommended by the staff - sorry that I forgot to ask the guy’s name which by the way, he is very friendly to us. The desert is truly said tasty and smells really good. It has been a great dining experience here. Recommended to all."
"Few times here just for the maghoud rice because it is sooooo good. Portion is big and you can share 2-3 people. Price is also reasonable. Please do come and try this underrated restaurant, no regret I promise"
"Went to the restaurant as a group of two. We ordered the Mandy Chicken and added an extra small Mandy rice because we thought the portion wouldn’t be enough — turns out the Mandy rice itself was HUGE. And honestly… it was so good. We also tried the Chicken Kebab. The bread was amazing and the kebab itself was incredible. Really recommend this place if you’re craving Arabian food — they do it really well. Just one small suggestion: it would be really nice if you guys could play some music. I feel like we would enjoy the food even more with a bit of ambience. Overall: 9/10 (–1 point because there’s no music, hehehe)"
"Super friendly service! Great food, especially the lamb stew with tomatoe base. Pricing was reasonable too!"
"We've been to this restaurant 3 times so far, twice for takeaway and this time, we're eating in. The food has been fantastic every time. We've had many of the Yemeni Rice Dishes and the gravy items. The rice was delicately flavoured with pomegranate, perfectly roasted falling-off-the-bone lamb, light mutton soup, and eggplant moussaka with lamb. And the best Lamb Kebab sandwich - a small roll filled with veggies and meat. Easy to eat, not overfilled or spilling over. Everything was delicious and we highly recommend this place. We will enjoy coming to this place again."
"Super friendly service and delicious food. We tried several of the Yemeni rice dishes (Mandy, Zoavian and Madghoud lamb and chicken) paired with tasty salads and they were all spectacular. Don’t miss the rich Kunafa dessert."
