Excellent dinner , we showed up a la a big group and although completely overwhelmed the service…read morethey delivered brilliantly on the quality of food . Quickly diving into the pros and cons Pros : 1. The kabsah - omg rich , indulgent and fall frown the bone kind of meat . The real Saudi way . The real mvp and a must try lamb and chicken in that priority 2. The mandi - the drier cousin flavorful and fingerpicking good 3. The decor and ambiance : chic and classy and spacious 4. The cleanliness and presentation : spot on Can be improved 1. The service : I believe it's a family run business and I did not see hired staff as such or maybe they were and not giving out a vibe of being present except for the main guy who was clearly overwhelmed 2. Minor hiccup with card reader not working but can be ignored as a unfortunate incident 3. Samosa had an extra dose of salt but kasbah washes away all sins Recoommendation Kabsah and mandi , lamb and chicken in that order

Very expensive menu. Too much flavouring in rice…read moreService was a bit slow. Busy ambiance.

I passed by this place and I had to try it! Since I LOVE falafel so much :)…read more Its a small family owned business, they have small 3 tables if you want to sit but I ordered a takeout. I ordered the following: 12 Falafel pieces (6 pieces for $4.99) Hummus plate $7.99 Falafel sandwich with pita bread $7.99 The food was amazing! The falafel is perfectly done just the way I like them, the Hummus was spot on and my favorite was the falafel sandwich! The sandwich is loaded with flavors so my taste buds were dancing lol The price I found reasonable. The service was fast. Free parking space available but it's a bit tricky, it's behind the place not infront of it.

We stumbled upon this place a couple days ago and decided to try it…read more The lady who owned the place was very friendly and inviting. We went back today. The staff member who served us was also very friendly, helpful and nice. This adds to the overall experience. We ordered the Lamb Mandi. What we received was two perfectly cooked and spiced delicious lamb shanks. They were very large and came with a large container of delicious rice with spices and caramelized onions. On the side was a good sized fresh salad with a great dressing. The flavours were wonderful. It was lamb from a fine restaurant - but eaten at home. The cost for both of us was a staggeringly low $42 for what we received in both quality and quantity. I have never eaten Yemeni food before but I will go back to this wonderful restaurant. I recommend this place to anyone who wants great value and wonderful food.

I love trying out new cuisines that I have never had before, so I was really thrilled when I heard…read morethat a new Yemeni restaurant was opening up a short drive from my house. Overall, I thought the food was ok. Even though I wasn't wowed, I'm willing to go back to try other items. Since I know nothing about Yemeni food, other than there's a dish called Mandi that is very popular, I had lots of questions for the server. She was very nice, but didn't really "sell the food" as the descriptions she gave me were "it's chicken with vegetables," "it's meat and vegetables in a sauce" and "it's lamb with rice." I mean, she could have been describing Kung Pao Chicken, Irish Stew, and Lamb Biryani, right? Lol. She was really nice, so I won't fault her, but the owner really should add some descriptions to the dishes, or some bigger and clearer pictures on the menu (the server did mention that they are printing new menus and will be adding the menu to their website). Anyway, I went with the Chicken Mandi meal ($15), because I figured it must be popular for a reason. I also asked for some water, and was a bit surprised when they brought me a bottle of water ($1) as I was expecting just a glass of tap water with some ice, but oh well, the water was cold, and I feel that $1 is an acceptable price for a bottle of water. The Chicken Mandi meal was half a chicken on a bed of basmati rice with some almonds and fried shallots sprinkled on one corner. It also came with a soup that was mostly broth with some tiny pieces of vegetables, and a salad that consisted of romaine lettuce, cucumbers and a wedge of lime. The soup came out first and it was very hot, which I appreciated. However, I prefer chunky soups with little broth, and this soup was mostly broth with little chunks, lol. The broth, was also a bit greasy/oily, which is not to my liking. It had mostly carrots, onions and bell peppers in it, which were very soft. The salad was fresh and I liked that it came undressed. It did have a sprinkling of spices on it, perhaps some sumac (?) I'm not entirely sure. There was a sauce on the side that looked like a salsa that was really spicy. I'm not sure if it was for the salad or the chicken. The chicken itself was so moist and tender. The meat pretty much fell off the bone. The flavour was mild though, I was expecting more punch to it. The rice had a cinnamon/nutmeg warm spice element to it. I enjoyed the chicken and rice, but expected more of a flavour zing to it. I don't know what these dishes are supposed to taste like, so I'm just basing this review on my own personal preferences, so take it for what it is. I took home the leftovers, as the meal size is more suitable for big hungry guys, lol. Bukhari Restaurant is where Pita Bell Kabab used to be, but Pita Bell now moved down the street to where Pocketz and Robz used to be (it was a 1000 Sushi Islands before that). Anyway, I have noticed that ever since Bukhari opened up the parking lot of the strip mall that they're in is a lot busier! So I think they are doing well. I'm glad to see that Ottawa has an appetite for more diverse food options. My suggestion for the owner is to have more descriptions of a dish on the menu and bigger and clearer pictures. Also to advise the staff to guide customers a bit more if the customer appears to be new to Yemeni cuisine. I'm looking forward to trying other items on their menu.

This is THE WORST place ever. The owner cussed us out when we asked to have our shisha exchanged…read morebecause it was burnt. They use cheap equipment and don't know how to properly set up a shisha and their customer service is absolutely horrible. The waitress doesn't speak proper English and the manager/owner basically kicked us out and said quote "I don't fucking cafe, don't pay and leave."

So I'm not one to really write reviews but thought it would be nice to shed some light on this…read moreplace, Being a shisha smoker, the place was a nice change from my garage / backyard. Place inside has some nice décor and seats were okay. In regards to service, it was horrible. We were a group of six guys and I'm not sure why the waitress couldn't write down our order instead of screwing it up ... They were out of nuts and certain fruits for smoothies on a Saturday. Yep your busiest day !!! Also, waitress and owner were smoking in the front of the restaurant which is just wrong, especially since they came in and never washed their hands. I witnessed this four times while we were there. Yes it is a Shisha place and everyone is smoking but they are handling food ....Bay Rock managers, take a second to clean your booths and chairs, the ash from the coal is disgusting and obviously I know you never wipe down the leather. Hope this helps you out in improving your business but I won't return for sure.
