The owner Ali told me that the owners of the franchise are Yemeni but specialize in Turkish desserts like the milk cakes. Their fruit platter is also very good, sweet with honey and also slightly savory with some cheese/cream sauce. Healthy as well.

Seriously one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. This place was a little ways away from the…read moredowntown area, but easy enough to get to by bus. For two people, without reservations, we waited about 30 minutes on an early Saturday evening. Well with the wait. The interior was nicely designed and the staff were very attentive. Ordered the Kumuhana and tried the Ji Hibiscus beverage. The drink was good, but on the sweet side. The food was amazing. Chicken was super tender, rice was cooked well, corn salad added a nice touch of freshness, and the plantains were good too. A very filling meal, I'm surprised I was able to finish it all. Would definitely come back again, if in town.

It required two visits, trying different dishes to finally have enough 411 to write a review…read more Tried: Sambusa, Plantains Chips & Dipping Sauce, Nyumbani, Kuku, Kumuhana, Mbuzi, Samaki, Intore, Mgoga, Tamu, Coco Mango, & Ji Passion Fruit My Favorites: Intore and Samaki - when it comes to flavor profiles, these two dishes shine over others. I also asked the waitress which dish is the most popular and they told me the Samaki is their #1 seller. I tired half/half on the rice on my first visit, this visit I went with spiced rice pilau only. I'm not a fan of coconuts, while the coconut rice doesn't have a overpowering coconut flavor, spiced rice will be my to go moving forward. Nyumbani, while decent, the meat was bit under seasoned to my taste. Kuku was the better over Kuhuhana. Mbuzi - the goat shank was lukewarm when we got it, it was bit hard to break the meat off the bone, but worth trying at least once. Service was superb on both visits, water bottle gets refilled w/o asking, and great experience. While I won't be able to make it out often, definitely will be on my list of places to revisit while in Detroit area.

My mom and I stopped in on a chilly afternoon, looking to warm up with something cozy. The café itself is small but inviting, with a few booths and tables for dining in. The woman behind the counter was such a sweetheart. She was genuinely friendly and welcoming. They were out of my mom's favorite dessert (the Yemeni honeycomb), but we went for two cups of mint tea instead ($2.99 each, regular size). Even the regular cups were huge, and I'm pretty sure one is enough to share between two people. The tea came with real mint leaves, which gave it that fresh, earthy flavor that hits perfectly with a touch of sugar. Just a tip: remove the leaves after a few minutes so the tea doesn't turn bitter.

The store definitely seemed newer. They said they were best known for their desserts however I did not have the opportunity to try them.

The only good thing about this place is that they are open late. I have gone twice in recent times…read morebeing the last two months and the past two times I've gone my order has either been wrong taking an extra long time or made at a lower quality. I went today and the bowl that I ordered had coconut on it. I specifically requested for there not to be coconut on it. I am not allergic, but I hate the taste and it makes me sick, but my food took so long that I am just gonna have to go through it because I do not have time to wait for it to be remade Do not be fooled by the signage either I purchased a açai bowl, which is advertised at 10, and I purchased a smoothie advertised at $9. In theory this should total $19 before tax and with six cents on every dollar should add an additional $1.14 totaling to $20.14 I was charged $22.06. In short, only go here if you are desperate or want something really late like I did as I recently just got off of work and needed to eat something but do so at your own risk as you are likely to be overcharged and your food will come out low quality. Not to mention, I watched people come in and order after I did and still receive their item before I did
