They have beautiful booths for smaller groups, which looked very comfortable, but since we were a large party, we were seated at tables that accommodated everyone perfectly. The young lady at the front desk deserves special recognition. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her hospitality made us feel right at home and set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The menu offers a great variety of authentic dishes, and we decided to order the Shibam Plate, which comes with the giant Mandhi platter. It included four huge freshly baked breads, four delicious dips, two chicken soups, two lamb soups, and an enormous Mandhi platter that was more than enough for our group. The value for money was simply incredible. The food was exceptional. The rice was wonderfully fragrant and packed with flavor, making it the perfect base for the meal. The lamb was unbelievably tender, literally falling off the bone, while the chicken was perfectly cooked juicy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The spicy sauce served with the Mandhi was absolutely delicious and complemented the rice and meat perfectly. Every single item was fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavor. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Every one of us thoroughly enjoyed the food, the generous portions, the outstanding service, and the welcoming atmosphere. This restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. We left happy, completely satisfied, and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!

Located in Hilltop Plaza, this Mediterranean restaurant immediately makes you feel like you've stepped into a different place. The decor, music, and even the food products they have at the counter really add to the atmosphere. We were immediately greeted, helped, and seated. The service was impeccable. Our waitress checked in on us the perfect amount. She was attentive without being overbearing. I ordered the baba ghanoush and the beef kebab platter, and both were really good! I'll admit I've had better, which is why I'm giving this place 4 stars, but overall, I had a great experience. The food, atmosphere, and service definitely make this a place I'll be coming back to!

The meat lacked flavor. The hummus was THE WORST hummus I have ever had - the olive oil drizzled on top had an awful taste and the hummus itself had no flavor. The best thing about this place is that the pita is hot. Save your money and go somewhere else. The staff seemed uninterested and were slow. The drink machine was off and needed to be turned on (they had already been open an hour and this had yet to be done)

The Adeni tea was delicious, warm and wonderfully spiced, and the Fahsah lamb was another favorite. Rich, tender and full of flavor. Two of the guys shared the big mixed grill with rice and made quick work of it. There was plenty to try and everything was flavorful. We finished with the Arika, a traditional Yemeni dessert made with dates, bread, honey, ghee and milk. It was rich, sweet and unlike anything we'd had before--a great way to finish the meal. This was one of those meals where trying something different really paid off. Delicious food, generous portions and lots of flavors we don't get to experience very often. We'd absolutely go back.

Our carry-out order was missing the side of rice pudding we paid for, so that was a letdown. The falafel plate was literally rice, some falafel balls, and a very thin/small spread of hummus (nothing like what's pictured online). I'm annoyed we tipped them. Be aware this is in a seedy shopping center, too. Lots of foot traffic coming from the nearby extended stay hotel, and my partner was harassed for money in the short walk from the store to our vehicle.
