I have been looking for some really good lamb in the area and this place has definitely satisfied my craving. Highly recommend the spot for fall off the bone lamb and excellent food. The service is also wonderful and the restaurant has a great ambience.

This simple, home-style Yemeni restaurant offers a no-frills experience with quick service, though the staff lacks warmth. As a vegetarian, I found the menu limited to just three options: sambusa, lentil soup, and saltah. I tried the saltah, a mixed vegetable stew, which was decent but not extraordinary, and it came with a huge pita bread . My husband enjoyed the chicken kabsah--flavorful but missing the spicy kick that would elevate it. The maraq soup was good. Overall, it's not ideal for vegetarians, but if you're dining with meat-eaters, you'll have something to enjoy.

Saba is a small restaurant and had a steady stream of customers for the duration of our meal. The wait staff was a little slow in providing bread refills but every dish was prepared care and seasoned well. There are not many vegetable forward dishes but if you're there for meat and rice, you'll be very pleased.

Love Yemeni food! So underrated! So flavorful and delicious! The bubbling fahsah was amazing with the delicious broth and tender meat. The bread perfect for sopping it all up! The haneeth was delicious the meat falls off the bone! A must try! The hummus was really good! I really liked it with the olives. The service was quick and staff were super nice! We were attended to really quickly, but we did go at a relatively quiet time during the day. The restaurant has a small hole in the wall vibes, but the food is big on taste and flavor!

Incredible Yemeni cuisine and thoughtful service! I'm so happy we stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant for lunch. We actually ordered both the meat and veggie sambousa, but they disappeared before I could get a full shot of the dish. It was that delicious! The Lamb Mandi was so tender and the seasoning and salt were very well-balanced. To top lunch off with dessert, we had the Fatah dates with honey and it was perfect~ Not too sweet, and just right. Perfectly paired with a steaming cup of gingery Qishr coffee. There's plenty of seating inside, though if you have a large party, you'll want to call ahead. The staff made us feel very welcome and were kind to suggest the menu items we were unfamiliar with. Absolutely looking forward to coming back next time I visit the area!

A lot of tasty food at the restaurant, though the restaurant felt crowded at times. Definitely want to come again.

This was an amazing place to try out! The restaurant is cozy with very friendly service. I came here with three other people and we came hungry! We order a beef, lamb, and chicken dish along with hummus. Everything was so flavorful, filling, and well cooked. We asked the server for their recommendations and they did not steer us wrong. We also had the baklava and fatah, which were also both amazing and recommended.

We ordered to-go here and they were super quick and packed up everything very neatly! We tried the lamb kabsah, which was around $27, so a bit on a pricier side, however, the quantity is enough for 4 people or 2 large meals for 2 people. So, it is definitely worth it! Adel was super helpful in giving us recommendations and explanations of what each dish was! We are so happy with his recommendation. The lamb kabsah was very flavorful and the meat was cooked perfectly! They even gave us some green sauce on the side because we asked for some more spice. Great option for a late night meal! We will definitely be back!

First time diners. Great place. We will go back. We loved the lamb. The chicken just fell off the bone. Rice was delicious. The hummus was heavier on the tahini and was really great. Service was fast and friendly. Really enjoyed our dinner out. TIP: So one main entree feeds 2 people very well. The patrons coming in here eat family style. So- if you are a party of 4, order one of the lamb entrees, and then maybe a chicken. Add a couple of appetizers. The desserts are large and meant to be split between 4 people. Eat family style. Hope that helps you order better. We didn't know that, and brought home a lot of leftovers!

It was open 10am-11pm, 7-days a week when we visited. It seems the hours haven't changed.

I've been wanting to come here for a long time. I was finally able to dine in for lunch. From the…read moremoment I sat down, to the moment I left was pure zen. I felt so happy n comfortable the entire time. What surprised me was how amazing all the banchan was. That's how rare it is to get some good tasting sides. I feel that it's gone way down hill over the years. 20 years ago most the Korean places had good food n very tasty banchan. No,w its or miss, but most places don't have good banchan. It really takes away from the experience. You have good meat but mid sides. I felt the love being put into their food here which is rare these days. The meat was superb, I could tell soon as it arrived it was high quality. Was tender n delicious. The sauces, the service, the rice, the sides, the meat. The kicker was the smooth jazz playing in the background. I was in pure bliss! Can't wait to come try dinner next time. This place def lived up to their reputation. Please never change as you got it right.

We enjoyed our visit to this place. The atmosphere was calmer compared to other Korean BBQ…read morerestaurants, which was a nice change. My wife and I ordered the Pork & Beef Guide. We were quite pleased with the selection of meats provided. And found the quantities to be ample. And the taste ... really good! Our server was also very attentive. Not only to ensure that our meal was cooked properly, but that all other needs were met. So the service was excellent!

Out of towner + lover of really good, authentic tacos read reviews to pick out this place…read more Closed Mondays so just made it on Sunday for dinner. Counter order/buzzer to hold til ready. What a find!!! I have to mention the amount of flavors bursting forth before anything else. 1st bite- we were sold. Never said this B4 in a review - these tacos could not have been any better, in any way, than they were here. Juicy and tender, we tried 5 types, the beef birria, goat birria, chicken tinga, chicken+chorizo, and beef tinga. All equally great. Then Sopas chicken tinga, beer birria So fabulous too. Loved every single bite. Small place, very casual with several inside tables, more outside. Sat down for some,carryout for more. Carryout was well packaged- self serve some of the 3 sauces to go to try. Green is avocado/tomatillo mix, red is hotter/sharper, orange (kickin/creamy) good. Decent sized menu but not trying to do everything- smart move. Because everything they do they do extremely well. Before we even left, I said "If we lived here , I'd be coming here almost every week". It's that good. We're both retired chefs and cook at home constantly, but this was something special. Do Not Miss.

It made such a great impression that we decided to visit the restaurant in person, and the experience was just as fantastic. I ordered the manta, which are a bit larger than traditional Turkish dumplings, and they were incredibly delicious--I couldn't stop eating them. My husband had the Mongolian beef and loved every bite. And whatever you do, don't leave without trying the honey cake--it's the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Highly recommend!

Servers were watching a soccer game on the TV while we ate, and they failed to bring us water. We ordered the Korma Chop, pearl noodles, and cold skin noodles. All three dishes were mediocre at best and they brought out the cold skin noodles only after we had finished the Korma Chop and pearl noodles despite it being an appetizer. The noodle quality was subpar with no chew to it in all three dishes. In the end we had to go to the cashier to pay our bill because we couldn't get any of the servers' attention. Needless to say, we won't be coming back to this restaurant any time soon.

The space itself was cozy, and the wall decor made it feel warm and comfortable, perfect for a nice dinner with friends or family. The lamb skewers were so flavorful with generously-sized chunks of lamb on the skewer. I was so curious about the noodles and I'm glad we got the chance to try the gambian soman. You can tell the noodles were hand-pulled, they were so bouncy and absorbed the flavor of the meat (we got lamb) and the bell peppers so well. For dessert, we had the honey cake, which was also amazing. The cake layers were a little crumbly which complimented the cream layers in between, and the sweetness was perfectly, which I usually am cautious about when it comes to food sweetened with honey. I did end up coming back two days in a row because I was craving the lamb lol

I have been to almost all the Ughyur food spots in the DMV and Eerkin is simply my favorite for several reasons. The food is served piping hot. Like pipe down hot or whatever you say... and it is darn delicious. This time around I went there on a date and even though the date went horribly wrong because the girl was telling me if I want to be with her I have to stop wearing shorts but as soon as I took a bike out of this Thawa Lamb Shank her voice became mute and all I could hear was the storm caused by the flavors in my mouth. Everything here tastes amazing, from the soft and chewy hand pulled noodles to the dumplings and the pilaf. I love this place. 5/5 I won't mind having more bad dates here.
