We got the chicken and rice platter to go, but I actually did not go inside, so I cannot attest to how the decor looks inside. I'll start with the good. The chicken has a great flavor and even about 45 minutes later, when we started eating it, it was still juicy and not dry, which is great. The rice was fluffy and not mushy, so that's good as well. I will say that I was disappointed that the tray seemed like it was half empty to begin with. If they put it in a smaller dish, perhaps it would look more full, but I really wish for the size of dish we got about a half tray would be at least half full. It looked scarce. At least it tasted good. read more

Excellent Yemini food. Very basic, unassuming location. Wasn't sure whether the food would be good based on entering the premises. Don't judge a book by its cover. This is easily the best value lamb in Houston - spicy, tasty and large. Recommend read more

Considering that I have never had Yemeni food before, I really enjoyed our visit to Sheba. The food is very simple and not spicy. I am not sure why I went in with the mindset that the food was going to be spicy, but it was very flavorful especially with the tomato based salsa like sauce and the raita like mint yogurt. Usually I am not a fan of yellow rice but this rice was extremely delicious and not dry. This is a whole in the wall place with solid food. Our server was very helpful in helping us decide what to order. We ordered the lamb, fish, and chicken dishes with rice. If I had to order again my favorite dish of the three was definitely the fish. The fish was marinated in this blend of spices that had a tamarind base along with dried spices that really complemented each other very well. The lamb was tender to touch and fell right off the bone. The chicken was slightly dry but I think that's because it was a chicken breast and I am usually team thighs. I got a Vimto and my friend got a hot tea. The tea was okay. Tasted a bit like it was made from a tea bag. But I am not an expert on tea. My friend seemed to really like it. Overall, a great first experience to Yemeni cuisine. read more

Excellent food n service. L0ve food very fresh n tasty. Enjoyed delicious food d. Ok to visit.

A very yummy spot for Yemeni. We ordered a variety of proteins: a fish, 2 kinds of chicken, 2 kinds of lamb. As well as the baba ganoush. And salad. The baba ganoush is very good. Usually I don't like it bc it's bland but this was flavorful. All the protein dishes come with plenty of rice. The chicken is well spiced but dry. I needed the yogurt sauce. The fish and hanish lamb was definitely my favorite. Very well seasoned and falls off the bone. The zurbian lamb is a dish where everything is mixed together. Overall it's a great spot to try Yemeni. read more

My friends and I came here to try some Yemeni food. The restaurant is what you would describe as a hole in the wall. Don't let the atmosphere of the restaurant scare you away, they only have menu on the website so you have to use the QR code on the table. The server was very helpful on some suggestions. There is no free water here, you can only buy bottle of waters. The baked fish was so delicious that order one to go from my mom. The portion size of the food is worth the money and it taste good. The Yemeni tea they have is really good tea as well. We got the Mandi lamb and the meat just fall off the bone. The chicken was okay, but I may try a different one next time. The Hanith chicken was good but a bit dry for me. read more

Wow. The best tasting lamb I have ever had! I highly recommend! A lot of food for the money as well.

It was reported that this place was one of Houston's Top 25 restaurants. Wrong. Food was basically either chicken or lamb with rice. We should have foreseen what we were getting into as no other customers were in the joint. Would I go back? Definitely and absolutely not. read more

Good place to eat. However on three occasions had different taste of chicken mandi. Need to have clean washrooms and more serving staff, as always found 1 person running everywhere from order taker to food delivery to payments.... read more

The place is awesome. The vimto drink is an acquired taste , a cornucopia of flavors in a sugary syrup. A mix of hibiscus, raspberry, black currant, herbs and spices. Apparently is popular in Yemen according to our server. We enjoyed the service and food read more

First time eating Yemeni food and I am excited. This place is not much to look at if you're into atmosphere, stop reading now and go elsewhere! I ordered a house salad and house soup only because they were out of the other appetizers. So far the service is extremely slow. I've been sitting here 20 minutes and haven't seen any food. Just as I wrote this the salad and soup arrived the salad was just cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce in a vinegar dressing. The soup was merely spices in a broth nothing else. The soup was the best tasting thing all night even though it's probably what you would be served in a third world prison and had no substance what so ever, not a single vegetable or meat. A few minutes the Hanith chicken arrived. It was a half chicken over a bed of spiced rice. The chicken had a strange texture and did not taste right. I will eat most anything no matter the texture if it tastes right. I eat a lot and almost always finish everything on the plate. I only ate a couple bites of the chicken and decided the best idea was to make a getaway and go somewhere good. I overheard the waiter talking to another table that just arrived about them being out of everything. The other patron complained that this was the second week in a row he tried to come eat there and they were out of everything. Those patrons left without eating and went elsewhere. It appears that the owner of this business is not interested in what people think about his restaurant. I am baffled by all the good reviews. Maybe it's people looking for comfort food from back home but they are suspicious. I will NOT be back to this place. read more

They have 100 reviews on google with a rating of 4.9 basically 5 stars This is as authentic (Yemeni food) as it will get in Houston. The Marq ( soup) is must try! ( PS is a little spicy if you never had it before but it's good not like spicy spicy .... Just try it ) Mandi Goat is 5/5 - the meat was tender and so flavorful, (a tad salty) but I would still recommend it and I would come back! UPDATE: - Second visit we tried Marq (again ) still 5/5 - (it's traditionally how my family has always started a Yemeni meal always Marq first ) Hanith Lamb 5/5 , perfection ! - Tender, flavor, portion , everything. Grilled Fish 5/5 - flavor and texture just melts 5/5 read more
