a bowl of soup on a plate
Harish V.

Ended up here unexpectedly as the Arabian Village was not open. Order: --------- Tandoori Roti---Good Platter( Chicken Galabha, Lamb Haneeth , Salatah with Rice) -- Meat was good but rice is bland Lamb Soup -- Must Try Coke Pros: ------- Food Free street Parking Cons: ------- Service is horrible Cleanliness Charged price different than Menu Price( He told menu is old & not updated)

This was my very first time eating Yemen food so I was really excited. My eating companion and I arrived on a Thursday evening and pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves upon arrival. We sat in one of the private areas enclosed with a curtain with the sofa and pillows very low to the ground. It was very cozy. It was a little chilly because it seemed some of the staff were unloading a shipment from outside so we kept feeling the breeze of the outside air. I think one of my favorite things was the tea. The black tea was ah-mazing! It was the perfect blend of spices and sweetness. I wanted a large cup of that tea to go. And now for the food. I went with my friend who's from Yemen so he did all the ordering. I just sat back and enjoyed everything. I'll do my best to describe what we had though. The first thing up was what resembled a lentil type soup with a salas-like accompaniment to add to the soup with fresh lemons. It was very tasty and very fresh. Next, we were brought out a dip-type meaty dish in a black, hot dish that was sizzling upon drop-off. You dipped your bread in it and ate it just like that with your hands. There was also a beige-type dish made of beans, I believe, that you could add to the meaty dip if you pleased. I didn't too much care for this one but my friend really enjoyed it. And the bread was so good and non-stop. I think I probably ate about three whole pitas by myself. Next up was a dish with lamb, multi-colored rice, and potatoes and peppers smothered in gravy. This was also very good and filling. Lastly, for dessert, we had a dish made up small pieces of bread, topped with a yogurt-topping with honey. It was very rich but really flavorful. And the service was great! Everything came out super fast and was the right temperature. If you've never been here before and want to taste authentic Yemen food, I'd highly recommend it!

Basically demolished lamb. Was too hungry to take photos first. Oops.

Pros: Food, waitstaff, seating. Food was excellent, large portions, authentically Yemeni. Had fahsa, marag, lamb haneeth, and some tea. All very very good. Waitstaff was good, tentative, respectful. Seating is awesome. One side of the restaurant is for traditional seating with curtains, for women and families, who wish to eat in privacy (floor seating). The other side of the restaurant is a traditional Western style dining area. Plenty of good parking outside, too. I highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys Yemeni food, especially for families. The tables are covered with plastic, so don't feel embarrassed eating with your hands. Believe me, it's best eaten this way. Cons: Location. Middle of nowhere location just out of town. Decor is also lacking. Also note: a lot of the photos on here are from the Sheeba on Michigan Ave and are not accurate depictions of this location.

Meat & Eggs w/no meat

Good food, horrible service! Paid $10 for what basically looks like a veggie omelet, because apparently they don't have meat at the Dix location. That's right folks, this kid looked me dead in the eye and said they have no meat at all in the whole restaurant lol. Keep in mind Meat &Eggs is on the menu. This was my takeout experience, so I definitely wouldn't recommend dining in.

Soup

There meat is great I like there fahsa The rice is not that good try to ask for madgoot rice its a better I thin its a little more expensive than sheeba restaurant in Hamtramck

Platter for 2
Di Z.

My experience at Sheeba is like no other. This is not your typical Middle Eastern restaurant. Yemenese food does not have your garden variety - shawarmas, falafel , hummus. But what it does offer is meat...hunks of the most tender meat I have ever had in my life. The ambience is strange, it's definitely hole in the wall kind of place. I went with a Non-middle Eastern person and we were the only non-Arabic speaking people at the restaurant. They divided the restaurant into sections, one section in the back for families and the regular section where I was also the only woman at the restaurant. I know friends of mine have warned me about that, I personally didn't experience any harassment or any major stares and the restaurant staff was nice to us. But again, if you are female, I probably would go with at least one male companion. Got the platter for 2 to share, portion size is totally off the charts. It's great for trying different types of meat. Also, the platter size comes with your choice of soup or salad. They have raised the price on the platters sometime recently as the menu on Yelp is slightly outdated (now $29.99). The lamb haneeth is my favorite, amazingly well cooked lamb with great flavoring. We couldn't finish most of the rice. Also, the meat/rice is meant to be eaten with your fingers and soft warm flat bread that they provide judging by what the other patrons were doing but thankfully they gave us utensils. Overall, it's an authentic experience that will may make you feel out of your comfort zone but the food is really worth it.

Lamb and Chicken Hanith over Rice
Sam L.

Had a truly fantastic meal here. Came in with a party of 11 and the staff were more than accommodating and helpful with our order. Along with the rest of this delicious feast, the lamb and chicken hanith as well as the rice it was served over is some of the best food I've had in Michigan. Will definitely be back!

Sometimes inconstant but great food. Lamb so tender you can chew with your lips.

As someone who travels frequently for work and has spent considerable time in the Middle East, I…read morehave high standards when it comes to authentic food. Sheeba exceeded every expectation. The food was outstanding. The lamb was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The fresh bread, rice, and overall quality of the meal reminded me why Dearborn has become one of my favorite food destinations whenever I'm in Michigan. What made the experience even better was the service from Murad. From the moment I sat down, Murad was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. He got my food out quickly, checked on me throughout the meal without being intrusive, and before I left, he thoughtfully brought me a wonderful cup of tea to finish the evening. His warm smile, positive attitude, and professionalism made a great meal even more memorable. Restaurants can serve excellent food, but great hospitality is what keeps people coming back. Murad is a perfect example of that. If management is reading this, he's doing an outstanding job representing your restaurant. I'll be back every time my travels bring me to Dearborn.

Likes this kabob place that came highly recommended by so workers and YELP. Myself and two other chefs are away from home on assignment. Wanted something different to eat. This place did not disappoint. We all shared all of our samples and got the same entrees as well. We all really enjoyed our company and dinner. Sadly we were so full there was no room for dessert. The restaurant seemed a bit cold with all the tile and woodwork but the service shone. She realized that us chefs just wanted the real deal and we got it... Highly recommend this place...

I did enter through the rear of the establishment since I parked there. The menu is pretty extensive. Ended up getting the half order of hummus. A basket of warm pita and two sauces came out. I initially thought that was the pita. This was complimentary I believe. The garlic sauce is solid. The other one is a spicy sauce of some sort. This spicy one was super good. The hummus came out. Very smooth and flavorful. For my entree, I got the Shish Kafta. You can choose between lamb or chicken. I went with the chicken with a side of rice and my choice of soup or salad. I opted for the lentil soup. That came out piping hot. This was delicious. Flavorful and good texture. My entree came out and wow. The portion is way more than what you pay for. Came with 4 very huge blocks of chicken kefta. Nicely seasoned and grilled to perfection. Had a nice char on the outside, but still juicy on the inside. I used the two sauces from earlier to give it an extra kick. I washed it all down with a mint lemonade. This was absolutely refreshing. Clean place, very good food and the customer service was solid.

Michigan weather would make me want this type of soup on a regular basis. The garlic sauce is a thick dip that was great for dipping the falafel and the fries. You have the option to get your fries seasoned- do that! It has a little spice but it's perfect. The falafel was perfectly cooked. Not too dry with a little crunch. I would definitely order those on each visit. The sandwich was filling and stuffed full of perfectly seasoned chicken. The garlic dip and pickles were spread throughout the inside of the sandwich as well. The thin bread was both soft and crisp. We ended with a hot black tea with cardamom. It was a great way to finish the meal. Although it is not a profile I am used to, I enjoyed it. The service was top tier! The young man was so friendly and polite.

Just fantastic service by Ali with Baba cooking in the kitchen and serving up great dishes. Fantastic experience. I cannot wait to visit again to get some Iraqi breakfast. Truly a destination drive!

I've seen this restaurant sooooo many times and yet never stopped,never went in, never ate there…read more Until I DID! And I am so glad I did! We were greeted so warmly and seated immediately. Our server, bus boy, and supporting staff was so welcoming. The area was full of customers and the clanging of cooking utensils and the small chatter made the atmosphere very cozy. And then the food came, ahh the food. Hot and steaming, smelling of the herbs and spices, bountiful and nutritious. The selection we made was a platter made for two. So beautiful, bountiful, nutritious, and delicious. We chose grilled vegetables instead of the rice or noodles( less carbs). Lamb, chicken, beef and vegetables. Yummy. We also had a mango strawberry smoothie as well. There was so much food that we had left overs! Please stop and enjoy this place. It will delight you and your senses. Stay Yelping my friends!

A bit pricey; decent food; mediocre service; decent dining room…read more Three of us shared a small fattoush with grilled chicken, two falafel sandwiches, fries, and a minty lemonade: $45 Fattoush was good, as was the grilled chicken. The minty lemonade was tasty. The falafel sandwich was simply gross: tasted like it was made from a cheap mix -- both the texture and color (see pic) were off. Definitely would not recommend. The fries were surprisingly good. We also enjoyed the red spicy garlic sauce. The service was not great. Our weirdly cheerful server, Oksana, was serving multiple tables, and was quite busy -- we had to flag her down to get our bill after she visited our neighboring table THREE times without checking in on us. All this while three young bearded stood behind the counter watching the dining room but doing little but scroll on their phones and talk to each other. Another three bearded young men, apparently cooks, sat in a back corner table on their phones... one of them wore black (latex?) gloves and continued to wipe his nose, lips, and forehead! Not good.
