I am in town for work. I stopped in to see what they had to offer. Did not leave upset. Gentlemen at the counter was phenomenal, helped me pick out my meal and when I was waiting, introduced me to Turkish tea! I now have a new obsession. Food was freshly made salad was loaded with vegetables. I will definitely be back every time. I am in Dearborn read more

Food was amazing, though the service is a little questionable and the place was infested with flies, the food made up for it!

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! read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant, I was very disappointed I eat deboned chicken all the time this chicken was the worst I've ever had! It was dry no flavor just horrible so was the rice! The management is rude! I told everyone I know about this place and how terrible there food is read more

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. read more

Sheeba Restaurant - Soup - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

The food is good hands down, but the service is horrible waited 45 minutes and the host told us to wait while hes helping other people that came in after us, i told the waiter whats going on can i get someone to take our order he said i be right there 5-7 minutes later went up to him whats going on, ur now that busy, he had the balls to tell me we're eating, i was like what!! Even the cook he said yeah. There was like 5 people in a circle just eating. So i told him can we get someone to take our order he said ill come right now, i said ok thank u! We wait for another 10 minutes the host/manager wait by and my friend said whats going on where r waiter? He acted all surprised and said what nobody came to serve you yet, my friend said u walked by us 3 time and we told u and we went to the waiter and he said he be right there and no one came, So we told him this is bad service and we are leavinghe was like no dont go and started to swear to God for us not to go, but been waiting for 45 minutes we were not going to wait any longer. The funny thing is we used to go every Saturday ot not like they didnt know us or that we weren't regulars. What dose it matter how good the food is if the services bad.. read more

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. read more

Sheeba Restaurant - Meat & Eggs w/no meat - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Amazing restaurant everything is so tasty Prices are great. The meat is so tender the bread is so good. read more

I echo the previous posts about waiting for your order longer than other people who entered the restaurant after you. The food is okay but definitely not worth the $ for the serving size. The restaurant was serving food to those individuals they knew on a personal basis it seemed; which allowed those individuals to receive their food well before I did. I don't plan on returning. read more

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. read more

Sheeba Restaurant - Platter for 2 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

I was recommended to go to this place by an acquaintance from Saudi Arabia. Moreover, I know Yemeni food reasonably well (family), and, I have to say, that this is some of the best I've ever had. The staff took care of our party of 11 with no problems whatsoever, and helped the people who had never had Middle Eastern food work through the menu. The Lamb Hanith was so tender, it was almost melted in my mouth, and the chicken povided a nice, juicy complement. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. All told, everyone agreed that this was the highlight of our evening. We will be back! read more

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! read more

Delicious hole in the wall. It takes you back to any typical gulf city with separate family and men zones. Seating is on the floor and communal platters are served. To get the best of the experience embrace all of it, roll up your sleeves and eat with you hands. Trust me you will quickly realize this is the best way to eat read more

Amazing tasty food. Ordered Combi lamb Haneeth, masloug and finally in Malakai (prepared with dates and cream). Lamb is very soft and juicy. read more

Best dish to get is their hallmark Haneeth (rice and grilled lamb) but their grilled fish is also really good! And the oven-baked bread is to die for :) Very cozy, with a section for families with a private-curtained Arabian-style seating on the ground. read more

One of the best restaurants in Dearborn. Stuff were really nice food was good and didn't take long to get ready. And was not pricey too. read more

Great tasting fall off the bone lamb! Great customer service. Every little detail of the decor is so well thought out. If you're tired of shawarma and kababs, then this is a great place to go. Their sA Aya is yummy!!! read more

The only reason why i am giving them 2 stars is because of my last experience there even tho they deserve more but let's just put it this way hoping things will change. The place is always crowded which is good cuz it gives me an appetite to attack food lol. I have been going there for almost 3 weeks nonstop, but lately i had an issue with the constant change of their prices! Honestly great food but in my personal opinion i think they have two problems like any other restaurants: 1)their prices are always changing and it all depends on the cashier mode or if you know somebody or you are "A Bro" they will take care of you. 2)poor customer service which is not an issue for me but when someone takes your order and for more than 30 mins long time waiting they come back to you to tell you "we are closing"! They FORGOT you even there and FORGOT your order! Plus they let you keep waiting like you are nobody, even-though they did fix their mistake. Which will not change my opinion. Other than that the place is clean enough, but it stinks. Food is very very good plus their choices are amazing. I haven't been in their other locations but definitely i will pay them a visit. And YES i recommend going there. read more

Ah I wonder if I can give this place more than 5 stars. How much I miss the neck piece of meat (haneeth), kibdeh, salteh (or fahsah) and the big bread. So, here is my love story with this place. I have been introduced with the kibdeh(lamb liver) fried in mild spices and few vegetables such as tomatoes/onions and with their big yummy bread. The best time of the year to eat the yummilicious food here is when cold. They give you the best remedy to recover from the flu (my suggestion - of course dr's opinion is needed- I am NOT a dr). Their lamb bones broth soup which they serve at the start is a TRUE appetizer. Pour in some lemon juice and mix the green/red sauce. Which will make it a perfect recipe for the start of what comes next. Next thing would be Haneeth(Lamb meat portions cooked in, I guess, clay oven nicely put over rice) + Lamb Kibdeh(liver) with their bread... Ah .. My mouth is already watery thinking of the food there. I DON'T work for them but I brought my guests from all over and they wanted to come back here. One of my friend was visiting from Toronto and we had our last meal there in the midst of snow storm LoL and he made a commitment to come back and eat here. If you are not a big fan of lamb, can try out chicken too. I love this place so much that I even crave it when I was in Australia.. I LOVE EVERY BIT OF IT. I am not their publicity manager LoL. I am not sure about if it's a family place or not. It's more like a casual place to eat. They have opened another place to eat but haven't tried yet. So can't give any word for it!!!! Money wise it's dirt cheap. We were 6 guys and ate for like 45$ and take away for the next day as well. read more

Amazing food omg! I ordered foul familia salta fahsa omg all yummy and reasonable prices can't wait for the second location on Michigan avenue to open read more

The food is just alright. For my palate, I found the it slightly bland. The lamb meat preparation was very tender and if I ever go there again, I will probably order the same dish. They have a separate section for family which is nice. If you like Yemen cuisine, then I guess you might like the place better. Else just skip this one. read more

Fantastic food. Best lamb ever. A bit pricy, but not unreasonable for the amount of food you get.

The best authentic Yemeni food I had ever . Yemeni and Somali food are very similar but trust me they exceed us by miles in taste. Friendly service crew as well. read more

Order lamb meat, you get only thick bones. Very much more expensive than Sheeba Restaurant in Hamtramck. I would give 6 stars to Sheeba Hamtramck. 2 stars for this branch. p.s. rude staff read more

It's one of the best restaurants in America known for Yemeni food . I have tried many other restaurants but when comes to taste and service they are an A1 restaurant. read more

I know Yemeni food, and this place is authentic Yemeni and boy was it good. If you are new to Yemeni food, I highly recommend ordering the Haneeth. You won't regret it. Also, for dessert, go for the sabaya...it is pricey, but as someone who makes sabaya, I know that it is a long and tedious process and it is worth the cost and time! If you are in a small group and don't think you can finish it, take it home and have it for breakfast! Or a snack! read more

When we walked in two customers at the first table asked if we had been in before. They recommended what they were eating and when we were seated the waiter recommended the same dish( Haneeth) and one other. The food was excellent, the other patrons were friendly and chatty. As I was paying at the counter one of the customers that had come in for a take out dessert was also paying. I asked what his order and he got spoons and gave my wife and I a taste. So good that we ordered some to go. If you havent had Yemeni food it is well worth trying and this restaurant great. read more
