Lamb Galabah
Doug R.

Sunday morning @ 10AM and we were the first customers. This is strictly Yemeni cuisine - no Michigan diner food here. Moataz(?) was our server - rockstar. My Ful Medamas (breakfast, mashed fava bean stew) is excellent. I ordered mine with egg cooked in the stew. It arrived boiling hot in a small crock. It brought back the (few) good memories of Cairo. SWMBO ordered Lamb Gallabah. It was excellent and the portion was generous. Will we return? Yes!

All of their hot dishes were so good! This was just one plate - A ceramic plate contains a grilled chicken leg quarter, rice with vegetables, cucumber slices, flatbread, and side dishes including a creamy dip and chopped vegetables. The meal appears to be Middle Eastern or Mediterranean cuisine, served on a dark wooden table with a patterned surface in the background.

We were in the area for work yesterday and gave this place a try. Wow...they are so friendly and welcoming here! The place was very clean also. We opted for the lunch buffet and enjoyed a little bit of everything. All the dishes were fresh, full of flavor and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area. Thank you guys for great food and service!

Every time I visit Michigan I make it a goal to visit Dearborn in order to try a new restaurant. Today I tried Sheeba and I must say it was delicious! I ordered the Fahsah and Lamb soup. Both were amazing! I loved the taste of the lamb with the Yemenese seasonings. So good! The restaurant itself was decorated well and had beautiful decorations. Our waitress was was very nice and attentive. While in the area you must try Sheeba.

I came here with my parents. The food was average I would say. The kebabs were a bit dry. The babaganoush was probably my favorite part of the meal, the bread that comes with it is amazing. The service is very good and the staff is nice. There is plenty of seating and parking.

Torn between 4 and 5 stars. I guess I'll do 4 but probably would do 4.5. The haneeth lamb and to a lesser extent chicken is amazing!!! It's like melt off the bone amazing. This is the reason I always come back. But the basically everything else that I've tried at least is not that great compared to the Lebanese version: fattoush, bread, rice, garlic sauce. Maybe it's just this restaurant or maybe I just don't like the Yemeni version. The service is friendly.

Family platter for 8 - A large round metal serving tray holds a mixture of yellow and white rice, grilled meat skewers, and pieces of cooked chicken. Two serving spoons and skewers are placed on the tray for serving. The tray is on a wooden table, with small bowls, glasses of water, and plates visible in the background, indicating a communal dining setting at Sheeba Restaurant in Dearborn, MI.

I wasn't too happy with the food. The food had no flavor almost. Their mixed family platter is way way over priced for $200 plus it has no flavor. So flavorless and some kabobs were burnt. Their lamb platter was just a little better but still not worth 200 but more like 60bucks. this one in picture was not good at all. The place is super expensive and food quality is not as good. In conclusion Worst food I ever tried.

Baba Ghanouj and Falafel
Albert T.

My first taste of Yemeni food was at this location of Sheeba Restaurant, coincidentally during Dearborn Restaurant Week 2022. The food made such a solid impression that since then, I have visited several other Yemeni restaurants and been to this and the East Dearborn Sheeba several times. During Dearborn Restaurant Week 2024, I decided to revisit Sheeba as my first stop of the week. Surprisingly, the offerings remained exactly the same as in 2022. Somehow, Sheeba has managed to keep prices down through all the inflation in the previous years. We both got the $15 special, which comes with a drink, a choice of three appetizers - Falafel, Baba, or Hummus, and one of two mains - Half Chicken Haneeth or Fahsah. Falafel - This is a mini order of 3 falafel on a bed of greens. The falafel aren't fried all that well; the exterior is mostly dry but barely crisp. The chickpeas are more coarsely ground, resulting in an interior that has a more crumbly (but moist) mouthfeel. They don't mix many herbs in the falafel, so it's missing some of the fresh notes that help balance out the salty/sesame/chickpea flavor. The falafel are supposed to come with tahini and tomato, but we didn't receive either. (3/5) Baba Ghanouj - This is quite a chunky baba with larger pieces of tender eggplant mixed in with pureed chickpeas. They mill the eggplant quite well so there's barely any seeds mixed in. The eggplant has a slight hint of char, but not nearly as much as other places. (4/5) Note: The appetizers come with one piece of rashush which they will charge you $1 extra for. This is not noted on the menu at all. Chicken Haneeth, Half - The chicken is fall off the bone tender with a great char on the exterior and a somewhat smoky flavor. The interior meat is salty and tastes of fresh chicken. The texture is somewhat too tender and renders the chicken a bit sticky, like it kind of sticks to the teeth as you chew. The chicken comes on one side of a mound of yellow rice, which is fluffy and perfectly cooked and seasoned. On the other side rests a number of potatoes cooked in a savory tomato base The potatoes are quite dense but cooked until tender. A container of sahawiq is served on the side that adds a salsa-like bright herbal freshness and a bit of spiciness. (4/5) Fahsah - This is probably my favorite dish at Sheeba - I've always ordered it through my multiple visits. The fahsah is made with shredded lamb mixed with mashed potato with the meat having only the barest hint of lamb gaminess (this location is quite consistent with the flavor, but the one in East Dearborn sometimes tastes very gamey). It's very tender and doesn't get caught in your teeth as you chew. The dish is served in a clay pot, still bubbling when it arrives at the table, and it continues to bubble for quite a while afterwards - I've never succeeded to not to burn my tongue due to impatience. The bubbling action creates a delicious crust along the bottom of the pot that requires a bit of work to scrape up with a spoon. There's a thick layer of oil on top that is red-orange from the spices, but surprisingly the dish doesn't taste that greasy. It's served with one piece of rashush that is fresh baked, with some charred bubbly crispy bits and some chewy bits. The bread is studded with nigella seeds, lending a pleasing earthiness. (5/5) Overall I've found the main entrees to be delicious but the mezze to be only okay to good. Since eating at Sheeba the first time, we've expanded to eating at other traditional Yemeni places and I have to say that Sheeba is definitely a bit more Westernized than those places. Not saying that's bad - Sheeba is still a great stop in Dearborn if you're looking to try something a bit different from all the Lebanese places around. Bathrooms - Men's room has two stalls and two urinals. Women's room has three stalls. Overall rating of the food this visit: 4/5

Salad
Ed M.

This place is a pleasant surprise and the food is very tasty and savory. It is a Yemeni restaurant and the food is a little spicy but very flavorful. A lot of the meats are lamb and it was a great experience overall. The salad was very fresh and surprisingly much bigger than expected. The hafsa? Is served in a clay bowl and one of their specialties. Safe bet is to take the family plate that serves either four or eight people as it includes several of their most famous dishes.

Went to this place with couple of friends! We ordered chicken zurbian rice , sambosa , frise and hummus. The rice came with meat soup. The rice was delicious, tasty and tender. The chicken is already mixed up with the rice. It tasted good But the rice arrived a little bit cold. The samosa is one of my favorite. Very good! I wasn't a big fan of the soup but the frise and the hummus was great replacement for me. We paid around $33 for everything! Which was a good deal. Yes I might come here again.

Chicken ogda in the back pot - need to specially request the black pot!
Lissa B.

A Yemeni friend recommended Sheeba and it was amazing!!! The food was incredible, staff very nice, and atmosphere nice. We got the usual favorites: chicken ogda, lamb mandi, maraq soup, salad, fresh lemon juice, fresh bread, and sahawiq sauce. The chicken ogda first came out in just a plate but I asked if it's possible in the black pot and they kindly brought it back simmering in the black pot. The staff were not at all bothered and seemed happy to do this. So nice! Thank you! Overall, just so amazing. Highly recommended to try it! If you aren't sure what to order, you can show my photos to order, seems they don't have a paper menu anyway. It's the best food! Go try it!!

Soup - A ceramic bowl filled with a dark-colored soup or broth, with a spoon resting inside. The bowl is on a wooden table, and part of a white plate is visible in the background. The soup appears to have a small piece of food or garnish floating on the surface.

Came here with friends to have a lunch. There is a decent parking outside so parking was not an issue. We ordered few different dishes so we can get the full experience. Among my favorite choices was their Haneeth. The rice was delicious and their meat was so soft and tender. Their service though needs little attention. We had to ask several times for things that we ordered and they didn't get our order right. Also no one attended our table for a solid 20mins. I hope that changes in the future because the food is really good

Bread and hummus
Vincent L.

Wonderful Arabic (Yemeni) food. Each plate is like two servings so beware. If you like chicken or lamb with rice then this is a good place for you. It is not like other Arabic (Lebanese) restaurants that are very common in Detroit. Try their bread with hummus

Seltah - The image shows a bowl of spicy stew with a reddish broth, containing chunks of meat or vegetables, served in a traditional black stone pot. In the background, there are two small bowls with side dishes, possibly salads or pickles, on a wooden table. The setting appears to be a restaurant, with a casual dining atmosphere.
