I'm not too sure about this place. It was decent, but nothing special. I ordered the chicken and lamb kebab combo. There was seasoning, but it wasn't very strong and the flavors were simple and almost on the more bland side. I will say, however, that the serving sizes are huge and very generous. I enjoyed the mango juice and yogurt dip. Both were fresh and yummy! I added the yogurt and cucumber dip to my plate and it elevated it for sure. Service was attentive and the food did come out quick! The restaurant was clean and had a decent amount of space as well. Not sure if I would come here again, but I do love supporting a small business.
Best kabobs! The hummus is incredible. My only complaint about the kabobs is I wish they served more hummus, it's that good. Got the lamb and chicken and they're both cooked to perfection, not dry at all. The falafels were so good and crunchy and same thing not dry at all. We ordered the mango drink but they said it was sold out and they're making more, then they came back and said they have now have more! I was so excited. It was an incredible drinks got a pitcher of it and split it between 3 people and we drank 2 cups each. Service is great!
As part of our diversifying & including international cultures - beyond Japanese - in my Women's Sushi & More group, of which I'm an organizer, I decided to initiate "Food Diplomacy" tonight, per my U.S. Department of State professional experience at U.S. Embassy Majuro, in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, as well as based on my 3-years living in multi-cultural Chicago, IL, 10+ years living inside the Washington, D.C. beltway (the most diverse, educated, and international part of the United States of America), working in New York City, and 5-years living in San Francisco & Silicon Valley, CA. This venue, as such, reminds me of "East West Grill - Arlington," near Clarendon, in Arlington, VA, just outside Washington, D.C., which my Pakistani-American BFF showed me, over 20+ years ago, around 2005, when we met, and where I took my Sierra Leone-American BFF in 2018, given she's also Halal. The customer service was exquisite, and Aqeel made our experience so hospitable! He told me they do not accept reservations, however to call ahead 15-minutes in advance, and later 5-minutes in advance. He ensured we had a table all set-up for our group of 6 women, and was so very attentive with us, ensuring we had everything we needed, while ordering. In my case, I ordered one of the fresh juices - Lemon with Mint - after seeing nearly every delivery order ordering it, and it was superbly delicious! Then I tried the Cucumber & Yogurt, of course, a favorite. I skipped the dolmas, as I was filling up fast! :-) And I ordered their signature dish: "26. Lamb Haneeth حنيذ لحم," which was superb! The lamb was so very tender, juicy, and a delicious taste, and I'm thrilled to have an ample amount remaining, for my lunch tomorrow! Highly recommend!
WHAT A GEM. I'm not just saying this because my sister and I came STARVING, but the food tasted amazing! The lamb was so tender! I had to move my utensils across the table to stop myself from eating too much. Their appetizer sampler was beautiful. The hummus, babaganoush and yogurt & cucumber dips were very good. You could taste all the ingredients well. I cannot rave enough about this place. And the man helping us at the counter, our new habibi, a friend, made the experience more enjoyable.
Absolutely delicious! We ordered the gyro plate, the chicken and lamb kofta plate, and baklava and everything was amazing. The meats were juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. You can really tell they season everything well. The rice was just as impressive super flavorful and not just a plain side. Portions are very generous, definitely enough to leave full (or share). The baklava was the perfect way to finish the meal , beautifully layered, rich, and flavorful without being overly sweet. And the piece was big too! If you're in Aurora and craving Middle eastern food, Yemen Grill is a must-try. We'll definitely be back!
I had been to the other Yemen grill thinking I had signed up for the same quality as the other location. Maybe it was an off night but the food and freshness was as mediocre at best. The lamb sandwich lacked freshness and flavor, my wife's falafel wrap was also far worse than the fresh falafels we had at the other location. The banana strawberry shake at $5.99 was utterly sweet and resembled a Costco fruit smoothie but honestly was even less refreshing. The baba ganoush wasn't fresh a the pita was served on a platter that hadn't been cleaned in multiple uses. I guess the only good thing is that they are open till 11pm. Not sure what went wrong last night. But hope the quality can approve.
Yemen grill lets you watch as they make each of the dishes fresh and hot for each order. I wish you could hear the crunch of each falafel! Hands down you HAVE to order the grape leaves! These are the best and most flavorful, clearly handmade, grape leaves I have had. They carry a bright and salty flavor that had us fighting for the last one! My partner said this was the most moist and flavorful shawarma wrap that he had ever had. They offer delivery and family meals too, that would make a perfect meal prep for a busy week!! The only downfall is that I was sad to see that this location does not have the cafe options like their other location.
Worth ALL the hype and then some!!! Check out their IG page @yemengrilldenver for content and then immediately get to one of their 2 locations because the content does not do it justice! Met the owner on the way in and was greeted by a spacious restaurant with plenty of seating and open assembly of plates being dressed for orders. The menu is vast so we opted for the mixed appetizer, large mixed grill and the mint lemonade so we could sample a variety of items. The appetizer comes out and these falafel are piping hot, fluffy, crunchy and ohhh so freaking amazing.... but then you have options to dip them in. Let me tell you about the garlic dip- perfection sums it up but it is so flavorful and you could literally ward off vampires for a lifetime but dammit I'm still dreaming about it 4 days later. The hummus it so silky and creamy, I had no idea it could be this way lol, the baba ganoush is smoky and full flavored, the tzatziki is fresh, clean and tart. The mixed grill is 4 different kabobs nestled on a bed of the most flavorful mandi rice. Don't know what mandi rice is? GO FIND OUT because you're missing out on the most aromatic rice experience if you don't. And then the meats... they're spiced grilled treats packed full of love. The mint lemonade, yeah go on ahead and get the pitcher because you'll want it and then you'll look up recipes because you'll want it ALL the time. Save room for dessert because they have it and it's fantastic. Will we be back? ABSOLUTELY! Ohh and the rest of the staff, not just the owner are fabulous, personable and had the best suggestions to make sure we rolled out of the restaurant full and happy.
Came in for early dinner. Had a great service. Food was good but a little price, but good portion. . Place was homey, clean Nice place. Will recover.
WOW yum!!! We had the gyro...it was LOADED with meat (lamb). We had the falafel and as a New Yorker who loves the falafel carts... these were better! The falafel balls were chopped and tossed in the lettuce and they were a generous portion of falafel. The strawberry and banana fruit smoothie was fresh and delicious! The baklava was ridiculously delicious. Highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant! Definitely coming back.
Absolutely delicious food and amazing service. The lamb haneeth was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, it literally fell off the bone. The grilled chicken was juicy with a great smoky char, and the rice was fragrant and cooked just right. The hummus and salad were fresh and balanced everything beautifully. On top of the food, the service made the experience even better. Aqeel was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. He took the time to make sure everything was right and made us feel comfortable and appreciated. You can tell he really cares about the customers. Highly recommend this place for authentic, hearty food and warm hospitality. I'll definitely be coming back!
Yemeni cuisine is famous for its rich and meaty flavors. My favorite dish is the Chicken Mandy. Mandy is a dish with chicken, lamb, or beef served over a bed of fragrant rice. The meat is traditionally cooked inside a tandoor or clay oven, or sometimes referred to as buried underground-- which gives it a smoky flavor and most tender, fall off the bone texture. I can guarantee it's cultural authenticity in flavors because I have experienced the real thing in the Middle East, even right down to the interior decor. I also love the fresh mango juice. And it is as mouth-watering as it sounds! Yemen Grill restaurant has been around for many years and the quality of food, produce, and meat, as well as the dining experience has been consistently high. It's a family style restaurant with booths and large sharing tables promoting a more traditional and communal dining experience. This restaurant has become very popular so plan to arrive early, especially when dining in the evening. Orders are made fresh, with generous portions, and are turned out quickly. The grilling station is upfront so you can watch your food getting prepared. Come hungry, and leave happy.
I am so impressed with Yemeni Grill! We ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, shish tawook with rice, lamb haneeth, grape leaves, and a jug of mango juice, everything was absolutely delicious. All the meats were incredibly tender and full of flavor, and the food came out fresh and perfectly seasoned. The stuffed grape leaves were honestly the best I've ever had in a restaurant. Truly outstanding! The service is just as amazing as the food. Aqeel is the best, he greets you like family the moment you walk in, always with a big smile. The hospitality here makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. If you want incredible Middle Eastern food with warm, genuine service, Yemeni Grill is a must try. Highly recommended!

This food was spot on! Flavorful, exciting, and plenty! The owner was cooking and serving, and was very on top of it! We felt at home and comfortable talking and enjoying ourselves. We will return! read more
yummmmm. We pass the other location almost daily and didn't realize this one was so close- but of course it's close to Havana St because that's where all the best food is. ANYWAYS: delicious and easy to eat GF. Love some baba-ganoush but obvi can't have the pita so got the Arabic salad and used the ganoush as my dressing. Entree time: combo chicken and lamb kabobs with rice, hummus and more salad. The husband enjoyed loads of pita and reported it as delicious. Service was SO fast. And even better, everyone that served us was so kind. read more

I can't find anything wrong with this place. The service was friendly and very helpful even though they were busy. The man who waited on our table was so nice and smiley that it put us in a good mood. We got the hummus appetizer which was so yummy. I got the lamb kabob wrap which was so flavorful and amazing! My husband got a lamb dish, where the lamb was so tender it slid right off the bone. The dish had so much flavor. My father in law got the chicken kabob plate which he really enjoyed and said it was enough to feed him for 3 days. So he gets to keep enjoying it. The atmosphere was nice and all the customers seemed happy. As we were finishing up I heard one table mention it was someone's birthday and the friendly waiter immediately brought them some baklava and wished them a happy birthday. We will definitely be going back. read more

We've been wanting to try this place for a bit. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff were welcoming when we first walked in. The lamb tekah was tender and flavoured well. The fries were crispy and generously portioned. We had ordered the falafel appetizer, but it arrived after we were finished with our meal. Those were also cooked well. The cucumber dip was delicious! One thing is the person serving us seemed very much like they didn't want to be there, seemed preoccupied with anything but waiting on the tables. So go, the food is great! Just be aware that it may take a while to actually order it. read more

This restaurant serves amazing middle eastern food might be an understatement. Hence, the reviews averaging 4.5 stars truly reflects accolades many felt when they utilized this business. And I am glad to say that I could add to their raves today. First things first: This place recently moved to (what I would call it) northeast from where it used to be. I had no clue about this so when I showed up to the old location, I freaked out! I immediately had a sign of relief once I got to know that they literally moved across from the street of Havana. When I placed my order, the estimated time of food being ready was anywhere between 5:09pm and 5:20pm. Despite the fact that I first went to their old location, when I arrived at the restaurant at the new location, it was still before the promised time. And yet. my food, to my surprise, had already been ready waiting to be picked up by me. There were two guys upfront. One of them immediately greeted me as I walked up. Service seemed a bit basic and yet there was no rudeness or anything like that. I call it "decent" so hence I could rate that part 3 stars. But what's more important (to me) was the quality of food. I got me the Tabbouleh ($8.49) and Combo Chicken and Lamb Kebab with Rice ($24.49). Whereas the Tabbouleh is/was priced fairly reasonably, I thought the Chicken and Lamb Kebab with Rice was a bit pricy/pricey. Oh well, in this day and age, what can you expect? Cheap quality food is kind of a thing of the past nowadays. I was truly counting on the quality itself. I wasn't disappointed in any way when I started to savor my food. I have had Tabbouleh that was too sour or too lemony but Yemen Grill truly perfected in the Tabbouleh making. Same sentiment goes with the Combo plate. What I was impressed with the most was the Hummus. This was, by far the creamiest hummus I've ever tasted in my entire life. Not that I don't like the taste of garbanzo beans, this hummus didn't taste like garbanzo beans AT ALL. The bed of rice and the two meats (chicken and lamb) were perfectly cooked as well. Let's not forget to mention about restaurant's interior before I conclude this review. It was clean and spacious. Whatever the reason they had to move to this new location, keep up the good work by keeping the place spotlessly clean. As well all know that a any restaurant should have a clean facility, clean utensils, good service but most of all, quality food, this restaurant (as of the writing of this review) checks all the categories. read more

I brought the in-laws here while they were in town and it was no better way to start their trip off right in Denver! The dishes are made to order so everything was fresh, the food was nice and hot, and the portions were huge. We all ended up getting the gyro plate and everything was so well seasoned and flavorful. My husband and I are still talking about this place even a month later so we will definitely be back! read more

Yet another cultural gem on Havana Street. The locally owned and operated Middle Eastern restaurant serves large portions in a comfortably spaced out establishment. We arrived at 11:00am when they opened for lunch. It was slow at first but by the time we left the restaurant was filling up. You won't go home hungry at a place like Yemen Grill. The hardest part is deciding what to order. The menu was much larger than I anticipated. If I was in a bigger group, I'd consider those gigantic platters of food that could feed an army! And what a visual as they get brought out to the table. Baba Ghanouj for the table was a hit. The accompanying pita was really tasty. For mains, we both ordered Kebab Platters. Mine was strictly lamb, with rice, salad, and hummus. Absolutely delicious. The meat had a nice smokey tender flavor to it, it may have been just a tad over done, but I dipped it in hummus and baba ghanouj and it was delightful. Amazing food! Yemeni cuisine has similarities to other cultures that we're accustomed to in mainstream America, but don't be afraid to ask the staff questions or step outside your comfort zone a bit! With that big menu I have a lot more to work through. I'd come back for lunch here in a heartbeat! read more

There are very few things I miss about living in Northern VA and one of them is the food. Specifically, two types of restaurants: Peruvian Chicken and Middle Eastern. There were just so many in VA and unfortunately, not many in the Denver metro. Which is why I'm SO happy Yemen Grill was recommended to me. I've been a couple of times and I just can't get enough! They serve up fresh and authentic Yemeni cuisine where they specialize in perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful meats served with rice and fresh veggies. The first time the Mr and I dined in here he ordered the Lamb Haneeth which is fall-off the bone, INCREDIBLE lamb marinated and slow roasted, served with their traditional rice. The Mr already declared this is what he's getting every time we dine here and I can't say I blame him. I ordered the Combo Tekah Lamb (lamb kebab) and Shish Tawook (marinated chicken) served with their yellow rice. This plate was served with hummus and a tasty, light salad. This meat was seriously SO DANG tender, my mouth is watering writing this review. This is also a great spot to come with a big group which I did another time. They served our delicious food in a big platter which was perfect for sharing. On this visit we had their grilled fish which was a surprise stunner. I can't quite remember what kind of fish it was, but it was incredible. I can't say enough great things about Yemen Grill. Definitely a hidden gem in Aurora that I highly recommend. read more

Honestly, the first time I dined here...I ate the food so fast, it never occurred to me to take photos so, I didn't write a review. This also happened the 2nd & the 3rd time. I finally got my #%¥! together and took photos. So delicious. One platter can feed two adults but, I do recommend sides. read more

I dined here on a Saturday evening while in Aurora. I actually intended to dine at a different restaurant. However, the restaurant I was looked for permanently closed. I switched gears and found this restaurant on Yelp. It came across as very appealing and the reviews were good so I was game! So glad I took a risk and decided to try another different restaurant. Yemen Grill is located in a small plaza. It's right off the main roadway. It sits not far from the corner of Havana St and E Iliff Ave. As you enter, you feel transported to another culture. I loved that there were a group of guys sitting at a long table, eating food and speaking in their native language. When I went to the main counter to order food, the cook didn't speak English. However, there was a nice young man (staff member) who stepped in and took my order. He was sitting at a nearby table taking a meal break. I ordered Baba Ghanouj with Pita Bread as an appetizer. I also ordered Lamb Teka for my main entree. The Baba Ghanouj was sooooo delicious! It's probably the best I ever had. I was very impressed with it. They do not have a soda fountain machine. However, they offer cans of soda and do not overcharge for it like some other places usually do. My main entree was good. However, I felt that the lamb was somewhat dry. The rice was succulent and fragrant. I was very impressed with it! Heads up that you will probably end up taking food home. They are very generous with their portions. Bring an appetite! Hummus is also served with the meal. I liked the hummus as well. I met another waiter while dining this evening. He was young as well but personable. I decided to order dessert as they had a few options I've never had before. I chose the Basbousa. This is a cake that is made with semolina and coconut that is soaked in a sugar-based syrup. The cake was okay. I felt that it was a little dry. I actually didn't finish it. When paying my bill I was impressed that one of the waiters at the register noticed that I didn't finish the cake. He asked if I liked it. I was very honest (politely) about the cake. He ended up not charging me for it. This is a very good business practice as I feel customer satisfaction is important. Overall, I very much enjoyed my visit to Yemen Grill. I will without a doubt return here for the enjoyment of delicious food. I'm also willing to give the Basbousa another shot. I was actually thinking of this place recently. So, it left a good impression upon me! Looking forward to another visit! If you like Middle Eastern food or are curious about it, check them out. I hope that your dining experience will be as memorable as mine was. read more
