Stopped in for a quick lunch and was graced by the tender bliss that is chicken kabsah. The intensity of spice was enough to leave me both surprised and humored. Will recommend to a friend. 👌 And will be back to try the baklava. 😋 …

It was my first time trying Yemeni food and I LOVED IT. My friend and I had the roasted lamb and the saltah - both dishes were 10/10. The chef was really welcoming and friendly too! Will definitely go back ⭐️

We ordered take out and delivery multiple times from this place and it always delivered satisfactorily. We tried roasted lamb and roasted chicken with rice and they are really delicious and well done. The lamb would melt in your mouth. All meat are halal

One of my favorite spots in SF. Excellent traditional food and prices, especially for lunch time before 3pm. We usually get one roasted lamb dish which is enough for two people. Also the Chai is made to order, and still only $2. …

I called today instead of ordering thru doordash so they can make more money. I ordered a fatoush salad with grilled chicken and a baklava everything totalling $20. This small salad only contained 3 pieces of chicken. I was constantly ordering from this place a lot. This is the last time, never again.

Food was very good. If you haven't had Yemeni food, it's time to give it a try. Different from other Middle Eastern restaurants. Tawa bread is amazing. Lots of meat dishes. Big platters of rice and chicken lamb or beef. Beef stew called …
