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 ⭐️

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.
