Stepping into this restaurant, I was expecting a traditional sit-down experience. However, the atmosphere felt more akin to a takeaway joint, despite the presence of a dining area. The customer service left a lot to be desired - missing that warm welcome and cordial interaction typically associated with a dining experience. It felt more like a transactional exchange, which was a bit disappointing. My advice to the owner would be to invest some time and effort into refining their team’s interpersonal skills. The quality of the food you serve deserves to be complemented by excellent customer service.nnAs for the food itself, I ordered a single lamb plate with rice. It was a rather straightforward dish with no accompanying sides, which could be a letdown for some. However, the portion of meat was generous and could comfortably satisfy one person. The food was well-cooked and served warm, much to my satisfaction. All things considered, I would rate the overall experience a solid 7 out of 10.

If you haven’t been here what are you doing.nI have zero comments, this place does meat and food justice. I recommend this place to all my halal foodies and non-halal foodies. The chicken mandi is good, but go for the LAMB MANDI. Place is always clean, fun and quick. 9.8/10

The food is superb here. The price for the quality and portion you get is insane. Their prices start from less than $5 for their wraps! I highly recommend the place. We loved each and every dish we ordered. Nevertheless, the chairs need to get updated.nTheir meat dish (SINGLE LAMB MANDI) and liver plate (KIBDDA QOLABA) was our favorite.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST YEMENI CUISINE RESTAURANTS I'VE EVER ATE. I ATE THEIR FOOD MANY TIMES, BUT YESTERDAY'S EXPERIENCE WAS DIFFERENT. THE EMPLOYEES CUSTOMER SERVICE IS 5 STARS, SINCE THEY KEEP ASKING IF YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE, LET THEM KNOW. SO KIND OF THEM TO ASK LIKE THAT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. FOOD IS ALSO 5 STARS WORTH, BECAUSE IT WAS TASTY. ATMOSPHERE WAS ALSO WORTH 5 STARS, SINCE THERE WAS NO REASON I COULD ONLY GIVE 4 STARS. I HAD THE WHOLE FOOD WITH STRAWBERRY BARBICAN. ALSO, A 500 ML WATER BOTTLE HERE IS ONLY $1 WITHOUT TAXES. HIGHLY RECOMMEND RESTAURANT

Excellent mandi, very authentic and almost identical to the ones you can get in Saudi Arabia. The chicken was perfectly cooked and was some of the softest I've eaten. I will never forget this experience.
