This is that type of 10/10 hole in the wall restaurant. It’s not in the best neighborhood, but the quality of the food is much better than most established middle eastern restaurants, and you can tell the food is made with love. Plus, Yemeni cuisine is also super unique compare to other middle easte
Fantastic hole in the wall spot. Humble and delicious. The man goes out of his way to make this little shop a great dining experience. Roasted lamb was flavourful and incredibly tender, almost like butter. Rice was fragrant and flavorful. Fava beans were a standout, especially accompanied by the Yem
This place is such a hidden gem and deserves more recognition!
The roasted lamb dish is a MUST TRY. Every piece was succulent and flavorful, and I loved that it came with pita bread, a spicy sauce, rice, salad, and a veggie stew. I will for sure return to try the lamb soup!
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 Saltah. Seating for about 8 people, also good for carryout. No
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. 😋
Perfectly cooked delicious food.
It might not be noticeable and it lies in a weird neighborhood with too many homeless and junkies around, but the owner made sure no one of them entered and definitely very delicious well cooked food.
I'd definitely love to eat their again
I would give 10 stars if I could! This humble little place is rich in flavor and hospitality. Servings are generous. The person at the front desk was welcoming and friendly, and fun to talk to. I’m vegetarian, but my partner ordered the roast lamb (they definitely recommend it) which came with the m
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.
Hope they get to expand one day and bring their dishes to a wider audi
I went for walk in search of middle eastern food and found this place and was surprised with this hole in wall place.
The restaurant is very small and not a sit down restaurant kinda place and more like Togo place but have to tell the food here is really tasty.
I was really surprised with the tast
The food here is delicious, like home cooked. The service is amazing! Uber eats messed up my order, so the owner delivered the correct food to me across town. My favorites are half chicken, which is thigh and leg, and hummus. The masoob is incredible. The portions are large for the price.
I can't say much but just glad we've found this place . Soooo good , authentic, owner super nice. We came early and decided to wait . He gave us freshly made hummus and Nan bread , the bessssssttt hummus. We finished everything. I also bring some of his baklava , a bit sweet but still best one I had
The food is absolutely incredible. The service is also excellent and kind. I was looking for Yemeni food in the Bay Area and this is top-of-the-line. There’s a warm relaxing feeling when you’re eating your meal here.
What a beautiful whole in the wall kind of spot in downtown San Francisco. We ordered roasted lamb, chicken and lamb kabsa. They were all delicious. Would definitely love to come back.
This is an absolute gem. I came in late in the evening before they were about to close. I asked what was good on the menu and was told to have the lamb.
Lamb normally takes a long time to order at other restaurants, but the service was extremely quick.
When Mahmoud first brought out the dish I was
Authentic, delicious Yemeni food prepared with care. Homely decor with photos of the owner's football teams, and yellowed newspaper clippings. Eat here and you will not complain. I got the lunch special Roasted Lamb.
Such an awesome restaurant. Honestly wish I could come here more often. It's a locally owned place with original recipes. The food is delicious and unique. The Tea is phenomenal. I had the falafel plate which was filling and so tasty. The sauce is full of flavor . Cozy spot worth the walk.
Went here last night before the show at the Warfield. Ordered the Chicken Kabsah. The gentleman asked "do you want it spicy?" I told him "oh gosh, I'm a weenie" (its true, I have a pretty intense sensitivity to capsaicin i wish I didnt have). It was delicious. Perfect. The kabsah was SPICED - as in
best jemenian food since I was last time in Jemen 35 years ago
