Reviews
I’m reviewing this incredibly late, but this place is wonderful for many reasons. The food is excellent enough to appease even the pickiest of parents and kids. My parents pretty much only enjoy home cooked meals but they loved this place and made plans to go back the week after. I will bring all my friends and family here for a good traditional meal

This is really authentic Yemeni food. Went to this restaurant with a huge group of people and ordered lots of dishes. Everything was cooked properly and the ingredients used tasted fresh. I highly recommend giving this place a try as the variety of food tasted really well. The best thing that I loved was the fresh and hot bread!

Amazing food. Personal favorite is chicken mandi, it’s always very fresh and tender. The haneeth is also very good. Easily one of the best tasting middle eastern restaurants in Fairfax

Visiting from Florida and this was my first time at a Yemeni restaurant. It was worth it and yes I will for sure come again. Even my kids loved it and they are picky when it comes to food. We ordered the following Haneeth, chicken Mandi and Fahd. Waiting for dessert now we ordered Bint As-sahn
