Had a great dining experience at Taste of Yemen in Calgary. The food had excellent flavor and tasted very authentic, which made the meal especially enjoyable. We tried the chicken mandi, and it was really good — well-seasoned, tender, and served with the right balance of spices and aroma. The dish was comforting, filling, and clearly prepared with care.We also had the shakshuka with breads, and it was outstanding. The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the breads paired perfectly with the dish. It was one of the highlights of the meal and something I would definitely recommend. Overall, every item we tried was delicious and reflected good quality.The restaurant offered a pleasant dining experience with food that felt fresh and satisfying. It is always nice to find a place where the tast

Taste of Yemen: great food, atmosphere and service. We came in and was seated right away. Got complimentary soup and flavor was amazing. The food portion size is huge and great for sharing. All the food we ordered (chicken akhdal, chicken mandi, etc.) was amazing and so much flavor profile. Fasha was the star of the show. So much food and enough for leftovers. Highly recommend it.

Full marks start to finish! We had a Yemeni beef stew called fahsa that is just epically rich in flavour with meltingly tender beef, and the Yemeni bread (very similar to naan) to accompany it was spectacular.

The place was welcoming and not too noisy, which made it perfect for a relaxed meal. We ordered the Haneeth lamb, which came with rice and flavorful spices—the lamb was cooked to perfection. We also ordered the Madby chicken; it was savory, tender, and the rice had a wonderful smoky flavor.

Make a reservation online if you plan on coming as they get very busy. The food was delicious, meat was flavourful and tender and portions were large. Despite being so busy, our server Fatima was very kind and sweet.
