We tried the chicken mandi, and it was really good — well-seasoned, tender, and served with the right balance of spices and aroma. We also had the shakshuka with breads, and it was outstanding.

A special thank you to Chakira, the bartender, for her outstanding service. She was friendly, professional, and made amazing drinks. Her positive attitude and attention to detail made our visit even more enjoyable.

With all the first day of Eid rush Abood gave us seats right away managing the whole facility with a welcoming attitude. The server Chakira was so nice keeps a big smile on her face. Food was excellent as usual, we had Haneeth which was served so fast with fatoosh and Hummus, meat melts in your mouth.

The rice and lamb was so delicious we couldn’t stop eating it. We were also served complimentary soup at the beginning of our meal which was incredible. I also loved their flat bread. Plus, the interior was beautiful.

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.

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 space is beautiful, everything looks brand new, and it’s perfect for large groups. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. We had the best time and will definitely be back for future celebrations.

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.

Authentic Yemeni restaurant with rich flavors and a warm atmosphere. The food is fresh and full of traditional spices, with good portions and delicious dishes throughout. Honey was especially friendly and accommodating, patiently answering our questions and offering great food recommendations.

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.
