MONASABA Yemeni Cuisine

Excellent meal at a reasonable cost. This location was a hidden gem, overlooked by many who didn't realize its true value. I'm hoping they reopen.

I just need these guys to expand quicker and become worldwide chain. I day dream about their food all the time. Tried their food in 3 different years during my visit, I’m from London. I’ve had their food late evening and early afternoon. You just can’t compete with these people quality.God bless y’allPlease extend your opening hours!!!

Is there any update on reopening status?

It is very sad to see that such a nice place with authentic food closes. Hope you can open back soon.

We loved this place. The food was always at its best . I hope that they open to business again .

Excellent restaurant with great food. Not sure why showing temporarily closed. Please let me know when will you be relocating. And are you still taking catering orders.

The Mandi dish that Monasaba serves is one of the most delicious meals I’ve eaten —and I’m a foodie who’s been to countless restaurants. The chicken is super tender, moist, flavorful, and melts in your mouth. The rice is aromatic with a very pleasant mix of spices. It’s Basmati and each grain stands separate from others; there’s no meshing or blending between the grains, which tells you it’s very fresh. The almond, raisin, and onion garnish when mixed in with the rice makes the eating experience that much fun. The onion is sautéed slowly to a caramelized perfection. There’s no extra brown or bitter taste. Even though it’s a long drive from me, I’ve been visiting this place frequently since I discovered.

The place is very neat and clean, and works for families as well. The service is very fast and the staff is friendly and professinal.

Sadly it’s temporarily closed. The sign at the door says they’re relocating. The location is aloof from most popular spots where the community that seeks that food usually congregates. So I agree with the move. I just hope they re-open and and add more relocations.

Great service food, I hope they open up again .

It’s was really original Yemeni test 😋😋😋

Just recently tried this place with my husband. The food was absolutely delicious. The lamb qolaba still has my mouth watering. The dishes are flavorful. I recommend getting a few to share so you can enjoy a bit of everything. I’m so glad this place is here!

Omg ? best delicious food, tender beef, chicken oh, rice with nuts, and the Yemeni bread! Smart, and friendly staff. Keep up the great work ??Thank you ?? forgot to mention, great ambience and interior design ?

The best food in orange county, i love the rise and chicken. It was so delicious with reasonable price. I am kind of a little disappoint when they close for temporary. I wish you location would be on Brookhurst where the place is busy so that you can get more costumer.....i keep checking when it will be open again.

Very nice and clean restaurant. Staff were so kind and food was really good.
