Been here a few times. Good food! But went there today and the server/cashier wasn't wearing a mask! There is a sign on the door saying everyone should wear one, but not the staff? Also, between taking our order and serving our order, she was mopping the floor and didn't change her gloves when getting and serving our food....yikes.

yep worth every crispy, mouth watering flavorful bite.

My first time trying this type of middle eastern food. Is it Yemeni? Still unsure honestly, but the service was great because the lady helped me choose knowing that it was my first time. I got the lamb mandi and chicken zurbian. The lamb was very tender, the meat slid off the bones. Chicken zurbian was good too because of the veggies that it came with but I personally thought the lamb was better just because of how tender, fatty, and soft the meat was... yumm. The lamb dish would have been perfect if it came with veggies like the chicken zurbian did. Both came with a side of sauce that seems like it was made with tomato and small pieces of jalapeño. It added a fresh kick to the meat and rice. Next time i order, I would definitely ask for more of this sauce.

What a fantastic restaurant this is! There was eleven Yelp reviews, all very positive. After passing this place to and from work for months and seeing what seems to be a very brisk carryout business, I finally decided to stop and give it a try. So glad I did Inside of the restaurant it was remarkably clean well-lit and most importantly was greeted by a friendly young lady at the cashier counter to take my order. I opted for the Chicken Mandi, which consist of a large 1/2 of chicken very well seasoned and roasted to a beautiful golden brown color Its was laid of top of a bed of great flavored biryoni rice, similar to Indian and or Pakistani style. The chicken was tender and the flavors just bursted in my mouth. The rice was also addicting with so much added flavor from what seemed very complex mix of spices and herbs. Can't wait to try other menu items on what will now be a regular stop.

We must have walked by on previous visits to the neighboring Ban Po Jung thinking it was still the Wok N Chop, but as we drove to the address, we realized that it had changed to the SMH under our noses for months now. Roomy dining area with large south facing windows made the space bright and though relatively busy (no line), their small staff were able to greet us, get us seated, and take orders for multiple tables. Food was prepared quickly and our mutapq ($7) came quickly to the table with its wrap crisp - splurge for the lamb upgrade here for just $1. This is such a great appetizer, you should get it on each visit and easily share. Next we got the megalgal ($7) since breakfast is available all day. Got the chicken version and think it wasn't quite our thing as it's a drier preparation as it is fried. Will give their breakfast entree of liver/hearts/kidney a try on our next visit. We skipped the mandi since we thought the rice dish wouldn't be as unusual, but we'll have to have it for our next visit. Instead we jumped to saltah stew ($10) with chicken which was fantastic. The megalgal and saltah brought a total of two large pieces of fresh baked flat bread which was crisp on the outside with increasing moistness towards the middle.

The food was absolutely delicious. The lamb literally melts in your mouth! I will return.
I saw a review on ABC 7 news one afternoon and said I've got to try this place. The food is absolutely delicious! The lamb melts in your mouth. The portions are huge and large enough for two people. We also had hummus and a house salad with a yogi dressing. Yummy! I will definitely return.

The lamb zurbian is amazing. Very tasty and with lots of flavors. Would definitely love to come back to this place. Yemeni food is amazing.

My bud and I were looking to try a new restaurant on Sunday, so we targeted a relatively new place that served Yemeni food. When we ate our Sunday lunch at Sheeba Mandi House, we happened to be the only customers throughout our stay until we were leaving when some other customers finally came in. The interior is quaint and pleasant with scenic photos on the walls, plus a "wishing well" near the register. We heard about the "Mutapq" appetizer but could not pronounce it, though my bud seemingly did a better job of saying it than I did. Fortunately the menu has pictures so you can easily point to the food items. Definitely order the Mutapq - it is sort of like a quesadilla and is absolutely delicious. We went with the beef filling, and other options are lamb or chicken. For lunch I ordered the lamb mandi. I imagine you can do well with about any of their dishes, as many of these Yemeni options seem similar to this untrained eye. Lamb mandi is a traditional rice dish, and it is a flavor bomb of tender lamb pieces mixed in with the rice, and sided with onion and a wedge of lemon. The lamb is fatty and is bone-in so you need to pay attention while eating, but the lamb mandi is scrumptious and yes I am looking forward to eating the leftover portion. Any dish with the lamb option will be several dollars pricier than other proteins, such as my bud's Chicken zurbian. He said his dish was spicy, so he did not need the side of salsa-like sauce at all. Sheeba Mandi House features weekday lunch specials, and free parking in the strip mall. This is terrific no-frills dining, with fairly quick service. If you have not tried Yemeni food, run to this place (with the easy to remember address of 3456 West Foster) and prepare for your taste buds to be wowed.
