“If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. I first found this restaurant about a year ago when my boyfriend and I happened to pass by and decided to give it a try. I still remember the first time they brought out the soup with chopped onions on the side. I was honestly shocked by how good it was. That soup immediately became one of those flavors I knew I would never forget. I loved the food so much that I came back again with a friend, and then came back a third time before I eventually left Cleveland. I’ve been living away from Cleveland for more than a year, and recently I drove back from Chicago because I’ll be staying here for the next two months. When I thought about where I wanted to eat first, this restaurant was immediately at the top of my list. I literally drove about 40 minutes just to come here. At first I was a little confused because the restaurant has a different name now. I only found it again because I had previously shared the address with my friend. When I walked inside and saw the restaurant, I immediately recognized it and thought, “YES, this is the place!” And somehow, after all this time, the food is STILL just as amazing as I remembered. The lamb and rice are incredible. The fish is something I order almost every single time. And the HUGE fresh bread is unbelievably good — seriously, you HAVE to eat it right after it comes out while it’s still hot and fresh. It is absolutely amazing. And then there is the soup. I genuinely think I will remember that soup for the rest of my life. I have tried other Yemeni restaurants while I was away, but nothing has ever tasted quite as good as this place. Because I lived far away for so long, I couldn’t come here often, but I never forgot the flavor. I would actually think about this food from time to time while I was gone. Finding this restaurant again after more than a year honestly made me so happy. Same owner, same incredible food, and still one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Cleveland. 100000/10. Completely worth the 40-minute drive, and I will definitely be coming back again while I’m here. ❤”
