Very chill & friendly atmosphere. The lamb gyro and lamb kabob sandwich was absolutely delicious! I recommend the spicy sauce on the side for dipping!

Loved the tea. Loved the seasoning on each dish. The bone broth was delicious and our server was attentive.

Recently stopped in, was curious at the new signage after shopping at Stone Market. Had a lovely vegan meal, worth it to stop by just for the salad.

I went with friends who love this place, and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent and fast. Disclaimer, I am definitely not an expert in this type of cuisine. Since I wasn't familiar with many of the dishes, I looked several of them up before I went and chose the main part of the meal from that. I had the lamb broth to start, baba ghanoush, flatbread, and the lamb fahsah. The first course, the broth, was excellent, but every time I received the next item,I loved that even more! As a bonus, the prices are very good, and the portions are large. i'm eating round two as I write this. It is an extremely casual place, which worked out perfectly for me last night. I will definitely be back.

The food was beyond amazing, I can come back over and over and over again. Service was unique. I just didn’t like the music atmosphere too loud and there is just no need for music when eating.

This place has now morphed to one of three (that I know of) Yemeni Restaurants in Memphis area. That is a glorious change to the constantly evolving global food scene in Memphis. Let's celebrate these owners and chefs bringing us their delectable cuisines! The place seems to be undergoing some renovation and format changes. Perhaps, addition of hookah floors on one side? Young lady was running the front of the house. If you are coming for the first-time and have little to no knowledge of Yemeni food, I recommend doing some initial research. They have a lot of items, but the menu is of little help. Young lady has some understanding of the food, but also had a hard time articulating the key differences and uniqueness of the dishes. For appetizers, we ordered the falafel with hummus. We were initially served a lamb broth - outstanding flavor. Would be amazing on a fall or winter day! While flavor was great, we felt the Falafel are maybe pre-made with half the portion still with a frozen core. Mains we had the Fish Fahsah, Chicken w/Molokhya, and the Lamb Haneeth. The fish is served in a clay bowl, that's piping hot. Think tuna salad texture in a tomato-peppers base. Great stuff. The molokhya is a leafy green - think collard greens but chopped very fine, and with a slight slimy texture. The dish was great, and I would put it into the adventurous category if one is willing to go past the texture. The haneeth was standard - served with some great rice. All in all, it was a good experience and recommend as a place to expand your Northern African culinary horizons!!
We found this place when we set out to find somewhere interesting to eat on Summer Ave. We ordered hummus and mixed grill. The hummus arrived with freshly cooked flatbread, still hot from the oven. Hummus itself was great; with puréed chickpeas with puddles of olive oil. The mixed grill was a feast of grilled lamb chops, chicken & lamb kebab seasoned well and with a hint of char from the grill. It came with a huge platter of aromatic rice infused with spices. The space itself is unremarkable & it seemed like more of a carryout place. But, the food is spectacular. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed this our first time- this time it was not eatable at all's. Zero flavor- Biryani only thing good was chicken was tender -but flavorless. Don't think will be going again.

Have had the $4.99 lunch "sandwich" special twice. Shawarma and the gyros. Both were excellent and well worth the $4.99!! Recommend asking for extra "white" sauce. Usually request Tzatziki sauce with gyros but that request elicited a puzzled look, but the white sauce is excellent. Highly recommend this place. Both times I was the only customer so it would be nice if more people frequented the place. Oddly, saw a new take-out menu where the address is the same but name appears to now be "Arsh Bilqes" - a strange name but actually describes the Throne of the Queen of Sheba archaeological site in Ma'rib, Yemen. Everything appears to be the same menu wise but with higher prices - understandable given the challenges facing restaurants now. HOWEVER, as of 09-15-21, Owner Mohammed only charged me the lunch price still listed on the window and on the older menu: $4.99!!
