Just paid $65 for food that was worth $30! If I had known, I definitely would have went somewhere else. The only tasteful item was the lamp chop, and even then, it was pretty dry. I added rice to my shwarma, but they didn't add the pickle or garlic in it! And that was the one item that I thought could not be messed up. The food was definitely horrible; I threw it away and gave the lamp chops to my dog. At least they were suitable for her. Definitely not ordering from here anymore.
This place is one of my mothers favorite restaurants to go to down in Yemen Town. The restaurant uses such good seasoning and spices and gives a perfect portion size for reasonable prices! The even have free hot tea that tastes fantastic and has a really authentic taste. I ordered the Lamb Haneeth and it was some of the most tender and tasty lamb that I have had in a long time. It came with a garlic sauce and a bowl of chopped chilies that was almost like a spicy salsa and some bread. It was a fantastic experience. The service is friendly and fast, I had nothing but praises to give to the young brothers working that restaurant and keeping it running well. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back!
Yemen cafe was ok! The deboned chicken, lamb chops, rice and taboulli salad were pretty good. The bread tasted off, and the grape leaves were soggy. The portion size to price was not comparable. The employees were polite. Our waiter was not attentive at all. However, the kid who was cleaning the tables was. So we split the tip between the two! I appreciate that they are open late, as 97% of restaurants were closed by 11 p.m. We came to Yemen around 12 a.m., and the food was still made fresh.
