If you have never tried yemenie food you won't go wrong and don't forget to ask for their specialty bread. The most popular dish is called Fahsa which is a stew cooked in a clay pot that is sizzling when served and it comes with the specialty bread. ”
“ One of my favorite restaurants for our men's day out We ate a goat The meal is called "Heneez" The order needs to be made a day in advance because they cook it for 5-6 hours! It comes served on seasoned rice and with amazing salads. We followed that by free black tea with fresh mint leaves (unlimited serving). Then we ended the night with fresh lemonade on ice This restaurant is a hidden gem! ”
“ I recently dined at Sheba and was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service! Our server, Ibrahim, was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious, but the service truly made our experience special. ”
“ My Friday spot and i like bringing out of town guests here as well. Great place for brunch time Althea way to dinner time. Great traditional Yemeni food and environment. There's quite a few Yemeni restaurants, coffee shops, and clothing stores opening up in the Bay Area, but it's the food that attracts me the most. ”
“ This is a place where the ambiance doesn't exactly matter - the food and service are great ! When you go here - please try to go during breakfast time and ask for the most ordered breakfast item - you will not be disappointed! The food has so much flavor and is not over the top with spices either !! ”
“ The menu is a bit overwhelming as the pictures and descriptions are a bit difficult to understand. But the staff is really sweet and helpful. The location itself is nice, clean but it is in a 'not-so-decent neighborhood'. There's plenty of street parking, so be prepared to spend minimal time outside. They serve a broth-soup as you sit down which is really nice. We ordered the platter with a combination of beef, chicken and lamb. The food was amazing and well seasoned. The rice had a bunch of spices and herbs so it was really fragrant and tasty. The platter says it's for 4ppl, but we shared it between 5 and had plenty of leftovers. 5 stars for service, food, portion and pricing. Taking 1-star off because of the location/safety outside. ”
