Lately we keep ending up at Yemeni restaurants. We actually went to M'dakhan for lunch, but when we…read morewalked in we were told that there would be a 1 hour wait! Thus, we drove down the street to Shibam instead, which was nice and empty. I believe this is the newer Shibam, as there's another Shibam down the street on Harlem next to Prince Sweets. The parking lot is spacious enough, and the restaurant is located right next to Shibam Market, so you can get groceries afterwards. The interior of Shibam looks okay. The booths are comfortable and spacious, and the restaurant overall is spacious. There's even a small area for prayer space. Like other Yemeni restaurants, they have plastic tablecloths for easy cleanup afterwards. We were given a couple of menus and picked our own booth. We ordered lamb haneeth (rice w/ lamb) and agda chicken (chicken stew w/ veggies); for the latter dish, we selected bread instead of rice. They also served complimentary salad, broth, and some sort of hot sauce. The lamb haneeth was very good, but we noticed the amount of meat was less than a couple other Yemeni restaurants we've tried. Still, it was enough for the three of us. The chicken dish was pretty flavorful and had plenty of veggies, but it was a bony chicken, so we had to pick off the meat. The broth and hot sauce were good. Overall a nice meal. Service was friendly and pricing was reasonable.

The salad and hummus came out within a few minutes and the food itself was actually very good. No water given at this time. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We waited almost an hour for our main entrée, had to ask for the water again, and the Nutella shake we ordered was never served at all. Our server was not attentive throughout the night. One more thing to watch out for -- a 15% tip was automatically added to the bill, so make sure to check before paying. The food was enjoyable, but the poor service really affected the overall experience.

Also she didn't ask if we wanted any dessert. I found better restaurants with much better service in the area that's where I will dine at in the future. Also the waitress didn't offer my guest and I any water or asked us if we'd like any dessert.

Unfortunately, I was really disappointed -- not only with the presentation, but also with the skimpy portions of toppings. The meat and rice tasted like they had been sitting for a while, and I was surprised that I had to pay extra for sauce. I selected feta as one of my toppings, and they literally placed a solid brick of it on top of the bowl. ‍ The other toppings looked like maybe a couple of tablespoons each. The wrap was also served in a floppy tortilla. From what I'm used to, places typically crisp the tortilla slightly in a pan before wrapping it so it has some texture and a little crunch. I'm glad to see that others seem to be enjoying their meals here, but unfortunately this experience just wasn't it for me. I guess I'll have to make the drive to the GOAT -- Sem Sem.

One thing that really stood out to me was that the bathroom actually had hot water. You'd be surprised how many restaurants don't. The gentleman who took my order was friendly, helpful, and gave great recommendations. Great customer service can make a good meal even better. I ordered the chicken biryani, samosas, roti, and lamb saag, and everything was flavorful and well-prepared. Then the owner's son asked us to try a dish he created called **Butter Chicken Fries**. Let me tell you... those fries were absolutely delicious! The combination of crispy fries and rich, flavorful butter chicken was a winner. I would order them again in a heartbeat. This visit was takeout, but after this experience, I'll definitely be dining in next time. Between the cleanliness, friendly service, and amazing food, Samosa King earned a return visit from me. If you're looking for authentic Indian food with a few creative twists, I highly recommend giving Samosa King a try. You might just find your new favorite spot. *Don't leave without trying the Butter Chicken Fries!*

I've been to Frosted Donuts before and didn't notice Shawarma Wrap, so I'm guessing it's somewhat new. The inside is decent looking and has cultural artifacts, similar to other Middle Eastern restaurants I've been to. It feels the part. It's small, and you order and pick up at the counter. No table service or menus. The menu is on a monitor and it was easy enough to read. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and a beef shawarma wrap to go. While waiting for the order, the gentleman making my sandwiches gave me a small cup with lentil soup; that was nice of him, and the soup was pretty good (more lemony/tangy that other lentil soup I've had). The sandwiches were wrapped nicely and they include garlic and tahini sauce. I appreciate that they marked the lids with G and T so customers can tell which is which. Both sandwiches were pretty good. I especially enjoyed the chicken, as it had more flavor than other chicken wraps I've tried and was saucy enough. The beef wrap wasn't bad, but the beef was a bit mushy, similar to over-tenderized meat if you know what I mean. The garlic and tahini sauce were both tasty; I like that the tahini was on the thicker side, whereas most places have a thin, watery tahini. Overall, good sandwiches and service at a fair price.

I think the owner may have been at the door that day and seemed a bit frazzled (understandable). Also, a sign that says please wait here to be seated. When we arrived we didn't know where to stand so we went to the other side of the front desk and were somewhat scolded and redirected to go back around and wait. It was pointed out there was another family waiting to be seated. Hmm. But it was a busy day so we let that go. Fortunately we didn't wait long to be seated. The waiter, although not to experienced, was trying hard and answered all our questions. When we placed our order we were informed several items were not available. Hmmm. It was still early in the day, how do you not have the items. We ordered humus. DELICIOUS!!! Spanish Octopus with white rice, combination plate with lamb, steak and chicken plus the white rice, and finally lamb chops with white rice. Problem the octopus was served first it had superb flavor and not rubbery at all. That was my son's meal. Then about 5 mins later came my meal, the combination which was deliciously seasoned and the chicken was moist!! Finally 5-10 mins later the waiter came and told my daughter that the kitchen failed to tell him there were no lamb chops. So disappointed. They apologize and she ordered the combination plate which came about 10 minutes later. Needless to say my son and I were done with our meal. Problem: initially when we got the hummus we ate it but had to drink water because our drinks didn't come till I got my meal. I reminded the waiter and he explained they had to make the drinks. habiscus water and a mint lemonade. Hmmm Problem: when my son got his octopus, he didn't get a knife and I had to give him my steak knife so he could cut his octopus legs. Finally when we got the bill, we were being charged for the lamb chops!!! Needless to say Al Bahar was recommended by Albawadi Grill waitress. And yes the food is terrific! Even the white rice makes my mouth water. But the service and consistency needs much improvement. Although the waiter apologized, at no time were we offered some type of compensation for all the inconveniences experienced. Not that it's required nor do I expect it but it would've been a nice gesture. The table next to us complained loudly and they were offered free food. We complained subtly and no type of courtesy was extended. Do I recommend. Yes for pick up order the food is scrumptious and No I do not recommend dine in experience. They have much to improve! Goto Al Bawadi instead!! Their food is delicious, the service is very friendly and the humus and fresh made pita unbelievably delicious!
