    I tried this restaurant several times and it has been great every time. Delicious homemade style dishes. Great friendly service and very clean restaurant with lots of easy parking. Absolutely the best Yemeni Restaurant in the State.

    I had a really good experience here. I went with my brother and we got the meat mandi and fahsah which were both so delicious and full of flavor! It was our first time trying Yemeni food and we absolutely loved it. We also got the lemon and mango juices which were great as well. The server was very friendly and we really liked the decorations in the restaurant. Highly recommend!

    Chicken was so perfectly cooked and seasoned. I really enjoyed it. The server did warn me that the bread didn't go with this meal, because it came with rice. but I really wanted to try the bread. Which was delicious. I ended up not eating the rice, because putting the chicken on the bread and using the sauces that came with the chicken was just too good. I got their house tea and it was really great. This place just opened up, and I highly recommend giving it a go.

    The important part is that the Yemeni food is delicious and the hosts are as welcoming as if they've invited you into their own home kitchen.

Everything has that deep, smoky, grilled taste that makes each bite so satisfying. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food. I tried a variety of dishes, and nothing missed, but the mixed grill plate was the highlight for me. It's the perfect option if you want to sample different meats, and every piece was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly.The space itself is beautiful--very open, clean, and inviting. The music adds to the experience, giving it a great atmosphere without being overwhelming. There's also plenty of parking, which makes visiting super easy

I kept my…read moreexpectations very low when I ate at this place, but the Adana kebab was the worst thing I've ever eaten. There was absolutely no salt, seasoning, or spice in the meat. It was basically cheap minced beef wrapped around kebab skewers. I couldn't finish it, and my stomach isn't feeling great tonight. The service was awful. They basically dropped the food at our table, and no one checked on us to see if we needed anything until it was time to pay. The ladies' restroom was flooded with toilet water, which tells me a lot about their hygiene standards. I had a good experience here a couple of years ago, but I would never eat here again or recommend this place to my friends.

The service here was terrific for us. They even educated us on some of the differences between Pakistani and Indian cuisine. It was a carry-out only for us. The food was hit or miss with me. The Biryani was alright but nothing I would ever order. What I sampled was way too spicy for me and just not my flavour. The kabob were some of the best I've tasted in this city, especially the lamb. Top notch. The Lamb Nihari was very tender, as was the Keema (with peas). The star of the show today was the Haleem. Call it a Pakistani porridge consisting of slow cooked spiced mutton, lentils and barley. A true delicacy! The place is quite pricey, even for the Seattle area. The portions are larger. Just know in advance you might want to share or count on leftovers for tomorrow's lunch! 06/25

We got 2 dishes with spice levels 2 and one with 3 and the difference was just right. Apart from the bread issue, I can recommend this place.

    Stopped here on an impulse. I had a cheeseburger without cheese (my bad, not theirs, I didn't have…read moreany lactaid pills with me).The burger patty itself tastes great. Microscopic amount of ketchup, mayo and Sma5h sauce. (but there was Smas5h sauce on the side and there is ketchup at the table) . I'd prefer cheddar over American cheese anyway. And this was a good opportunity to just taste the beef. Good, caremelized flavor. I might just go cheeseless next time also. Regardless if the scant amount of condiments was intentional or just being cheap, the burger tasted good. Generous portion of fries. Hot and crisp. House seasoning on the fries doesn't add much flavor. Mostly garlic powder? not much salt. I'd actually just prefer plain ol' salt instead of their seasoning. Ordering at the touchscreen is a little confusing. Calling things "extra" implies their is already some on the burger. And if the cheeseburger is the most basic thing on the menu, call that the "simple" burger, not the next one on the menu. The "Simple" burger is a dollar more than the cheeseburger. If you're a newbie, Look at the menu board overhead to figure out what's what and then order with the guy at the counter or use the touchscreen. The menu board is a little bit more clear. First table I sat at was so wobbly I had to move to another one. Windex to clean the tables? Should probably be using quat sanitizer. I wish they had some combo meals as an option. But still, this is a solid "fast casual" smash burger. Better than the big chain restaurants like McDonald's or BK. But you'll spend more.

    This is my 4th time eating here. Their smash burgers really hit the spot. Thin, but still juicy and…read moreflavor. I like the change to the straight fries from the old crinkle they had. Smash sauce is my favorite - creamy with the sweet and little tangy. 1st time for ordering ahead online. Very smooth. I order 1 burger bunless (no lettuce wrap but thats more than okay). Burger was still nicely assembled in a little box and lettuce was beautiful and crisp. I had arrived way earlier than the estimated time. I didn't want to rush anyone so I sat down for a bit without notifying anyone. Cook was kind and asked me if I was waiting for to go order. Both cook and cashier were very nice. Always great food and service
