I've been coming to Caffe Yemen for quite a while, and my visit on June 20, 2026 was probably my…read morebest experience yet. I was watching FIFA soccer world cup match there between Germany and Cote d'Ivoire I originally went there hoping to have the Lamb Shank Mandi, but it wasn't ready at the time. The owner personally prepared a regular Lamb Mandi for me, and I can honestly say it was one of the best dishes I've had. The lamb was incredibly tender, warm, and practically melted in my mouth. The rice was fresh, fragrant, and tasted like it had just come out of the pot. Just look at the picture! Over the years, I've tried many Yemeni dishes, including Mandi, Kabsa, and Haneeth, and this place is definitely one of the best spots for Mandi in the area. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and the hospitality is outstanding. My family and I first visited after reading positive reviews, and we've kept coming back ever since. We especially enjoyed both the Lamb Shank Mandi and the Lamb Mandi. Everything was delicious. I would love to see more traditional options such as Lamb Kabsa and Lamb Haneeth added to the menu in the future. If you're in the Renton area and enjoy Yemeni cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Great food, friendly service, and a wonderful dining experience every time.

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.

I came here for lunch. I was looking for Persian food and found this place on Google Maps. The…read morepictures looked kind of similar to Iranian food, so I decided to give it a try. My husband and I ordered a few dishes. The ingredients seemed decent, but the rice had no salt at all, and the kebab wasn't tasty. The garnish on the plate wasn't prepared well either big chunks of onion, cucumber, and tomato, not nicely cut. The stew also didn't have much flavor and wasn't good. Honestly, when food isn't seasoned properly from the start, adding salt later doesn't fix it. We didn't enjoy our meal. Also, we tried calling the servers (both the guy and the lady), but they didn't respond. In the end, my husband had to get up and ask for bread. They still forgot, and near the end of our meal the waitress walked by and said, Oh, you wanted bread?

We hired Naan N Curry to cater food for a wedding and the food was good. In the months leading up…read moreto the wedding, we liked and trusted the owner, and paid him to provide water dispensers for all our guests, because the venue did not have any. Naan N Curry also stated they would make a plan to get leftover food to our guests. The day of the wedding, less guests arrived than were anticipated. Despite having paid for food in anticipation of 240 people, perhaps closer to 160 showed up. Around 9pm, the caterers left without communicating with us; no food nor water remained, and the plates, silverware, and cups that we had purchased and brought to the venue ourselves, were no where to be found. That Naan N Curry took the water when they left created a near-crisis situation, because it left us with with only a water fountain to hydrate 160 thirsty guests. While we understand they were required to work within contracted hours, we cannot grasp why they took our 300 cups which we could have used to mitigate the water problem. Their failure to communicate their departure prevented us from addressing the water issue proactively. Additionally, we did not understand why there was no food left if we had ordered food estimated for 240 people, and only 160 showed up. After the wedding, we followed up with the owner of Naan N Curry and visited the restaurant to recover the plateware, napkins, cups, and utensils which were intended for our wedding. When asked about the missing food and water, he provided a several explanations: 1) that he had not taken any food back and there was none left; 2) that he had communicated with our families about leftover food when leaving; 3) that guests took 3-4 plates and ate all the food, despite the lesser guest count; 4) that a worker hired by me had thrown food out; and 5) that guests had taken food home, despite the fact that no takeout containers were provided to take food home in. While we are trusting in nature, I am an investigator by profession, so I followed up for testimonies from our guests. My inquiries with more than a dozen guests and workers found that: 1. Workers and guests deny eating or seeing any others eat 3-4 plates; some state that they were turned away from having seconds. 2. Workers and guests became aware that Naan N Curry had leftover food, including "in the back," close to their time of departure 3. Workers and guests attest to Naan N Curry packaging up leftover food and bringing it back to their van 4. Workers and guests deny throwing out any trays of the food at any time. 5. Workers and guests deny taking or seeing others take food home 6. Workers and guests deny that Naan n Curry informed anyone of their departure, and that they only became aware of the water situation after they had left us with no water and no cups. The issue here is one of principle: We paid for food for 240 people, and offered the Owner the opportunity to explain how there could possibly be no leftovers, when merely 160 people showed up. However, he could not articulate a credible reason. As a caterer of 20+ years, his assertion that the food purchased was only sufficient for merely two thirds of the anticipated guests, cannot be believed, unless he were inept. I don't believe he is inept, and I believe his explanations are disingenuous. At best, the water issue is an enormous oversight, and at worse, negligence. We never were given an explanation why Naan N Curry took our plateware, cups, and utensils. We are aware that his crew also took another vendor's table clothes. We have been allowed to recover our goods post-wedding, though the question remains why did he take these items in the first place? When we confronted the owner about the above issues, he blamed our friends, our workers, and us. We had liked him quite a bit, and found him to be paternal and kind, so this was all upsetting. Perhaps even an apology or honest discussion would have sufficed to settle the score. However, after all this, we can only conclude that we've been ripped off for thousands of dollars.

The cashier seemed to have difficulty understanding the order from the beginning, which made the process a little frustrating.

I paid the difference, no problem. The Olive Tree fries were delicious, and once I received the lamb kebabs, they were excellent juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the food itself, but the customer service experience made the visit less enjoyable. Hopefully, they can improve communication and how they handle customer feedback because the food has potential.

Walking in, you don't get the Lebanese food aroma or feel. Already I was considering to turn back and leave but I had to commit and not judge by looks. I ordered the shish tawook and tabouli and was very disappointed. As someone familiar with Lebanese food, this was nowhere close to authentic. The flavors were bland, rice is not how it's done in Lebanon (yellow basmati?), the tabouli was underwhelming and dry (Lebanese do not add quinoa either to it), and the portions were surprisingly small for the high prices.
