Staying at a local hotel we found Mendi House nearby and wanted to try Yemen food! Wow! This was good. Got a few looks sitting down but always open for new culture food so we got a booth. Got some water to drink and thought we'd look at the menu which really didn't know what we were looking at. Super nice waitress and friendly staff, decided to ask what do we get! So we started with some hummus and bread, not sure what to call it, then decided on a meat platter that had lamb beef, chicken, satay rice this was really good! I'm sure I'm not doing it adjusted by not calling everything the right thing, but we did start with a lamb broth that was out of this world! Everything had flavor, the dips and relish's were yogurt and then very spicy peppers and I loved it. We couldn't stay long and had to leave couldn't eat everything and wish we could've taken it with us but good food. Good service you need to come try this out.!!! highly recommend!!! read more

Not Haneeth House anymore, maybe owner change, it is call Mendi House. Interior look the same but sign and name definitely different. If you want Yemeni food in metro Detroit, Sheeba or Yemen cafe is the most well known. But I want to give other Yemeni restaurant a try. Everything looks good, big portion, hot and fresh once it arrive. Haneeth, or other meat dish probably need more seasoning or spice. Kinda bland compare to Sheeba or Yemen Cafe. Strange thing is that if you order coffee or tea, you have to pay a different tab, because their cafe use a different account. read more

One of the best place to go for Middle Eastern foods. Definitely with the drive. The ambiance feels like you are Aladdin with Princess Jasmine. Service was beyond compared read more

Yemeni Brakefast! More like a brunch. As a vegetarian, Almost all the time I go to a Yemeni restaurant I order from the brakefast. I have been to few others locally. I found haneeth house to be little bit better and cleaner. The service was fast and friendly and the food was fresh. My favorite here so far. Fassolia - kidney beans cooked Yemeni style . Very good vegetarian option. Foowl- this is more of a thick curry kind of consistency. With their Tanoor bread. (It's very close to Indian tandoori Naan) They have a lot of egg options again from brakefast. Will be back to try them. This place is huge.. plenty of parking in front. read more

It's pure madness after work to park if it's busy at Papaya down the street. Seems always to be so busy there all of the time. I have mixed feelings about this place being where it is, because it took over one of my favorite Lebanese spots here on warren at Chase. However, I do really like Yemeni food and that's what's been here since last November. I got some carry out order. I got the chicken Fahsa, large and spicy and a large Mushakkal. I skipped the bread since it's extra and I don't prefer to eat it anyways. Seems rather cheap of them to not even give us the store bought bread when I spent over $34 for my carry out food. I also got a large house salad. The fatoosh is the house with pita chips. Once again it concerns me that they are in such a big place. I hope they are busy at lunch and after I leave. They're only two tables full while I was here. The guy that took my order said it shouldn't be long. It took about 20 minutes. Let's see how the food is, hoping it's outstanding, since I generally like and Yemeni food to be really savory and yummy. This parking lot and shopping center is an absolute zoo. It is an absolute pain to get in and out of this lot. It's after 6:30 PM. There was a line to get in the parking lot from the street when I came in at 6 PM. It was just as frustrating getting out of the parking lot as it was to get in. This is the first time I've come here after work and after 6 PM. I've only been in the parking lot at lunchtime before and it's never as crazy busy as it is after work hours. The chicken Fahsa and the Mushakkal were somewhat wrapped. They did put cellophane around it, but it still leaked out a bit. There's a lot of juice in both dishes. The salad container was packed full and had two dressings. I was happy to give me extra dressing, especially since I give you a lot of lettuce. It is mostly iceberg lettuce, some parsley, English cucumbers and tomatoes. The dressing was in bed and the salad was OK. The chicken Fahsa tasted good, they gave me a side of the hot salsa to add to it, as it's not I see it all. I did get a couple small pieces of bone in my first two bites, I'm treading lightly and carefully with every bite. I don't want to lose her crackin i'm treading lightly and carefully with every bite. I don't want chip or crack any teeth. Found a longer piece of bone and then a slightly bigger piece I'd bone and then several pieces of cartilage and chunks of gristle as I ate further into the stew. I felt like an archeologist finding so many fragments of bone in this stew. Do they butcher the chicken and toss it into the stew? Not cool. I could have easily chipped 4-5 of my teeth by now. Take a bit more care in preparing your meat before it goes into the stew. Don't haphazardly toss meat and bones into a dish. The Mushakkal tastes quite good and is packed with a lot of good vegetables. Both of the dishes are quite savory and delicious, minus the fragments of bone in my chicken fahsa. The hot salsa is good. I could eat it by itself or with some nacho chips. read more

I found Haneeth House based on the Yelp reviews and a coupon that they ended up not taking. Probably my own fault because I dont eat rice and other carbs, but I ordered the lamb plate at the servers suggestion. The lamb was falling off the bone but was a little bland for me, but I like my food HOT and SPICY. That's not what I got. It was my first time trying Yemeni food and I think I was also expecting something more like Lebanese food. Overall, the service was good, the food was good (just bland for my taste), I ordered a salad - that was good and tasty. I would go back to give it another chance if I was back in town, but there are tons of middle eastern food places to try, so it may be a while. I also noticed, while Im thinking about it, that they added a $3 (over 10%) gratuity to the bill. Maybe they thought I would miss it and that I would add a full additional tip to the bill. That was ok, I added some more money to the tip (only $2) because the food and service was good. I usually would not do that - kinda irritates me when people decide to add their own tip. Jeez, I shouldn't have thought about it, kinda irritated now. Oh well. read more

Their lamb haneeth is amazing. It's fall of the bone meat that has just the right amount of flavor. If you want haneeth go to this place. I wouldn't recommend any other dishes besides their speciality tho. The usually kabobs and stuff aren't that great. The service is fast and good and the atmosphere is nice. read more

This restaurant changed to Mandi House. Food was not good and the service was very bad. waiter got the main dishes first, then the Salad and the fries in the end. on top of that, they charge for glass of normal water. Expensive too. Not recommended. read more

Waitress was weak with poor service Fahsa was below average..too spicy Menu was outdated and did not have the food it contained Food was meh I've had better Yemeni food in my life read more

This was our first time to Haneeth House and we were pleasantly surprised. We generally like Lebanese food more so than Yemeni, and luckily they have both. We had the creamy, garlic chicken and the boneless BBQ and both were very good. We ordered Fattoush salads as our sides and probably would go with the soup next time. The salads were large but just not as good as you get at most other Mediterranean restaurants. The rice is excellent. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinners and the service was excellent as well. Nice place. read more

The Food was fantastic and spicy good. My daughter hates that so she ordered chicken nuggets, plain rice and bread Ok, she had to eat that! Luckily I got to eat tasty dishes such as haneeth, shafoot, salta and fahsa. I really enjoyed the food here. Not so much the ambience. Haneeth is in the old Ajami restaurant and they didn't do much to the interior to make the space their own. At least not yet. I would love if they draped some fabrics from the ceiling to give a khaimah (tent) feel! (hint hint) Anyway, the food was great, but that's not the only part of a dining experience. We sat at one of the booths that are up on the platform that goes around the perimeter of the dining room. It's about 6" higher than the rest of the dining area. But whomever installed that didn't properly support the floor and it's just not solid; the incredible vibrations when the staff or customers pass your table makes everything on the table vibrate. Additionally, the booths are half circles and cozy, but each sectional is made of two cushions, so if four people are at the booth, two of those people share a cushion. This is important because every single move you make is shared with the person on your cushion. And maybe this is understood between adults and they sit still. But I shared my seat with my daughter who fidgets, and moves her weight back and forth from one position to another. I was so distracted from being literally bounced up and down on the bench from my daughters movements, and the glasses on the table shaking and silverware clanking from the vibrations of the staff each time they walked by. Ok yes, you may have guessed I'm super sensitive, and perhaps this won't be noticed by many people, but oh my god, if I go there again I will sit at a table on the floor instead. It was super annoying and it continued through the entire meal. I'm still rating this place 4/5 stars cuz the food was great, each employee I met was super friendly, approachable and helpful, and the cooks/chefs were efficient but damn, they should have supported the flooring better, and poked holes in the vinyl booth benches to let the air out! I felt like I was on a 3D ride at Universal. Grrrrrr! read more

After carefully reading reviews and hearing many things about this place, I decided to come here with my parents. This place is coming together slowly. Yes it was a previous Lebanese restaurant and will be remodeled to Yemeni perfection, so give them a break if you're heading in there any time in the next 2 weeks or so. Going on, the food. Complimentary fresh bread at every table. I had the Lamb Haneeth because why get anything else when going to a place that's known for that. And a very easy 5/5. Falling off the bone delicious. I had the shoulder part and that's my favorite! The Haneeth came with a bed of rice(amazing rice with raisins and almonds)and a choice of soup or salad. I chose the soup and they had the options of Marag, Lentil or Chicken Lemon Rice. Assuming the Chicken Lemon Rice soup is creamy as it should be, I ordered that and that was nothing more than a 0/5. It's not creamy. Looks like a bunch of things thrown together and flavor is not good. That needs a whole new recipe! But again, they're still figuring things out and I hope they're taking people recommendations. I also tried the Marag and that was a 4/5. The salad was very well 5/5. And the Sahawig(Yemeni Salsa) paired perfectly to the rice and Haneeth. Service was alright, not very attentive. Our waitress was kind of slow and there was only 2 other tables. Im very nice about service even if it's bad. I've had years in customer service experience as well as waiting experience. 3/5 Overall, I'm still going to give them a 5 star rating because that's how good the Haneeth was. Really. This is definitely up there with one of my favorite Haneeth. After my mother's of course! :) (mom i know you're reading this) read more

My family and I were craving some good Yemeni food. We heard about this new place that just opened from a friend of mine so we decided to give it it a try and we're sure glad we did. We had the roasted lamb which was so flavorful and tender, it was falling off the bones. We also had the rice which was made with basmati rice (most restaurants don't use this type of rice because it's more expensive) and it was perfect. The salad was really fresh and had the perfect balance of dressing. We ended this epic meal with some adeni tea (chai with milk and spiced with cloves). We were so impressed with the dinner we decided to order Yemeni foul (fava beans) and fasoolia for breakfast to go 2 days later and we all loved it, even the kids couldn't get enough. The spices were on point. Everything we've tried so far has been so great we can't wait to try more items on the menu. read more

This place would be 5 stars if it was for the service. The waiter sucks every single time, we're even complained to upper management but maybe he's related to them read more

Yemeni food is great! I like spicy food so this worked for me. Just need to work on better packaging takeout. Employees were nice too.

This place has came a long way from where it was at a year ago, and to be quite honest this is one of my top 3 restaurants in Dearborn. I ordered the Platter for 4, Hummus w/ Lamb, Lamb Soup, and Shafoot (Yogurt Salad). And May I tell you it was the most absolutely amazing. The lamb was tender and flavorful, the rice was cooked to perfection, the potato stew that came with the rice was flavorful, and the lamb soup was addicting. Best food I've had in a Minute BYFAR. I wish we have this in Massachusetts but sadly we don't. My waiter was very knowledgeable, knew our taste, assured us that we'll be happy and satisfied, and he was right. He was fast and efficient. Thank you Bassam! read more

Best restaurant in Dearborn, I love their Fahsa. I eat almost every week from there and the food is always delicious and good quality. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Bassam is the best, he always goes abovd and beyond to make us feel welcomed . read more

I'm excited for Haneeth House, and can't wait to try the next dish!

The mushroom sauce is like no other! read more

Mendi House - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

The lamb haneeth had no real flavor, considering it's the namesake, i was expecting better. I like the lamb haneeth at Sheeba more.

I'm giving a four-star but all honesty I'm just being super nice, the food was OK needs work, but service was great, atmosphere felt really good. I don't see myself going back here unless maybe they change up the recipes. read more

Ok I went in with already low expectations bc I had heard not so good things. Chose to try it bc other places didn't open till noon. Got the cheese manaeesh, Fasooliyah, and la7m seghar. The cheese bread was basically extremely stale bread w slices of cheese not even melted. We peeled off the cheese and put it on soft bread. The rest was ok, not super flavorful. Verdict: ok. Try again? Maybe, depends on if there are other options. Recommend? Not so much. There are way better Yemeni restaurants and this was overpriced for the quantity and quality. Also they are very inconsistent from what I've heard from my family ordering. read more

I noticed this place in my area and had heard some really good things so I decided to give it a try. My friend and I had the Haneeth since it's named after it, and it was so delicious and tender. Literally didn't need a knife- it fell right off the bone. The hummus and salad were really good as well. But the kicker was some yemeni tea that was very unique and refreshing. Almost like a chai latte without the coffee!! The staff was super helpful as well. In fact, I actually ended up making a large order for a friends pot luck this weekend and everyone loved it! (Especially me since I didn't have to cook lol) And the manager- Ali - was so kind, he even helped me pack up my car. Great food, great service. That's what will keep me coming back. read more

Amazing ethnic Yemeni dinner. Proportions were beyond generous and the flavors just explode with every bite. I had the meat haneeth with fahsa and soaked the freshly baked bread into the boiling cauldron. I couldn't help but feel as though i was back 500 years savouring one of the finest dishes thst the locals of yemen would make for their esteemed guests. read more

This is an incredibly tasty food place, I had the lamb Haneeth and humus, the Haneeth came with a great salad and the humus came with freshly baked bread. Simply said best food ever. Ever since I had their food every time I feel hungry I only think of their food. The lamb is incredible, the humus is the best in town the salad is perfect, their food is magic. Their service is above average and can get much better. read more

Excellent service and excellent food. We had very good experience dining in and using them for catering. Definitely give them a try...

Having tried some of the best Yemeni restaurants in the area, I can attest that Haneeth House is definitely up there in terms of quality. Their slowly roasted lamb seasoned with Yemeni spices is very tender and full of flavor. This is the go to place for authentic Yemeni Haneeth. I have eaten here three times since it opened and have found nothing but great service and prices well below most restaurants with similar menus in the area. Definitely recommend others to try it. read more

It seems like a new Yemeni spot has been opening up every couple months in Dearborn, but I'm not complaining! Came in for dinner after hearing good things about this place. We ordered the fahsah and the lamb haneeth with rice as that is our go to order at other Yemeni places. Both were solid but a little bland for my taste, compared to the Yemeni restaurants in the area. While I was hoping for more flavorful food, I will say that everyone else I was with seemed to really enjoy it. I'd be willing to go back and try other dishes, but after my first visit I have to say I was a little underwhelmed. read more

I won a gift certificate for this restaurant and a friend and I went. Suffice it to say - neither of us recommend nor will we return. It started with the water. I asked the server to take it back and put fresh water in it with ice. It came back with ice barely covering the top of the water. Then I ordered one meal and he came back and told me they didn't have it. Then I wanted iced tea. They didn't have that. I also had their fahsa. Let me stop here and reiterate. Neither of us will go back. read more

Remarkable food with great service. I had the lamb Haneeth and chicken Haneeth, as well as their Fatah, fahsah, sabaya, and their Adeni tea. This is a place I will definitely come back here. It's definitely a great place for friends and family. read more

Very delicious food and quick service the lamb haneeth and the chicken haneeth were amazing and the servers were very helpful

I had heard from a friend that there was a new Turkish restaurant in the Detroit area. We were taking friend M out for her birthday and thought we would try it. Couldn't find the Turkish place via Yelp but the Haneeth House, a Yemenese-Mediterranean place on the west side in Dearborn is new and had good reviews so we thought we would give it a shot. It was an excellent choice. Very clean, well-lit, comfortable booths with friendly service and outstanding food. My wife and I had the Haneeth platter for two which was lamb and chicken, rice pilaf and a Yemense soup. Our dining partners had a chicken dish and a lamb stew. Everything was outstanding and plentiful. we have an entire meal leftover and we didn't even get the soup since my wife has an issue with coriander which was in the soup. I highly recommend this as a dining spot or for carryout. The restaurant dining area is quite large and looks to be designed for large receptions, but along the windowed front wall, there is a string of large comfortable booths. The only downside is they do not serve alcohol which is to be expected in a Hallal Yemesese restaurant. I had a strawberry smoothie which was excellent. read more
