Still in Rochester and after visiting the Strong Museum of Play. My family and I ate lunch at Halal…read moreYemen restaurant. The restaurant is situated in a little square, yet its plain facade hides the delicious food that awaits you inside. There is plenty of seating around the room, with a sizable section in the center that is ideal for gatherings of friends and family. Honestly, the casual, unassuming ambiance and modest decor may make you pause at first. I implore you, nevertheless, to not judge a book by its cover. Take a seat, put your order, and get ready to enjoy a filling dinner. Halal meat is a key element of the menu, which is a big plus for people who value this dietary choice. My family selected the Chicken Kabsa, but I went with the Chicken Mandi. The fact that both dishes were served hot and fresh was evidence of their quality. It takes a little while to prepare the cuisine, but the wait is definitely worth it. Be patient. While the Chicken Kabsa had the ideal balance of spices and soft chicken, the Chicken Mandi was juicy and flavorful. I added the given sauce and hot sauce to take the dish to the next level, adding an amazing depth of spice and flavor. We couldn't help but sample the Basbosa dessert after our main course. This dessert was the ideal way to cap off our meals, giving it a traditional Yemeni sweetness that left us feeling utterly content From beginning to end, the meal experience is made pleasurable by the attentive and helpful staff.

It looked like a good place to share food at in terms of atmosphere. I got the Mantarli (Mushroom) Pide and Sutlac (Rice Pudding). The pide was good, but it wasn't as hot as I would've liked to have been :( I think this was because of the delivery service, so it's not any fault of the restaurant. The crust was really nice and crunchy. The pudding was excellent - it was light and rich at the same time and hit the spot perfectly. I think that this place would be best eaten at in-person, so for a truly fair review I'd need to come back for that. Very good food and solid pricing!

I arrived hungry and excited to try the food, especially after hearing good things about the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to my expectations. The black beans tasted like they came straight from a can and had virtually no flavor. The chicken was tender enough, but the only flavor I could taste was salt. In fact, it was so salty that I found myself reaching for the green sauce with almost every bite just to make it enjoyable. Without the sauces, I don't think I would have finished the meal. Be prepared to drink plenty of water afterward. On the positive side, the customer service was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. The prices are definitely reasonable, and you get a good amount of food for your money. Overall, it's an affordable lunch option with great service and a clean environment, but the food itself could use more seasoning and flavor beyond salt. For that reason, I'm giving it 3 stars.

On this trip I got the braised lamb shank, she got the fetteh, and we both got the Shai karak drinks. The drinks were incredible, flavorful and rich with a hint of spice.

The atmosphere was beautiful, with traditional tapestries and love plants scattered around. Would come again and already planning on it.

I get enough chicken at home. :) My first experience was about 4 weeks ago. I had been back three times since and have not had a bad meal yet. The three sauces were a perfect choice to go with this meal. The next thing is that you choose the vegetables, which were fresh, and of course, they were delicious. The good thing is that it's all assembled right there in front of you as you tell him which vegetables you want. Then he wrapped the sandwich in paper and then aluminum foil. Placed it in a takeout box. All this for $15.00

I go in to take a leak and smell something heavenly wafting from the left rear of the convenience store. After relief, and washing my hands, I head over to check it out. Looks like Souvlaki but they call it Doner. They say it's a dish you can find in Berlin, Germany. I guess it's German Souvlaki. But there is a wrap, somewhat like a pita, but bigger and lighter. Oh..

Putting in a couple appetizers, we opted in for the kibbeh, baba ghanouj, and manakeesh (za'atar w. cheese). The kibbeh was seasoned and fried perfectly. The baba ghanouj was creamy and accompanied with a very nice and airy pita bread, and the manakeesh was wonderful. It reminded me of a sauceless cheese pizza with the middle eastern spices. For mains, we opted in for the Mashawi which included a trio of meats. Kofta, beef kabob and chicken. All three meats were nicely seasoned, but the star meat for us was the kofta. The side of hummus was nice, and the salad was nicely seasoned even before pouring the dressing over it. Also opting in for the lamb chops, I found these to be perfectly grilled and incredibly tender. These were grilled closer to a medium-well, but still remained juicy and packed full of flavor. We found our server and the kitchen employee (perhaps the owner) to be pleasant and full of hospitality. This small-from-the-outside restaurant blew us away and we enjoyed everything we had. We look forward to returning in the near future to try other items on their menu.

I wasn't wanting to eat a whole platter of them, so I just stuck with the plate. After sitting down, they brought me a dolma, free of charge. That was unexpected and very thoughtful. The dolma was delicious! The kebabs seemed a bit dry but the flavor was great. I was under the impression it came with pita bread, but I never received any. No biggie, as I was not starving. All in all a good experience with good food. I will make one recommendation, there are 2 doors to get into the restaurant. The restaurant was clean, but in between the 2 doors, was pretty dirty with a lot of debris in the corner as you walk out. Definitely 4 stars, but cooked a little bit differently and the floor swept at the entrance, would have been 5 stars. Oh well, I'd go back though!
