    Chicken
    Jeff T.

    The food here was pretty good. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive. I had one of the chicken dishes and the chicken was very moist and was falling off the bone. Here for lunch. A little pricey for lunch. No lunch menu so only dinner prices and dinner sizes hence the 4 star review.

    Fahsah and Charcoal Grilled Chicken

    Loved Yemen Gate so much! The Fahsah was excellent. Yemeni food is rare to find in Cleveland, and they do a wonderful job here. You won't be disappointed! We will most certainly be coming here regularly.

    Chicken Haneeth Chicken Haneeth Kabsa Lamb Hummus Plate with Bread Limeade with Mint House Salad

    Saw a video on Instagram by a food blogger recommending this restaurant and it did NOT disappoint! We had the hummus and bread, the best in CLE! We also shared the salad and had the grilled half chicken and a lamb and rice dish. This was the best middle eastern food we've had in the entire CLE area! The server was wonderful and provided great service. We felt so welcomed and well taken care of. Our new favorite restaurant! You have got to try!

    Main area.

    If you want REAL Arab/yemeni food this is the place to come. This place is owned by a Yemeni so rest assured as its authentic food. The service is outstanding here, there was a nice lady taking us to our table and giving us the food. The food is extremely good and they season it well. The atmosphere is also nice here. It could be better but it's already good however if they had money they could renovate this to be one of the best Arab restaurants in Cleveland!

    If you want to find delicious Yemení cuisine, this is the no place to visit! Hands-down the best tasting food and the best service. The naan and hummus was yummy. The Chicken Mandi and Lamb Haneeth we're delicious. The portions were HUGE! So, if you plan on going there and trying to put down your own plate. Go very hungry or be ready to take your leftovers home. The limeade and mint and mango juice were incredible. And the dessert with dates and figs is amazing! I highly recommend this place and will go back soon!

    I had to wait 20 minutes for a seat at the bar on a Friday morning, and I'm glad to say the wait…read morewas worth it! I ordered the biscuit & gravy ($16) and one kids pancake ($5). Both were delicious! The biscuit was perfectly buttery, and it was covered in a rich, flavorful mushroom gravy and came with scrambled eggs. It was filling but somehow not too heavy. I licked my plate clean. The pancake was also wonderful. It was topped with a thin layer of rhubarb jam that brought a nice tartness along with a dollop of sorghum butter and whipped cream, and served with Ohio maple syrup on the side. I could have easily had a whole stack of the pancakes. The staff was friendly, and though the place was busy, the service was efficient. Excited to come here again! Note - if you use a credit card, it does come with a 3% service fee.

We started with the Cheddar & Chive Biscuit served with butter and seasonal jam--and honestly, it was the perfect start to the meal. For my main meal, I ordered the Toast & Peaches, which might just be the best breakfast I've ever had. It featured local peaches, bacon, whipped blue cheese, pickled onion, arugula, and basil, all layered on a thick, perfectly toasted slice of bread. Absolute perfection. My husband went with the Gravy & Biscuit, which came with local mushroom gravy, kale, soft scrambled eggs, and house-made sausage crumbles. If you're looking for a breakfast spot that's creative, fresh, and downright delicious, this is a must-try! I can't wait to go back!!

I wanted to try the pierogi and the Polish boy and the KRAUT and having an extensive beer menu doesn't hurt either. Friendly neighborhood watering hole literally on the corner and basically across the street from the a Christmas story house allowing you to eat within eye sight of the leg lamp. I wanted basically everything from the menu that came vegan (spoiler alert there are tons and tons of things) but gastric space comes at a premium on vacation so we settled on the fried cheese. I was very excited to see the Polish boy (and vegan option no less) I didn't have much of a choice. GF ordered the vegan pierogi platter with vegan kielbasa on a bed of kraut. Firstly the fried cheese was head and shoulders above any mozz sticks or anything of the sort that I have had in memory. The breading is seasoned and crispy and heaven on earth. The cheese is PIPING. Like you will burn yourself if you, like me, have no patience. The accompanying tomato sauce is also steaming. So good. The Polish boy was also in a league of its own. Love that they have a vegan version. What a combo. Probably one of Cleveland's most important community contributions. We ordered the latkes to go and they were orgasmic. What a special place.

Nothing really grumpy about it! Our server was so sweet, friendly, and personable. She was the best. Like I want to be her friend! Our food came out pretty quick. I got the eggs Florentine. Yummmmm !!! I'm always a little iffy ordering eggs for a restaurant, but they poached it perfectly for my liking! Just runny enough!

I'm so sad about this, but this was not my favorite experience at Leavened. Customer service was great of course but my selections fell short. I got a mushroom and ricotta croissant, which was fine. I forgot the ricotta was supposed to be there because it mostly tasted liked mushroom, but it was good. I also got the cinnamon monkey bread. This was not good. It was seemingly cooked in the paper that it was served in so the top of the bread pieces were crunchy, the middle was softer and then everything else was completely stuck to the paper. I didn't get to eat about 1/3 of what I paid for and I had to work really hard for the other 1/3. Also, the bread had a very spicy taste. It must have been cinnamon and allspice, but it was entirely too much and very overpowering. It truly tasted like a spicy savory bread which is not what I was expecting or wanted. Monkey bread is usually gooey and sweet. This missed the mark, but that's okay. I'll certainly return for another treat soon. Also the bread was looking fire this day.

    I think I've tried this place enough to finally declare it an overall disappointment. Today I tried…read morethe hoisin tofu sandwich. The bread was fresh and crusty, there were two small strips of tofu that had maybe been dribbled on by hoisin sauce at some point, some lettuce and jalapeño slices, and carrots. The sandwich was dry as a bone and a really sad empty version of a banh mi. The chocolate rye cookie I bought as a back up was thankfully still deliciously chocolatey and soft as usual. The guy at the register said the bread pudding still has a "cinnamon roll base, so it has orange in it" despite nothing in the sign denoting this awful addition to bread pudding and the fact that cinnamon rolls are not orange rolls. But I digress and I won't fight with a cashier over their poor decisions lol. Also got a cherry chocolate sourdough on impulse. Pray it is soft inside.
