    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!

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.

The Rowley Inn is located in a nice neighborhood (Tremont) across the street from the Christmas Story house. I had three meals there. The first, loaded pierogis, was the ultimate comfort dish. Pierogis with potato centers were covered in diced kielbasa, bacon (yes, bacon), and covered in cheddar cheese. Ahhhhh. The others at my table raved about the kielbasa and pierogi dish. They also liked the beer selection. How do you know you have a great find? You think about the meal long after it is consumed. Next meal- breakfast. I had the kielbasa and pierogi omelet. Need I say more? Finally, we came back a third time and I ordered the burger. No burger place (save Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ) can match the Rowley burger. The burger is actually seasoned and cooked to order. I had it medium rare. Sheer perfection. Typing this review makes me sad because I live far away from Cleveland. If you are in The Land, you must drop everything you are doing to get to the Rowley Inn. It is a 8 minute drive from downtown.

I mean, plus... There's a pretty famous house across the street. I waited a few moments longer than I would have liked for the hostess to seat me, ultimately choosing a two top behind a pillar toward the back. This may have been a mistake... As service waned throughout my meal. The bacon wrapped tots are a MUST TRY. Fantastic! The steak frites was also very good. I've been to nice steak joints that don't know how to cook a steak medium that consistently throughout. My initial water glass was cracked, and a decent chip in the top almost cut my lip. I brought it to the servers attention and she replaced it. And, I also ordered an Arnold Palmer, which never came. Had it not been for those oversights, it may have been a five star review, which is a definite rarity for me when I've tried "Triple-D" locations. Usually I leave disappointed. Y'all, it's an old school bar vibe. Divey. Loved it! Very cool ambiance. So glad I went. It may have been a little loud, honestly...but it is a bar...and I'm getting old! Hahaha!

They close at 3:00. Our server was Maria. Super nice and very helpful. We were leaning toward the chicken salad sandwich and asked if it contains onions. Kathy can't eat raw onions. It upsets her stomach. Maria was very honest and said yes, it has lots of onions. And she is not a fan of it for that reason. We thanked her and went to our 2nd choices. I got a chicken avo club and Kathy got the BLT with an egg and on ciabatta bread. My chicken avo club was good. Just very sloppy. The avocado made it too slippery to stay on the bread. The first half I was able to keep it on. 2nd half I had to deconstruct it and eat it piece by piece with a fork and knife. Still good. Just not in sandwich form. The Cajun potato's were very good too. Kathy also enjoyed her BLT. Place is cute. Lots of artwork on the walls you can buy. Parking is right in the lot by the entrance. Easy peazy. No reason to not try this place. Prices are about average. My sandwich was $15. And you can get breakfast all day. Lives up to the hype. I'd go back.

So for a grand total of $24.90, I got the Doris sandwich (a breakfast pork burger and egg sandwich) with added pickles and mixed greens, as well as an order of their famous cornmeal fries and a side of sunshine sauce. Everything was packaged fabulously in their iconic retro-diner style packaging and was still hot upon arrival. The buttery brioche bun was without a doubt, some of the best bread I've had in a while. I am marking my score down a mere half point as I wasn't huge on the signature egg and I would have liked an opportunity to opt for "light" sauce vs a standard amount of sauce on the food ordering app. The entire sandwich is gigantic and is definitely a diet killer. The cornmeal fries, which includes about 7 huge and filling fries, were so good! Definitely a must-order here. I ate a couple now and am saving the rest for later. I wish I could have dined in at Martha on the Fly. The interior looks adorable and has great vibes but I am happy I finally got to try their food!

I visited on a Saturday for brunch, and since they don't take reservations and the space isn't very large, there can be a bit of a wait during peak hours. Parking was probably the most frustrating part of the experience. Your main options are valet, street parking or parking in a city lot on a nearby street and walking over. It's doable, but not the most convenient -- especially if the weather isn't great or you're in a hurry. Once inside, though, the experience definitely improved. The atmosphere is cozy and lively without feeling chaotic, and the staff kept things moving despite how busy it was. The food was genuinely good and worth the wait. I ordered the shrimp and grits with chicken sausage, and it was flavorful, hearty, and clearly made fresh. I ordered 24K pancakes "with toppings" as a meal so it was around $20 and I thought it should've been way more fruit and whipped cream than it was for the price but that would be my only critique. One of the highlights was the drink menu -- especially the variety of mimosa options. If you're into brunch cocktails, you'll have plenty to choose from. I tried the lemon drop mimosa, which was refreshing, slightly tart, and a fun twist on the usual orange juice version. Overall, Double Nickel delivers where it matters most: tasty food and creative drinks in a cute brunch setting. Just plan ahead for parking and the possibility of a wait, and you'll likely leave happy (and full).

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.

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 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.
