    Lamb Haneeth
    April T.

    WHAT A GEM. I'm not just saying this because my sister and I came STARVING, but the food tasted amazing! The lamb was so tender! I had to move my utensils across the table to stop myself from eating too much. Their appetizer sampler was beautiful. The hummus, babaganoush and yogurt & cucumber dips were very good. You could taste all the ingredients well. I cannot rave enough about this place. And the man helping us at the counter, our new habibi, a friend, made the experience more enjoyable.

    As part of our diversifying & including international cultures - beyond Japanese - in my Women's Sushi & More group, of which I'm an organizer, I decided to initiate "Food Diplomacy" tonight, per my U.S. Department of State professional experience at U.S. Embassy Majuro, in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, as well as based on my 3-years living in multi-cultural Chicago, IL, 10+ years living inside the Washington, D.C. beltway (the most diverse, educated, and international part of the United States of America), working in New York City, and 5-years living in San Francisco & Silicon Valley, CA. This venue, as such, reminds me of "East West Grill - Arlington," near Clarendon, in Arlington, VA, just outside Washington, D.C., which my Pakistani-American BFF showed me, over 20+ years ago, around 2005, when we met, and where I took my Sierra Leone-American BFF in 2018, given she's also Halal. The customer service was exquisite, and Aqeel made our experience so hospitable! He told me they do not accept reservations, however to call ahead 15-minutes in advance, and later 5-minutes in advance. He ensured we had a table all set-up for our group of 6 women, and was so very attentive with us, ensuring we had everything we needed, while ordering. In my case, I ordered one of the fresh juices - Lemon with Mint - after seeing nearly every delivery order ordering it, and it was superbly delicious! Then I tried the Cucumber & Yogurt, of course, a favorite. I skipped the dolmas, as I was filling up fast! :-) And I ordered their signature dish: "26. Lamb Haneeth حنيذ لحم," which was superb! The lamb was so very tender, juicy, and a delicious taste, and I'm thrilled to have an ample amount remaining, for my lunch tomorrow! Highly recommend!

    Family mixed grill

    This food was spot on! Flavorful, exciting, and plenty! The owner was cooking and serving, and was very on top of it! We felt at home and comfortable talking and enjoying ourselves. We will return!

    Absolutely delicious! We ordered the gyro plate, the chicken and lamb kofta plate, and baklava and everything was amazing. The meats were juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. You can really tell they season everything well. The rice was just as impressive super flavorful and not just a plain side. Portions are very generous, definitely enough to leave full (or share). The baklava was the perfect way to finish the meal , beautifully layered, rich, and flavorful without being overly sweet. And the piece was big too! If you're in Aurora and craving Middle eastern food, Yemen Grill is a must-try. We'll definitely be back!

    I had been to the other Yemen grill thinking I had signed up for the same quality as the other location. Maybe it was an off night but the food and freshness was as mediocre at best. The lamb sandwich lacked freshness and flavor, my wife's falafel wrap was also far worse than the fresh falafels we had at the other location. The banana strawberry shake at $5.99 was utterly sweet and resembled a Costco fruit smoothie but honestly was even less refreshing. The baba ganoush wasn't fresh a the pita was served on a platter that hadn't been cleaned in multiple uses. I guess the only good thing is that they are open till 11pm. Not sure what went wrong last night. But hope the quality can approve.

    Falafel
    Kailee N.

    Yemen grill lets you watch as they make each of the dishes fresh and hot for each order. I wish you could hear the crunch of each falafel! Hands down you HAVE to order the grape leaves! These are the best and most flavorful, clearly handmade, grape leaves I have had. They carry a bright and salty flavor that had us fighting for the last one! My partner said this was the most moist and flavorful shawarma wrap that he had ever had. They offer delivery and family meals too, that would make a perfect meal prep for a busy week!! The only downfall is that I was sad to see that this location does not have the cafe options like their other location.

    Worth ALL the hype and then some!!! Check out their IG page @yemengrilldenver for content and then immediately get to one of their 2 locations because the content does not do it justice! Met the owner on the way in and was greeted by a spacious restaurant with plenty of seating and open assembly of plates being dressed for orders. The menu is vast so we opted for the mixed appetizer, large mixed grill and the mint lemonade so we could sample a variety of items. The appetizer comes out and these falafel are piping hot, fluffy, crunchy and ohhh so freaking amazing.... but then you have options to dip them in. Let me tell you about the garlic dip- perfection sums it up but it is so flavorful and you could literally ward off vampires for a lifetime but dammit I'm still dreaming about it 4 days later. The hummus it so silky and creamy, I had no idea it could be this way lol, the baba ganoush is smoky and full flavored, the tzatziki is fresh, clean and tart. The mixed grill is 4 different kabobs nestled on a bed of the most flavorful mandi rice. Don't know what mandi rice is? GO FIND OUT because you're missing out on the most aromatic rice experience if you don't. And then the meats... they're spiced grilled treats packed full of love. The mint lemonade, yeah go on ahead and get the pitcher because you'll want it and then you'll look up recipes because you'll want it ALL the time. Save room for dessert because they have it and it's fantastic. Will we be back? ABSOLUTELY! Ohh and the rest of the staff, not just the owner are fabulous, personable and had the best suggestions to make sure we rolled out of the restaurant full and happy.

    Lamb Mandi for early dinner.

    Came in for early dinner. Had a great service. Food was good but a little price, but good portion. . Place was homey, clean Nice place. Will recover.

    Strawberry and banana smoothie.
    CityGal M.

    WOW yum!!! We had the gyro...it was LOADED with meat (lamb). We had the falafel and as a New Yorker who loves the falafel carts... these were better! The falafel balls were chopped and tossed in the lettuce and they were a generous portion of falafel. The strawberry and banana fruit smoothie was fresh and delicious! The baklava was ridiculously delicious. Highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant! Definitely coming back.

    Absolutely delicious food and amazing service. The lamb haneeth was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, it literally fell off the bone. The grilled chicken was juicy with a great smoky char, and the rice was fragrant and cooked just right. The hummus and salad were fresh and balanced everything beautifully. On top of the food, the service made the experience even better. Aqeel was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. He took the time to make sure everything was right and made us feel comfortable and appreciated. You can tell he really cares about the customers. Highly recommend this place for authentic, hearty food and warm hospitality. I'll definitely be coming back!

    21. Chicken Mandi
    Shareen S.

    Yemeni cuisine is famous for its rich and meaty flavors. My favorite dish is the Chicken Mandy. Mandy is a dish with chicken, lamb, or beef served over a bed of fragrant rice. The meat is traditionally cooked inside a tandoor or clay oven, or sometimes referred to as buried underground-- which gives it a smoky flavor and most tender, fall off the bone texture. I can guarantee it's cultural authenticity in flavors because I have experienced the real thing in the Middle East, even right down to the interior decor. I also love the fresh mango juice. And it is as mouth-watering as it sounds! Yemen Grill restaurant has been around for many years and the quality of food, produce, and meat, as well as the dining experience has been consistently high. It's a family style restaurant with booths and large sharing tables promoting a more traditional and communal dining experience. This restaurant has become very popular so plan to arrive early, especially when dining in the evening. Orders are made fresh, with generous portions, and are turned out quickly. The grilling station is upfront so you can watch your food getting prepared. Come hungry, and leave happy.

    Mango
    Gabrielle L.

    I am so impressed with Yemeni Grill! We ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, shish tawook with rice, lamb haneeth, grape leaves, and a jug of mango juice, everything was absolutely delicious. All the meats were incredibly tender and full of flavor, and the food came out fresh and perfectly seasoned. The stuffed grape leaves were honestly the best I've ever had in a restaurant. Truly outstanding! The service is just as amazing as the food. Aqeel is the best, he greets you like family the moment you walk in, always with a big smile. The hospitality here makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. If you want incredible Middle Eastern food with warm, genuine service, Yemeni Grill is a must try. Highly recommended!

    42. Tekah Lamb with Fries
    Eric G.

    We've been wanting to try this place for a bit. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff were welcoming when we first walked in. The lamb tekah was tender and flavoured well. The fries were crispy and generously portioned. We had ordered the falafel appetizer, but it arrived after we were finished with our meal. Those were also cooked well. The cucumber dip was delicious! One thing is the person serving us seemed very much like they didn't want to be there, seemed preoccupied with anything but waiting on the tables. So go, the food is great! Just be aware that it may take a while to actually order it.

    We have visited back to back, 3 different times!! It's just that good. Super affordable, packed…read morewith flavor. The garlic mayo is my favorite to have with my meal. They are always friendly and the food is always hot and fresh I get the plate with chicken, gyro, rice and hummus! Delicious

    Owner seriously needs to get a clue! I came in to get their…read morespecial chicken wraps, which honestly shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to prepare. What I witnessed while waiting was unbelievable. The hardworking young woman behind the counter was doing absolutely everything. She was taking orders, making food, handling the fries, processing payments, and trying to keep up with customers, while one other guy somewhat helped her, looked like he was new. She was literally running around nonstop and sweating so much that she looked like a football player trying to take on an entire team by herself. There were only about four customers inside, yet the operation was complete chaos. A customer before me had ordered a pizza that was made incorrectly, and after waiting 25 minutes, she demanded a refund because she still didn't have a proper order. Meanwhile, I waited 28 minutes for my chicken wraps and still had nothing. At that point, I requested a refund and left. What made the situation even worse was seeing the owner sitting outside casually chatting and sipping water with someone for the whole time that actually was also an employee while all of this was happening. The hardworking girl even went outside to ask for help, but instead of stepping in, the owner sent her back inside to handle refunds and continue preparing orders by herself. On top of that, the restaurant itself didn't leave a great impression. There was a large object sitting in the dining area covered with what appeared to be a plastic sheet, with parts sticking out from the sides. It looked out of place and gave the restaurant an unfinished, neglected appearance. If this has been sitting there for a while, it should have been addressed long ago. Customers shouldn't have to look at covered equipment or storage items while trying to enjoy a meal. This is absolutely ridiculous. I genuinely hope that young woman finds a better job with better pay because she deserves it. She was the only person making any effort to keep the place running. The owner needs to understand that running a restaurant isn't just about serving food. Customer service, supporting your staff, and maintaining a welcoming dining environment come first. Until that changes, I can't recommend this place to anyone.
