We were two, & our experience was good. We loved the place, the service, & the food. Let's start with the place. It is a simple decor that tried to pulls you to Yemeb & its traditions, with the names of the cities on the wall, the traditional outfits hanged on the walls, & the miniature depictions of buildings & camels Alma round the place. At the entrance, there is a nice Arab looking setting to immerse yourself more in the atmosphere. However, it is for 5-6 people & we were only two. As for the service, the waitress was very welcoming & friendly. She took the time to explain everything to us & was very patient. For the food, we ordered chicken Mandy, which was great. I loved the chicken. I am certain that it was cooked for a long time on low heat as the meat was falling of the bones. We ordered some veggies samosas, but the taste was not strong, as it needed some more seasoning. We also ordered some salad that was alright. The Mandi made for everything especially with some onion & raisin topping. I would definitely recommend trying Mazbi.
Amaaaazing restaurant !! The food was delicious, portions are really good 🤩 we tried the lamb, beef & chicken & I preferred the lamb that was so moist & the beef. I recommend it 200%

Plats minutieusement préparés & surprenants (notamment le Hummus: le meilleur que j'ai mangé à vie!). Délicatesse & équilibre des épices pour un mariage parfait! Même le boeuf était métamorphosé en délice exotique! Je recommande à tous de faire ce voyage & d'inviter d'autres à le faire....j'ai hâte d'y retourner....ne manquez pas le dessert maison avec dattes & crème. Pierre Gagnon, Montréal
On se régale toujours autant à chaque fois qu'on y va! L'ambiance y est paisible, c'est agréable de pouvoir discuter posément & de s'entendre parler. Je recommande

Great Yemeni restaurant! I highly recommend the mazbi chicken & lamb mandi. The masoub was also excellent. The service was a bit slow, & the tea was cold. I wish the chicken had been fresher, but the lamb was excellent. Definitely recommended!

We had an outstanding dining experience at this Yemeni restaurant. The dishes were truly exceptional, bursting with authentic flavors that left us eager for more. What made our visit even more memorable was the customer service; Wafa, in particular, went above & beyond to ensure our comfort & satisfaction. Highly recommend visiting for anyone looking for a top-notch meal coupled with excellent service!
Lovely Yémeny experience. The food is very tasty. You will taste lamp meat as if you never tasted it before 😋. I recommend the Mazbi Dish. The staff is very friendly & the place is warm & cozy.
Rly great food! I had never had food from Yemen before but it didn't disappoint whatsoever. Definitely recommend. The portions are also very generous :)
I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant, & I'm so glad I did! From the moment I stepped in, the aroma of authentic Yemeni spices transported me to another world. The ambiance was cozy & inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. I had the Mazbi lamb & Mandi lamb, both were incredibly tender & packed with mouthwatering flavor that left me craving more with every bite. The portions were generous, ensuring no one leaves hungry. But what really stood out was the hospitality. The staff treated us like family, going above & beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu & eager to recommend their favorites. Overall, this Yemeni restaurant exceeded all my expectations. If you're craving authentic Middle Yemeni cuisine served with warmth & hospitality, look no further. I can't wait to return & try more dishes from their delicious menu!
Really loved the food we had here (wasn't a fan of the cheese sambosa but that is personal taste.) The lamb was amazing, & I highly recommend upgrading your rice with the cripsy onion, almonds & raisins. It's incredible.
