Superb restaurant, serving a unique cuisine in a great way. It's a must try for those that want fulfilling portions cooked with care, from somewhere so far away but with this food, much closer.
Mon restaurant préféré! Vraiment un des meilleurs à Montréal! Non seulement la nourriture est délicieuse & cuisinée avec amour mais le personnel est vraiment gentil - Baraka'Allahu fikoum & Qu'Allah vous accorde beaucoup de baraka 🤍

It was our first time having Yemeni food in Montreal. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The staff was welcoming & the place was clean. The only thing I did not like was the tea. I felt like it did not have much taste. Other than that, the kids loved it & we loved it.
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.
Le riz n'avait pas assez par contre la viande était tellement bon . Le thé était froide & le samoussa pour 2,50$ c'est vraiment cher en plus qu'il est petit morceaux.

The food was very fresh & delicious! The atmosphere was also very vibrant, comforting, & homely. We had the lamb & chicken mazbi, khobz, sambosas, & the lamb broth (my fiancee INHALED it so fast!). Everything was so flavourful!
We came to the restaurant as a large group of 14. The service was fantastic & super friendly. Our orders were taken efficiently while being mindful of how the bills were being split up. The appetizers were good, the soup broth was tasty. The main dishes were amazing. Very tasty & an adequate amount. The lamb was super tender & truly fall of the bone. We tried the desserts & they were different but still amazing. Overall, I really enjoyed the food & the friendliness was next level.
First time trying Yemeni food & we were not disappointed. We were a big group so we made a reservation & they accommodated our 12 ppl party. I tried their Marag soup made of simple lamb broth. Very simple broth yet layered with flavors of lamb marrow & other earthy spices. Perfect balance of flavors. I then tried the mixed samosas appetizers. I love that they are done in the traditional Arab way using filo pastry. Delicious! The main dishes for us were Chicken mogalgal & mandi lamb. So yummy & rich with spices. Ask for the rice to come with fried onions. You can skip the bread which tasted like naan. The two dishes were best eaten with their rice. We had their Fetta with dates. An interesting hearty dessert that I would love to have for breakfast. The atmosphere is very simple & practical. Not for special occasions but for a more casual crowd. The service was excellent. Very attentive & the food arrived fast even though we were a large group.
