Bab Al-Yemen in Cardiff

I was just for one day in Cardiff. I ordered food through the Just Eat website but it never got delivered, it wasn’t the restaurants fault but the delivery guy working for Just Eat! I called the restaurant and they were so polite to suggest to make the food again and have it delivered to my hotel by the cook himself. The food itself was very delicious! I ordered the lamb with rice and I ate everything. The lamb was so soft it fell so easily from the bone! Deff. worth a try and it’s also cheap!!

Got food poisoning. Chicken mandi smell bad.

One of the best Yemeni restaurants I’ve been to

It's really amazing service & Nice food

Food poisoning and a dirty place, and whoever wants to make sure, visit the place and you can tell by the smell and the hall is all dust and mold. Wow, when you see the curtains, a ton of dust and mold comes down to you. Please pay attention to cleanliness. Masoub pita bread?????

Food not freshed. Lamb and chicken was warm and not recently cooked, definetely re-heated

My experience was with Mandi meat only. I ordered a group of people on my trip and I received it at home. The rice was cold and very salty, the meat was dry, and it was old and mahmasina. I ate two bites and could not finish the food. This is my experience in all honesty. I hope that the brothers in charge of the restaurant will look, correct, and improve the food to the satisfaction of the customer. Thank you and good luck.

A very wonderful Yemeni restaurant. They have different types of Yemeni and Arabic food. We ordered chicken mandi and meat mandi. The taste was delicious. There is an Arabic seating on the second floor and tables on the first floor. It is close to a mosque and the transportation station connected to the city.

The place is not clean at all 💔

I had an excellent lunch here. I was the only person in, although someone else’s meal was cleared away soon after I entered (on a match day at 2pm). The chicken mandi was enormous, the zhoug nicely sharp, the broth warming, the meat falling off the bone, and the rice sublime.

Food is good and service is good

We followed the reviews and decided to try this restaurant. The food was a let down, we felt sick afterwards.

The food is amazing and the staff are very nice

Worst Service . Ordered and waited for more than one and half hours.

Shocking place! The rice was either microwave packed or heated up from yesterday. The "half chicken" was pink inside🤮

Ordered a special deal menu for takeaway. The chicken was soft, tender and fell away from the bone. Flavours were delicious and not overpowering. Will definitely order again

I made an order tonight based on the description and the pictures on the website to receive a meal it looks like left over meal. When I called and explained to them ,I was dismissed and told to call on Monday for a manger than I was tod to call tomorrow. Not even a try to fix the situation and even offer to sort the matter out. Horrible customer service My meal it just bones litterly. Extremely disappointed.

الأكل جميل ورائع الطلبات كانت مندي لحم ومندي دجاج وواحد مقلقل ( لذيذ جداً جداً ) صاحب المطعم كان محترم جداً واستفبلنا احسن استقبال الله يعطيه الصحة ويرزقه يارب .. عندهم جلسات عربية في الدور الثاني ..

Good value for price, nice Arabic food and kind stuff

Лишь единожды побывали здесь 23.08.2021. Порции риса большие и жирные, но МЯСА МАЛО (и жира больше чем мяса в порции). Ничего особенного на вкус. По сравнению с другими ресторанами йеменской и кухни стран ближнего востока, в которых мы были ранее в UK, этот ресторан значительно уступает по качеству и вкусу блюд, размеру порции мяса.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله الاخت ام محمد مجالس الصبيحي العربية Great food and friendly staff. آيةالرزق باذن الله احسن مطعم واحسن معاملة من الاخ محمد مامون ابو القاسم ربي يرزقك ويباركلك برزقك ويوسع عليك من نعيمه

Very good meat Rice wasnt like wat from a quick rice food packet.

Can't wait to come back to this place for more food. I am currently reminiscing all the food I have tried from here two years ago. I shall be visiting soon iA.

Food very good basic restaurant but cheap.

I ordered lamb liver I got chicken instead I'm Yemeni I know exactly how lamb liver ment to look

I bought two times, first time was amazing with smoked chicken, the seller was a from Yemen , I think he is the owner of restaurant the second Time was very very bad with high price the Rice and meats and chicken was not fresh and not hot the chicken was not smoked like the first time .... the seller in second time was someone works there not the owner like first time I pay in that day almost 25 for family meal, but it wan't deserve 5 pound... I don't recommended

Tried this for the 1st time. The name go me. I havnt tried Yemeni food before. Mixed grill with salad and Yemeni tea.... The meat was lovely and salad juicy... I would recommend and will be going again to try more actual Yemeni cuisine

The food was amazing and the staff was really friendly. It had an authentic taste and the portions were generous! It's the place to go for arabic food in Cardiff. 👌

Worst Arabic restaurant in Cardiff. I ordered lamb mandi, however the meat was so dry as well as the rice. I hope they improve their dishes and chiefs Very bad experience overall :(

Encontrar comida para llevar de calidad no es fácil cuando se encuentra en un territorio desconocido, por lo que probamos este restaurante yemení con la esperanza de encontrar algo diferente. Y no nos decepcionó. Sabor, porciones generosas, originalidad: era todo lo que esperábamos.

Nice food , famil area available upstairs

Presentations was worst, menu said they will serve with salad just gave a slice of lemon. Not clean at all

Well, first day in Cardiff coming from Canada and was googling for Traditional Arabian food, Bab Al-Yemen was recommended by Google; was impressed by the quality of the dishes and the friendliness of the staff . The reasonable prices are bonus. Highly recommended

AVOID.. The worst food ever ..I mean EVER..two portions of salads looked like been out of the fridge for at least 24 hours ... I swear it was smelling. the soup is under cooked with no salt or taste.

I love well cooked and spiced food and this place gives just that. Big portions of food at affordable price.

Had collection this evening, food was absolutely tasty. We ordered 2 chicken mandi and the chicken was fantastic and cooked well. The marination is another story. Ive heard alot of bad things about this place but i had to try it myself. The food was great and the price is very reasonable and cheap. Paid £16 for 2 chicken mandi, 2 drinks and the main included two soups and 2 salads and the chili sauce which were tasty, only bad thing is they do not put enough salad, other than that words cant describe how great the food was. Would recommend to try proper arab food here. Feels like home made. The guy at the counter was very friendly.

This restaurant serves Yemen’s food. delicious

This is so hard to criticize. I'll try not to be biased. Good side: We tried lamb hanith and chicken mandi, they both taste good.The adani tea was really good. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Bad side: I was disappointed with the fahsa. I mean if you are from Yemen you should know how fahsa really tastes like. And the reason why I gave it a 3 stars is the fact that the restaurant is absolutely not hygienic and the floor was not clean and you can see dust everywhere in the upper floor. I would love to see more care and improvement in terms of cleanliness, food quality, and maybe Yemeni staff too.

Ended up there with an English co-worker who was feeling brave to try out a Yemeni Lunch. A big bowl of soup , mini mountain sized flavoured rice and lots of lamb meat all for under a tenner - I think it was £7. That was a story to tell. Oh yes and I did go back the next time I was in Cardiff

Any one who knows “Salta” and Yemeni food can tell from the photos how it was!!

Este es uno donde no se debe juzgar un libro por su portada. I estrellas Definitivamente la Cenicienta, la comida era fantástica con mucho sabor y suficiente para alimentar a toda la familia.

Bad food, unhygienic looking kitchen but nice guy at the countet

مطعم ممتاز الدجاج المندي عندهم ابدااااااااع

Lovely food lovely polite owner very cheap

Nice food (a bit salty), good prices and friendly staff.

One of the best Yemen's restaurant

Very tasty Yemeni traditional food

I really love this restaurant, it's pretty basic and a little shabby but the food is great and the owner has a lot of character. If you want to try basic, traditional Yemeni food this is the place for you. I'd recommend eating mandi rice with your hands whilst sitting on a carpet in the upstairs area.

Shakshuka, Magilgil and foul were excellent. Reminded me the nicest Yemeni food I tried in Saudi Arabia. Will definitely go back to try other things.

Great and authentic food at amazing prices with extremely friendly staff. Strongly recommend!

We ordered the £30 platter deal and we weren't disappointed! The chicken was sooo soft and was literally melting in the mouth. Rice and the accompanying sauce was great too. The naan was properly cooked and crispy. Never knew Yemeni food is so good. :)

I have eaten here a few times already, and it's been hit and miss, depending on what you order. The first time, I tried the Fahsah, which was like a lamb thick soup, tasty but a little bit too slimy for me (?okra) but a definite stomach-filler with the huge bread that comes with it. The second time, which was the best of all, was a Half Roasted Chicken which was absolutely delicious; the meat was falling off the bone and the flavours were amazing! However, the rice served on that day had a smokey taste and was also cold. The third time, I tried the Haneed Lamb, which as you can see in the picture, looks a bit dull and so was the taste; the rice on the occasion however was delicious!

Gets raw meat delivered in a bin bag from a car booth. Wouldn't eat there...

Great middle East food really nice guys Come all the way from Birmingham for you guys.

Delicious food best I've ever tasted

ما شاء الله مطعم رائع للإفطار و العاملين فيه ودودين.

Estupendo, muy buenos precios para disfrutar de una buena comida y un servicio encantador. Todo cocinado en los locales, nunca he tenido comida Yemení antes, pero me gustó mucho.
