Diyafa in Sheffield

Sadly poor staff, especially the two girls today. So rude smashed glass on table because I asked to clean table with dirty rice on it. I asked 4x and they never cleaned it. I was given forks only, i asked for knife and was met with a look. Food came out in two minutes literally so not fresh and chicken was dry. Sadly I had high hopes but it was dirty and staff was in a rush and rude despite not being busy. Will not visit again- it was that bad

It's hit or miss sometimes the food sometimes it's average. Need consistency in the quality of the food. The service is super 10/10 👌

Don't want to write a review but I want other families (women),beware of the lady who works in diyafa with hijab has no manners .I really like diyafa and the food is excellent this was our food place which our family likes unfortunately after few incidents the lady in hijab decided to lean over my husband not once but many times when bringing food to our table with my children sat noticed her behaviour and she kept starring at him the whole time until we left .this was brought to owners attention that it's not acceptable for her to lean over other women's husband especially having enough room to go around but she was acting flirtisious and desperate so know we can't ever go until she leaves otherwise GREAT PLACE .

Diyafa was an excellent, no frills, delicious feast, which gave me enough to eat for lunch the next day. I will 100% come back, the rice and lamb was to die for.

I've been few times never get boring from this food, also lovely staff and good service.

Food was amazing, it was my first time there. It's tucked away, we went for breakfast and it was full. It's not a posh place, and not your typical English breakfast at all, but the food was outstanding, will definitely go again.

One of the best restaurants I have tried in all of Britain, honestly. The beans, shakshuka, and liver are excellent. Myth: Bread is always hot out of the oven. The shrimp is amazing. Lemon juice and Adani tea are good. The only things I didn't like were grilled meat (awsal) and mandi, but people have tastes. The session is simple, popular, and the service is also normal. But we always come back to maintain the good quality of food.

It's my favourite place to eat 😋

The restaurant is not good I don’t recommend it

The taste. Very excellent. It reminded me of beautiful memories

I visited this restaurant in the morning and I ate breakfast it was delicious, I think it is best restaurant in UK I will try to try with Mandi in next time.

This is one of my favorite Arabic restaurants. Their menu is exceptional, and the portions are so generous that you could easily finish them on your own. Whenever I feel like dining out, I choose Diyafa—it always offers a delightful experience for my family as well.

Delicious food, very good service, and a comfortable atmosphere

Ordered lamb mendi,wasn't how I expected the rice,bread and chilli was nice but the lamb was lamb chops with like a tandoori style it's not what I would call a mendi...the small meat was ok.

The kabsa and rice stuff are really good But the grilled meat as mince meat or mix grilled are not tasty at all The best nan i have ever eat The staff is friendly and nice

really really good food. huge portions. i recommend the zorbian lamb. only downside is that the food takes over an hour. otherwise fantastic

Amazing food, excellent service, great value.

I have been to this restaurant about 4 times now. Its become my goto place every time I travel to Sheffield. Never disappoints. I love it!

A good place to try Arabian dishes. No long waits, delicious hot food served on your table. You get a compliment mutton soup to start with. Variety of kebabs and rice dishes.

As you can see we had 3 dishes, lahm mohamar, chicken mohamar and lamb zurbiyan. The lahm mohamar was abit dry the chicken one was very good but the best and exceptional was the lamb zurbiyan it was very authentic and had all the right tastes a very generous portion with a fair and equal price, service was excellent and food came fast!

Very tasty food and good customer service.

It is a good place to dine if you like Lebanese food and other popular dishes.

Absolutely amazing food and customer service. Hidden gem and a must try

Excellent service. Authentic yemeni food. I recommend the "Aseed". Thank you

I ordered food on July 29th, but the restaurant canceled my order, claiming they didn't have the chef. They didn't inform me beforehand, so I had to pay again to reorder the food, even though they assured me I would be refunded for the cancellation. When I tried to address the issue with the restaurant, the staff gave me no proper response and hung up on me without offering any assistance. On top of that, the food was cold, and made me sick the next. They also charged me twice for food that had gone bad. This was the worst experience I've had with this restaurant.

This is such an unassuming place with great food at cheap rates. And the food quantity requires a special mention.

Good food, otherwise average outlet

I just moved to Sheffield and while setting up my kitchen tried a few takeaways. Best I tried 🔥, need to try in person. Food is full of flavour and the adeni tea is fire

Nice family restaurant with extremely generous portions for fantastic prices. Will be eating there again for sure.

Roasted chicken should be roasted, but actually it’s a boiled chicken with red colour. Make me sick after few hours of eating it. Will never again

Diyafa is a good Arabian restaurant that offers delicious and affordable food. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes and the short wait time.

A real taste of Arabia. The size of the portions are considerable but that does not affect the quality the least. There is a mildly hot and spicy taste to the dishes but it is not very poignant. The service is comparable to the speed of a fast food place but to a much higher quality. The personnel are great and helpful. The prices are great.

The food is very good and the waiting isn't long.

Authentic food and amazing portions. Everything was absolutely delicious.

Nice place to dine in or take out

It's not Diyafa anymore. Another person bought the business.

What an amazing experience we had in this restaurant. The Yamani cosine is one of my best and i always look forward to trying their great food. We went to a trip near Sheffield and we stopped by after we searched for a place with good reviews. It was my first time trying this place and i was absolutely shocked, what an amazing place and delicious food and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Very fresh, big portions and good presentation. We ordered Zorbian lamb and saghir (small meat with naan. We also ordered their special bread and ends our meal with the Adani tea. They brought us a meat Yamani Soup and this was on house to welcome their customers. All dishes came as expected to be and higher. Was absolutely delicious, i really enjoyed it and I highly recommend everyone near by to try it. This place has a toilet and it was very clean and they said that they refurbished it recently which you can see, and we parked our car in a paid car park only two minutes walk from the restaurant i think was Waker car park.

This is a great place, best food as well. The lady I spoke to on phone is so lovely. Highly recommended.

Excellent food....one of the best and most flavoured meat and rice I have had in a long time....!

This review is for online order only. If you order online from Diyafa you will get the rice, the meat will be only the bones and cartilage. 0 complimentary soup, 0 sauces. All is overpriced and separatedly charged. I recommend dining in the restaurant and you will be 100% satisfied. Also some authentic arabic music or recitations from the Quran will go a long way into the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Nice little place, very nice tea, good food, reasonable price.

The Diyafa signature dish was really great I love it I recommend the dish to everyone

Definitely will go back. The chicken mendi was lovely and the portion size is huge, tastes like homemade food

I ordered 3 soups Hospitality authority Zerbian meat Half a grilled chicken French fries 2 red tea, 1 Adani tea The whole food is delicious and the price is excellent 👍 The bill is 26 pounds. The service is excellent and very fast 👍 They also put a free thermos of water on each table. But the place and sessions are not that. They have sweets, but I haven't tried them.

Food was ready as soon as we ordered, they are super fast We had lamb mendi and it was delicious,ot was enough for the two of us. Meaning we spent £5 per person The tea was delicious, very authentic and i was craving more of it for the rest of the week Service is great Food is really reasonably priced,

I have been to Diyafa several times. I have always been delighted by the service and by how promptly the food is served. A complimentary soup is served in the beginning which is lovely to begin with. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are also very decent. I would recommend you try out this place.

Bad experience and unkind treatment. Smiling is forbidden and the food is not fresh

Amazing authentic Yemeni food. Great friendly service.

Great place, went there for a quick bite and everything was nice and quick.

Very authentic Yemeni food. Excellent service. Food was served very quickly and prices were very good too!

The food is just great! Very tasty and inexpensive. I recommend grilled fish and mango juice. Also, everything is prepared and brought very quickly. Everything is fresh. Removed a star because some visitors stare at me even when I'm with my boyfriend. And the district - I don't go there alone in the evening.

“My experience at this Yemeni restaurant was very disappointing. First of all, the prices were high compared to the quality of service I received. The staff were rude and did not know how to treat customers nicely. In addition, the quality of the food was unsatisfactory and not commensurate with the prices paid. Based on this, Based on this negative experience, this restaurant is not recommended for anyone looking for a satisfying dining experience.”

Nice halal food. Very delicious. Super clean Welcoming staff. Hope you redecorate the restaurant to look even better. Will come back ofc Cheap Parking nearby

Best arabian food in Sheffield very tasty and cheap and fastly served

The food is quite authentic, tastes really good. What sets it apart is the ambience makes you feel like you are sitting in Yemen and eating it. Portion size is worth the money. Quite generous with their portions and chances are you might need a takeaway box. Employees working there are polite and well trained. Kudos to the chef.

Really nice Mediterranean food. Very tasty. Highly recommended

Nice meal for 3 yesterday. Everything cooked fresh and tasty.

The food is delicious, authentic and tasty. I love Diyafa food. Price is reasonable. the soup is Wow!

FOOD POISONING went last night with my friend, we have both been up all night been SICK and FEVER, DIARRHOEA wont ever go again beware. We had chicken curry and egg with chickpeas 2 nans

Very nice food Best Arabic food and very decent staff A treat to eat

The Restaurant is a culinary treasure. The food is exquisite, bursting with flavor and expertly crafted. The ambiance is inviting, and the staff is attentive, making every visit a delight. Highly recommend for an unforgettable dining experience.

Great food, amazing customer service. If you are an explorer and you love to diversify your experience into different cultural cuisine, you must try this place. It is a small restaurant, but with very good quality food.

delicious food, but not enough space.

The foul and bread were super delicious and fulfilling as well as the soup. The meat dish was nice but nothing too special.

Love this place. Mine and my husband's favourite breakfast go to. Nothing beats it after all these years. We usually go for breakfast but they also have nice lunch options. Very hard working people. Food is absolutely delicious. The Arabic Salad is out of this world. Such a nice simple atmosphere inside Ma Sha Allah. May Allah continue to bless and sustain your business.

Always satisfied .. good quality of food and quantity worth the price love it

Nice place and food with reasonable price

EDIT: From 5 stars I had to drop it down to 1 star after being deceived. Be very careful when buying food from this restaurant if you don’t know Yemeni food. Instead of telling me that they don’t have lamb mandi they decided to give me plain boiled meat and passed it off as mandi. Every week I used to order lamb mandi, zorbian and lamb kabsa and I can differentiate between all 3 so i don’t know who they thought they are trying to deceive. They did apologise but being deceitful and selling an item that you don’t have and then discreetly replacing it with something else which is not even an item on the menu (plain boiled lamb) in the hopes that a customer won’t notice is haraam.

Service was excellent. They gave a complimentary clear soup which was so satisfying in this weather. The portion size is ridiculously huge and definitely worth the money. Can't comment much in terms of taste, as I had only one dish (chicken curry with naan), which was overly tangy for my taste buds. Overall it was a nice experience. P.S. they even have a bidet sprayer in their toilet which is super rare in the UK, and was a pleasant surprise.

My family and I enjoyed it and their food was very good

Food was delicious. Larger portions. Very friendly staff.

Good taste and good prices And good people May God bless you

Too expensive in two thee months he doubled the price

Nice food but sometimes not enough service

The food served is delicious, the staff is very attentive and friendly.

It was an amazing pit-stop, on the way to london… the food was what i needed, I had Lamb kabsah Good portion size Lots of meat 🥩

Great food at a fair price. Basic, no frills decor. Friendly staff and good customer service.

I love their food is delicious , fresh and tasty. Very good stuff as well, not far from my house and is a social plcae.

Good food but the color added in food items is high

It is an excellent place with delicious food.

Food is very delicious 😋. We were a group of 14 people, staff made arrangements quickly to make a table for us. Had chicken mandi. As we went in late hours lamb items were finished. Definitely going again to try Thier lamb mandi.

Huge portions, great food and very good value for money. Will be coming back next time i am in Sheffield.

Everthing is a 10/10 is the place special the stuff there are kind and friendly

Lovely spot, great portion size, fast service and lovely people.

A Yemeni restaurant with delicious food and very fast service. We ordered mandi meat, the meat was kind of heated and it looked delicious, and the grilled fish was fresh and grilled in an excellent way.

A Yemeni restaurant that I recommend. The food is beautiful 🤩 The staff are all nice

It is a good restaurant with a very good menu at a good price.

Year ago I recommended this restaurant and I gave 5 stars, unfortunately, I visited the restaurant yesterday day for dinner, I give it 1 star because what we ate was something has names of yemeni food but not yemeni food, the food quality was very bad. Disappointing 😞

Lovely food, service, and atmosphere...

Probably the best middle eastern food in sheffield, with very generous portion on meals which also comes with lamb soup and free flow water as a standard. One thing to note though, this place often received large group booking so for people with certain kind of disability, it will be wiser to have it delivered

Came here with some uni mates for lunch. Food was delicious and portions were large. Small and cozy, not the best looking location but the quality makes up for it. Very authentic feel. Pricing was acceptable for what you get.

Absolutely delicious food....❤️

Great Arabic food suitable prices

The food is delicious and the service is good

Average food and average service. Lamb mandi was below average.

Absolutely delicious food of Authentic Arabic Style.

Great value for money. Nice food and very kind staff. A hidden Sheffield jewell.

Great cuisine, I'm glad I was there to try it. The people working the restaurant are nice and welcoming.

Great food at great prices. Love the tea, 5 star

Delicious, hearty, friendly, reasonable prices don't waste your time go there 🤤😋🤤😋
