Queen of Sheba in City of London, Westminster

Good food, good service and value for money. Went with my friends from Dubai they enjoyed the food and service. Good and polite staff. I will recommend this restaurant for families.

اخي صاحب المطعم انا مقيم في المملكه العربيه السعوديه اشتغل في مطعم مظغوط وكبسات من افضل المطاعم في الرياض اذا تبي معلم انا مستعد تعال خاص اوريك التفاصيل

I came across this place while looking for a place to have dinner, I didn't want to get too far away from my hotel in Sussex Gardens so this was perfect, just a couple of streets away. I don't mind a bite of oriental food every now and then, so I thought I could give this place a try. Eating out by yourself, as a female, can be awkward but I am used to it, however I was made to feel very welcome. I seem to remember I order tabuli salad, however they must hvae mixed up my order, I was given something completely different. I made the waiter aware of this and was then given the food I had ordered. The salad was lovely and it was a big enough portion size. I will certainly go back to this place when I am in the area again.

Delicious food.Really enjoyed the rice kabsa ! Would recommend to anyone who wants to a wholesome meaty dish.

Excellent food and service Authentic Yemeni dishes, good value for money Desert was huge!!! Will be back soon

We were looking for something a bit different for dinner. I ordered the Chicken Aqda which was to com with rice and bread. My wife had Shish Tawook with tabuli salad. The food was good. The bread is huge but they put my rice on my wife’s plate. Our canned soft drinks were delivered without glasses As others have noted, service is terrible. We were seated, given menus and ignored. One of the staff stood by arms folded as if no one was in the restaurant. Finally as my wife put on her coat to leave Someone else came to take our order.

Great food with awesome service. I have never eaten Middle Eastern food and this was epic. I could not believe how much there was. The best thing was is that I saw most things on the menu were from the Middle East.

Highly recommend this family friendly restaurant. The staff are great and very attentive. The food is so delicious and full of flavour. We had enough food to pack and take home for the next day.

Their food was absolutely amazing, taste is top. I will definitely be visiting again!! And highly recommend this restaurant if you want top quality food.

بصراحة اكلهم رووووعه .. الطعم لذيذ وكل شي على اصوله .. والاسعار جيدة .. اقدر اقول انه افضل مطعم في لندن Best restaurant in London!! Food was spectacular!!

اسوا اكل يمني اكلته في حياتي ..ماانصح بالزيارة ابدا..طلبت شفوت و كبسة و فحسه ولا اكله منهم مزبوطة شي مو معقول ..لو تبغا تخسر ٤٠ باوند على اكل مايستاهل روح المطعم

مطعم يمني مميز في وسط لندن تمت تجربة اكلات يمنيه مختلفه وكان الاكل لذيذ ومميز واسعاره ممتازه وشكر خاص للاخ أبو أحمد مالك المطعم على الترحيب بنا والشكر لكل من يقوم بادارة المطعم وقد كررنا الزياره اكثر من مره في خلال يومين ، انصح وأوصي بزيارته.

Wonderful welcoming introduction to Yemeni food. Bread is delicious and has great soups, spreads, kebabs and rice dishes.

Impeccable experience when I organised a work dinner for 12. Super accommodating service from Sofia, all smoothly organised, delicious food and big portions - we ordered Yebeg We't and Misir Alich'a We't! They also threw in extra for free. Thoroughly recommend.

This restaurant serves the best rice and meat in town. It's always a pleasure to dine at Queen of Sheba or even order take-away. If you haven't tried authentic Yemeni cuisine please come and try, you won't be disappointed. This is the best place to go for all my friends and family.

A large group of us decided to meet here after 3.5 years and catch up, and we were greeted by the owner of the restaurant Ali, who made sure we had everything we needed, and went above and beyond to provide us excellent customer service! A genuinely warm ambience to enjoy some tasty Yemeni food, we will be back!

I have spent time working in the Middle East, particularly the south of Saudi Arabia near the border of Yemen, and my wife is Yemeni. I feel this qualifies me to fairly review the food here. You will not find more authentic Yemeni food in London, period. We ordered the Mendi, mugalgal (stew) and hummus with traditional Yemeni bread. The food came promptly and with a smile. It tasted incredibly fresh (the bread came out piping hot) and the mugalgal was served in a pot that demonstrated it was cooked in the authentic way. The lamb was tender and moist, and the flavouring on the rice was exceptional. We were asked twice if everything was okay with the meal, and served complimentary tea. They bring both the food and the hospitality of Yemen to London. Must visit!

Went to Queen of Sheba for my younger brothers birthday and really enjoyed the food, service and interior decor! We ordered the mendhi lahm (slow cooked lamb) which was flavourful, tender and literally slid off the bone! Our server Rayan was very polite and really treated us like family. The decor inside was very well put together making us feel like we were transported to the Middle East during our visit. Highly recommend !

This is Yemeni cuisine, not the sort of thing you come across often.Huge portions, reasonably priced and excellent service (the middle eastern chap and the east European lady, I think). Nothing was too much trouble for them.We ordered soup and starters, then different sorts of meats and chicken that we shared. The portions were quite large, so ordering soup and starters was probably a mistake! The price was also reasonable for London

The food was excellent and very tasty and the portions were a huge enough to feed two people .The only thing that was a disappointment was the lack of service .the waiter who greeted the thin guy with the beard did not speak English very well and told us when we walked in to “sit there “ .we did not see him for another 10 minutes even though the restaurant was empty .he walk passed and we had to usher him over to take our order which we had to point out on the menu . We ordered the starter and main course at the same time clearly telling him about the starters first .he bought all the food at the same time with no plates or cutlery on the table .we had to call him back for that as well .My wife asked him for a cafe latte 3 times which never came until the boss of the restaurant came over to ask us how our food was and he personally bought over the coffee and apologised.This place is a hidden gem with fab food however the staff need some training in customer service .

As a staff at St Mary's Hospital I find coming here very relaxing atmosphere, has sections for family and also privacy tiles for an authentic traditional yemeni feel. Loved the yogurt and salad. Highly recommend it. If you also specify to have the food on a platter to share the portion is VERY generous. Keep up the amazing quality and service guys!

Chicken was good as well are the portion sizes. However there was one area of contention in that the lamb was dry and when this was mentioned there was really no recourse and given the limited number of covers currently you would think they would care a little more. Shame really as else would have recommend but a place is also know by how they rectify any complaints or issues.

Fui uno de los primeros clientes de Queen of Sheeba en probar el sabor único de la cocina de Yemen, hace más de 15 años.He comido repetidamente en Queen of Sheeba casi todos los meses durante unos 15 años.Uno tiene que viajar por Yemen y la isla de Socotra para probar cómo es realmente la cocina yemení.No dudo en decir que la cocina yemení de Queen of Sheeba es mejor en Londres que en Yemen. Siempre reservo medio cordero o cordero entero, un plato verdaderamente único sin igual, incluso en Yemen. Alternativamente, una variedad de entrantes no te decepcionará. Take Aways también muy recomendable. Dr. A V.

The food was poor. No flavour at all. The meat, chicken and fish were very dry. The only decent thing was the lamb soup. The hummus was the worst.

Anoche, terminamos nuestra visita a Londres en el restaurante Queen of Sheba. ¡Y qué manera de terminar! !El servicio fue excelente, la comida estaba impecable y el ambiente era perfecto para aquellos que les gusta absorber la cultura y la tradición yemení mientras comen sabrosa comida yemení.Bien hecho por alcanzar un alto nivel de servicio y entregar auténtica cocina yemení.Arwa + Aliyah

La comida es buena, pregunte a los observadores por alguna indicación en el menú. Un montón de carne de cordero y pollo, arroz, aderezo picante. El aderezo de yogur en el arroz es muy, muy bueno. El pan de la forma en que se usa Oriente Medio para cocinar también es imprescindible.El servicio podría ser mejor y más amable.

Popular with locals, friendly staff but veggie options restricted to some sides and starters. Nice soups but veg was tinned/frozen in a sauce.

ran into this arabic restaurant to escape the shower after performing Friday prayers at the Masjid Salahuddin nearby. Ordered lamb soup and hot honey lemon drink. The soup came with a huge lamb drumstick sticking out invitingly. Savoured the hot soup first, its flavour attacking my tastebud which asked for more. Dived into the meat, separating the morsel from the bone as it came off obediently to the carving of the fork. The meat was so tender i thought this must be a baby lamb; conscience sufficiently assuaged that the word baby is just a fancy word for young (dont want to be accused of infanticide!). It was a delectable meal, hot soup and hot drink that brought warmth and satisfaction to me tummy. Excellent!

Warm welcome close to Paddington station. Plenty of lovely choices on the menu but all aubergine or lamb dishes seen nice. Huge, fresh, breads that are fantastic and difficult to stop eating.

Tried mandi and best I have had in London so far. Good place to catch up with friends. Limited parking space.

Went in with a few people from work after walking past and seriously some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. Lovely atmosphere and nice staff. Mixed grill was to die for. Will be returning next week!

Nos gusta viajar por comida ((insta @ travelutionman)) y, a propósito, alquilamos un Airbnb al otro lado de la calle de este increíble restaurante para deleitarnos con la auténtica comida yemení.La comida: deliciosa! Me hace viajar a esos días en los que disfrutamos de las comidas caseras de nuestras abuelas. La Helba ((griego fino)) la carne de Madfoun ((arroz y carne ahumada)) y no olvide el Massoob ((avena de plátano - pan con miel)) como postre. Oh Dios. . Escribir sobre esto me hace querer volver otra vez.El servicio: amable! El personal aquí es amable y una vez que te conozcan, te harán sentir como en casa. Te llamarán por tu nombre ((como el programa Cheers:))Los propietarios siempre están ahí para asegurar su satisfacción.El ambiente: tradicional! Los restaurantes yemeníes no son lujosos, ¡pero esos son los mejores! La decoración, iluminaciones y techo. . todas tienen un hermoso toque yemení que te hará sentir cómodo.Una última cosa, si planeas comer aquí, ¡ven con hambre porque disfrutarás de cada bocado!

Restaurant proposant des spécialités yéménites et orientales. C’est la deuxième fois que je m’y rendais et la deuxième fois que la nourriture est vraiment excellente. Cadre sobre, musique un peu bruyante (quand ce n’est pas du sport) à la TV. Mais c’est à l’image de l’endroit. Simple, sans trop de prétention mais très bon pour un prix raisonnable et une carte assez unique dans son genre (spécialités yéménites)

If you want to try traditional Yemeni food without no fuss. This place has to be the one to try. We went on a Sunday after a lazy Sunday walking around. The waiters were very helping in helping me choose an authentic Yemeni dish-which was full of flavour and tender lamb pieces.

Estuve el viernes en Queen of Sheba para celebrar el día de la boda de un amigo. La comida era fantástica, el servicio era genial. Las cosas son muy amables. En realidad nos hacen sentir como en casa. La experiencia en general fue inolvidable y este restaurante estará en nuestra lista principal cuando necesitemos comida adecuada de Medio Oriente.

Parecía un poco intimidante caminar aquí en una tarde fría y oscura. Parecía estar lleno de hombres y está bastante oscuro por dentro.

todos los 4 platos que pedí eran celestiales, pero más notablemente, tuve las mejores y más genuinas conversaciones con todo el personal durante todo mi viaje a Londres. son cálidos, divertidos, amables y encantadores, especialmente el camarero de Túnez que estaba en mi mesa y el hijo del propietario yemení. (Si lees esto, el libro sobre el niño yemení de San Francisco que descubre las raíces de la industria del café en Yemen se llama "monje de Mokha", ¡tienes que leerlo!) Gracias por la mejor comida y experiencia, todos en reina de Saba

Estábamos alojados en un hotel cercano y teníamos un gusto por la comida del Medio Oriente. Estábamos indecisos en el lugar iraquí al otro lado de la calle o Sheba. Vi a los hombres mayores fumando las hookas afuera y pensé que se veía encantador. Ojalá hubiéramos comido en el lugar iraquí. El personal no es amable. No una sonrisa. Nos acomodaron de inmediato y nuestro servidor fue rápido en traer bebidas y pedidos. Pero, no una sonrisa. Lo bueno es que la comida es muy razonable y se obtiene mucha comida. Pedí un curry yemení que en su mayoría carecía de sabor. Mi otra mitad ordenó un pollo frito yemení de especialidad y KFC podría hacerlo mejor. Una vez más, carece de mucho sabor. Nos proporcionaron una generosa porción de pan plano yemení que estaba caliente y fresco. El hummus que lo acompañaba era bastante aburrido y carecía de hierbas o sabores interesantes. Luego tuvimos problemas para llamar la atención del personal para obtener nuestro cheque. Mi sugerencia, tome un pase en este lugar.

I'm a regular (well twice a year 'cause I like to visit all Ethiopian restaurants in London) and have 'til now considered it one of London's best. So I invited friends along a few evenings back and booked ahead, confident that they'd have good food and a nice experience. They forgot to record my booking however but it didn't seem to matter: there was space for us. We ordered beers and a mixed platter (meat, veg, pulses) for 2-3 and had loads, even if it contained two portions of chicken. Our need for extra Injera was anticipated before we needed to ask for more. But the food wasn't as tasty/spicy as previously and the injera was too bland. To be honest it was all a bit too tame for my liking. My friends enjoyed it however. Guess it's a taste thing.

Un salto para un almuerzo rápido mientras cruza Londres, siempre quise conocer este lugar y fue totalmente la pena, puedo decir honestamente que el plato que pedimos resultó ser una de las mejores comidas que he tenido y sin duda volveré a por más. No es caro, es en una buena zona y por dentro es muy auténtico y confortable.

الديكور روعه لكن الاكل من عادي الى سيء كذا مره نزوره اذا كان حد متوصي بك كانت الخدمه ممتازه واذا رحت بدون توصيه الله المستعان حتى الشاي الحليب ان طلبته يجي كانه مسخن له فتره من الصبح !!انت تدفع حتى تلاقي شي مقابل مادفعته مش شاي من حق الصبح يسخنه والا الحلبه سوداء والظاهر خبطها شوي وقربها فالخدمه سيئة والاقرب انه يكون مقهى يتفنن بتقديم الشيشه بدل ان يكون مطعم يمني اصيل لان مافيه الا ديكوره والنكهه اليمنية غايبة للاسف

If you missed your home country and need to change your mood and became nostalgic for a while you came for the right place.

This place has always seemed daunting to me. I think it’s to do with the fact that there are always groups of men smoking shesha outside and hardly ever any women.

Went to the restaurant today with a very close Yemeni friend. I have also lived a long time in the Middle East and know Yemeni food. The food was authentic and overall tasty but the service was horrible. Totally unprofessional. Also the bathroom was shockingly dirty. If you want to try Yemeni food which is a varied delicious and wholesome cuisine please do but I don’t recommend THIS restaurant. Find another place to experience the cuisine of Yemen a truly fascinating country.

Waiters rarely came near the table, never checked if everything was OK or if we needed something. They didn't even clear the table before serving the dessert. We had to ask for it to be done. Even then they did not clear it completely or wipe it. They could have been a lot more helpful with understanding the menu, too. Food was good, but they really need to train the staff.

Ristorante yemenita di discreta qualità. Non ho mangiato male, ma nulla di straordinario.

Food is perfect .owner of place is allways checking things.make sure to ask for food to be hot.bread is ausm borm is great

Dropped in by coincidence, but we really liked it. Great food, in fact too much, but we could live with that. Nice staff, but it took a bit time before we could order.

Fui con un grupo de amigos a probar comida yemenita. Este es un encantador restaurante, el servicio es atento y amable. Compartimos un entrante que fue varias salsas, etc., berenjena humous con pan plana típico de la comida del medio oriente. Los platos principales eran más inusuales. Algunos de nosotros tuvimos vegetariano guisos que son bastante sopa sabrosa con v de arroz. Platos de Carne también eran como los guisos. Los sabores son dulces, con un montón de especias. Comimos el estilo europeo comida pero otros comensales compartido los platos con cucharas de meter al Era la noche del sábado y fue constantemente ocupado pero Siete de nosotros nos sirven sin reserva. Prueba el zumos de fruta fresca, limón y menta es deliciosa, tés y cafés yemenita también bueno.

There is something very sweet about the place. One is made to feel at home.All the dishes are good and the service slow but good. I can recommend the hummus!

Mi amigo nos recomendó este restaurante, así que pensé que le daría una oportunidad y a lo largo de unos amigos invitaron para iftar. (rápido). Estoy bastante seguro de que terminé en el restaurante equivocado. Estoy 99% de que mi amigo nunca recomendaría una comida...

This place is a joke the owners are rude and the workers follow suit ... the food is terrible for iftar I'm pretty sure the food was from the day before and the quality of meat was terrible ... homeless shelters have better quality of food than queen Sheba .

In central london I would say it's one of the most unique Yemeni/Saudi cuisine restaurant. It has a very traditional looking ambience. Can improve big time on service. Staff definitely needs training.Food not everything is great but my recommendation and likes are as follows :Can't go wrong with and must try Mandi or Even Kabsa both chicken and lamb. Bamiya / okra Fish Makhbaza is just about ok There are plenty of other Yemeni dishes which I can't say anything as yet to try. As I am a non smoker didn't try the Sheesha but they do serve it.Hope you guys enjoy ..

Me and my friends were treated so badly. The staff were so rude. Our food taste awful. One dish was actually burnt. Waiters basically dropped the dish on our table, genuinely I've never felt so much hostility from someone before. We are were not rude; we were very polite. Maybe it was a bad day, but judging from the other reviews I've seen, it seems that you either get treated wonderfully (like the others in the restaurant) or you get treated like dirt. Bit of a coin flip that one...

We went on a Sunday night and it was busy.The Food is tasty and the service is friendly and efficient. I would recommend:* Fish Makhbaza - whole sea bass marinated in Aden special spices grilled on charcoal served with rice, salad or cooked bread. * Satlah-lamb soup cooked with pieces of meat shaweq, houlbai, eggs & fresh coriander. Taste nice with bread.TIP: You will be able to find some parking spots in the side roads. Best to go on Sunday due to

Netter Service und sehr gastfreundlich. Restaurant wird augenscheinlich vorwiegend von Landsleuten besucht . Fühlten uns aber überhaupt nicht fremd. Liebhaber der arabischen Küche werden hier nicht enttäuscht.Wird beim nächsten Londonbesuchbestimmt wieder berücksichtigt.

We had the fish and lamb mehdi. Was amazing and really enjoyed. Sweet dish was great too. Great atmosphere and definitely recommend.

The fish was amazing and very large for the price. Overall food was tasty and good. Will go back and would recommend to friends

مطعم جيد يقدم اكلات يمنية منوعةصراحة مرقة اللحم ممتازة ماتنفوت هذه احلى مافي المطعم بقية الاكل عادي لايستحق العناء له

We went on a Eid day and it was very very busy and the service and food were very average and the prices were very high for what you got. The place was overcrowded and they kept letting people in and it all felt very rushed and disorganised. I would give it a miss and enjoy mendi rice elsewhere.

جودة الاكل متوسطه جدا والاكل عادي وغير لذيذ .. والخدمه في المطعم غير احترافيه ابدا ومره حصلت الموظفين يتهاوشون قدام الزباين !! المطعم يملك موقع مميز لكن يحتاج شيف جديد يرفع مستوى وجودة الاكل

They talk very rude. They don't know how to respect their customers at all. Their attitude was as if they own the whole world. Felt belittled even though we were paying for our food.

I had been to this Yemeni restaurant before over the years. I was attending 3-days of training with my employer so decided to dine there solo. I chose the humus and bread. The humus could have done with a little more oil and the bread was not included but another £3.50! , I ordered buried Mandi (lamb), I know my Arabic food, the meat was soft and the portion size good but the rice was dry and could have done with more oil/ butter. I tried to engage in conversation with the staff but they were indifferent and couldn't be bothered which was very sad. I would go again but the price of £20 for what I had was steep and my opinion of the place has gone down a bit!

Food was ok..had to wait for a long time and very bland. It is okay I suppose if you like something plain ..but me personally i prefere something more flavoursome and also varied.

Food was alright, not great but since it was recommended by our close friend - we thought why not try it. The mandi lamb was really bland but assumed that's how it actually taste in Yemen (maybe).As we were the first to come into the shop when it opens, immediately you can see that the waiter seems so reluctant to serve us. Throughout the experience, it's like we have to be the one who's got to be friendly to request for the order or the bills when it should be the other way around and I wonder who is the customer. My last straw was that after the meal, and we want to pay using the card - he said that they don't accept card when it's clear signage on the door. Would expect him to tell us earlier and luckily we have enough cash to pay the bill. Upsetting and I would definitely not come back for that kind of services.

We're going to a gig over the road at the London Forum and a visit here is a tradition from many years ago. Popped in about 7 without a booking but got us a table as we would be quick. By the time we left no spare tables. Great food and service with useful tips and advice, even cooked a off menu dish for one of us. Castel beer worth trying. Will be back before the next gig.

Had dinner here, the portions are very generous, the decor is nice. The service was terrible, they forgot to bring the dish of someone at the table, although there were many waiters they seemed so busy they would ignore us every time we made sign. I did not like the food but that could well be personal taste. I had an indigestion after dinner. The loo was flooded and not clean.

Food was ok. Nothing special but I didn't try everything.I went to the toilet around 7 pm and I preferred not to use it. Plenty of water on the floor and no toilet paper available.The service was the worse thing in my opinion. Many guys working there but I had to ask for the same things several times.I am happy to have tried as I love try new cuisines but honestly I don't recommend it.

Came in with a few friends in the hope we would have a good sheesha, as the rest of edgeware road serves the worst sheesha in London! I ordered a lemon and mint, turned out I was smoking Orange and mint. Once I asked the waiter to change it his response was Orange is the same as lemon.... for a regular sheesha smoker that's not what you want to hear! Then his response was maybe we are out of lemon, the excuses kept on coming! Never again, avoid at all costs if you want a pleasant sheesha evening. Unless your Arab then you'll get five star service!

Between Edgware Road and Paddington, I will return again with the whole family. The best Capsa in London.

يمتاز المطعم بموقعه في وسط ادجور رود (شارع العرب )، أيضا لديهم طاقم عمل ذو احترافية عالية لتحضير أشهى الأكلات الشعبية الخليجية والعربية . يعيب على المكان المساحة الصغيرة مقارنة مع شهرة المطعم.

Stopped here for a shisha after dinner. The service was very friendly and the place seemed popular with lots of people relaxing outside with a shisha. We chose a cherry shisha and a mint tea, both were very pleasant and what I liked about this place was there was no rush to finish and order more or leave like I find with some places like this.

المطعم وبكل أسف تعبان اسم مندي ما انصح فيه للي يحب يأكل مندي .. ديكور المطعم جيد بسيط والخدمة متوسطة الي بيروح يأكل فيه يروح للتجربة فقط

Situated in the side streets of Edgware Road, this restaurant was a great find a way from the hustle and bustle of the main road. The portions are generous and delicious. The oversized bread is a must! If going in the evening, there is parking usually available on single yellow line which is an added bonus compared to the main road.Service was excellent too. Definitely going there again!

Had a really nice meal here. Main meals were served up on a large Ethiopian bread and you tore off bits of bread to scoop it up and eat it. The food delicious & the service was excellent. I had not had Ethiopian food before so was quite intrigued by this place - hence the visit. We were not disappointed!Pricewise we thought it was very reasonable and definitely worth what we paid.

I was craving some Ethiopian food and after some serious research decided to try this place out ! I have to say I was not disappointed. The decor and service and mainly the food and beer choices really reminded me of being back in the eastern horn of Africa! Friendly staff just wave to grab their attention and I would recommend going in a mid size group! The interior is small so if you are in in a big group you will probably have to sit slightly separately but its small enough for all of you to chat away.

Le cadre est tout à fait charmant et le service des plus convivial ! On y mange des caviar d'aubergine, houmous ... à tomber ! Et que dire du baby chicken ?!!! C'est tendre, goutteux et le riz au citron est tout juste incroyable ! Nous y retournons à chacune de nos visites à Londres ! Une très belle adresse !

Typical Indian food, good but expensive . One price for the mAin course and the more for everything more we should eat.

Non mi sarei mai immaginato un giorno di trovarmi in un ristorante yemenita. Pensavo che queste cose accadessero solo nella fantasia dei romanzi. Invece esiste. Per trovarlo andate alla stazione di Paddington e poi sono pochi passi a piedi nel quartiere arabo. Non preoccupatevi. L'ambiente è tranquillo e ci si muove liberamente. Il posto è pulito (secondo lo standard locale, almeno) e si mangia bele. Per i più audaci un giro di narghile. Io non l'ho provato perché non fumo, ma anche perché ho notato che i diversi clienti non ricevevano un bocchino pulito... a voi la scelta.

Absolutely stunning service food very good I thought I'm home in an amazing atmosphere tried a lot of dishes can't recommend any they are all perfect

On ne peut pas dire que le sourire et l'accueil du client soit la qualité essentielle. On a vraiment l'air d'embêter le personnel. Ils sont 5 en salle et ne se disputent pas pour venir à table: nos boissons sont restées plus de 10 minutes sur la desserte avant qu'on ne se décide à les amener. Le riz légume est agréable et copieux. Pour ma part accompagné par des côtelettes d'agneaux complètement carbonisées. Le plat végétal de ma femme était d'un goût suspect. Mauvaise expérience, il doit il y avoir moyen de trouver mieux et plus sympathique.

What's good?- Halal- Wide selection of food in the menu- Reasonably priced - husband and I went there and got Turkish coffee, two Lipton teas with fresh mint, Yemeni bread, two mince lamb skewers with rice and fried aubergine with garlic and onions, fattat mouaz (like a bread and butter pudding but with banana, honey, Yemeni bread and cream) totalled £27.50- Good portions- Fantastic flavours- family-friendly (they even have a baby changing unit downstairs but no ramp for buggy)- toilets are modern, beautifully decorated and well-kept- service is prompt- it's just off Praed Street in PaddingtonWhat's bad?- potentially crammed if you have a buggy but we were lucky we managed to get the buggy in- there was no ramp, so hard to get the buggy in

Food was okay, nothing special, and it wasn't very expensive. Service was pretty bad but it usually is in Middle Eastern restaurants

Went there for the first time last night with a mate. This place was recommended to me by a work colleage who raved about the Mandi Laham (lamb with rice). We got ourselves (2 of us) 2 main dishes and 2 starters.The serving was super generous, we didn't end up eating it all and felt really full in the end. The cost was acceptable at 20 quid per head (we also had soft drinks in our order). They did not serve alcohol, but there's a pub across the road if you're looking to have a drink.The service I found to be really good, our waiter was very friendly and had a chat to us about the football (England v France was shown on telly).Would gladly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is up for some Yemeni food.

I've been to this resturant more than once, they serve a tasty Yemeni and Middle Easter food. The food is great, prices are acceptable and the atmosphere is purely Arabic off Edgware Road for those who are visiting London and wants special Arab/Yemeni fresh food.

My friends and I had a lunch there, we ordered a (Mandi lamb), bread, and soup. The food was delicious. The waitresses services were good but they weren't friendly with their attitude. They need to take care of the bathroom services like soap and tissues were missing. You always need to check your bill before paying. In general I will visit it again because I like the food it's my favourite.

Firstly my friend and I , We decided to go to this restaurant as we wanted to eat Yemeni food very much , and as I am Yemeni food fan , I wanna mention that I had many times Yemeni Food and I know it very well and I know they Yemeni reception too. so to make it shortly the restaurant itself was nice decoration , I have order "Slata" its vey hot Yemeni dish but unfortunately was very cold and horrible test , for my friend was "Kabsa" rice with meat which is bad test ... bread , hummus all was totally bad bad .. the service itself was like you are in the public markt .. what I can say that totally not Yemeni food and not Yemeni way .. but if you are the person who wanna try awful things go here ..

Ive been to this place couple of times and till now this is my fav place for food and sisha togeather..I like their laham Mandi a lot.. meat is soo awesome one cant describe in words.. it melts in your mouth..Staff looks after you and welcomes you with a big smile.. Sisha they do is one of the best i can say for sure..Over all you will be satisfied with this restaurant.

Stumbled on this place by accident but not surprised it is still going after many years. Good food, service and value for money. I would definitely return when in London!

Soup before drink, drink only after asking, soup cold, main dish arrived when I was halfway through with the soup. They seem to prefer watching TV than care for customers.

In an area where there are tons of middle eastern restaurants, this is a standout. You have to love lamb; little else on the menu. The portion sizes were huge. The service was friendly. I would return for sure.

I am slightly bemused by the other reviews of this restaurant so let me recount my experience.First of all, the service was very good. As soon as we arrived, we explained to the waiting staff that we had a theatre show to go to in an hour and if we could have our food quickly. No problem. The waiters were very friendly wish us and were impressed by our menu choices, asking if we had been to Yemen before. They were also very helpful in explaining the confusing bread selection as there are a number of different breads listed and it wasn't clear how they differed from the menu.We ordered barbecued fish and saltah, which is a traditional Yemeni stew made with lamb. It was spiced with chilli and fresh coriander. Yemeni food in general is quite hot compared to other Arab cuisines. We both enjoyed our meals.A final comment is that the restaurant is very nicely decorated inside and you hardly feel that you are on the streets of London when you are inside.

Ate here with my husband to tick off the Y of our alphabet eating by country (more on that in other reviews) - now we've done that that we won't be returning. We were tucking into our shared mixed starter plate with some relish - a generous plate of 4 dips, tabbouleh and salad with a large bread when suddenly two bowls of hot food arrived on the table ... oh that one is the lamb the waiter explained. He returned with the rice and then disappeared. As we were no more than 1/4 way into our starter I was somewhat stunned. There are two TVs showing the football in the restaurant (inaudibly thank goodness) but we could only guess that the chef or waiters wanted to rush us through so they could watch the footie. Anyway we finished our starters and then moved onto the mains which were by this point completely cold. I'm vegetarian and my chosen dish was "vegetarian curry". The dish comprised of potatoes in a thick tomato sauce - no discernable spice and definitely unlike any curry I've eaten from any country. My husband's lamb dish apparently also tasted only of tomato - even the lamb bits. The rice was tasty - with cardamon pods and other spices it was a generous portion and spelt great. It was to be honest the most appetising bit of the meal. We decided to give up - asked for the bill - which was a surprise when it arrived too. I asked the waiter to explain the bill and he started with the mix starter and bread which we'd ordered. When I explained that we didn't order starter with the bread he removed that item. I asked him about the vegetable dish - and that I was a little surprised that the only vegetable in it was potato. He said it was called vegetable as it has no chicken and no meat in it - appreciating this helpful explanation I shared my surprise that there was only potato and no spicing. Unfortunately no more helpful explanations were offered. After we'd paid a gentleman appeared who I am guessing was the manager. He was very polite and apologetic that we appear not to have enjoyed the meal and offered us a free tea. I'm afraid we declined as this didn't change our unenjoyable dining experience and his arrival was too late to have fixed any of the problems. I can't recommend this restaurant as I found the service poor and the food cold and not tasty.

Il ristorante é in una laterale di Praed Street, a poche decine di metri dalla stazione di Paddington. Ambiente piacevole. Cucina yemenita e mediorientale. Ottimi antipasti, soprattutto quelli a base di melanzane, buoni i piatti principali, soprattutto quelli accompagnati da un riso a chicchi lunghissimi e cotto in modo perfetto. Qualche sorriso in più dei camerieri ed una attenzione maggiore ai clienti abituali non guasterebbe. Alla terza sera di seguito ci hanno rifilato qualche piatto non proprio fatto al momento e sbagliato una ordinazione. Niente alcolici. Prezzi modici per Londra.

Different eating experience for us as we've never had Yemeni food before. I love lamb, which was just as well as there wasn't an awful lot else on the menu! It was, though, very tender and tasty. Very large portions - too big really. My only criticism was that the staff who served us, although very friendly, didn't seem to be familiar with the menu, and were unable to explain what the dishes were, so we weren't sure what it was we were going to be getting! Would certainly visit again.

Terrible experience in this place.the food was poor and it come out at different times, the service was very unfriendly and we found difficult to order as the staff didn't speak english(r we in London?).we waited ages for the bill so we told the manager that if the bill didn't arrive in the next five we will leave without pay.When we confronted the manager regarding the bad experience he didn't look bother at all.please choose a different restaurant as this one is not worthy your money and time.

Firstly we, family of four, booked a table from the day before, when we got there we were not greeted and the waiter looked confused when we said we made a reservation even though the restaurant was empty. We were seated as if they were doing us a favour! The decor was quite nice, traditional Yemeni decor but the restaurant had a horrible smell of bleach, not the fresh bleach that makes you think it's clean but that smell of bleach which has been mixed with dirty water....a bit like a toilet smell although it looked clean.Onto the service, two young attractive girls came in after us and were greeted wonderfully and seated immediately, their food came out even before we got a chance to order!! It was evident that they were favouritised. After a while the waiter finally took our order, his English wasn't great but neither was his Arabic (we speak fluently in English and Arabic Yemeni dialect). We ordered our food and 40 minutes later our meals arrived!! My main frustration...the waiter came with our fatta mouaz (famous bread and banana dish)...it was smothered in cream, my brother informed the waiter that this was not what we ordered and that he is lactose intolerant, the waiter immediately seemed annoyed and said "we did not specify which one we wanted". We explained that we just ordered the normal fatta mouaz and did not ask for the option with the cream (which is more expensive). My brother kindly asked if this could be changed due to his lactose intolerance but the waiter said it was not possible to change it and that if we wanted a plain one (as we ordered) he would have to charge us again for this! We decided not to bother as it was a special occasion and we wanted to have an enjoyable experience...although it was not what we ordered it was actually nice with the cream but it's principle!!The main courses were just okay...decent size portions but a tad over priced. The meat is very tender and falls apart. The tradition Yemeni bread was a let down, for £4.50 just for 1 piece it was not worth it.THIS IS NOT GENUINE YEMENI FOOD! We are all from Yemen and were disappointed. Only recommendation is the Kabsa Lahem which was the best meal ordered out of the four.Food menu online is differently priced from the restaurant, it's more expensive when you get there so this is false advertisement!The manager/owner seemed nice, he came to us once to check if everything was okay.We will definitely not be going back. It's a shame this is the only Yemeni restaurant I know of in London.

Can honestly say that I did not really enjoy this meal. To be fair, we did not know what we were ordering and the waiter did not speak the best English so we have some really oily soup which stained clothes and some quite dry rice. We will stick with Indian, I think.
