Very delicious, rich flavor, authentic Yemeni. Many dishes that are simply 10/10. I tend here 3-4x per week. Chicken kebsa and lamb fahsa are my go to's
Hospitable dining experience with generous portions??Truly delicious authentic Yamani dishes. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. ( Ebrahim was very nice) Highly recommended for everyone craving tasty food?
Felt like local yemen food! Average maintained restaurant! Mandi taste is good and lamb pieces are tender and soft! Felt too much oil in everything!
I like coming here the food is great service is good
I called this place an order, and the first guy who answered said they were closed—even though we called 40 minutes before their listed closing time. After some back and forth, they finally took my order for pickup. As for the food, it was just okay. It kind of felt like they gave us the “last order of the day” vibe, so maybe that affected the quality. I’ll give them one more try and see if it was just an off day.
Amongst middle eastern food around the area, this yemeni food is by far one of my favorate. The owner himself, aside from being so humble and bubbly, you get to see his side in loving what he do for living. I admire him as he is, he knows his product and introduces us each time we dine in, and just love the fact that their food prices are very economical compare to other restaurants around them. Will definitely come back with our friends again ?
We were really excited to come back to Shibam Restaurant after countless amazing experiences at another branch, but this visit was a letdown. We drove almost 90 minutes for a meal, only to get cold, dry, burnt lamb chops , rice and hummus. When we asked for it to be reheated, it came back just as bad. The staff even tried to tell us that they are giving us FREE meat. The food was nothing like what we remembered, and honestly, it was pretty disappointing. The staff was nice, but we won’t step in again.
Awesome arabian food. Shibam city has a unique flavor compared to the other Mediterranean restaurants which is from Yemen. They have many options to try from. I loved the taste of the meat dishes and the quantity provided. Will definitely go again to try different dishes. Update(2020): There are some chances that you may not receive the order as you ordered as they take the order but the time you go pickup, they say that item is not there anymore and I have to either wait another 30 mins or take something else. Happened twice with me. They should take orders only if they can fulfill the order.
