Mandi House مطعم بيت المندي اليمني لوس انجلس

We had a wonderful experience at Beit Al Mandi Al Yemeni. The food was absolutely delicious and very authentic. We were a group of 6 people, and each person paid around $35, which was totally worth it for the quality and quantity. We ordered two mandi lamb dishes, haneeth, okra, gravy, and a variety of salads. Everything was flavorful, well-cooked, and very satisfying. Special thanks to Amani, who provided outstanding service. She was extremely kind, respectful, and attentive. Her professionalism and friendly attitude truly made our dining experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great Yemeni food and excellent service. We will definitely come back!

Amazing and Authentic Food! This was a great experience! We went for a birthday dinner with a very large group, and Malik took excellent care of our table. We chose to sit on the floor cushions, which added to the authentic atmosphere. However, if you prefer, they also have regular tables. Just a heads-up, if you go for the cushion seating, you'll need to remove your shoes. Everything was incredibly tasty. We started with lentil soup and fattoush salad, both were delicious, and the salad was one of the best I've ever had. For shared sides, we had Mushakal Forn, a fried mixed vegetables, including eggplant and potato. It was absolutely delicious. We also tried the Yemeni kebab, which I highly recommend, as well as their hummus. For the main dish, we went with The Impossible Dish, a mix of lamb and chicken varieties. If you're unsure what to order, this is a great choice. Most dishes also come with a large piece of bread as well. They gave us complimentary tea and coffee since we were a large group. Their traditional tea was incredible, but I wasn't a fan of the coffee. Overall, a must try!

Yemeni hospitality has a warmth and generosity that makes you feel honored to be there. Every dish feels deeply rooted in tradition, rich with perfectly balanced spices and slow-cooked care, as if generations of love were poured into it. The mandi was unbelievably tender and fragrant. My friends and I enjoyed every meal, thank you once again for the amazing hospitality.

It was my first time trying a Yemeni restaurant, and I will definitely repeat the experience when I come back to Los Angeles. Everything was beyond amazing; the mandi, the lamb liver, and the wonderful Yemeni dishes like haneeth, madhbi chicken, and the fattoush salad. The desserts were great too, especially the crème brûlée, along with the lemon mint juice. Thank you so much you truly made us happy. We appreciate your warm hospitality specially Ahmad and thank you for your excellent taste.

Food was amazing!! I've had middle eastern food in the past and this by far has been my best experience. The restaurant itself is nice and clean. I had lamb chops; they were really tasty--even ordered another to go. The bread was delicious as well. I will definitely go back. Such a great find!

I came here with my family yesterday and had a nice experience. Service is pretty slow (we had to wait 30 minutes for someone to take our order- they need a lot more staff than what they had) and the place was very busy but the food was awesome. We ordered the grilled chicken with rice and hradha of shrimp which were very flavorful. Fasolia with eggs was good but a bit bland. The setup is great for sharing food with a large group. Would definitely go again.

Mandi House in LA was such a great experience. The mandi was incredibly flavorful, the meat was tender, and everything felt authentic and comforting. Perfect spot for sharing a hearty meal and really enjoying Yemeni cuisine.

Craving for tasty Mandi in a good atmosphere, Mandi house is the place to visit in LA. Traditional ambiance, tasty food with large food quantity what else you need to enjoy. Food quantity is usually large for all the dishes so be mindful of the food quantity. Karak tea was awesome as well

Wow, this is a true hidden gem in LA. Step in a feels like you traveled somewhere new with just a single step into this restaurant. You walk in and notice it's quite homey and has the vibe of a restaurant in Asia or Europe. There are two styles of seating one more American style tables and the other more Yemeni style, sit on cushions more on the floor level. The service is friendly but they seem understaffed for lunch. It's prob half full and there are maybe just a handful of staff. They are quick and efficient. The menus have pictures, which I like because it's my first time eating Yemeni food. Everything is to share family style. Or a stew and a chicken rice to share between two people. Plenty of food. That flat bread is so tasty. Tip: Get the coffee, it's amazing. Very different from your normal LA coffee shop.

I can recommend the food which tastes good, but the services is really bad. When we just came they didn't even greet us and just place the menu in one of the table then when we order they didn't ask us for the drinks and we have to call the waiter again to give us drinks which took him 15 mins to gave us because his prioritizing other table which came after us and whenever we want to call him for the check he will just say ok but move on to another table and forget about us and we ordered konafa which never served to us so i ask the waiter to give us the konafa to go he just put it in a plastic then leave it in the corner of the cashier which he never informed us and i have to get up to ask where is the konafa, his all over the place and the other waiter is no help at all they ignore us and it feels like their being racist and they don't want to served us they are happy to served other nationality but for us they make us wait for several minutes to get what we order other people that came almost the same time as us was finished for 30 minutes but for us since no one is serving us properly we stayed there for almost an hour waiting for the drink, food and check a very bad experience and I recommend not coming here to dine, But you can order the food it's really good and i been in a middle east country and i can say that it's almost taste like authentic Im sorry to the owner if i'm leaving a bad review about the service in your restaurant but i want you to know how your customer feels and please straighten up your waiter. I will order again but most probably by doordash or ubereats i'm not coming again

One of my favorite dining experiences in recent memory. I feel like I was transported to another part of the world (and maybe I was) when I sat down here. There are Yemeni pillows for resting for the smaller tables, but if you go here you'll probably want to bring your whole crew and then some and pop down at the communal tables in the back near the bathrooms. The food was also terrific: subtler, earthy tinges to their stews and dishes and hearty bread for sharing make for a nice, let alone novel, dining experience. We also got a honey and banana dessert here that I don't remember the name of but I would absolutely get again. The lamb was terrific, as was the beef. The service was seamless! You press a button at your table to call a waiter. In spite of there being so many tables the servers are surprisingly attentive. Can't wait to come back with all the homies and pull up on one of the shared plates!

Overall a very good spot. 4.0 stars. What's been great: Atmosphere is welcoming, especially for huge families. Even their menu is targeted towards big groups of 4-6-12 people, which makes it perfect to visit with a big group, celebrate a birthday, etc. Speaking of the birthday - they do bring out a bday cake, dim the lights and sing a happy birthday song with the whole restaurant which makes it even more special. Food portions were massive. We ordered a 92$ mix of meat that was considered for 3 people and we took 3 more to go boxes after all of us got full! Very generous servings. Taste pf the food is also great - chicken was melting in the mouth, as well as beef and lamb. Not too over-fried or under-fried, just perfect. Came out steaming out of the kitchen (on video is the second try - sorry guys). Free lollipops available whether you want to treat a child, or yourself, or both - there is no limit to that. We also bought some black tea which came with a piece of mint and my gf got Ayran. - came in the bottle and they didn't offer a cup for it :( The desert was ok according to my gf who lived in the Middle East for several years and tasted an actual Kunafa. Service was a little disappointing for such a great place. I had to ask them to take our order as it took them very long to approach us, also they didn't take our plates away after we asked them to bring the to go boxes, even though they were empty. AND it was a slow Sunday night, with only like 10 tables total. Not much enjoyable interaction - maybe it's a culture thing as I've never been to a Middle Eastern place but this is America - so they have to step up a little bit to match their actual rating. Pricing is very good. I paid 135$ including a tip for 3 people. Included 3 drinks, 1 desert, 1 humus with bread, and a main entree.

We had many many great experiences eating at Anaheim House of Mandi and was thinking to have great experience eating at Mandi House LA. First off, noone greeted us, everyone seemed do not want to deal with us despite seeing us. So I decided to start convo with lady staff asking if we can sit by sunken table which rudely refused and asked us to sit on the regular table instead. So we sit and noone gives us the menu, till I have to go to cashier counter to grab one menu. Then the time we order, we called one of the guy (who seen cleaning the table multiple times), so he grabbed the ordering machine and seemed confused entering the menu, like seriously, if he wasn't able to take order why not asking someone to do it. Another hiccup happened when they only served us the grilled chicken, in fact we ordered the chicken w/ rice. We complained on this and the guy who served took the chicken right away and served the right order BUT the rice was hard, cold and there was no raisins at all! We asked for raisins and they asked 'you want EXTRA raisins'. How come he mentioned it extra when there is no existing raisins at all? We asked for gloves to numerous people and ended up one person gave us. I couldn't count how many flaws on first time experience! Everyone reading this, know whether I will come back or not to this place!

Dear owner, Your service people/ customers should not be washing their feet in the bathroom sink that is disgusting. I don't care if you religion tells you to do that but when it comes to food that should not be ok. In all honesty after seeing that I'm disgusted by it. To think if you allow this to happen in front of customers what are you doing in the back where the customers are not able to see?

I was really excited to try this place, and it was my first time having Yemeni food. We ordered takeout, but unfortunately the chicken and lamb were extremely dry. As I tried to break the chicken apart, the bones crumbled into the rice, which made it difficult to eat. The rice itself had great flavor, but for the price, I expected higher quality and juicier meat. Sadly, it was not a great experience for me.

Huge portions and great service! There are regular tables and also more traditional like tables where you sit on the floor to eat. Great for a variety of groups. We ordered a few items which were definitely more than enough and had leftovers for a few days. The eggplant dip was ok to me but the bread they give us big and fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed the chicken rice dish as it's the most soft chicken and fall off the bone with so much flavor..also ordered the lamb and beef stew but I really don't like the green cilantro like thing on it but the flavor was really good and meat very tender. Definitely would recommend this place to try!

We came here before we heard great reviews. The restaurant and food did not disappoint! The food is AMAZING!! And so is their Karak tea!! I love their Big Mova Fish! It's a huge portion that feeds up to 4 people! Beware there are a bunch of bones in it so you have to be careful eating it! But it's soo light and refreshing! The karak tea is strong but so flavorful! Will definitely be back!

Found this spot on yelp and I'm glad I chose to try it. Pretty unique to sample a Yemen cuisine in LA and I must say I was very impressed. My friend and I decided to share a baba ganoush-style appetizer as well as chicken mandi dish over rice and lamb stew. The food portions were enormous and could have easily fed 4 people. The flavors were out of this world and very authentic to Yemen, as our server explained. A lot of spices and marinade involved for the meats. The freshly baked pita-style bread was heavenly and came in the size of a small hula hoop. The ambiance felt very authentic, with unique colors and regional wall decor and the customer service was friendly and professional. One of the most unique restaurants I've been to and that decor and music does teleport you to another side of the world. I see myself coming back again to try some other dishes.

This was my first time trying Yemen food and wow, what an experience. The food was sooo good! The lamb was juicy and tender, and the rice was packed with so much flavor! The shrimp with bell peppers were delicious as well, but the flavor tasted familiar and didnt stand out as much as the lamb mandi. The bread was warm and chewy. There are 2 sauces provided, a red and white one. From an outsider peasant description, the red one is like salsa and the white one is tzatziki sauce. Service was on point and very hospitable. Our server was Malik. The decor is so gorgeous, colorful, and bold. It's just beautiful..and very clean. The food was so memorable that I went to the Anaheim location. However, the lamb mandi there did not match my experience here. The lamb was a bit dry and the rice didn't have as much raisins so I'm not sure if that contributed to the lack of flavor. I wouldn't go back.

I make a order on DoorDash and they don't send the sauce. The one comes with the Mandy They don't even send the yogurt, which is on the menu says it comes with the sauce and yogurt and when I call them, they say sorry we're out and they hang up

Mandi House was excellent! The food was flavorful and authentic, with generous portions and great presentation. The service was friendly and welcoming. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a delicious meal and a good experience.

We came as a party of 3 on a Sunday afternoon and had no trouble getting a spot. You have to press the button on the napkin dispenser to get waitstaff's attention. Press the button! It took us a while to figure that out. We ordered the chapati, chicken galaba, lentil soup, baba ganoush dip, Levantine tea, fattoush salad, and meat sambosas. Everything was great. The chicken galaba and tea were standout. And the chapati was so soft! No complaints.

Mandi House - when you're here, you're family. Reliable, all hours of the night, and coming through with a home cooked meal. The place is packed with large families, the portions are huge, and it hits. My new late night spot.

First time trying Yemeni food and it was amazing! I unexpectedly came for an Iftar during Ramadan, so they offered a $40 buffet with all types of dishes. It was perfect opportunity for me to try different Yemeni foods! In the buffet there was pitas, 2 types of samosas, hummus, baba ganoush, veggies, meats, desserts, soups, drinks, and much more. They even had Chicken and Lamb Mandi which are these huge platters of rice, meat and veggies. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. The lamb and beef were so tender. However, the chicken was dry. I like the rice which was fluffy and flavorful. I also like the added flavor and texture provided by the raisins and roasted nuts in the rice. I especially loved the desserts and drinks. I had this chocolate cake which was moist and not too sweet and some of the freshest orange juice I've ever had. The interior is also nice. I liked the representation of the nature in Yemen displayed on the TV. It makes me want to travel there when the political landscape isn't too intense. The cushion seating looked so comfy too and I want to sit there next time. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would love to come back with friends and family to show off the delicious food of Yemen.

My family and I had such a great experience here. We sat in the traditional floor seating. Shoes off! We started with their house made hummus and freshly baked bread. The bread is baked to perfection. For the main dish, we had half lamb half chicken mandi. It said it served five but easily can serve eight or nine. We had leftovers for the next day. The chicken was so juicy and tender. The lamb is out of this world! The lamb was definitely my favorite. It comes with two sauces. One is a spicy tomato salsa, and the other is like a yogurt cucumber sauce. We also ordered a lamb salad dish, which was cooked differently than the lamb in the main dish but also very delicious. The salad had a nice zesty kick to it. For dessert, we had a slice of fresh sabaya and a pot of tea with mint. Service was great! Everyone was so welcoming and pleasant. Highly recommend.

wow wow wow Have you ever tasted a lamb more tender and packed with flavor. So good. Large portions great for sharing. I picked up the takeout myself. The decor inside the restaurant was very cool. Traditional yemen vibes, makes the restaurant more delicious. The staff there were so nice and caring. Shoutouts to the team that made this delicious food and offered me some delicious tea while waiting. I have to come back again and again. What a gem.

Amazing and Authentic Food! This was a great experience! We went for a birthday dinner with a very large group, and Malik took excellent care of our table. We chose to sit on the floor cushions, which added to the authentic atmosphere. However, if you prefer, they also have regular tables. Just a heads-up, if you go for the cushion seating, you'll need to remove your shoes. Everything was incredibly tasty.

If you're unsure what to order, this is a great choice. Most dishes also come with a large piece of bread as well. They gave us complimentary tea and coffee since we were a large group. Their traditional tea was incredible, but I wasn't a fan of the coffee. Overall, a must try!

Me and my girlfriend love this place. One of her friends from UCLA was having a birthday party, and we all decided to celebrate here. I ordered the Lamb plate, and we all had plates of Fattoush and Hummus. Mandi House is FIRE. Best Middle Eastern food on the Westside Baby. We had fun here. Food is kind of expensive, but the portions are huge. So, how can you go wrong?

We love House of Mandi. I brought some friends here who have never had Yemeni food. I've been to the location in Anaheim. We shared the family size chicken and rice plate and got some karak chai and spicy potatoes as well. Everything was delicious. Meat falls off the bone. There is a variety of textures and flavors. Everyone can enjoy this. The service was.. they tried. I get it. Park on the street.

Service is great. The whole restaurant setup is great. Great vibes , great seating and decor. The food is always consistently great. Nothing but good to say about this establishment. Will forever dine here atleast once a month or whenever I'm nearby.

My first time trying Yemenese food, and I absolutely loved it! The setting was very cozy, we sat on a floor type seating that was very comfortable and unique. We ordered a chicken dish and the Arabic coffee and everything was great! The portion sizes were massive, and it tasted very fresh! I would recommend this place 10/10

Excellent food. GREAT service by Azam. He was so nice and informative Overall I would return to this place. Only area of opportunity was the following. Food needed a bit of salt. The red and green salsa did not seem Yemenise. Felt more like Mexican salsa. You don't need this. Food came out very quickly. Made it feel like more of a cafeteria vibe than a nicer upscale place. The karak tea was the highlight of the night. It was perfect! Overall I would definitely return.

House of Mandi in Westwood is a nice, decorative restaurant with Yemen's seating styles. One thing I have to note is when we asked for water, they brought out bottled water and charged us ~$2 for each. Overall the service is adequate but can be slow at some points. They make it up with a bell at each table to ring the staff over. The food is beyond compliments. -The eggplant dip is my favorite. The dip is fresh, spongy, and airy to taste. It comes with a 15 in or so side of bread to dip. Better yet, the dish costs only $9. 5/5 the grilled lamb with rice for $35 was huge as well. -Overall all dishes here are big. It took me 4 meals to finish the dish after I bring it home. Although the lamb is dry at places. The flavored rice is al dente, moist but not too wet that would clump together. 4/5 -Fish mova comes with a full size of rice like other dishes and a whole fish wrapped in tin foil. The fish is more moist and spicy due to some jalapeños. 4/5 Overall I would come back to try other dishes because there are so many options that it is so hard to choose.

Ambiance: it's a restaurant specialized in Yemeni cuisines, bright and spacious inside, good for large group hangout, you have to make reservations for Yemeni style couch seating, otherwise just regular chair and tables Service: you press the bell on the table to place order and get check, food is generally served fast Food & Drink: numerous items on the menu with a lot of authentic ingredients LAMB MANDI - ***** A traditional dish from Hadhramaut city in Yemen, very roasted young fresh lamb until the fall off the bone lamb is ultra-tender and gently roasted cooked underneath oven, served over Mandi rice, comes with Yemeni sauce and Yogurt, the lamb meat was tender and tasty, and the rice was very flavorful, highly recommend Hrada Of Fahsah - **** A traditional dish from Sana'a city in Yemen, shredded lamb and beef whipped fenugreek served bubbling hot, cooked in the tradition Yemeni plate that made of a carved stone, served with one big Yemeni bread and spicy sauce on top of the meat, bold tasty meat, recommend Ayran Drink Yogurt - *** special salty taste Price: generous portions and affordable prices, expect $40+ per person for a feast

House of Mandi LA is a spot to go to if you want amazing, tender, aromatic, and hearty food, with a fun, authentic, communal setup. Get the platter with all the meats. You won't be sorry that you did so. Everything on our platter, which served 8, was so delicious. Everyone was scoopin their way towards multiple plates. I'm talking 3rds, some even 4ths (guilty). The food was so bomb. Make a reservation, sit on the floor, and come with a big party. You'll be treated to excellent food, excellent service, and a fun, traditional, Arabic experience.

Loved it from the decor the food I love Yemni food The Mandi was great and Fahsa and decor and coffee was great Service was excellent Will come back Should try it

The okra is a must order. You've come here for the lamb Mandi (or the grilled lamb, or the Haneeth, but I prefer the first two over the last). The food is family style, piled HIGH, and I'd say their estimation for how many people the dishes feed are actually low (and we were a hungry group!!). Everything is seasoned perfectly and the rice is cooked so well it's still fluffy. If you make your reservation for a group in advance, you'll be seated in a gorgeous in-floor table and you can take your shoes off and enjoy their hospitality. So glad they've opened a location in LA so I don't have to go to OC for the experience!! Fantastic.

Hrada of seltah was so bomb - also came with bread for dipping in a portion bigger than you'd ever need Lamb Mandi, their specialty, was also solid but the hrada was the star of the show. Come in a big group to share!

Once in a while, you have food from a restaurant, that completely blows you away. The House of Mandi, serves authentic Yemeni food in a restaurant space that immediately transports you to an environment that is bathed in their rich culture. There is Yemeni music in the background, comfortable cushioned seating close to the ground, stunning decor from the country and the intoxicating aromas of a unique cuisine. I came here on a hurried afternoon to pick up a carry out lunch special of Chicken Mandi. It comes with a biriyani type rice, a Serrano chili, mint yoghurt and a spice sauce. There is an accompanying young chicken that is prepared by marinating in Yemeni spices and roasting in tin foil. The meat is tender, tasty, juicy and falling off the bone. The long grained colored rice is infused with a mesmerizing complex mix of flavors, sautéed onion, roasted peanuts and more. Very distinct and different to an Indian or Pakistani flavored rice. The whole mix blends very well with all its components. An unforgettable and memorable meal that makes you crave for more. The Yemeni hostess was gracious and enticed me to come back to dine in, sit on those inviting couches, mix with the people and be selflessly immersed in the full Yemeni culinary experience. Indeed, I must plan soon, to go back there again.

Wow! Went here for my birthday dinner & it was my 1st time trying Yemeni cuisine. I was met with such friendly and kind service. What a beautiful culture, DELICIOUS & authentic FOOD, and the lovely decor really completed my experience. Def would return!

I highly recommend this place. The food environment service was amazing very clean in there and stubborn. next time I'm in Los Angeles. I will most definitely be visiting them again.

From the cultural experience to the taste of the food, this place was perfect. The food was beyond delicious, so flavorful and tasted of a yummy barbecued esque meal. It was my first time trying Yemeni food and lamb too and it did not disappoint. Will definitely be coming back. Great service even with how busy they were.

Too noisy and such a big portion size. Lack of flavor. Services were kind of annoying.

Got the lamb chicken and soup. Honestly very dry and the service was super slow. I've had a lot better Yemeni food and know it can be very good so was dissatisfied here since the reviews were so high. Even with meh service could've been 5 stars I understand these smaller mom & pop restaurants won't be 5 star service but the food being mid was no bueno. The ambiance was great though and very authentic vibes

The food was soo good no doubt, but the charges is soo hight . I pay $240.20 for food Sales tax was $18.33 and the service charge 28.94 wowwww that's too muchhhhh almost $200 food and $50 extraaaaaa .. I give 4 star just because they charge a lot .

So this place was extremely cool, super authentic but some of the food was very hit or miss. Service was initially good but then we lost our waiter and ended up being there wayyyy longer than anticipated just waiting for boxes and the check. The bread that came with the hummus was fantastic and the hummus was very creamy. The lentil soup was incredible! So comforting. The grilled lamb and grilled chicken with rice were good, however felt like it was missing something, maybe some freshness like herbs or acidity for balance. The mandi lamb I wasn't a fan of. Overall it would be a fun place to come with a big group and eat family style but I probably wouldn't go back.

Very unique ambiance with awesome, friendly service. Food was flavorful, my only qualm is the portion of meat to rice ratio was rather small for the price point. I would come back in a big group and get multiple items to offset this however

Great food, we tried the fish and Haniz and it was phenomenal. Must try. The food was so good to extend that. I forgot to take a picture.

The service was fair and it is a spacious, nice-looking restaurant. We were greeted promptly and there were plenty of seats available. However, we came because a review suggested the vegan food was good. I really didn't see much suitable on the menu, it's mostly meat.

Great Mediterranean food! I liked the ambience of this place and the dessert was good.

AMAZINGGG!! Best resturant I've been to, staff are so kind and welcoming. Such an amazing study spot. Food and drinks are amazing, highly highly reccommend. Very family friendly as well.

Im glad we took the chance to try this place while at UCLA area. The place was really nice and the food we ordered was fantastice & delicious. The area was very clean/beautiful and great service. We ordered the chicken but the Karak Tea was really good. Highly recommended and would come again

Tried this place on a sunny Thursday afternoon. Nice staff and our food was very tasty, enough for 3 or 4 servings. I did ask for hot water and much later we got 2 Kirkland plastic bottles and plastic cups which we didn't drink as we avoid plastics. I suggest they invest in a water filter system instead of Costco single use bottles. Overall good experience!

First time visiting House of Mandi LA for their Ramadan night buffet, and I must say, the variety of Yemeni dishes was worth the long drive! Despite the long waiting line, it moved surprisingly fast, and the outstanding service made the wait worthwhile. Returned for dinner later, and while the chicken Galaba was good, the portion size left a bit to be desired for the price $$ I recommend: To share - Lamb Mandi full of flavor and tender. The chicken Mandi, it was absolutely delicious! Start with the Hummus. Coffee & Tea a must + The dessert selection is good, Baklava tasty but a bit too much for one person, so sharing is definitely the way to go. Keep in mind - The online menu that you scan from the table takes you to the top section where the catering dishes are so the price might scare you - just scroll down. Overall, House of Mandi LA is a great option for authentic halal food, I'll definitely be giving it another try.

The food at House of Mandi LA was excellent. The lamb mandi was soooo juicy and perfectly cooked; it fell right off the bone. I don't even usually like lamb, but I loved this dish! I totally recommend trying this place. They offer two different seating options: regular tables and chairs or the traditional Arab-style floor seating, which is super cool and made the experience even more enjoyable with my family. The employees were incredibly nice, fast, diligent, and working so hard even though the place was super busy. I'll definitely be coming here regularly!

I live in brentwood and tried this place last week. the ambiance is fantastic! i ordered the lamb mandi and it was ok. the meat was a little dry. but sitting on the ground while eating was a fun experience.

Blown away by the Yemeni food here! I was so impressed. We got the lunch lamb plate with mattabal and hummus. They topped the hummus with a green sauce (Zhug?) reminiscent of Mexican green salsa. So interesting and was delicious. The mattabal was the best version of eggplant dip I've had. My jaw literally dropped. So smoky and delicious. I was shocked. The lamb was so tender and well seasoned. Sometimes the lamb in rice dishes can be more mild in seasoning but I appreciated that the lamb retained the flavors from spices. The rice was so good. I was shocked by the hot sauce as it looks like red salsa but has much warmer spices. Maybe cumin or ras el hanout? When you mix the red sauce, yogurt, rice, lamb, and fried onions, it's magic. Incredible. I didn't even talk about the bread that's like 3x the size of my face! Very similar to naan. It was hot and super fresh. If I lived around here, I would be here every week. I'll definitely trek across the county to eat this again!
