Good authentic food… You’ll lick your fingers literally! Seating is limited but the food is great

First of all!!!! If you are on the fence about this place- go for it right now. If you love Palestinian, Lebanese, or Turkish food- you'll definitely love these flavors. This is Yemeni cuisine, something rare to come by even in a diverse place like New York. The food really packs a punch and balances being spiced without being too heavy handed. I ordered the hummus, falafel, lamb, lentils, honey cake, and lamb stew. The food came with rice, fresh house made hot sauce, and an entire package of pita bread. I wish they offered rice and vegetables as a side but the amount sent with the food happened to be perfect for our dinner for two. The lamb stew was literally so good I shed an actual tear. It tasted so uniquely homemade it was impossible not to feel the love and tender care put into each part of the meal. The owner should really get set up with some high quality photos of the food and solidify a social media presence so it's easily found. It would definitely motivate more online orders. A true hidden gem, if I could give a million stars, I would. 100% the local spot to order from when you want something filling and nutritious.

The best place for authentic Yemeni food. Order atleast twice a week from here. The owner and cook Fidel genuinely brings out the best of spices in his authentic style of cooking.

This is insane flavor. Haneeth حنيد is really dish that I am craving for anytime in mood of authentic Yemeni food Unfortunately, trying it in numerous food restaurant but the flavor is not kicking until I eat it in this place. It look to me is new management, the decor is medium , but I am not for decor , I am for food. I was debating between mandi or haneeth. It was the best 20.00 haneeth dishes that I spent in my life. Worth every penny, I am hoping they keeping this way and not to start cutting corner to save, trying to save money may cost you more . Please, I urge you to keep the food this way and with same generousity and deep flavor , because this place will become the new king in the block.. Staring new business is very challenging,if you try the food and you really get impressed as I am,than he will deserve good word of mouth through leaving him good review so we can see him lasting serving us great dishes. Best luck to him.

Good flavor, good portion and good quality. I ordered the grape leaves and chicken kabsa. Delicious! Definitely will be ordering again!

if your looking for a homemade food you should go to this one everything is fresh this is the best food i ever ate!

Great food! Not within my budget though!
