25 Awesome Places to Eat in Dearborn

"For Yemeni food, Sheeba Restaurant is a go-to place with dishes such as seltah (root vegetables with whipped fenugreek) and fahsah (shredded lamb and potatoes) — both of which come to the table bubbling hot in a clay bowl. The lamb haneeth is the most popular dish with slow-roasted lamb over basmati rice. The Yemeni tannour bread is perfect for scooping and sopping it all up." - Serena Maria Daniels

Detroit’s Best Restaurants for Big Group Dinners - Eater Detroit

"With ample seating and plenty of family-style platters, Dearborn’s Yemeni restaurant mini chain is a good bet for eating out with a group. A basic platter for two features lamb haneeth (roasted, seasoned lamb with rice) and a choice of seltah (vegetable stew in served in a clay pot) or galabah (minced and sauteed meat, seafood, or veggies). There’s also combination trays featuring skewered meats, shawarma, salad, and dips. A handful of items are vegetarian, meaning there’s a little something for everyone." - Brenna Houck

While visiting Michigan from out of state, I had the pleasure of dining at Sheeba restaurant ,A Taste of Yemen, and it was truly a memorable experience. The moment I walked in, I was welcomed by beautiful, authentic Yemeni decor that instantly made me feel at home. The food was absolutely delicious — full of rich flavors and comforting spices that reminded me of traditional meals back home. I especially enjoyed the breakfast offerings and the perfectly brewed milk tea, which had just the right balance of sweetness and spice. Whether you’re familiar with Yemeni cuisine or trying it for the first time, I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s more than just a meal — it’s an experience that captures the heart of Yemeni culture.

One of the best Yemeni spots I’ve ever been to. The staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive to all our needs. The food was spectacular; Mendi rice, the chicken, and my most favourite, the Fahsa فحسة which is beyond incredible here! So glad I listened to our waiters’ recommendations because they all hit the spot. Would definitely be coming back here again! MashaAllah

Can’t understand why this place is 4 stars. The fahsa is incredible, so richly flavored and greatly portioned. The lamb soup is great as well. The lamb haneeth was falling off the bone. So delicious. Not to mention, the hummus was tasty too. For dessert we ordered the royal fatta which was extremely good! Would definitely come back!! Keep in mind you’re paying $40 for all of this so the value matches the price

Came here for my birthday celebration with my friends. We each got something different and shared the dishes together - everything tastes great and so flavorful. The staff here are super friendly and make you feel like a valued guest. They even helped my friends surprise me with a cake and helped to make that a special moment as well. Definitely recommend the food here - especially their lamb and their salmon. Thank you all for the amazing experience here 🫶

**The meat melts in your mouth, and the rice is perfectly cooked!** We tried the Fahsa and Lamb Haneeth, and it's hands down the best Yemeni food I've ever had. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the flavors are authentic. You can taste the love and tradition in every bite. The service is top-notch—fast, friendly, and attentive. Plus, the restaurant is incredibly clean and well-maintained. I could eat here every single day. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with outstanding food and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to be! Highly recommend!

I visited for lunch and had a wonderful experience. I hadn't been here since 2020, and I was thrilled to return and enjoy some delicious Yemeni food. I ordered the lamb haneeth with rice and lamb soup, and it was absolutely delicious. Our server, Shireen, was incredibly nice and friendly, and the other servers were amazing as well. They played Arabic music in the background and had beautiful pictures showcasing Yemeni culture, which I loved.

I've been many times recently, as I'm slowly making my way through the menu. Service was great, everyone was friendly, and very attentive. THE FOOD! First of all, the pita cooked to order is one of my favorites, you can eat it alone, or with anything else. The Sheeba for two, was unreal. Rice was perfectly cooked, and the lamb was so juicy and flavorful. I also loved that it came with lamb 2 ways. The salad was amazing, and they sell bottles of the homemade dressing to-go I'll be back again and again!!! Thank you sheeba family

The food is amazing! Everything is excellently cooked and very tasty. We were a party of four and all dishes were delicious. Very familiar ambiance and a welcoming staff makes for a great experience.

Torn between 4 and 5 stars. I guess I'll do 4 but probably would do 4.5. The haneeth lamb and to a lesser extent chicken is amazing!!! It's like melt off the bone amazing. This is the reason I always come back. But the basically everything else that I've tried at least is not that great compared to the Lebanese version: fattoush, bread, rice, garlic sauce. Maybe it's just this restaurant or maybe I just don't like the Yemeni version. The service is friendly.

I came here with my parents. The food was average I would say. The kebabs were a bit dry. The babaganoush was probably my favorite part of the meal, the bread that comes with it is amazing. The service is very good and the staff is nice. There is plenty of seating and parking.

After spending 8 hours at the Henry Ford museums, this was just what I needed. I ordered hummus, veg Seltah and Lamb Agdah. Both dishes came out bubbling but so worth the wait to cool off. If I lived in the area, this would be a repeat place for me.

Every time I visit Michigan I make it a goal to visit Dearborn in order to try a new restaurant. Today I tried Sheeba and I must say it was delicious! I ordered the Fahsah and Lamb soup. Both were amazing! I loved the taste of the lamb with the Yemenese seasonings. So good! The restaurant itself was decorated well and had beautiful decorations. Our waitress was was very nice and attentive. While in the area you must try Sheeba.

Came here with friends to have a lunch. There is a decent parking outside so parking was not an issue. We ordered few different dishes so we can get the full experience. Among my favorite choices was their Haneeth. The rice was delicious and their meat was so soft and tender. Their service though needs little attention. We had to ask several times for things that we ordered and they didn't get our order right. Also no one attended our table for a solid 20mins. I hope that changes in the future because the food is really good

My first taste of Yemeni food was at this location of Sheeba Restaurant, coincidentally during Dearborn Restaurant Week 2022. The food made such a solid impression that since then, I have visited several other Yemeni restaurants and been to this and the East Dearborn Sheeba several times. During Dearborn Restaurant Week 2024, I decided to revisit Sheeba as my first stop of the week. Surprisingly, the offerings remained exactly the same as in 2022. Somehow, Sheeba has managed to keep prices down through all the inflation in the previous years. We both got the $15 special, which comes with a drink, a choice of three appetizers - Falafel, Baba, or Hummus, and one of two mains - Half Chicken Haneeth or Fahsah. Falafel - This is a mini order of 3 falafel on a bed of greens. The falafel aren't fried all that well; the exterior is mostly dry but barely crisp. The chickpeas are more coarsely ground, resulting in an interior that has a more crumbly (but moist) mouthfeel. They don't mix many herbs in the falafel, so it's missing some of the fresh notes that help balance out the salty/sesame/chickpea flavor. The falafel are supposed to come with tahini and tomato, but we didn't receive either. (3/5) Baba Ghanouj - This is quite a chunky baba with larger pieces of tender eggplant mixed in with pureed chickpeas. They mill the eggplant quite well so there's barely any seeds mixed in. The eggplant has a slight hint of char, but not nearly as much as other places. (4/5) Note: The appetizers come with one piece of rashush which they will charge you $1 extra for. This is not noted on the menu at all. Chicken Haneeth, Half - The chicken is fall off the bone tender with a great char on the exterior and a somewhat smoky flavor. The interior meat is salty and tastes of fresh chicken. The texture is somewhat too tender and renders the chicken a bit sticky, like it kind of sticks to the teeth as you chew. The chicken comes on one side of a mound of yellow rice, which is fluffy and perfectly cooked and seasoned. On the other side rests a number of potatoes cooked in a savory tomato base The potatoes are quite dense but cooked until tender. A container of sahawiq is served on the side that adds a salsa-like bright herbal freshness and a bit of spiciness. (4/5) Fahsah - This is probably my favorite dish at Sheeba - I've always ordered it through my multiple visits. The fahsah is made with shredded lamb mixed with mashed potato with the meat having only the barest hint of lamb gaminess (this location is quite consistent with the flavor, but the one in East Dearborn sometimes tastes very gamey). It's very tender and doesn't get caught in your teeth as you chew. The dish is served in a clay pot, still bubbling when it arrives at the table, and it continues to bubble for quite a while afterwards - I've never succeeded to not to burn my tongue due to impatience. The bubbling action creates a delicious crust along the bottom of the pot that requires a bit of work to scrape up with a spoon. There's a thick layer of oil on top that is red-orange from the spices, but surprisingly the dish doesn't taste that greasy. It's served with one piece of rashush that is fresh baked, with some charred bubbly crispy bits and some chewy bits. The bread is studded with nigella seeds, lending a pleasing earthiness. (5/5) Overall I've found the main entrees to be delicious but the mezze to be only okay to good. Since eating at Sheeba the first time, we've expanded to eating at other traditional Yemeni places and I have to say that Sheeba is definitely a bit more Westernized than those places. Not saying that's bad - Sheeba is still a great stop in Dearborn if you're looking to try something a bit different from all the Lebanese places around. Bathrooms - Men's room has two stalls and two urinals. Women's room has three stalls. Overall rating of the food this visit: 4/5

I wasn't too happy with the food. The food had no flavor almost. Their mixed family platter is way way over priced for $200 plus it has no flavor. So flavorless and some kabobs were burnt. Their lamb platter was just a little better but still not worth 200 but more like 60bucks. this one in picture was not good at all. The place is super expensive and food quality is not as good. In conclusion Worst food I ever tried.

The food there is decent and the service is good. I liked that they have towels to wipe hands after eating. Also their Fasah was really good! I didn't like the lamb haneeth too much. It was decent. Would go back for the Fasah tho!

A family favorite for us. Authentic ambience with the place filled with families eating together, friendly staff and Arab music blasting. The Yemen shredded lamb (comes bubbling hot) is spicy, with the met juicy and tasty- highly recommend this dish. Bread and salads are also tasty and fresh.

This was a good place to randomly stop. I was in the middle of for Mediterranean food and they delivered. The restaurant was clean and the service was prompt. The food was really good, especially the French fries.

This place is a pleasant surprise and the food is very tasty and savory. It is a Yemeni restaurant and the food is a little spicy but very flavorful. A lot of the meats are lamb and it was a great experience overall. The salad was very fresh and surprisingly much bigger than expected. The hafsa? Is served in a clay bowl and one of their specialties. Safe bet is to take the family plate that serves either four or eight people as it includes several of their most famous dishes.

This was a special dinner to celebrate a friend visiting from out of town. This was our first time trying this restaurant, and it was just outstanding. The server recommended the family style platter for four to feed five of us with a variety of dishes. We loved every single item, including the lamb stew with dipping bread, salad, lamb, beef, chicken, potatoes, and two kinds of rice. And we had so much food left over. Will definitely go again!

Never got a chance to post a review on this place. Probably because the last time I was here it was 4 years ago. I was not a Yelper back then I just observed my wife writing reviews. I the only reason I became a yelper was because this yelper from New Jersey presented to be a cop. He started being disrespectful to my wife and her friends. But that's a another story So Sheeba is a Yemeni Mediterranean restaurant that has a different flavor and great taste. The Dearborn community here has so much to offer when it comes to Mediterranean food choices. Sheeba is unique their Shawarma salad along with some lentil soup will keep you warm on those cold cloudy days. Adding lemon to this soup just infuses its flavor. Yes I like eating it when it gets cold out there if that makes any sense. But I prefer this place because it just feels right the staff is great. They impress me because when they take your order they don't write it down. The food comes out hot which is big plus so just be careful. The interior is calm and decoration is like history screaming at you. It will not be a dull moment here. After you finish eating they don't mind if you stay afterwards at the table there is no rush. That's when I recommend Yemeni tea. Let me say that again I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE YEMENI TEA. This made for a perfect day stoping here. It's my birthday tomorrow and I volunteer for wreaths across America. I am happy that my wife wanted to come here. That is all. Chief Hero's are those who never came back home.

The service was a bit of a drag, the hummus was great, the half chicken dish with rice was nice, but wasn't nothing to call home about. The cake was cool, wasn't all that to me. The spicy sauce was great and the ambiance gave off a homely vibe. I recommend better table service and they should think about having hookah and alcohol.

I stopped at this spot from several recommendations I got from people in the Dearborn area. I had pretty high expectations since this place seemed to stand out amongst the many Arab spots. There are three locations, two on Michigan Avenue. I went to the smaller one on 13919 Michigan Ave, which caters to standard dining. It accommodates a good number of people without being super crowded. The 22048 Michigan Ave location accommodates both standard dining and larger groups. I noticed that Yemeni cuisine differs quite a bit from the many types of Middle Eastern food I've eaten throughout my life. The menu was pretty simple consisting of many lamb-based rice dishes and stews. It can be hard to narrow down specific entrees to try, since many descriptions can sound similar. The food lends itself well to family-style dining. We ordered the Sheeba For Four platter and an additional Sheeba Garamish Salad. The Sheeba For Four was impressive; each came in generous portions with fresh and high-quality ingredients. It includes the Fahsah stew containing shredded lamb and stewed potatoes. It came with fresh flatbread which was thinner but flakier than a regular pita. The platter came with both Lamb and Chicken Haneeth over Zorbain Rice. I typically don't like stews, so I was surprised how much I enjoyed the Fahsah. The lamb had the consistency of braised meat without being too gamey. The flatbread was delicious. I was very satisfied with the meat portions that came on the rice platter. Many restaurants load up platters with tons of rice to skimp on meat portions. All of us had decent portions of both lamb and chicken with plenty of leftovers to spare. We concluded our meal with the Dates Fatta Dessert. The bread in this one was crumbled, as opposed to the sliced presentation we were used to. It's not your typical sweet and decadent Arab dessert; the Dates Fatta has a lighter texture and hint of sweetness that can conclude a heavier meal. Overall, I enjoyed Sheeba much more than I thought I would. As an Arab, I can quickly get bored of the various meat and rice dishes available at Mediterranean spots. Sheeba's Yemeni cuisine introduced me to a new and enjoyable avenue of Middle Eastern food. We were also very happy with the service throughout our meal here. I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone visiting the area.

Went to this place with couple of friends! We ordered chicken zurbian rice , sambosa , frise and hummus. The rice came with meat soup. The rice was delicious, tasty and tender. The chicken is already mixed up with the rice. It tasted good But the rice arrived a little bit cold. The samosa is one of my favorite. Very good! I wasn't a big fan of the soup but the frise and the hummus was great replacement for me. We paid around $33 for everything! Which was a good deal. Yes I might come here again.

Usually not that busy when I've gone in the last couple of times. Floor was really sticky feeling, which was a bit disconcerting. Servers are nice and quick. Their adeni chai is amazing and one of my favorite places to get adeni chai. We got the lamb fahsha and it was hot and fresh, and flavorful. Extra pieces of bread are only $1 and their bread is amazing. Chewy and soft at the same time. Also got a half chicken haneeth and it was so much larger than I thought it was going to be since it was the half size. Comes with a yummy and spicy tomato salsa. Wish that it came with some garlic sauce though. One of our dining partners got the chicken fahsha and it looked less saucy than the lamb version. Have had the lamb haneeth previously and it's well seasoned, meat falls off the bone and it isn't too gamely. At the end of the meal they give you a warm wet towel to wipe your hands with. They also have desserts which look good, but usually we don't have any room for dessert afterwards.

A Yemeni friend recommended Sheeba and it was amazing!!! The food was incredible, staff very nice, and atmosphere nice. We got the usual favorites: chicken ogda, lamb mandi, maraq soup, salad, fresh lemon juice, fresh bread, and sahawiq sauce. The chicken ogda first came out in just a plate but I asked if it's possible in the black pot and they kindly brought it back simmering in the black pot. The staff were not at all bothered and seemed happy to do this. So nice! Thank you! Overall, just so amazing. Highly recommended to try it! If you aren't sure what to order, you can show my photos to order, seems they don't have a paper menu anyway. It's the best food! Go try it!!

We were coming to visit U of M, Dearborn with our son and stopped at Sheba for dinner. We hadn't had Yemeni food before and decided to try it out. We were very pleased and ate way too much. We ordered the family platter to sample a few dishes along with a veggie platter. The lamb soup that comes with most meals was a spiced rich lamb broth. We also got a cup of the lentil soup and I recommend both as starters. When the platter came out, there was a large portion of lamb placed on a bed of rice. The lamb was so tender and just beautifully done. We also added the Fahsa for a few dollars more. The shredded lamb and potato came in a steaming hot pot. It was so good, it is hard to describe. We left stuffed to the gills and very happy.

It's one of the beautiful restaurants in my neighborhood but I never had a chance to visit it. The staff is professional. However on this particular day, me and my friends faced delays in the serving. Also, the food which was served was not enough tasteful. I felt like there is a missing piece of Mediterranean spices in the food. Even though we ordered all non-vegetarian food items, I didn't felt that I was eating non-vegetarian. Most of the times I was chewing some veggies

Wonderful Arabic (Yemeni) food. Each plate is like two servings so beware. If you like chicken or lamb with rice then this is a good place for you. It is not like other Arabic (Lebanese) restaurants that are very common in Detroit. Try their bread with hummus

Headed here after visiting the Henry Ford Museum. It's a surprising large place with super comfortable seating. Service was quick and attentive. We had five people and wanted to try a variety of food, so we ordered Yemeni platter for 4. Well we were all full after that. There wasn't a bad dish. I even tried their specialty teas which I normally skip but they were all fantastic! I will be coming back here and recommend it to anyone.

I have never had better lamb anywhere else.. their lamb Haneeth is very tender and absolutely outstanding. I can't wait to go back there just for that.. and this is coming from someone who actually prefers vegetarian over meat anyday since people can't cook their meat properly. The waitress was very aware of the menu and guided us with the best options to order. We were a group of 8 people, they had enough space to accommodate bigger parties like ours.

Really good location. The east of parking, seating and proximity to everything in Dearborn made it a perfect spot for lunch. Staff was super friendly, sat us quickly and explained anything on the menu we'd never had. I have chicken agdah and it was amazing. Not as spicy as I'd prefer but really excellent flavors. The chicken was tender and the veggies perfect. Rice was great and I got extra bread for a dollar which you can't beat. The lamb broth soup was on point and they gave us a "salsa" (forgive me for not know what it's called) that was really fresh and tasted great on everything. I wish the menu had a little more variety, like beef, or fish. But I'll be back for sure!

We tried a Ramadan Iftar & it wasn't as expected. They don't serve fattoush/ salad or soup. Not everybody likes lamb meat.

Have you heard of Fahsa? Oh my gord! Slightly spicy, super savory, stewed lamb served in a stone bowl with hot mulawah (spiced flat bread cooked in a stone oven) is a MUST and is legit one of my new favorite foods. The staff here are very nice and happy to explain the best things to try. Yemeni culture is rich with influence from many civilizations which has fortified the cuisine with fragrant and multifaceted flavors from the entire region while remaining distinctly Yemeni so the menu is different from the "middle eastern" restaurants familiar to the area, because most offer Lebanese fare... The rice we had was bright yellow from saffron and was just delicious. The meat was tender and juicy. The salad was fresh and crisp and was tossed in a bright and well balanced dressing. Make sure to try the coffee and tea selection as these are offerings that are quite unique to Yemen and you may find a new favorite beverage. Our experiences here have been pleasant and tasty and we'll be back for more soon.

Authentic, homemade food; large portions. Delicious teas, coffees and smoothie drinks. We will be back often! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious - the lamb stood out above the chicken dishes, for sure. My husband ordered the Fahsah, which is mashed potatoes and lamb stew inside a bubbling clay pot and served with freshly homemade pita type bread. So savory and delicious. Hummus, shawarma, kabobs, salads, everything was delicious. Service was excellent for our large group on a Sunday - they really treated us like family. You can definitely tell that this place has high quality food because of the amount of family coming to pick up carry out and hang out. Such a nice, chill vibe on a Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend any of the authentic dishes, as you're not likely to find dishes like this elsewhere.

We came for an early dinner when Ramadan was ending. Got a chicken plate, and the portions were HUGE. We also love the pita bread, which came warm, and I was happy to take it to go so that I could eat on my travels on the train the next day. We left here STUFFED

Birthday party of 22 was warmly accommodated and served by Abbas and his helper. The Yemeni food was spectacular, especially the lamb dishes which were loved by the guests who don't usually even eat lamb. I highly recommend it.

This place doesn't even deserve one star honestly. The whole restaurant smelled like pure armpit . The whole restaurant stinks like musk. The fosulia they have gave me was very dry and nasty . It's supposed to be make with beans and tamatoes and peppers stuff like that and they just just gave me some dry nasty ass beans and tried to charge me 12$ they really need a reality check and a deep cleaning on their whole place

This is one of my go-to restaurants when I'm looking for halal middle eastern food, which is saying a lot given how many are in the area. The fahsah, platters, and chicken entrees are staples for me. I will say that the combo platters are always wayyyy more food than you think, you order conservatively. My friends eat a lot and a combo for 3 is good for 6 people easily.

First of all I will start with the good side of the review , the lamb haneeth and the lamb fahsa stew was absolutely delicious! The lamb was so tender on the haneeth it was falling off the bone! The lentil soup was watery and not good though! We Laos tried their adani tea and expected to be served in those littLe tea cups but were served in to go cups and we didn't love it but it was okay! Now, the reason I gave it 3 is because the food was good but the place was dirty, the table wasn't cleaned well, the water was served in plastic cups, the chairs were broken and in bad conditions, the whole atmosphere was not presentable enough for a sit down restaurants! The service wasn't great as well! Because we ordered appetizers and food which we got the food before the appetizers! We asked for an appetizer that we didn't even get! I mean the food was good but if I feel like eating that I would order it to go and not go eat there!

BEST YEMENI FOOD! I'm diving right into it. Don't hold me back. Lentil Soup: THIS IS A MUST! So, delicious and hearty, so warm and light. The lentil soup was so easy to go down, and we were tempted to order round 2. We so should've. Lamb Soup: This is a well flavored Lamb Broth. This also is A MUST ORDER! DO NOT skip on this! So, delicious and soothing while it goes down. Im not kidding you can really tell, someone made this with love. Fahsah- The sizzling hot bubbly clay bowl, that contains shredded lamb and mashed potatoes. Served with a side of bread. This we ordered after seeing a nearby table indulging in multiple bowls. MMM, its a bit on the saucy side, but super perfect with the bread. GET IT!!! Lamb Haneeth- This option I choose after seeing multiple yelp recommendations on it. Its a plate of lamb pieces so soft, they easily fall apart with a touch of a fork. Partnered with potato chunks, and a whole bed of rice waiting to be scooped up and piled into your mouth. This dish also comes with a side of red salsa, and in the middle of the salsa sits about a tablespoon of green spicy sauce. So, depending on how hot you like it, take it straight, or mix it in. OMG, my MOUTH IS WATERING while reminiscing. OH take me back already! -My darn photos do no justice. -Private Parking lot -Great service -We ended with hot steaming towels brought to us, to wipe our hands and faces. My goodness, what an amazing experience.

I had high expectations for this restaurant as I heard it served good food. However, the service is extremely in professional. They made us wait 20 minutes to get a menu and then we never received our plates and water until we went over and asked. The server came to take our order after one hour of us being there and completely messed it up. We ended up leaving after waiting there for 2 hours and receiving none of the food dishes that we ordered. We are not going back there again because that was unbelievable and unprofessional.

Wow! First time I ate Yemeni food and it was amazing and delicious. When we walked inside, we were seated right away and instructed to scan the QR code for the menu. So many wonderful food choices on the menu! Since it was our first time eating here, we asked for food recommendations. The server asked us if we wanted dishes with meat or vegetarian and we chose lamb. She then told us what she would recommend for our meals. Her suggestions were excellent! My spouse and I split the entrees, and I'm glad we did. The lamb on both entrees was very tender. Our meals were seasoned perfectly and tasted great. Everything at Sheeba is freshly prepared. You will want to save room for dessert. The dessert, also recommended by our server, was fantastic! It went very well with the tea we drank after our meals. All the staff of this restaurant was very attentive, helpful and super nice. I highly recommend eating here when you are in the Detroit area. We plan on coming back here soon. It's a dining experience you won't forget!

We dined in here twice in 2 days whole we were in dearborn. The service could use a bit of work but the fahsa which we had the first time and then reordered the second date was the best dish we have ever had. I would definitely come back here and eat fahsa all day long

Clean & great food. Service is excellent and the establishment is nice inside. A ton of great options to choose from the menu. The meat is extremely tender and you can't go wrong ordering from here.

Quite likely the worst meal I can remember having. Chicken shawarma was dry and tasteless. Other family member meals were adequate. I also thought it was extremely overpriced. The atmosphere was awful. One huge echo y space with everyone shoved in a line of booths against the one wall. And the service was pretty bad too. It took a while to establish that vegetarian might be vegan. Used empty bowls and water jugs were left on the table while an abundance of wait staff did next to nothing. Not a pleasant experience. Will never go back.

Only chicken from that place is to my likings, I don't like fatty meat that's why I don't like their meat. Service is good. But I don't like the ambiance needs to be remodeled
