Food was super good! There was so much food- and for the price? You can’t beat it! I forgot how much it was but the portion for the chicken was so much you can feed three people. Definitely get the tea because it is a staple- Bring cash! Street parking is available unless you go late at night past the hours of operation (then it’s free!)

Zahra’s Yemeni Kitchen is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious and showcases the authenticity of Arab culture in every dish. From fragrant spices to homemade bread, each bite is a delightful journey through Yemeni flavors. The warm, inviting atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to share a meal with friends or family. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes—you won’t be disappointed!

We came for the first time on a cold night and really enjoyed the food!
As soon as we sat down, we were served piping hot lamb soup w lemon wedges. The splash of lemon really brightened the flavor. Really good!
Everything was delicious, especially the Agda Lamb. The very flavorful and the meat was falling off the bones. To eat it w the freshly made bread was perfect!
We finished the meal with their Adeni tea, perfectly sweetened and aromatic!
Definitely will be coming back again to try other dishes!

The only mildly bad thing I’ll say is that the service was a bit lax. Not too much urgency, a bit laid back. But that did make me feel more at home. The vibe was very welcoming and incredibly friendly. We ordered 2 dishes and they were both delicious and very filling. The serving sizes on the Biryani and hummus were more than worth the price. The Biryani especially is more of a serving for 2, no complaints there. Can’t wait to go back.

I love the food but the service is so cheap they can’t afford to hire workers. And waiting for 1hour. Kills mood!
