“Food was super good.”

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.”

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!

“No frills authentic Yemeni home cooking.”

No frills authentic Yemeni home cooking. The lady who runs the place is so sweet and magic with flavors. Seriously the food is so good! Run don’t walk. So sad that the day we were in there it was almost empty. If people only knew it would be packed.

“We came for the first time on a cold night and really enjoyed the food.”

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!
