I came to Yemendi with my family for the first time on tuesday and was there the same time as the rude lady below and i witnessed how rude and disrespectful her and her family were treating the waitress. I was a walk in customer too and they still accommodated my family to a table and they treated all customers with respect despite it being busy. I was so appreciative that they gave us a table with no reservation so you should too. The fact that you want to blame it on food poisoning is disgraceful! If that was the case my family and I would of had the same like everybody else that day! You should tell the real side of the story before posting slander, especially coming from a “chef”. If the food really deserves a below zero then why did you ask for takeaway containers to take home lol. As one mum to another your attitude was a below 0. What a shame to see how you took time from your day to send such hate. I would stay away from your business if this is how you deal with human beings. Does’t seem professional at all coming from a “chef”.

I also came from Walla Abu Eid and am thankful for showing us this hidden gem as she only recommend truly good places to try.

Anyways I had a lovely experience at Yemendi, the food was 10/10 and the meat was juicy and succulent. Will be coming back...
