Over the course of a few orders and experiences with Reef Al Yemen (via Uber Eats), I’ve had the pleasure of trying some absolutely incredible dishes, each one a standout in its own way. On one occasion, I ordered the Lamb Mandi, and it was fantastic. The meat was perfectly cooked—tender, flavorful, and paired with just the right spices to make the dish truly special. Another time, I went for the Lamb Haneeth, and it was equally impressive. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with bold, well-balanced flavors that showed the care put into its preparation. During another order, I tried the Turkish Haneeth and Marag. The Turkish Haneeth was phenomenal—perfectly cooked, rich, and aromatic. The Marag complemented it beautifully with its comforting, hearty flavors. Their Adeni tea is also worth mentioning—it’s smooth, fragrant, and absolutely delightful. It added a wonderful touch to the meal and is a must-try for tea enthusiasts. To top it all off, I ended one of my orders with the Akeeka dessert. Light, sweet, and satisfying, it was the perfect conclusion to an unforgettable dining experience. Not only is the food exceptional, but the staff at Reef Al Yemen are incredibly caring and friendly. They go out of their way to ensure you have the best experience, and their dedication truly shines through. If you’re looking for authentic, well-prepared Yemeni dishes with exceptional service, I highly recommend Reef Al Yemen—whether you visit in person or order via Uber Eats. You won’t be disappointed!

We recently hosted a family Iftar along with a birthday party for our aunt at Reef Alyemen Restaurant, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm and welcoming. The restaurant offers an extensive menu with authentic Yemeni dishes, making it a great choice for gatherings. We opted for the family meals, and every dish included was simply amazing—flavorful, well-prepared, and generous in portion size. The food truly reflected the rich and authentic taste of Yemeni cuisine. What stood out the most was the attention to detail by the owner, who personally ensured that everything was served on time and exactly as we had requested. Our gathering was a huge success, and every family member loved the food. If you’re looking for a place that delivers quality, authenticity, and excellent service, Reef Alyemen Restaurant is the place to go. We highly recommend it—let’s support this amazing business!

We went here for both lunch and breakfast. For lunch we had the lamb mendi, chicken zorobian and the beef fahsa. Everything was perfect, especially the chicken zorobian which had a moist chicken and very flavorful rice. The fahsa stew was also excellently spiced and tenderized. The bread for lunch was among the best tamees bread we’d had in the states and was obviously home cooked in a tanoor. For breakfast we had the shakshouka, liver, and beef ghalaba. This time around the bread was a little dryer but still had the same tanoor taste. The ghalaba was the best item from the ones we ordered and was even better than a lot of the breakfast places from back home in the Middle East, where we would call it مقلقل. Overall service and vibes were pleasant and the food speaks for itself.

Let me start with the good things They have great fresh juices, Orange and lemon mint. Grilled chicken was very good . Meat Haneeth and Mendi was small portion no flavor, $25 for 2 pieces of meet including the bones with only rice not worth it. The Salth is a very small plate of vegetables with one bread for $ 15 no way. The beef Shawrma was not the authentic one, the Tahini sauce was plain, no salt, no vinegar, no flavor. The garlic sauce was not the Mediterranean one, weird taste Last thing, the bathroom has no paper towels or hand dryer.. really... I always support and love the family business / resturants, I love the Yemeni food. I think the owner needs to give his customers more attention and better service for what he charges. All the best

The atmosphere was blah, the grilled meat was scarce and tough, the chicken was dry. They charge you $8.99 for a small plate of hummus. The rice was bland and tasted like it was microwaved. They don't bring any pickles, or salad to complement food. Traditionally, an assortment of pickles and tabouli or fatoosh is served with the type of meal we ordered. They are charging for premium types of meat and serving you the cheapest kind in my opinion. The current overall rating on google does not reflect the actual quality of the food or establishment. The only thing that was good was the in-house fresh bread. Will never go back or recommend to friends.

We tried the mix grill plate and all three types of meat were tender and of great quality. Fries were average. We also tried the chicken shawarma and I have to mention, especially for middle eastern food lovers, that they make a variation of the conventional shawarma (known as ‘awarma) which is cooked on a grill rather than the typical stack on a rotisserie. Still, the taste is rich and good. I would definitely try again and highly recommend to others. One advice about the flat bread; it’s delicious but only try at the restaurant and don’t take out coz you’ll miss the point if you eat it cold.
