“ Such a fantastic spot. The food is among the best I have had, ever. The lamb is so tender, the rice is perfect, and the bread with honey over it is so good. Also, the baklava is some of the best I have had. I have travelled all over the Middle East and have eaten some great food, but this place is pure gold. I will go back every time I get the chance. ”
“ We enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine, and this was our first experience with Yemeni cuisine. The place is very well decorated, and you can either sit in a booth or traditional style. We ordered the hot tea, and we enjoyed it. The table near us ordered the fresh, mint lemonade, and it looked great. We ordered the dinner for two. It came with lamb, a whole chicken, rice, cucumber salad, and sauce. The lamb literally fell of the bone it was so tender. The chicken was grilled perfectly, and the rice and sauce enhanced everything. The dinner for two could easily feed four people. Our service was friendly and attentive, and we had a great experience. ”
“ Hands down one the best Arabic food in Florida! Abu Naji Mashallah very nice person! The food was absolutely delicious! We got the family cabin it was very comfortable! Highly recommended ”
