| ★★★★★ This place is just amazing. I agree with one reviewer that this is a benchmark that every middle eastern restaurant should be measured against. The haneez is a WOW, the thought of it writing this review waters my mouth. People are great, the restaurant itself is not that classy, but with this food and the service, that just doesn't matter. |

| ★★★★★ The best place I've been to so far. Hand down! My taste buds go to another universe with every thing they serve. I start drooling on the way there! 5 stars doesn't do it justice. I would live above if I can. I took all my friends there. For me it's a mist whenever I plan a trip to the city. |

| ★ Overrated. Nice atmosphere and stuff but if you want your food to have a little flavor- like some salt or even a little bit of spice, then I wouldn't recommend this place. But the service was fast. |

| ★★★★ This is a very nice Middle Eateern restaurant in Brooklyn. One of the better places in the area. We tried the chicken and lamb and both were very good. Portion sizes are huge and prices are reasonable. The workers assured that all meat served is halal. Service was OK, but excusable since the place was very busy. |

| ★★★★★ The first time I came here I had a shock. I was quite hungry and was contemplating whether I should have an appetiser before the main dish. When I asked if the appetisers were small I was assured they were and so I went ahead and ordered both an appetiser and a main course. I had barely finished the complimentary salad, soup and bread when the quite sizeable appetiser arrived. I quickly requested them to pack the main course to take with me. The delicious food, huge portions, complimentary soup, salad and bread all made me fall in love with this place! Add the friendly staff, hole in the wall atmosphere and delicious Yemeni tea and this was one of my most frequented places. I introduced a number of friends to this place also and they all had nothing but praise for the food. I am not a lamb person but the roast lamb is wonderful as most of the other dishes on the menu I tried. I made sure to eat here the day before I left NYC to return home! |

| ★★★★ Very authentic, down to the old, worn out (and probably unhealthy to cook in) clay pots. If you thought arab food was bland and tasteless check this place out. Haneez needs to be tried at least once. The soup is excellent. Tea was nice because it was different though I would tire of it quick because it has too much 'elaychi'. Overall a very nice experience. The price is manhattan standards though so expect to shell out at least 20 bucks a head. |

| ★★★★ You walk into this place and take a seat at any of the uncovered brown tables mapping the floor. There's the same Arabic music playing that you remember from the last time you were there. Burly men sit hunched over large white plates sharing bread from a silver platter and sipping hot tea.
Pictures from the Yemenese capital and landscape adore the walls. The inset aquarium with tropical fish is a little out of place but still fascinating.
Every once in a while, the waiter walks past you with a steaming and sizzling bowl.
Portion sizes here match the prices. The roast lamb is their most popular dish and also the one that comes the quickest when you order it.
The bread and soup are wonderful appetizers and could be had just by themselves. The (free) tea really puts this place over the top though. |

| ★★★★★ The best middle eastern food I've had. Period. The haneez (roasted lamb) and salta (Yemeni stew) are my favorite items. You can have all the cardamon tea you want and they make their generous portions of bread in an authentic clay oven. Eat with your hands if you like; this place has the sights and smells of the middle east. I also highly recommend the kibdeh liver appetizer. |

| ★★★★★ Delicious lamb. The Haneez is definitely the thing to order. They also have halal chicken soup, but it's more of a broth |

| ★★★★ The place to go in NYC hands down. The tea is to die for, but a lot of nonMuslims have started to attend in recent years so portions have gotten smaller, food less spicy, prices more expensive. AGH. |

| ★★★★★ Love this place ! We have tried almost all the entrees on the menu and all are equally good . Their specialty Haneez (roasted lamb ) is simply amazing , the meat is so tender and flavorful ! Chicken dishes especially the roasted Chicken and Zorbian (a rice dish) is good too !!
It may seem a bit pricy but the food quantity is great and they serve salad , soup and bread (naan) with it. The soup tastes really good too !! and to digest it all you must drink their tea .. amaziinngg !!
All is all a great place to go and eat delicious halal food , the service is also exceptionally good , really friendly guys !! |

| ★★★★★ The decor is okay. A good place to go out with friends or your family. Staff very polite. The lamb is the BEST. Although most platters are around $14 - it includes: salad, soup, bread and the tea at the end of the meal. A great dish is Aseed (spelling??). It's kind of like mashed dumplings w/gravy on top. And the masjid is on State/Clinton street (where my hubby & I got married!) |

| ★★★★ The roast lamb is what you want here. It's a bit pricey (14 or so) but it is a whole lotta meat. There is a Masjid in a Brownstone 2 min walk from here too. |

| ★★★★★ This brings back some of my best memories of NY. I had an awesome chicken pitta sandwich to go, ate it as I watched the early evening ambience reflect of the shimmering glass across the East river in Wall Street. |
