What Clients Say

We were in the area and searched for a halal spot, and Halal Yemen Restaurant came up. As a family who loves Yemeni food, we had to give it a try, and we’re so glad we did! I’ll be honest, the food was full of rich, authentic flavors, especially the Fasha meat, which was tender and perfectly spiced. We wanted to try more, but the lamb was sold out, a sign of how good it must be! We'll definitely be back next time to try the rest of the menu. If you're looking for delicious, flavorful Yemeni food, this place is absolutely worth checking out.

The food was soooo good! 😍🔥 We tried the lamb and chicken Mandi cooked over charcoal absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, we ate so fast I didn’t get a chance to take any photos 😅 But the ‘Areekah’…oh wow! It was something else! Seriously, I don’t think you’ll find a place that makes it better than this one. Highly recommend this spot worth every bite!

Half of a boiled, baked chicken served on a bed of rice mix. Delicious. Priced right and served fast. Looking for a quick bite at an affordable price, give it a try. If you like your food With hot sauce or other sauce, bring your own.

For the purists. Absolutely fantastic food. Staff is nice and serve complimentary soup and some of the best bread I've ever tasted, fresh out of the oven. Meat and chicken falls off the bone and is rich in flavor. The atmosphere needs a lot of work but this is a total purist Yemeni food tasting experience. الاكل ممتاز، الناس طيبين، المكان هادئ. Highly recommended!

We came from Canada to visit The Strong Museum of Play and stopped here for lunch. Food is absolutely delicious! We ordered the platter for 2 and the serving size was very big. 4 of us ate comfortably. Their hot sauce is so good. If you're in the Rochester area, check it out. You won't be disappointed
