Second time coming by and it was even better.
Firstly - the prices and portions are a total steal.
This place is definitely a hole in the wall, no frills kind of dining. We tried their lamb sandwich (shared between two) which was juicy and flavorful. also shared a chicken stew dish with potatoes and vegetables. This was fantastic but my favorite was definitely the sandwich! You get a lentil soup and salad with every order - soup is mildly seasoned and light, perfect start to the meal.
I will be going back for the lamb sandwich. Also, saw someone order the fries which I’m definitely getting the next time. Whole meal with a drink cost less than $30.
Yemen and Gulf restaurant's rice, lamb, and chicken offerings create a culinary experience that stands out. The fragrant rice is perfectly cooked, fluffy, and seasoned with a delightful blend of spices. The lamb, tender and flavorful, showcases a mastery of traditional preparation. The chicken dishes are equally impressive, with well-marinated and succulent pieces. The restaurant captures the essence of Yemeni and Gulf cuisine, providing a rich and satisfying dining experience. The authenticity and quality of their rice, lamb, and chicken make this establishment a commendable choice for those seeking a taste of genuine Gulf flavors.
It's definitely a hole in the wall, no frills and not a fancy spot at all...with yummy food. The meat literally fell off the bones. I do not normally like lamb but the waiter suggested I get it, so I did, and it was delicious. My mom had a chicken dish and said it was incredible. The rice was cooked perfectly and the hummus was really good. Everything made from scratch. And a free delicious hot tea. Can't beat the pricing.
Found this place while exploring a new place with a different cuisine. When we reached the place we had a second thoughts seeing the place and the prices, but are very happy that we decided to try. The food was simply awsome and the portions were massive. After placing the order, we were discussing among ourselves, that the quantity we ordered was less and we could try someother food joint but we were just overwhelmed. The staff is very friendly and polite. They serve a complimentary tea, must say its simply beautiful. We loved everything we had. The price point is nominal. After a very heavy meal we packed dinner before leaving. Will be going again soon. Strongly recommend this place.

I'm very cautious writing this review, because this is a hidden gem that I want to keep for myself. But I'll say it -- this is my favorite restaurant in Baltimore by a mile.
I've never been to a place that just gets everything right like this place does. Everyrhing they serve food is wonderfully delicious, and simply cannot be understated. I got the Veggies over Rice and the Filafel Wrap. What really shined through was the wrap. The filafels were crisp and fresh, but their flavor was not too overpowering. The sauce cut through, but was similarly not overpowering. They wrapped everything in their house pita bread, which I think has to be divine in some way. It was so flavorful and soft, it just added to every bite.
I would highly, highly recommend that you get the appetizer platter, it comes with a whole tray of this huge pita bread, as well as some of the best hummus, best yogurt, and best filafel I've had in the city. Definitely also get a wrap. Be sure to try the complementary tea they have in front of the counter as well.
The portions are huge (you can easily order too much), but somehow the prices are simulateously insanely cheap. I don't know how they do it, to be completely honest. I'm flabbergasted.
I came here with a friend once, then had to come again with my whole team to enjoy the place. You need to come as well (or don't, so I can keep it to myself).
Utterly delicious food. I definitely made a mistake ordering the salta in the August heat - it's served boiling hot and the restaurant isn't air conditioned - but it's extremely tasty and served with a ludicrous amount of delicious bread. I ended up leaving the stew unfinished due to the heat but folded up the bread to take with me. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Baltimore.
Excellent food - super delicious and clean kitchen. Lamb haneeth is out of this world. Also extremely reasonable price and really generous portions - one main dish and a couple of sides can stuff two people.
My only suggestion is for the seating areas and bathrooms, give things a good cleaning.
We will definitely be back!
First time customer on a Friday night. Ordered the chicken wrap to go. It took a very long time to be prepared, but it was worth the wait. Huge wrap, delicious, will definitely go back. Great value too.
This is such a gem in Baltimore! I ordered one appetizer and one entree and this was how much I got! The meal came with a side salad and a soup and each person was given a big piece of bread. I ordered the lamb as an appetizer and this was so big that I was literally full by just having that! Everything here taste amazing! I strongly recommend!
Found this place while exploring the neighborhood one evening and happy we did. Very tasty and freshly cooked food along with extremely friendly service. Been 4 times in the last two weeks and haven’t had the same thing twice. Everything is delicious. Definitely recommend.
