Amazing authentic middle eastern food! Serving sizes are plentiful and each dish is made to perfection. My boyfriend and I got hummus, yoghurt, rice, fries, and 2 chicken sandwiches. The chicken sandwich is so big we split one, and will have leftovers for a while after this. Delicious food and we will be returning! Update: Years later and this restaurant is still a staple to my friends and I! We visited during Ramadan and the in-person dining experience couldn’t have been better. Truly authentic, delicious Arabic cuisine. The employees are so kind and personable. They make it an amazing experience each time whether we dine in or take it to go. This is the ONLY place I get Arabic food from!

We visited Yemeni & Gulf Restaurant during the busy ICNA weekend on a Saturday and late at night, so we expected some hustle—and that’s exactly what we got. A lot of items were out of stock (understandably, given the crowd), but the food we did manage to order more than made up for it. We tried the lamb haneeth, lamb fahsah, hummus, Yemeni soup, chicken curry, and chicken wings. The lamb dishes were the clear winners—tender, flavorful, and full of that slow-cooked depth you hope for in Yemeni cuisine. The chicken wings were on the smaller side, but still tasty. The Yemeni soup was comforting and had a nice depth of flavor. The restaurant itself isn’t fancy or upscale—it’s simple and straightforward—but the food speaks for itself. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and despite the crowd, the wait time was surprisingly short. We also enjoyed trying some of the Palestinian drinks they had available. If you’re looking for authentic flavors in a no-frills setting and don’t mind some menu items being out of stock during peak times, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

Was in the area and stopped by at this place. We ordered Lamb haneeth, chicken wings,fries, and chicken sandwich. Lamb haneeth and wings were really good. However, the chicken sandwich was not that great. The sandwich bread was burnt and there was no flavor in the chicken. But everything else was delicious. The casher was friendly. I will definitely come back for Haneeth. Lastly, they charge 4% fees if you use a credit card or a debit card. So it will be better if you take cash with you.

I ordered the lamb haneeth, the meat was very tender and well cooked. And the rice was also really good. My girlfriend got a veggie lamb curry but that wasn't as good. The food good but I wouldn't say it was the best. But I would like to try other stuff on the menu as well.

This was a nice surprise in Baltimore! The meat was very tender, and the food seemed fresh! I loved the green spicy sauce we were given. The naan was huge! I would definitely go back to try other menu items!

We ordered a takeaway and were pleasantly surprised. The pita bread was soft and fresh, perfect for scooping up the flavorful sides. The bhindi curry and salta had a nice balance—mildly spiced with a touch of sweetness and a rich tomato base. The hummus was the highlight—incredibly creamy with a lovely olive oil aroma. They also included a spicy green paste to add on top, which gave a nice kick without overpowering the dish.

The food here was AMAZING and we got so much. We didn’t pick up that it’s a family style restaurant, so we really could have split 2 entrees or 1 entrees and an appetizer for our table of 4. The leftovers kept really well and I got to eat them a few more times. Will be back soon! This isn’t a fancy restaurant, so if you’re expecting a fine dining atmosphere, this isn’t that kind of place. Get take out. For a casual meal with friends or quick lunch, I super recommend this place
