Yemen is such a gem. My friend and I went soon before close, and we ordered food to go that was great! We ordered lamb haneeth and ada lamb, both were so so good! For dessert and for the first time, I had. some baklava too! & it was so so good! The owner and servers were nice to us, even with us coming later in the evening. Served hot and quick, take a spot at Yemen when you're in the city!

I asked the owner for the most traditional Yemeni meal and I was served a delicious meal with salad, soup, rice, lamb, and a side of potatoes and carrots. All the food looked like it would be bland but it was packed of delicious flavor!! Service was quick even though it was busy during lunch and the owner was by himself. The seating was simple but the food was my best meal in Baltimore! I also loved the tasty mini guava juice - super refreshing and sweet!

Little hole in the wall in Fells Point that's definitely worth stopping for. The staff was polite and helpful. Delicious food that makes fantastic leftovers. The lamb soup (marag if you're trying to look it up online) was a highlight as I had never tried it before. Good baba ghanoush, tender and flavorful agdah lamb and perfectly cooked vegetables. There's a communal tea dispenser in the dining room. It got a little chaotic with both the patrons laughing and cutting up and the owner's kids running around and taking tea to patrons upstairs. I love that this is a place where people can just be with each other over food; it felt homey and comforting.

Unbelievable flavors at unbeatable prices. The lamb fahsa was our favorite main, but the okra side in a tomatoey sauce was addictive. Got out of bed to finish it at 4 am! The sweet clove tea is a perfect touch and the baklava is the not-sticky-sweet kind, which I infinitely prefer.

Went here for dinner after a happy hour in Fells and wasn't disappointed. Friendly staff and good prices. The lamb hummus was incredible - some of the best I've ever had. The chicken kabsah didn't blow me away but was solid. Be warned that the sauce that comes with it is INCREDIBLY spicy so not for the faint of heart or stomach. I'll be sure to be back for the hummus soon - would make a great takeout dinner.

They really know how to warm a lonely soul by their food... I wish I live closer so I can visit more often. I love the yogurt and tea, which I cannot have by ordering food delivery...

Yemeni & Gulf Restaurant, tucked slightly off the beaten path, is an absolute gem, boasting a dive atmosphere that screams authenticity. If you're an adventurous foodie, this place is a must-visit. The lamb haneeth, Yemen's national dish, is a standout with perfectly tender lamb and flawlessly seasoned rice. The chicken kabsa, Saudi Arabia's national dish, is equally impeccable. The staff, just as they tend to be in any Arabian restaurant, are very accommodating and friendly. Sometimes there's a little bit of a language barrier, but just be patient. I swear to you that it will be worth it. While the restaurant is a haven for meat lovers, they also offer excellent vegetarian options, making it a versatile choice for any group. Whether you're a seasoned food explorer or introducing friends to Middle Eastern delights, Yemeni & Gulf Restaurant promises a culinary journey that satisfies all tastes.

Summary: Went back for round 2 before I could even write my first review. Although I usually try to weigh my Yelp score based on a few different factors, ever so rarely, there's a time when the food is so spectacular that it blows everything else out of the water. We've had a few dishes here - meat with hummus, lamb sandwich wrap, fahsah, masoub - everything has been top notch. The dining space is on the smaller side, it can get loud with other patrons and the places is a hole-in-the-wall type of establishment, but all of that disappears as soon as you take a bite of that sandwich wrap. The pricing is very good and you get plenty of food and the service has always been great.

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.
