Abu Yemen Kitchen

Heard about this spot from a few people, had to stop by today for lunch. Friendly lady who greeted me and explained their menu. I decided to get the diced lamb over rice. Flavorful and tender. Asked for some hot sauce and it was a compliment. Next time, I will try the lamb shank and perhaps a wrap. They also have deserts that aren't too sweet. Yum! Over all, clean, good service and tasty food. #SOLitFood

Came on a week end night, and ordered a bowl to go. I am going to write and unpopular opinion, but I though Halal Guys are better.I showed up and order lamb over rice, it took them a 15+ minutes to actually cook my food. This could be a good sign, means fresh, but I wanted it spicy, and well, I did not get spicy. I also ordered 2 baklavas, I will say those were the saving grace. If you are here for a quick lunch, don't skip out on the desserts.

This is probably my new favorite spot in this area of the lake. I recommend passing by if youre in the area. Ive been here a handful of times but from what I got today, I was compelled to let the Yelposphere know how great of a deal you get. I ordered their Rice Bowl with Lamb Shank as the protein. A whole lamb shank, still on the bone. The shank is tender and my to go box was so full the lid wasnt able to be closed all the way. The food is delicious and they have a variety of desserts to choose from. For what you pay, this is one of the best deals around. The staff is friendly and theres inside seating if you have time to sit and eat. If you work in the area, let them know.

Driven by the place a good amount, place has a build your own menu, a bit confusing the first time but after that one time you get the hang of it. I ordered a chicken wrap, For the price the wrap is huge. Service is cool, if you on a budget this place is very reasonable. The wrap is good! Definitely worth another visit

New Middle Eastern spot in Oakland. Very nice and friendly staff, very clean and fast service.The food is very tasty with all the sauces and condiments you can get on the side to add to taste.You can tell the freshness of the food even though it comes out fast.Also first time I've had middle eastern food in a bowl style. They are very creative with the baklava and other desserts you have to try out the desserts The prices also are amazing for what you get.

Second time coming in & loved it once again! The fries were yummy, the lamb was juicy & flavorful and the veggies were fresh! The workers were super friendly, happy to advise on what toppings to get & let us sample some desserts. Make sure to check this place out!!!

Great new spot! This restaurant is Cava/Chipotle style of ordering which I really liked! The food was flavorful, the portions were good, and the service/ambiance was awesome. Since this place just opened last week, they have a free drink with my order. I had a lot of questions and the works were super kind and explained what each of the food/desserts were. Speaking of desserts, I cannot stop thinking of how delicious they were! Definitely check this place out if you are in the area.

New quick serve restaurant for dine in and take out. Food was delicious, flavorful and the portions are very generous for the price. Service was very friendly and attentive. Same concept as Chipotle for reference but with Middle Eastern cuisine and family run not big corporate. Lots of options for main meals, sides, and desserts.

You'lo got to try their food (delicious) and I also got myself some treat "BASBOUSA"
