Great food! All the appetizers are amazing and their entrees are all so unique and very delicious. The mint lemonade was top notch. The spices and different ingredients used come together so nicely with the right amount of flavor. The service is always wonderful and will definitely be back there soon! Oh and the desserts were wonderful also!

Well lit dining area with Middle Eastern music softly playing in the background. It was my first time having Yemeni food. Our server was very patient and described some of his favorite dishes and the ones we were questioning. I got the Sautéed shrimp, very flavorful. I thought it was gonna be spicy, but it wasn't. I finished my meal with Shai' Adeni (Yemeni tea)- it was amazing and I'd honestly come back just for that!My sister had the Fahsa Salta (lamb stew). She liked the flavor and the big chunks of lamb in the dish. I don't like lamb, but the stew was good. There is a plate of dates on each table. They were soft and sweet.

This is the first time we and we came here for breakfast on a cold Saturday, not a lot of people. We ordered Fasolia(the one on top, scrambled eggs with white beans), Kibda(left, lamb liver), Sauted Shrimp (right). Both Kibda and Sauted Shrimp came in with sizzling plate, making them even more intriguing. Surprisingly, the kinda was not gamey as I expected at all(1st time having Yemeni dish but I do have eat variety of liver dishes before). The shrimp was also good, it was bouncy and fresh. Fasolia is also very nice -- it's flavorful but not heavy, but it has beans thus very filling and we pack it home. All 3 dishes came with freshly baked bread and the breads are AMAZING, puffy, crispy and baked to perfection. I can just keep eating it.Will definitely come back as there are so many items we have'nt tried!

Food was delicious. It was our first time trying Yemeni food. Our appetizers were the baba with bread. And we ordered lamb fahsa (which came in a piping hot stone bowl with bread) and lamb shank haneeth. Friendly servers as well. Nice ambiance- plenty of seating available. We will be back!

This was a refreshing change for me. I hadn't tried Yemeni food and thought this would be a good start. It's in a decent location with adequate parking, which always helps. Immediately upon going in we were greeted and seated. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. As to the environment, it is casual and relaxing. The menu looked great and there were several things I wanted to try so my wife and I ordered several things we could share. Everything we tried was delicious, which included lentil soup, fatoush salad with pita bread, chicken haneeth (so tender with wonderful flavor), and saltah, which was vegetarian but honestly my favorite dish. Wonderful.

I brought my wife to Marib on occasion of her birthday. Neither of us had been here before. The atmosphere appeared sophisticated and crisp. I ordered the lamb shank mandi. She ordered the fahsa & saltah. Our food came quickly. I found mine hot an delectable. Hers was still boiling in its granite bowl! I especially liked to apply the green hot sauce to bites of lamb, bread, and rice. My wife found her meal to be a bit spicy despite asking to ensure it was made mild. She politely reported it to our waiter. I shoveled some of my generous rice portion into her bowl, and that seemed to reduce the spiciness to her. The owner also learned of her dismay and made it right by providing her a free serving of baba ghannouge with bread. He also provided her a most exquisite basbosa in two shapes for her birthday. It disappeared quickly. Thus our experience was one we want to repeat!

AMAZING! That's how I would describe this place. Yemeni food is not only underrated but just amazing. It's full of flavor and marries middle eastern flavors with desi flavors. It's rich and delicious. Do yourself a favor and give it a try! That being said the food here is really really good! You have to try the fahsah which is pulled lamb meat served in a boiling cast iron bowl! The baba ghanough with chicken on top is chef's kiss! And the haneeth the meat falls off the bone onto a fragrant rice. It's just really good!The service is excellent! The wait staff is really nice and helpful. The ambiance is very chill and perfect for date night or out with friends! I highly recommend this place to try something different and unique!

Marib Restaurant is located in the commercial area where other businesses are with plenty of parking. I tried this restaurant on my friend's recommendation.It's a nice clean restaurant. Here is my rating for the food and the service.Service- 8/10. Everyone in the store is very nice but some individuals have hard time understanding the ask but no big deal.Food overall: 4/10Appetizer: baba ganouch was good but didn't like Zahawiq with cheese. It's just a watery cream cheese version of salsa.Chicken Mandi: lack flavorsChicken Haneeth: looks and tastes exactly same as Chicken Mandi again lack flavorsChicken Fahsa: was okay as well with too much salt in it.Bread: was the only thing that we thought was 10/10Drinks: lime mint, was okay as well nothing specialTea- it's just a Lipton tea bags.. nothing special.Special Shai- was good.Dessert: we ordered Kunafa, that doesn't look appealing at all.. like it was not freshly prepared but sitting on the counter. We returned that. There were some items like chicken tandoori and some of the coffee drinks that were out of stock. Overall not so great experience. The reason I'm giving two stars because that's how we felt but there is always room to improve you guys :)

Our first time trying Yemeni cuisine. I had to have the lamb shank on rice, not sure if it was the Lamb Mandi, but it was amazing. The second dish was a vegetables stew served sizzling, I couldn't remember the name, but I was told it was a traditional dish, less convincing though. The bread on the other hand was to die for; the typical middle eastern flat bread, freshly made. For dessert we tried Fattah, smashed bread and dates with honey, and served with cream; sweet, but heavy. This was definitely an experience!

Our family recently celebrated a special family occasion at home with amazing food provided by Marib. As long-time lovers of Middle Eastern food and having just read in Washingtonian Magazine about this gem in Springfield, we were anxious to try it out. The owner Mr. Khan was very gracious in responding to questions and making recommendations, and we ended up with a delicious spread of chicken, lamb, and vegetable main dishes (all different, each delicious, with the meats mouthwateringly tender). We also had a lovely spread of appetizers (the shafout was everyone's favorite), salads (excellent!), and fresh bread. The portions were generous, and we enjoyed leftovers the next day. We enjoyed our first experience with this restaurant and look forward to going in person soon.
