Reviews for Sheba al-yemen restaurant in Albany, NY
I went to this place for a quick lunch. I ordered the combo dish they have. The food is good in terms of tastes. Also, meat was... well seasoned and tendered. However, the place needs a serious renovation. They need to improve the cleanliness. Also, servicequality need to be improved. The resturent located in downtown area and have street parking. There are paid parking lotsavailable as well. Read more
Nice Yemeni restaurant in downtown Albany. The guys at the counter were really nice and will help you if you need help. We... ordered Haneeth, Lamb Fahsah and Hummus. Everything was good. If you are in Albany and looking for some Yemeni food look themup, Read more
Have been here multiple times with different friends. Everyone loves their lamb fahsa and bread a lot! Their semi-sweet herbal... tea and flavorful turmeric rice are also great. Affordable! Read more
Definitely go to this restaurant if you're in Albany and don't be fooled by the modest decor. Hands down, amazing food and... hospitality. They start you off with lamb soup on the house and it is amazing , especially on a nice cold day. We got the lambfahsa and the chicken agdah.The flavor profile of the lamb fahsa is bold and incredible. The lamb is tender , shredded andbubbling in the pot when they bring it to your table. It is served with the Yemeni tandoor bread which is lighter than Desi naanbread. They offer a side of tomato and chili paste if you want to spice things up. The chicken agdah had a mild flavor profileif you like that. The chicken was tender and falling off the bones and cooked with potatoes and okra! One dish is good for twopeople if you're not too hungry. The portions are extremely generous for what you pay. Finally, just get their regular black teaor if you are a milk tea person, get the adeni tea. The black tea is bottomless and amazing. The tea really seals the deal forme during the cold weather. You're missing out if you live in Albany and haven't visited this restaurant!! Read more
This rather simple looking restaurant holds a wonderful collection of food that is most certainly one of the best I've ever had!... I travel alot, so I can attest that this is the real authentic middle eastern food! The meats are slow cooked that just comesoff the bones! The price is extremely generous considering their food quality! You do not have to crave middle eastern dishes,if you like meat, it's a must go! This is my regular place now! Read more

Awesome, awesome place! My wife and I tried it for the first time and I'm shocked we hadn't come sooner. Food was fresh, H O T... (temperature-wise) and everything was just delicious. Great service and prices too. Highly highly recommend! Read more
I was looking forward to try something different for dinner and it was different but at best it was average. The chicken was... tender and the rice not so bad. The Fattah tasted good but the appeal was lacking. IMO please add some greens or improve packingto your food to make it more appleaing. Read more
