Reviews for Yemen Kitchen in San Francisco, CA
This is an absolute gem. I came in late in the evening before they were about to close. I asked what was good on the menu and... was told to have the lamb. Lamb normally takes a long time to order at other restaurants, but the service was extremelyquick. When Mahmoud first brought out the dish I was absolutely delighted. It's so much food for one person. As I was startingto eat, I realized it had been months since I had actually had some lamb that was this good. This food is seriously good and youhave to try it. Don't dismiss this restaurant because of its location. The people here are very sincere and the food isauthentic. Read more
Great little restaurant! My 14 y.o. daughter and I had a wonderful lunch yesterday! I had a meat stew (it was great). She had... a "chicken sandwich" (that was really a wrap). She enjoyed it. Very unique flavors. The location is a bit of a challenge...but, the food was well worth it. Read more

Authentic, delicious Yemeni food prepared with care. Homely decor with photos of the owner's football teams, and yellowed... newspaper clippings. Eat here and you will not complain. I got the lunch special Roasted Lamb. Read more
I went for walk in search of middle eastern food and found this place and was surprised with this hole in wall place. The... restaurant is very small and not a sit down restaurant kinda place and more like Togo place but have the tell the food here isreally tasty. I was really surprised with the taste and quality of food, will definitely come back to this place. Highlyrecommend the saltah! The person who was serving was also really nice :-) Read more
The food at Yemen Kitchen delicious. Lamb kabsa was awesome and portion big. Great customer service. Highly recommended!
Really great food and nice people running the place. Small seating area in spartan surroundings. It’s a bit of a rough... neighborhood, but you knew that already. Well worth the expedition. Pick a bunch of dishes and get the Yemeni bread to go alongwith them. Read more
One of my favorite spots in SF. Excellent traditional food and prices, especially for lunch time before 3pm. We usually get one... roasted lamb dish which is enough for two people. Also the Chai is made to order, and still only $2. Hope they get to expandone day and bring their dishes to a wider audience. Read more
