Uncle Taher is under new management, and the food offers a Yemeni flavor I’ve honestly never experienced before. I’ve been eating Yemeni food for more than 30 years, and this place truly surprised me. The soup alone deserves special mention — its thickness and depth of flavor are simply unexplainable. Rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced, it tastes like something that can only come from generations of experience. The Lamb Haneeth is outstanding. Tender, perfectly cooked, and deeply flavorful, it falls apart effortlessly and carries that slow-cooked, traditional taste that defines real Yemeni cuisine. This is a family-owned business, and you can feel that love in every bite. The mother is the chef, and her cooking has that rare, authentic homemade touch that’s becoming hard to find thes

★★★★☆ 4.0 Arya Phatak · Mar 2025

It was our first time here. We ordered hummus, adeni chai, chicken kabsa and chicken agda curry. Came with 3 naans on the side. Loved the chai- flavorful and delicious, just the perfect amount of sugar. Loved the hummus. Chicken kabsa was good. Curry was served in a stone pot so it gave a slightly smoky flavor to it. Everything was low on salt. Hope they improve that. Service was quick and friendly.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and I highly recommend it! The service was great and the restaurant was very clean. Even the bathrooms were clean. Our food did not take long and was fresh and piping hot. The flavor was amazing. We had the mixed grill family style platters and fahsa mix. The 3 of us were full and satisfied. I look forward to returning soon!

The decor is beautiful and our first time trying out Yemeni cuisine. We had tried cheese, lamb, and potato sambusa. All three were good. However, we had asked for chicken but received cheese instead. We had ordered zurvian lamb with rice that came with salad & soup. The sauce on the salad was the best. The lamb smell was overpowering but my spouse liked it. Everything was good. Will return to try chicken next time.

I was waiting for this place to open and came across it recently; they been open for a month now. I tried the zurbian chicken. The meal comes with soup (Maraq) and salad and zahawuq (spicy sauce) which was delicious. Honestly the soup was one of the better ones I’ve tried!! The menu has a good variety and I’d def go back to try some more food. You can see they have a hot food window so some food is fresh and ready to be served. I did not get to try the bread.. yet. I ended my meal with their self serve delicious Yemeni tea. Lovely service and good music. I had a great meal. Will definitely be back. Also the man did not charge me tax from the register because I was being taxed by the credit card machine and he didn’t want to double tax me. I was taken back. May all Halal businesses flourish
