" If you want authentic Yemeni food in a homey atmosphere, Al-Diar is the place to visit. The lamb haneeth was divine, and the flavors were on point!

" I must say, my experience at Al-Diar was truly exceptional! From entering the restaurant, the aroma of freshly cooked spices was intoxicating. I tried several dishes: the lamb mandi, chicken haneeth, and even ventured into their adeni tea. Each dish was marvelous, particularly the lamb which was incredibly tender and fell right off the bone. The service was top-notch with staff who were eager to explain the dishes and ensured we had what we needed. I particularly appreciated the authenticity, reminiscent of traditional Yemeni homes. It was a bit crowded during my visit, which is a testament to how loved this place is! I will definitely be recommending it to my friends and family. " (*Curated Review*)
