there was a weird african American guy “ homeless “ but violent and rude making everyone uncomfortable, but the staff didn’t care or asked him to leave, i had to leave and take my food to go. Didn’t feel safe
Meat was not all fresh, 3 pieces in total , 2 was freshly cooked , and the 3rd was kinda old from morning maybe, bread was burnt ,

By far the best Yemeni food in Michigan. The food has so much flavor and always get more than what you pay for. They give you the best quantity and quality food! Also the tea there is free and the tea is as authentic Yemeni tea as it gets. Overall can’t rate it high enough!!
First of all, the server Tarek was top-notch and number one! Very professional young man. Can't say enough of his kindness and customer service.
Secondly, the food was delicious and savory. We shared the Combo#2 and added two lamb chops. The Lamb Haneeth and the Tuna Fahsah were outstanding! The Falafel wrap--excellent. The bread is plenty. There were six of us and was enough for us all. We loved every little bite of everything.
This place is nestled in the town of Hamtramck. If you want top-notch Yemen food, this is the place to get it. Bon Appétit and enjoy the culinary experience.

First time eating Yemen food and I love it. Didn’t realize the portions are very generous. I think we could have ordered 4 dishes for the 5 of us and will still have leftovers.
The honey covered bread is a must to start with, I also like the stew lamb and chicken. The grilled kabobs were good but I feel like I have similar kabobs in other middle eastern restaurants.
Feel very authentic as we were the only non middle eastern folks eating there tonight😄

Yemen Cafe has been recommended me since I’ve moved to the area. I hear it’s the spot! It is! My partner and I popped by and were not disappointed. The food was delicious, affordable, and abundant! I had leftovers. We got hummus as well which was fantastic with the bread they served it with. I will DEFINITELY be coming back.
Went here for lunch on a work trip! Food was excellent, and atmosphere was great! Would not go anywhere else four authentic cuisine!
Had a delightful experience at Yemen Cafe! The Lamb Haneet and Beef Gallaba were fantastic—flavors were rich and satisfying. Although the shish kabob was a bit burnt, the staff promptly addressed it with a discount, demonstrating excellent customer service. While the food impressed, there's room for improvement in service. Overall, a tasty dining choice with potential for an even better experience.
We were visiting Detroit and heard about this place from a friend and thought of giving it a try. I will cut the chase and say it as it is. It’s not great.
Chicken was burnt, rice wasn’t cooked very well, grilled chicken was dry. Chops were not tender and were burnt. Seating arrangement is not good, place is very unclean.
Servers are nice folks, they are quick and well behaved.
If you are looking for a high standard middle eastern or Yemeni food then I wouldn’t recommend this place.
