Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The menu at Middle Eastern Restaurant Liverpool is a crowd-pleaser, especially the Lamb Mendi, a must-try specialty that showcases the restaurant's authentic culinary roots. Diners rave about the generous portion sizes and the delicate balance of spices in each dish, making every bite memorable. Guests often highlight the friendly and attentive service, with staff who are eager to recommend dishes or explain the unique flavors that define Yemeni cuisine. The dessert selection, particularly the Fatteh Banana and Dates, finds its own fan club, celebrated as a sweet end to a fulfilling meal. Furthermore, the ambiance strikes a great balance, making it a wonderful spot for both quick bites and more leisurely meals.
Most Disliked
Some diners have observed that certain dishes, like the gravy for the Mandi, could be served warmer, which might detract from an otherwise perfect meal. Occasional wait times during peak hours can be a challenge, especially on busy Sundays when the restaurant reaches full capacity. While the dishes are generally loved, the need for finer temperature control has been noted by a few, suggesting room for refinement in the cooking process. Despite these minor concerns, patrons find the overall quality and taste of the food far outweigh any negatives, often leading to a returned visit regardless of these points.

An amazing experience! Honestly, I didn’t expect to find a restaurant in Liverpool that could transport me straight back to Yemen. This place makes you live the moment — from the flavors to the aromas and even the way the food is served. I tried the liver (kabda), which was fresh and cooked perfectly in the traditional Yemeni style, as well as the rashous, with its unique taste that reminds you of a morning breakfast back home. And the milk tea (haleeb shai) at the end makes you feel like your spirit has left the UK and returned to a warm, cozy home in Yemen. A truly memorable experience — a place that deserves all the appreciation ❤️🇾🇪 9

Food and service was excellent. Staff were really helpful and showed us the food to make sure we had ordered correctly. We had a takeaway (although eating in also looked like a good option). We were brought lots of free extras to try while our food was being prepared. The food itself was amazing (we had mixed kebab, and a Sea Bass). Quantities were large and beautifully cooked. Highly recommended. Would definitely use again. Great value.

Good people, good food. Not my type of eating in place, but the takeaway food was fresh and tasty. Portions were large so one portion can feed two people. I'd recommend the lamb chops. Go on the weekend for the freshest food.
