Al-aseel Yemeni Restaurant

Excellent, authentic Yemeni cuisine. We went for lunch (in Yemen, the traditional main meal of the day), and had ful medames, salta, and grilled whole fish. All were delicious, reminding me of my time in Yemen years ago. Excellent service and reasonable prices. Be sure to check out the beautiful photos of Yemen on the walls. A fun place to go when you are in the mood to try something different.

Fantastic, unique Yemeni cuisine! More likely than not the only one of its kind in the Raleigh area. Staff was very attentive and welcoming and really took care of us. Free tea at the front makes for a cozy atmosphere. Will most definitely return.

A new restaurant that was opened few months ago.

The meals were great. I ordered the Lamb Haneeth and it was done in a great way, well marinated and delicious.
A friend of mine, ordered the half charcoal grilled chicken and the taste was plain and normal.

One downside is that, it you ordered water, they will hand you a bottle of water, no cups and no ice. It's the same issue with soft drinks which looked cheap to me.

All the food that we got was impressively delicious. I would go back in a heartbeat. The server was friendly and helpful with recommendations as well. Everything we had was well prepared and not just your run of the mill middle Eastern food. The service here is on the slower and more relaxed side of things. This is a fairly new restaurant and I hope will continue and only improve with time.
