We had take out from this busy Yemeni/Middle Eastern street food restaurant. Interesting choices and obviously cooked with passion My Huda roll was stuffed with spiced meat and some rice, and I was recommended to use my spoon to eat some of the filling before attempting the full sandwich - I did, and it was definitely spicy, and very tasty. Big portion so be prepared. We ordered some fresh hummus as a side - very earthy and thick, and gently spiced. Not overwhelmed by garlic or lemon, or watery like some other places. Loved it. We also tried the chicken and rice, very well prepared - soft chunks of chicken breast with a sweet/spicy sauce with raisins, almonds and caramelized onions. Again, spicy and delicious and very more-ish. They also sell Vimto - a fizzy drink, and a blast from my past in Manchester, fruity and complex, great cold. Good people, nice restaurant, interesting food - give it a try, you'll love it! Such a hidden gem with really kind service. Like really kind. Food was very tasty too wirh a very unique kitchen. But i wished the portions would be a bit bigger (also because it was so good). Recommend for everyone This is mainly a takeaway but has a few seats inside. Th

I have been living in Rome for almost a year now and I can confirm that this is my favorite place in the whole city. The variety of food allows for anybody with a small to large appetite to indulge in the wonders that Nada and Samantha dish up. From their sandwiches to their soups, everything is bite is packed with flavor. My favorite is the sandwich known as the Aya. As seen in the picture, no crumbs were left. It has been my go to and even though the rest of their menu is phenomenal (I have had the pleasure to try the majority of it), this easily takes the spotlight. However, one of the things I have failed to mention, is that the reason the food is met with such high praise is because it is a direct reflection of the way they (the staff) see the relationship of themselves with food. They pride themselves on quality and subsequently their food is the highest standard of it. This is furthered by the environment they put you in as Nada and Samantha make you feel welcome and at home when eating here. It is an incomparable experience and I would highly recommend eating here!
