About Yemendi Restaurant

Communal platters piled high with fall-off-the-bone lamb and spiced rice define Yemendi—Beverly Hills’ quiet answer to honest Yemeni hospitality. Diners gather on floor cushions in the majlis seating area, greeted first by bowls of warm, complimentary lamb broth. The slow-cooked haneeth lamb slides clean off the bone alongside seasoned grains and house-made salsa. No canned soft drinks here—meals wrap up over steaming glasses of spiced Yemeni milk tea.

  • Communal Mandi Platters: Generous platters of slow-cooked lamb and chicken served over seasoned rice with house salsa.
  • Ground-Level Dining: Traditional floor-level majlis seating alongside tables amid lanterns and Middle Eastern decor.
  • Welcome Broth: Every meal begins with a complimentary cup of comforting, savory lamb soup broth.

Experience authentic Yemeni hospitality with slow-cooked communal feasts and traditional ground seating.

  • Complimentary welcoming broth

    Guests are greeted at their tables with warm, comforting cups of complimentary seasoned lamb broth before entrees arrive.

    They provide a welcome broth that's very refreshing.

  • Heritage-inspired Yemeni atmosphere

    Intricately styled cultural decor, lanterns, and antique metalwork immediately evoke the warmth of traditional Middle Eastern dining.

    It really feels like a cultural and heritage-inspired restaurant, not just a regular place to eat.

  • Authentic spiced house teas

    Authentic house-brewed spiced black teas and Yemeni milk teas replace standard commercial beverages.

    The Yemeni tea was also a highlight and paired beautifully with the meal.

  • Traditional Arab ground seating

    Dedicated floor-level majlis seating allows families and parties to share platters communally in comfort.

    They also have an arab style seating area similar to how its in the middle east for larger groups to dine in.

  • Exceptional value for group feasts

    Platters deliver generous shared portions at an accessible price point that easily accommodate groups.

    Also we ended spending only $70 between the 4 of us and we were full and sat satisfied.

Signature slow-cooked lamb cuts and communal mixed platters served over spiced rice

  • Haneeth Lamb Mandi

    We ordered the Haneeth Lamb Mandi and my friend ordered the chicken Mandi along with an extra Mandi chicken. I also ordered the Arabian tea. Every item was delicious and the staff are great.

  • Lamb Shoulder Mandi

    The food is exceptional (We had a lamb shoulder mandi, mix shoulder mandi with chicken and haneed), the rice is full of flavour and the meats are so tender and juicy

  • Mixed Mandi

    The mixed mandi was absolutely delicious — full of flavour, perfectly cooked, and a great way to experience authentic Yemeni cuisine.

  • Lamb Shank Mandi

    I ordered the Lamb Shank Mandi, and it was delicious. The lamb was soft, tender, and full of flavour.

Thoughtful cultural hospitalities and dining touches that elevate your shared feast

  • Traditional Arab-Style Ground Seating

    Diners can choose authentic Middle Eastern majlis-style floor seating designed for communal family and group dining.

  • House Spiced Teas & Specialty Drinks

    Instead of standard Western soft drinks, meals are paired with house-made Yemeni spiced milk tea, Arabian tea, and black tea with mint.

  • Attentive Hospitality & Generous Service Gestures

    When unexpected misunderstandings or special catering requests occur, management provides entire extra platters on the house or arranges direct personal delivery.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on timing, group ordering, and seating options for your visit.

  • Navigate Weekend Rush and Transit

    Friday and Sunday evenings draw peak crowds with queues down King Georges Road, so plan to arrive early or consider walking three minutes from nearby Beverly Hills Station.

  • Calibrate Generous Portion Sizes

    Rice platters and meat servings are exceptionally generous, meaning a combination plate easily feeds more guests than listed—order moderately before adding extras.

  • Opt for Traditional Ground Seating

    Diners seeking an authentic cultural experience can opt for traditional majlis-style floor seating, which is well-suited for families and communal groups.
