Balqees was a beautiful experience, fasting all day for Ramadan this place hit the spot. Greeted by the most lovely staff, I was seated in very comfortable chairs, surrounded by the most awe-inspiring Yemeni art pieces.

This place is great! They seem to use more spices than the other places. If you want more intense flavors, this is the place to go! The lamb haneeth or lamb zurbian are the best things on the menu.

Lamb Hanith full meal did not come with 3 pieces as promised. Chicken Galaba was dry and Lamb Fahsa was not the best that I tasted. Gemini food in general my favorite cuisine so I do understand when a dis is not well prepared. Cus

Everything was perfect from the food to the service! The chicken was super tender and moist, packed with a ton of flavor. The rice was well-seasoned and the veggies added a different taste to the dish. I’ve been to many Yemeni restaurants and this one is definitely underrated. Highly recommend trying it out!
