This is a wonderful, authentic spot for middle eastern food. It’s a small place so can get full quickly. Recommend to get a reservation. The staff is very friendly. Service was quick and food was tasty. We enjoyed our lunch and overall experience.

honestly, this place is simply amazing. A LOT of food!! Very delicious. Great service!! We had their famous lamb dish, chicken dish, and chicken gyro, and lamb/ beef gyro. The traditional coffee was so good!! It looks like it’s just yellow water but it’s a must try. Love this place. Will go back!

I love Middle Eastern/African food and we can't find good places like this in Harrisburg. I'd definitely return here this fall or winter. When we went we were lucky it wasn't crowded and got a table right away. The hummus tasted so fresh and was very tangy & savory & they give enough bread for 3 people for the appetizer. Definitely didn't taste like old refrigerated hummus. The rice was light & fluffy. They give plenty of rice. We took 2 entrees home because they give large portions. Just looking at my photos makes me salivate now.

The food. Is. So. Good. Literally such high quality ingredients AND cooking. I had a protein bowl with shish tawuk and it was delectable. The chai Adani… delightful. As good as it gets for Yemeni food. Servers were so nice. Had a great time hanging out with my friend and price wasn’t too bad. 50 dollars for two protein bowls and two chai Adanis (including tip). Pretty good for old city! Definitely will come back again. Also, all the meat is halal! Such a cute and cozy atmosphere. A must try in old city.

I came here back in September last year and always put off making a review. But the food was so bad that I absolutely had to make a review and warn other people who've ACTUALLY had Yemeni food. The food is absolutely whitewashed and tastes nothing like food I've had in Brooklyn(ex. Yemen Cafe) and Dearborn Michigan. The food tasted WATERED DOWN and the restaurant smelled like dogs. I was nauseous with the dog smell and flavorless food. There were basic things that tasted decent like Shish Taouk platter but it's one of the most basic dishes to follow in any middle eastern restaurant. The lamb Fahsa was flavorless and nothing like what I've had at family owned Yemeni restaurants. The meat and gravy wasn't the same, the meat wasn't soft and in a really low quantity, the gravy was soupy, and I think I recall potatoes and okra in the Fahsa- I've never had potatoes in Fahsa. The potatoes made the dish harder to eat because they were flavorless and mouth-burning. Maybe this was just a different recipe for fahsa but I always questioned if the potatoes and okra were added in the flavorless dish to make it more "exotic" but somewhat familiar to it's customers. We also ordered a soup which was basically Lamb Fahsa without the meat, it was the same exact broth. So I'm assuming this fahsa is veggie-based. I was really looking forward to eating here but nothing here tasted similar to the spices and seasonings I've had before with Yemeni food. I had to add salt to almost everything I ate. For dessert, we had Kunafa. Guys, how do you mess up kunafa. The kunafa barely had any syrup, it was kind of soggy, and the cream in the kunafa wasn't sweet at all. It just tasted bad. If you don't want authentic Yemeni food, come here. If you can't handle seasonings of another culture, come here. I came here from New Jersey thinking a 5-star Yemeni place had to be amazing, but of course it was a complete disappointment. Go to a family owned restaurant where the restaurant doesn't cater to the palette of people who are unfamiliar with their cuisine. The staff was extremely friendly but this is one of the worst food experiences I've ever had.

A really nice Yemeni restaurant. The staff is very friendly. The food is well cooked, tender and very yummy. Service is quick. The chef Muhammed is amazing and personally talked to everyone!

Food is 100% halal. This Yemeni place has amazing food. The Haneeth fell off the bone and had a lot of flavor. The rice pudding was very nice and had great flavor. Hummus was amazing too. If ever on a road trip go check this place out

First time here with no regrets. Environment and atmosphere is very warm and friendly. The owner and chef Mohammad went over the top with the quality of food and service, same goes for my wonderful and attentive waiter Henry. Mohammad even brought out a dish of rice he wanted me to try, complimentary. Everything was delicious. I’ll definitely be back again, thank you!

Tried Malooga for the first time on NYE. The place had a very nice vibe. We were seated right in front of the basement door which had high traffic and people kept bumping into us. The food was immaculate though. We tried the stuffed grape leaves, the hummus shawarma and the lamb haneeth. The hummus was delicious. Grape leaves were good, but unexpectedly cold. The lamb haneeth was falling off the bone, so tender and perfectly complimented the saffron rice. Will be back to try the other entrees!

Ordered the Lamb Haneeth with the cucumber and yogurt fusion. For dessert, I had the Areka. Everything was delicious and very nicely plated. Everything was neatly decorated and clean. The chef/owner was extremely kind and truly has a passion for cooking. Will definitely visit every time I’m in Philadelphia!
