Taiz Restaurant

مطعم تعز · أصالة المطبخ اليمني

Authentic Yemeni food, slow-cooked the way Taiz does it.

Tender lamb Mandi from the tannour pit, bubbling Saltah, warm bread straight from the oven and sweet Adeni tea. Come hungry, bring the family, and taste real Yemeni cuisine.

Why Taiz

Three reasons guests keep coming back

6 hrs

Slow, the real way

Our Mandi rests for hours over coals in a sealed tannour, so the meat falls from the bone and the rice soaks up every drop of flavor.

Hawaij

Spices blended in-house

We grind our own hawaij, cardamom and cumin blends every week from whole spices. That is the smell that greets you at the door.

Sufra

Big platters, family majlis rooms and generous Yemeni hospitality. Bring your friends, your family or your whole team.

Guest reviews

What our guests say after the last bite

The lamb Mandi was so tender it fell apart with a spoon. The rice alone is worth the trip. It tastes just like home.
Ahmed S.
Family dinner
My first time trying Yemeni food. The Saltah came out bubbling in a stone pot and the bread was still hot. I am already planning my next visit.
Sarah M.
First visit
They catered our company lunch for 60 people. Everything arrived on time, hot and beautifully presented. Everyone asked where it came from.

Our story

Named after the city where our recipes were born

Taiz sits in the green highlands of Yemen, a city known for its markets, its coffee and its cooking. Our family brought those recipes with us, and we cook them the same way today.

Your table is waiting. The Mandi is already in the oven.
