Great experience at Taj Al-Yemen! The food was delicious, full of authentic flavors, and well-prepared. However, I found that the salt in some dishes was a bit low for my taste. That said, the service was excellent—the waiters were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a wonderful place to enjoy Yemeni cuisine, and I’d definitely visit again
Taj Al Yeman offers a delightful breakfast with exceptional service. The food is delicious, ranging from traditional Yemeni dishes to international favorites. The staff is warm and attentive, and the ambiance is cozy yet elegant. Definitely worth returning for more!
I went to Taj AL-Yemen simply because it was open early and did not realize the space they took over nor how much variety they have. 1st this was a very famous breakfast spot in Hamtramck before the change of owners and I'm happy to say it still is. Very steady stream of workers coming in for a quick bite or grab coffee and something to go. 2nd the variety is wide and it's all very very good. I ordered fosoulia with egg, chicken galaba but it was too early for tandoori bread. I also got a mango lassi (yes I have to order it everytime I see it) When I arrived I first drove past remembering the old spot then I double checked GPS. The inside layout of the restaurant has been redone, lots and lots of seating. You still have the doughnut counter but the I noticed Burek, whenever I see Burek I have to order it they have feta and spiced beef. It's super fresh and still warm at 7:15 am. There's another hot food case, lots of choices but I saw the East African/Western Arabian (Arab/Swahili) style sambosas (yes with the B!) and of course I had to get 6 of those with the spice shake. Additionally they have the same Arab/Swahili style sesame + honey crackers so I had to get some of these as well. FINALLY I'm looking and they have the tastiest looking Saffron Rice and it was too fresh to pass up and a medium size box also had to come with me. Now when I say I bought a lot of food I really mean I bought a lot of food. With tip it was only $70 and I'll be eating for days. So happy to have found this gem in Hamtramck that opens up super early on my 2nd day of vacation. There's too much good food, the doughnut also look amazing. I'd say you have to go for the samBosas alone.
