  “I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was authentic, fresh, and full of rich Arabic flavors. The Mandi Lamb were perfectly cooked, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great place for family and friends. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Arabic cuisine in Birmingham. I will definitely visit again!”

  “It is hit an miss for me really... First time we ordered beans, soups, fahsa, roast and rice and it was nice. Next time we ordered a platter which also was good. Today we wanted to try something different for a brunch and ordered Saltah and lahsa. And that's where things went wrong. Their description on the menu doesn't really represent what the dish really is.... Lahsa is described as an egg dish with tomatoes and cheese. It was a kind of a fluffy omelette with some white sauce poured on top, definitely not cheese or maybe it was mixed with something else or maybe they forgot to add cheese? The last option could be that it was some kind of different soft cheese, native to Yemen and nothing like what we would expect here. Regardless it was still a nice dish. But the second dish was a total disappointment Saltah is described in their menu as: "traditional stew of tender meat and vegetables, topped with fenugreek foam". Sounds yummy right? Wrong. What we were served was a watery dish of a minced mutton with that strong fatty taste and rubbery pieces inside, mixed with rice and a few pieces of potatoes. Not sure about the fenugreek foam part. Description of the dish was very misleading, there was nowhere mentioned it contains rice and mutton mince. Even Google was confused and showed a different looking dish than what we were served... I think Diafa should have added in their menu that it is their own version of this traditional stew, be very clear about the rice and mutton mince because I was expecting some chunks of meat with vegetables in a stew. No idea where the fenugreek was (no seeds detected, no taste of the powder, dried of fresh fenugreek). There was something white on the top, similar to what we had on the eggs. It was a disappointing meal unfortunately.”

  “Scrumptious food with fresh ingredients. The family naan like bread is simply delicious and a great accompaniment to the main dishes. Plus they give you complementary soup and tea too! Service is very friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend it.”

  “Lovely place, great service and exceptional food. We got the breads, hummus, lamb kabsa and the grilled fish. Great portion sizes, fresh and tasty. The lamb soup they gave as an appetiser was beautiful. Would highly recommend and would definitely go again.”

  “Amazing food. The staff and owner came over and introduced themselves. Through out the experience they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything and brought over a few things for us to try. The complimentary dates were some of the best dates I’ve had”
