The food is very delicious and the staff are very kind and accommodating especially the little mohd :)


Great food, very friendly owner.


I recently stumbled into Empire and I was pleasantly surprised to find a new Yemeni restaurant. The owner welcomed me with a warm smile and made a suggestion of a roasted lamb sandwich! Additionally, I was greeted with a Lamb broth soup as I waited for my sandwich. The soup with the lime squeeze really kicked the flavor profile up a few notches. Once I received the sandwich, wow - silky smooth lamb with a kick of hot sauce and the toasted bread - A+++. Highly recommend and can’t wait to try other dishes. Great addition to the neighborhood.

Delicious food, better people. The nicest vibes. Ask the owner about the daily special, the day we came in it was okra and lamb stew with Yemeni bread and it was aaamazing! My wife judges halal places based on their sauce game, and here it's on point. Red sauce is killer.

Best arabic food that I have tried since I came to the US. The Fahsa is something else. It's so good and the bread is so fluffy. I would come back to NYC just for this restaurant. It will be a really nice addition if they offer an arabic seating. And I will definitely record it to my friends.

We’ve been here twice so far. The food has been amazing both times. We got a side of bread today and it was hot, fresh, and delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back. Hope to see it bustling soon!

This place has decent shawarma but the real star so the yemeni food also served out of the kitchen. The fool and lamb mandi were both spectacular and as good as I have had. Portions were typically generous and the staff was kind and attentive

Fantastic Shawarma wraps. The white sauce is divine. The perfect quick lunch. My only complaint is the service was little rough. The person who took our order (and cooked the food) did not look happy to be there. Considering New Yorkers are the friendliest people on the planet, I expected a bit of pep in his step.

Ordered chicken shawarma with white sauce, baked chicken & spicy chicken with spicy yellow rice. The owner also gave us samples of their hot bread with garlic, hummus & baba ghanooj sauces. We also received a complimentary mint tea with real mint leaves. Everything was refreshingly light, amazingly seasoned and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The food was superb & I will definitely be returning & bringing friends.
