Sheeba Restaurant - West Dearborn

Was fortunate enough to find Sheeba on our stopover in Dearborn. I can’t praise the food at this place enough. The lamb Fahsa is to die for!! Abdul, our server, did us a solid by upselling it to us when we ordered Sheeba platter with Haneeth. The Fahsa stole the show. Piping hot and boiling in a clay pot out of the tandoor (clay oven). Everything they cook is slow cooked and fall off the bone. It paired up perfectly with potatoes. The pita is also baked in the clay oven. Amazing value for a family meal. In the end Abdul surprised us with his hospitality and served us one of the best middle eastern tea we’ve had - Yemeni chai. Dearborn is on my list again just for the Fahsa here! Thank you Abdul 🥰

Our experience at Sheeba was great. The waitress gave us great recommendations since we weren’t familiar with their drinks, food, or desserts. Their Sheeba for 2 is a bit pricey, but it is a massive platter that you will for sure have leftovers from. The lamb is the highlight. It tastes great and falls right off the bone. The falafel is nice and dense, but we didn’t get the sauce with it that is stated on the menu, so it was a bit dry. The mango lassi is thick and creamy and full of flavor. Definitely go for that if unsure of what to drink. The fattah is a bit too sweet of a dessert for me, but I shared it with 2-3 other people so it worked out great.

There's a front and a back entrance to this restaurant apparently. I came in for lunch on a Friday and there wasn't a wait. The food was tasty and it seemed like the whole staff was pitching in for the service. Overall I was satisfied with my meal. I'd like to go back to try other things on the menu.

Excellent Yemeni food and hospitality! The lamb haneeth was tender, flavorful, and served with delicious rice and vegetables. The complimentary broth and fresh sauces were excellent. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and had a warm atmosphere. The staff were friendly and the service was prompt. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Yemeni cuisine in Michigan.

Two stars. I have been going to Sheeba Restaurant in downtown West Dearborn since I was a child but I still feel the same way every time I walk in at 22 years old. The place desperately needs a full renovation. It feels musty inside and you can clearly smell the foundation mold building up around the space. The atmosphere just is not it. I ordered two chicken shawarmas because I wanted to try the Yemeni style. Almost a year ago I ate over 30 chicken shawarmas in one month while searching for the best ones and had never tried a Yemeni version. I waited nearly an hour. First they said they were working on it then a young man came out 30 to 45 minutes later and told me he had to run to the local supermarket to buy bread for my sandwiches. I specifically put no tomatoes in the order instructions and even reminded the worker when we spoke about the bread. Both sandwiches still had tomatoes. The wait and mistakes made for a very disappointing experience. I really hope they renovate the place soon and improve operations. It has potential but right now it is not worth it for me. 1 helpful point for the way they packaged/presented my order.
