Diyafa

A simple small yet accommodating Arabic restaurant well known for mandi.
The place was full but waiting period is hardly two minutes. I tried the lamb zarbian and yes it was indeed delicious and rice was well cooked. The lamb chops were tender and cooked well. The soup was outstanding though 10/10. The best I had. It simply Tasted like the famous indian Hyderabadi marag dish. The tomato chilli sauce was freshly made and tasted great with the rice. Food experience 10/10
Coming to service : one of the fair Arabic lady staff with a fair complexion had a bad attitude and she needs some serious customer service training. Initially she took away my menu from the table without asking and when I asked her to please keep it back she seemed to have a problem with that while placing it back on the table. Finally while I was still dining she came and took away the tomato chili sauce popped it in the soup bowl without asking if I was done! When I asked her to please give me the sauce she gave a bad look and placed the dirty tray in front of me to pick up the sauce myself from the dirty soup bowl. I didn’t complain though but she needs to learn some manners and fix her attitude.
Avoid being served by her and request someone else to serve you to enjoy the good food here.

Best Arabic restaurant! The soup, kabsa and lemon juice was really nice. The staff were polite and helpful too. Family friendly

The perfect way to describe this restaurant is "value for money". So far the best salad I had at this price and that huge and soft Naan at £1 is the best.

The most delicious halal place around, the spice level was great (with extra spicy sauce for those who want it), excellent prices and portions. Do come early if you would like the yemeni classics, they run out fast in the evenings. The servers were very friendly. Atmosphere could be improved slightly but that didn't matter with the food tasting so good.

Diyafa is a great option for anyone looking to try authentic Yemeni food in Sheffield. With its commitment to using fresh ingredients and authentic recipes, this restaurant delivers delicious and flavorful dishes that are sure to satisfy any craving

Came here for the third time today and this is one of those places where because the food is so good, I couldn't care less about the "aesthetics" of the restaurant - especially with the price point, taste and efficient service. With the rice dishes one is definitely enough to feed two people. It's not a fancy looking place but doesn't need to be, and actually feels quite homely with the place often filling up quite quickly whenever we are there, so theres definitely a nice atmosphere =) Looking forward to making more visits here when in Sheffield!

Visited the place recently for lunch. These types of places are flourishing during the cost of living crisis simply because they offer simple down to earth tasty food at simple down to earth prices, and with friendly fast service. The food on sale was a mix of Yemeni and other Middle Eastern. My friend and I ordered the Small meat which was a Saute Lamb with onions and peppers with mild spicing and a Lamb Kofte Kebab with Salad, a couple of House Soups for starters. The mains included a couple of Nans. The whole meal was amazing.
It was Sunday lunch time and yet the place was almost full. The clientele on the day were a mix of middle Eastern and African , however anyone would feel comfortable sitting here as the staff were very friendly. I would definitely visit this place again.
