“ Amazing experience at Hijazi Corner. We ordered the lamb mandi, chicken bukhari, and fahsah lamb — all were incredibly flavourful and perfectly cooked. Portions were generous and the food tasted truly authentic. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who gave great recommendations, and we were even treated to a complimentary chicken broth, which was a really nice touch. 10/10 food and service, highly recommended. ”
“ Really loved this place. The food was amazing and served piping hot. The Lam Mendi portion was very generous and cane with plenty of meat, a side if red chilli sauce and salad. We also had Mugalgal and tried the Tamees freshly baked bread. Definitely recommend if you love Yemeni food ”
“ We saw this place on TikTok and came here as a family for dinner. The food was very delicious, especially the rice and lamb. The chicken was alright nothing special. We were served a broth soup, which was nice. The tomato sauce they served was not very tasty as we thought it would’ve been. But overall, a nice restaurant and good value for money. Would definitely recommend giving it try! ”
“ Really enjoyed the mandi.. excellent taste , generous portions. Lived up to the reviews. Will be visiting again. Only downside is we came late on a Saturday night and a lot of things were sold out/finished. Will try to get in earlier next time. Awin was really friendly and helpful. Motabag was really good too. ”
“ I was so excited to discover Hijazi Corner on Edgware Road — the only Saudi restaurant in London. Saudi Arabia has such a special place in my heart. I visited in 2018, before the country fully opened, and it became one of the most amazing destinations I’ve ever experienced. The hospitality, the energy, the generosity — unforgettable. Seeing a Saudi restaurant in London honestly makes me so happy. We sat downstairs, exactly like in Saudi Arabia — on the floor, in a private room, on carpets. The moment I sat down, I felt completely transported back. It was such a beautiful and authentic touch. I had mandi lamb, Bukhari lamb, jareesh, karak tea, and traditional Saudi coffee — and I loved everything. The lamb was tender and full of flavour, the rice perfectly spiced, and the portions were huge (true Saudi generosity!). I ate it all out of pure excitement and because it was that good. A special thank you to Khaled for the warm and welcoming service — it truly felt like being back in Saudi. I’ll share photos — the presentation was lovely too. I will definitely be back. ”
