This was a very cute cafe that is great for meeting up or catching up with friends, to sit and get work done, or to just pick up a coffee or tea. They have your typical yemeni flavors and other seasonal varieties. The iced Adeni is what I got with sugar - it was definitely tasty and curbed my craving for chai. The yemeni latte had similar ingredients but the cinnamon rather than the nutmeg definitely changes the flavor and I prefer the Adeni. I didn’t try the desserts, but they definitely look aesthetic and are made for instagram. The honey comb dessert (bready dessert with a cheesy filling) was a popular order.

Absolutely loved this Yemeni café! The vibes are amazing and the whole place feels so luxurious and cozy. Their drinks are incredible, and they offer a big variety of options—from traditional Yemeni flavors to unique specialty drinks. The desserts are just as impressive and so delicious. Everyone there is extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. This café has definitely become one of my favorite spots!

Astonishing place! The decor, ambience, and staff are wonderful. We had the best Adani tea, matcha, and their special Matari drink. The desert was fresh and just perfect. I recommend this place to everyone, it is a must to try. Hashim, the owner, is very friendly, attending, and welcoming.

The ambience is really good. I just walked through as it is nearby to my apartment. I was not expecting much but I got amazed by their Dubai Chocolate Pastry, must recommend if you love crunchiness in chocolates with pistachios. Also I love their Adeni tea, however, I ordered medium sized but later on I feel I should order small because the tea was alot in the cup which is more than sufficient for me but it tastes really good, I must recommend for strong tea (Chai) lovers. Also, I like their honeycomb which is also really yummy. You ll get a punch (push) by their tea. Overall, staff was really nice and polite.

We stopped by Matari Coffee and tried their Honeycomb, Pistachio Chocolate Cake, and Signature Tea Latte — all beautifully presented. The Pistachio Chocolate Cake was easily my favorite — perfectly balanced, rich in flavor yet not overly sweet like many Dubai desserts. The Honeycomb had good flavor but could’ve been a bit fluffier for that ideal texture. The Signature Tea Latte was smooth and aromatic, a comforting finish to the desserts. Service was top-notch, with staff who were attentive without being intrusive, and the ambience was warm, modern, and relaxing — perfect for a quiet afternoon or a casual meet-up. Definitely a spot I’d revisit for the pistachio chocolate cake. So sad that there are no decaf options.

I don’t normally write reviews, but this café deserves it. I’ve been here multiple times and the staff especially are always incredibly kind and welcoming, staff member anas was super kind giving me a free matcha. The location and seating are perfect, and their late-night hours are unbeatable for studying. On top of that, the pastries and drinks are consistently delicious.

A great latte (hot) that doesn’t need sugar to make it good. Awesome seats and relaxing clean vibe. Barista insisted my next drink on the house when she realized the first order had been wrong, both drinks great.
