A Jerusalem Yemenite restaurant founded in 1948 that today sells prepared Shabbat food in the German Colony and caters meat events.

Marvad Haksamim began in 1948 as a restaurant that brought the tastes of Yemenite cooking to its customers, and its site says almost every Jerusalemite knows it. Today it works differently: it sells prepared food for Shabbat from its shop at 1 Rachel Imenu Street in the German Colony, caters meat events in and around Jerusalem, and hosts groups and small events in its restaurant in the city centre and its private hall. Delivery orders from the shop are taken until Thursday at 21:00, and catering orders 48 hours ahead.

Sources disagree on these hours

Its site gives the German Colony shop's Friday hours, 7:30 to 14:00, and takes delivery orders from the shop until Thursday at 21:00; it gives no hours for the other days.
