A Taste of Yemen

A Taste of Yemen
Yemeni cuisine is a blend of vibrant flavors, reflecting the country's rich history and diverse cultural influences. Staple ingredients like lamb, chicken, rice, and lentils are used to create signature dishes like mandi (slow-cooked meat and rice), and there is no better place than Bab Al-Yemen to get a real taste of the cuisine.

Second visit to this restaurant; the Chicken Mandi was great and the Lamb Haneeth was perfectly cooked! The food is really delicious and tasty! Service is great; they have different options of seating and a big parking lot! Highly recommended!

Honestly 10/10 for everything! The food is amazing, my go to is the Lamb Haneeth or Chicken Mendi. The service is very nice; the waiter always greets you with a smile and is extremely kind. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. Each table has its own booth with a tent-like cloth for privacy. It's a great place for family and friend gatherings. Highly recommend!
