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.

Rich Flavors & Succulent Meats

Let us take you on a mouthwatering journey through Yemen's hearty and most loved dishes. We serve up tender, spiced lamb and juicy chicken in a variety of ways, from traditional Mendi to Mufaa and Haneeth. Each bite brings bold flavors, from the warmth of cardamom to the earthiness of cumin. We promise to transport you to the heart of the Middle East and give you a feast you won't soon forget.
