2025 Best Yemeni Restaurant

Bab Al-Yemen

Skip the chairs—this is how you celebrate Arabian Peninsula dining. Stretch out on the floor amid plush cushions while savoring the region’s rich, slow-cooked stews and roast lamb and chicken, all elevated by fiery chili sauces and astonishing clay-oven breads—especially the tabletop-size, pita-adjacent tanoor bread that’s worth the trip alone.
