The food was good overall, though not exactly to my taste. I ordered Fahsa Laham, which was excellent and truly authentic, just like the ones I’ve had in the Middle East. The charcoal-grilled chicken and chicken haneeth were decent but a bit bland; they could’ve used more spice. The atmosphere was really nice, and they offered complimentary black tea, which was a great touch. The food was a little pricey, understandable for Brooklyn.. but I felt the taste didn’t quite match the cost.

TLDR: I haven’t even eaten there but wow was it good. Definitely will be returning, the baba ghanoush and both the lamb leg/stews were insane.
Had this delivery at a friend’s place and wow – everything was so tasty. Each order comes with this huge toasty pita that’s perfect to mop up the sauces and plates.
The baba ghanoush was the first thing I tried and I loved the texture. Not overly whipped or too smokey. Kinda of like rice pudding without the grains, that’s just how it felt as I dragged the pita through it.
The fahsah was this incredibly tender lamb stew that was my favorite. It’s got a decent kick to it and that rich deep flavor. The lamb leg was also delicious, the edges are crispy but the meat literally falls off the bone.
The chicken curry was tasty too along with the grilled fish. I can see why this place is popular, definitely will visit one of their locations again in-person.

The level of hospitality these people offer is -to my experience- unmatched! They serve the guests free (yes free!) fresh baked bread with beef broth soup and some amazing side of pickled vegetables and lemons once you sit at your table, and the tea is also charge free and self serve! They also bring a free dish of side salad topped with the same yummy pickled chopped vegetables. The food is AMAZING, specifically the rice, which I could just continue eating forever! We were mainly surprised by how kind, generous and welcoming these people are. Will definitely go back!

We thought we would have leftovers- nope. So good! Unlimited bread refills too 😀 lamb fahsah was def the highlight
We were so shook bc so many things came out at first that we didn’t order (bread, salad, soup).

Once Great, Now Deeply Disappointing !
As a Yemeni who knows how real Yemeni food should taste, it honestly hurts to say this, but this restaurant is no longer what it used to be. It used to be one of the best and first Yemeni restaurants in NYC, but the quality has dropped so much that it barely resembles authentic Yemeni cuisine anymore.
I went recently with my cousins, and we all felt so bad about the experience. Some of us couldn’t even eat the food, including me. For the high prices they are still charging, the flavors, freshness, and overall quality are just not acceptable. It really feels like they are living off their old name and reputation, especially with customers who don’t know what true Yemeni food is supposed to taste like.
I’m not writing this to advertise anything, just to be honest and to protect the reputation of Yemeni cuisine, because this direction only harms it. I will do my best to reach out to the owners directly, because many of us would love to see this place return to its old standard. If you really want to experience authentic Yemeni food at this price point, I highly recommend Yemenat, the only Yemeni restaurant added to the Michelin list as one of the best in New York.

This is a type of place that I love and reminds me a lot of the restaurants I grew up with in South Brooklyn – made for groups and to share laughs and good food. We heard a lot of good things about the Haneeth which was good but the show stopped was the Fahsah, that was unique and delicious. Everything else was cozy and filling dishes and were just okay. I’m looking forward to coming back just for the Fahsah in the near future.

Yemen Café had been on my list for a long time, and I finally got the chance to visit a few days ago when we were in NYC. The only issue with that part of Brooklyn is parking, but we got lucky and found a spot right in front of the restaurant.
As soon as you’re seated, they serve warm bread and a bowl of lamb soup and the two go perfectly together. The soup has just the right balance of spices. We ordered a few dishes, but the highlight for us was definitely the lamb haneeth. The meat was super tender and full of flavor.
The place is very clean, the service is excellent, and don’t forget the complimentary tea it’s the perfect way to finish your meal. Overall, it’s a great spot to experience authentic Yemeni cuisine.

Delicious and authentic Yemeni food! The chicken Haneth was tender and full of flavor, and the rice was good too.
Portions were generous, and they even serve beards and soup complimentary sides.
fattah with honey as dessert was just perfect along with the self service perfect tea.
Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere — highly recommended!

The best Yemenis restaurant in NY. The food is amazingly delicious. Large portions of food. Fresh bread, I believe they make the bread in the restaurant. Tentative and welcoming staff. This was my first time going to this restaurant but I will definitely go back again. The area is very nice with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops.

First time trying Yemeni cuisine. The depth of flavor in the chicken fahsah dish was incredible. Bread was fresh and chewy. Unlimited sweet, spiced black tea with option of adding evaporated milk. It was packed by the time we left!!! What a great meal
