The staff at Yemenat were so gracious with me and my friend! We were a walk-in on a very busy day and still managed to get a table after a very short wait. The ambiance was warm and lively. The food was something to write home about! Absolutely rich and delicious! I had the lamb haneeth and the beef fahsa. Talk about flavor! I wish my stomach could take it all in, but the portions were so generous. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better? I got dessert: The bent assahan was out of this world! Light, flaky, buttery. My goodness. Thank you so much Yemenat for a remarkable meal.

One of the best restaurants we’ve tried in NY! So so recommended.
The young waiter was kind, knowledgeable and professional. The kitchen delivers exquisite meals very quickly and you barely wait. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
You have unlimited homemade hot chai, which is ideal during winter.
We strongly recommend trying and supporting this place. We will come back!

It was our first time trying a Yemeni restaurant, and we were very impressed. The food was incredibly flavorful, bold, and colorful. I especially loved the Hadrami rice. The Chicken Haneeth, a traditional Yemeni dish with tender, slow-cooked chicken marinated in aromatic spices, was excellent.
I highly recommend making a reservation, as the restaurant is popular. We’ve visited twice on weekends, and both times it was full and crowded; otherwise, the wait time can be around an hour. The space and number of tables are limited.
Portions are very generous — we couldn’t finish everything and took some food home. The pomegranate drink was also great.
The only downside is if you’re seated near the entrance — every time the door opens, cold air comes in, which can be uncomfortable in winter. Installing a small vestibule or air curtain at the entrance would really help during winter.

A wonderful Michelin Bib Gourmand Yemeni restaurant in Bayridge. The large shafoot makes great platform to enjoy bubbling beef fahsa and the other dishes. Muva whole branzino came out tend on top and crispy on the skin , Lamb haneeth a little tougher than I expected. The dishes came out fast and hot, waiter kept waters refilled and we all tried the complimentary hot beverage. A great delicious inexpensive spot to take your family to.

Let me start off with the main dish which was lamb haneeth. It was absolutely delicious and the lamb was so tender and juicy. The rice was so fluffy and flavorful. It’s a good serving for two people. We also got the hummus with the flatbread. Although the flatbread was crispy and tasty, the hummus was disappointing. It was very thick and lacked flavor. The adeni chai was perfect as well.

oh wow this was maybe a top 10 meal all time.
salad: really nice balanced salt and vinegar-y flavor with onion cutting through
lamb: slow cooked is the way to go. falls off the bone tender and moist throughout and very flavorful even serve the lamb in a lamb soup of sorts you get your own bowl of the soup on the side
bread: perfect bread that comes out warm and crispy
hummus: not standout but good when paired with everything
shakshuka: really deep flavor on this one with lots of onions not tomato soupy
bent assahn: they comp’d us this dessert because of the service but this was maybe the best dessert I’ve ever had at a restaurant
ordered for 2 and had little leftovers
waitstaff seemed unorganized; they forgot to give us menus, forgot our water, and sent out our main dish before the appetizers. They did comp us with maybe the best dessert i’ve ever had though.
All of that for $64 is ridiculous value

Stopped to pick up food for the second time and they didn’t not disappoint. Food always delicious and tasteful. Very generous portions which is also a plus.
The roasted lamb with rice was cooked tender and perfect touch with spices . Roasted chicken was also tender and juicy. French fries were fresh and delicious with the adeni sauce. And their bread always so good! Worth the one hour drive all the time.

Really fantastic food. The rashoosh that came with the hummus was perfectly flaky and the lamb haneeth was fall off the bone tender. Also the bent assahn dessert was delightful.

We enjoyed everything. The food was delicious and fresh, the presentation was excellent, and the staff was very welcoming. Thank you. Our only concern was that the prices were a bit high, and the maraq was not complimentary, which is usually standard at Yemeni restaurants.
