I had the Foul for my appetizer, Lamb Haneeth for my main meal, Fatah with honey/kishta for dessert. Trust me this is the best combination. Lamb is very tender, moist and super tasty. Location is the staten island.

We traveled 1.5 hours to come eat here and have been going to there bay ridge Brooklyn location for years. This new location is more amazing and spacious with the same amazing foods that the entire family will enjoy. We as a family highly recommend Yemen Cafe & Restaurant to everyone. Try the best dish called Haneeth. Wow, you will keep going back to get more. The staff is extremely friendly and the place is extremely clean. It's hard to describe with words I wish my taste buds had hands they will write more words to describe the taste. It's amazing. If you got to read my review, I hope you get to try and share your own experience and taste. If you visit enjoy that's what life is about.
