We randomly stumbled into this spot, and I am so thankful we did. This restaurant is truly a gem in Little Yemen. Every staff member was super nice and patient. My family ordered: lamb with rice, chicken with rice, hummus, fries. Each dish was seasoned perfectly, and I am still dreaming of Malawah bread!! The environment is super cosy, and the fact that many members of the Yemeni community frequent the place...you know you'll eat good. We took some baklava home and it was equally delicious. This spot is a must return

I adore Middle Eastern cuisine, and while there are a authentic Middle Eastern restaurants in the Bronx, they are not like this one! I was ready for the challenge of finding a fresh, new Middle Eastern dish to bring to a buddy who was visiting for the weekend. This kind of food was something he had never had before. This eatery is located right in the middle of "Little Yemen." And yes, I had a gut feeling that it would be a positive experience. Due to the sizable Yemeni population, there is a neighborhood in the Bronx called Little Yemen! Having grown up on Middle Eastern cuisine, I was thrilled to discover this restaurant. This restaurant serves delicious Yemeni food, with a menu that includes lamb, chicken, and seafood among other alternatives. I started with an order of pita with hummus, keeping my appetizer simple. The hummus was delicious and fresh, and I was hungry for more! I picked the Kabseh Chicken for my entree since I wanted to relive my upbringing. It was quite flavorful, and just so you know, there is rice mixed in with the meat! They serve free soup with your meal and the rice is really wonderful. The rice was definitely a substantial serving, and the chicken was falling off the bone. They offer you many pieces of chicken, all of which are of a decent size. You may enjoy some delicious sage tea, and the best part is that refills are always free! Not to be overlooked is the dessert menu, which consists of classic choices. The Baklava was delicious, and I had it. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming, and the costs are fairly reasonable for the size of the servings they provide. You can pay with cash or credit cards here, and reservations are not required. The service was prompt and courteous, and the meal arrived really fast. Because this restaurant is in a residential area, you have two options for getting there: you can drive and park your car there or use public transportation. This restaurant is a hidden gem in the Bronx that you must check out if you appreciate real Middle Eastern food!

this place is really good food and affordable. the inside is kinda of cold so the ambiance isn't all that especially during winter and people keep opening the front door so it gets cold the food is delicious i got hummus with chicken and it comes with 2 roti. it was vey filling i had to share. there is pomegranate soda very good and light they also give free tea you have to do it yourself. service is okay they come and drop off your food but you have to order up front very authentic and great food A+

Best Yemeni food in newyork city. Love the lamb haneeth and everything else. I recommend trying it

Yeman was once an importnt post in frankincense ( & myrrh) and the spice trade. It is said that Queen of Sheeba gifted King Solomon with frankincense and spices. Hence it goes without saying that the Yemani food is full of flavor, aroma, and spice. My goto place for Yemani food is Yeman Cafe (two locations in Brooklyn). It has been around since the mid 80s, has a huge menu, and is considered as perhaps the best place for Yemani food in the North East. But Yeman Cafe plays it safe. Recently Arth Aljanathain ("The Land of Two Gardens") on 700 Rhinelander Ave, Bronx NY has emerged as a destination for those seeking Anthony Bourdaine / Andrew Zimmern type food with passion and an edge. No doubt Yeman Cafe has the upper hand vis a vis quality, but Arth Aljanathain more than makes up with dishes that you will not get anywhere. Moreover Yeman Cafe cannot match Arth Aljanthain's Zorbian. What is Zorbian ? Well Zorbian is Yeman's answer to Pakistani / Bangladeshi/ Indian Biryani. Zorbian is Yeman's response to Uzbekistani Plov. Zorbian is a Yemani rice (and meat) casserole. It is Biryani/Plov with a tweak (made with different spices). If you like Biryani and Plov, then you might like Zorbian also.

We tried this place for my husband's birthday. Normally we used to go to Brooklyn's Yemin Cafe. This place was just as good. Definitely closer than Brooklyn. Tried the mandi, roasted chicken and kebsah, all very good.

Perfect lunch! I could not have been more satisfied! The food was amazing, the tastes were exquisite, unique, fresh snd gourmet! Five stars all the way! I'm definitely going back to try more Yemeni dishes. The chicken sandwich was delicious on a very soft bread that melts in your mouth and the flavors were good. It came with a house made tomato salsa on the side. The soup was also very good, almost like a hearty meat broth. To finish it off with the basbosa and tea was the perfect ending. The basbosa had coconut in the inside and, noodles on top with perfect amount of sweet. The tea reminded me of the Indian masala chai but Yemeni version. The place was busy with a consistent customer base coming in and picking up orders and the front desk host was constantly taking phone orders. But the service was quick. I felt like I was in a local Yemeni spot, the culture was there!! I was very happy and satisfied. Thank you! Highly recommended!

Really 4.5 stars. Got take out for lunch. The portions were massive, it was $12 for an entree with a soup and side salad. The salad came with a lovely spicy dressing. The soup was nice, but was just a thick chicken broth without anything in it. I got the chicken zuribain which I can liken to biryani. It was supremely flavorful with pieces of onion and chicken. It was delicious and enough for two large portions. My only complaint is the chicken had bones. The large bones were not an issue, but the smaller ones were a bit dangerous if you are not paying attention. I would definitely recommend it and go back!
