Yemenat

Located in Bay Ridge, a neighborhood known for its vibrant Middle Eastern community, Yemenat is a cozy, family-style spot. This local gem shares an appealing a la carte of Yemeni cuisine, featuring classic appetizers like hummus and shafoot and hearty entrees like lamb sughar and shakshoka Adeni. Main dishes like the standout lamb haneeth, or braised lamb shoulder over golden-tinted hadrami rice, are unapologetically generous in portion and perfect for sharing. Even the sides like sahaweq, or grated tomato with spices intended for drizzling over the rice or dipping into with a piece of rashoosh, are sized for a crowd. Heaping plates aside, dining here is more than just a meal; it's a soul-nourishing experience.
