"The original Yemen Cafe was founded in downtown Brooklyn on Atlantic Avenue in 1981 (and is still there), but this branch sprang up a decade ago, as Yemeni businesses migrated to Bay Ridge. The restaurant concentrates on standards of the cuisine, rather than more-recognizable Middle Eastern fare. Try the salta — a bubbling pot of meaty gravy with a foamy fenugreek emulsion on top — into which the restaurant’s fresh, round, slightly charred flatbreads should be dipped; or glaba — lamb stir-fried with tomatoes and onions." - Robert Sietsema
