"In the heart of the Tenderloin you’ll find Yemen Kitchen, a snug, warm spot owned by Abdul Al-Rammah. Bring a group and try everything on the menu, but for your spicy fix go for the saltah, one of the national dishes of Yemen. It’s a meat stew served bubbling hot with a float of frothy fenugreek sauce (better than any modernist foam), served with a flatbread called tawah. For some extra heat, ask for an extra bowl of sahawiq (also known as zhug or s’hoog), a hot sauce made from red or green chilies, garlic, coriander, and spices." - Sam Chapple-Sokol
