"Bab Al-Yemen has a corner where shoes are left by the door and groups gather cross-legged over a pre-ordered £300 lamb. But the well-seasoned meats—like the slow-cooked, tender lamb haneeth, or the golden chicken mandi that you’ll want to eat with flaky ratab bread and colourful, softly spiced rice—are excellent choices whether you’re rolling in a group or alone. No matter how full you get, a meal should always end with the masoob with cream and honey (a dessert of mashed bananas, shredded flatbread, cream, and honey). And if eating cross-legged on the floor isn’t your thing, there are usually plenty of walk-in tables available if you're around West Brompton." - rianne shlebak
