Yemeni restaurant · Cobble Hill

@infatuation

"A Cobble Hill classic since 1986, the city’s first Yemeni restaurant (as far as we know) is still a lively community gathering place. It’s also a necessary pilgrimage for anyone who loves lamb, and we happen to be card-carrying members of that particular fan club. Two of the best parts of every meal at Yemen Cafe are complimentary: the marag, a thin yet deeply flavorful lamb soup, and a tandoori flatbread ideal for dipping in it. Slow-roasted lamb haneeth, a hefty portion of richly spiced meat barely clinging to the bone, remains Yemen Cafe’s most popular dish, and for good reason. You’re in not just for a superlative meal here, but for some superlative leftovers tomorrow." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman
