Bab Al-Yemen Boston مطعم باب اليمن برسطن

Had a great time here. Came in on a Sunday night. Since we wanted to sit on the floor specifically to have a more authentic experience, we waited a little bit. But staff was really warm and welcoming and seated us right after one of the floor seats were empty. Coming to the food, we took the mutabal appetizer (roasted eggplant) and loved having it with the pita bread. Their chicken Mandi was also very tasty! The meat was super soft. Only criticism is that it was a little undersalted, but that might just be personal preference. Service was very quick. Would be back again for sure to try out their other dishes.

If you love international cuisine, you have to try the lamb with saffron rice! It is absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The cozy vibe and ambient music make it an ideal spot for a memorable meal. Highly recommend !

Really warm, excellent service, a very fun atmosphere, and absolutely delicious food. We had a vegetarian and a carnivore in our group and there was something for all of us. Our server, Sharu, was great.

Hands down best meal in Boston, food was amazing the owner is sooooo nice and is so passionate about the dishes. Not a single thing was below 10/10. Lina was also super nice Loved it

The chicken Mandi is fall off the bone tender and so delicious. I’ve never had smoked rice before, and if you like flavorful food, then this is the place to visit. My friend had lamb… equally tender and juicy. Also…the staff were so gracious and kind. Highly recommend.

Loved the ambiance, vibes, and authentic seating, majlis. We were visiting Boston from NYC and went in without reservation on Sunday night. The restaurant was fully packed, definitely favorite among locals. We had to wait for being seated. I appreciate they accommodated us on their busy night. Finding parking was a mission. Food wise, I think the portion was on the smaller side, and lamb haneeth was missing on taste. We love yemini food, and we frequently eat at "Dar ul yemen," and Yemen Cafe in NYC also had a chance to eat at "Ard ul Yemen" in NJ. Haneeth has more flavorful taste, but their was more bland. They do give you spicy sauce, which we got refilled. Chicken Kabsa mentions half chicken on the menu, but they serve you pulled chicken pcs/bits buried in rice. Staff said it was spicy, but it wasn't at all. Yemini tea was lacking the taste, too (not sure about authenticity as I have never been to Yemen, but so many restaurants can't copy fake recipes around NYC and get almost similar taste). We also tried yemini dessert, i think it was masoob that tasted good, bread and banana pudding with Qishta on top. Good experience overall. I loved the place because of its ambiance.

Got the slow cooked lamb with rice and it was so delicious! This meal is perfect to share with your loved ones! Taste is very authentic and the employees were so kind, welcoming, and attentive. Would definitely reccomend to try this place out, you'll have a great time!

This place was really great! The food was delicious and the service was so pleasant and very attentive. My husband had the Lamb Haneeth and I had the Fahsa (lamb stew) with rice instead of bread. We also tried the fresh eggplant dip. Everything was super tasty and fragrant and big portions! We really enjoyed it and would recommend it!
