Yemen Cafe

Huge portions of delicious melt-in-the-mouth lamb haneeth and salta, complimentary lamb soup , unlimited sweet hot chai (self-service), soft and fresh warm flatbread ...YUM!

5 stars for Authenticity ! Try the Lamb Haneeth, Chicken Curry & Hummus . Complimentary naan , salad and soup . I will be back!! p.s. No alcohol served.

The lamb haneeth is ridiculously good, no exaggeration. Meat so soft and juicy, it feels like butter in your mouth. The waiters will keep the freshly baked bread coming, and free chai refills!

This place is so ridiculously delicious and warming. Meals start with warm lamb broth and cardamon tea . Hummus + pita and the Lamb Haneeth are amazing. *no* alcohol .

Can "Shak-Shookah" be shakshuka without runny eggs ? If it's Yemeni, absolutely, like at this duo of restaurants scrambling their eggs into a super flavorful plum tomato-based sauce. Read more

One of the most authentic Yemenese places I've been to. Order the lamb haneeth and don't forget the free sweet tea !

Great authentic place. Have only been during lunch , but the "Lunch " portions are generous and fulfilling. There wasn't a seat avail on a Friday afternoon, but its just as good at home. Lamb Haneeth!

Complimentary tea and soup that are out of this world. Every entree I've had has crushed it, but special shout out goes to the lamb

Our food critic Robert Sietsema says the Haneez is so tender and flavorful that “a toothless guy could enjoy it.” It’s ranked number 2 on his top lamb dishes in NYC.

The food is excellent. We had the lamb loubia and lamb haneeth, both were exquisite. The portions are very generous, enough for two meals on

The softest and juiciest lamb you can ever have in nyc, you can forget about using a knife, especially lamb haneeth is a must try.

First time trying Yemenite food and it was so good! Generous portions of the main dishes are served with complimentary soup and salad .

The lamb soup to start is incredible and the lamb haneeth is the best! For dessert try the Fatah with honey and cream. So good!!

one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn Heights. I've tried almost every dishes in the menu and I love all of them.

Complementary, delicious, flavorful tea (and lamb soup for the carnivores). Really nice staff . Great baba and hummus .

Get the lamb salta , the lamb literally falls right off the bone. Also the fattah with honey is the perfect balance of savory and sweet.

Free soup when you sit down is delicious. Chicken and hummus and Lamb Haneeth are enough to three. So good.

Authentic food. Try lamb haneeth and don't forget the complimentary sweet tea .

Baba ghanoush , Foul, Fatah with Honey (must order), Fahsah

Barebones-casual Middle Eastern serving food that's soulful, delicious, and a great bargain.

Complimentary lamb soup is amazing! Be sure to try to baba ganoush . Any entree is sure to be awesome.

Yummy is an understatement! Run, don't walk here and enjoy an authentic Middle Eastern meal- flatbread , soup , and all!

Super authentic and delicious. Get the Salta.

Try the Salta - Lamb and okra stew served in a cast iron bowl that sizzled and steamed for nearly 10 minutes! Wow!

Taste - Roasted lamb ; Yemeni House Aseed; Yemeni house salta; foul madamas...each meal begins with a complimentary bowl of rich, salty lamb broth Read more

The fahsa here is amazing. It comes in a stone bowl

Try the Yemeni Pita Bread - Thick, chewy and perfect for hummus & stew ! ...and recommended by CIA agent regulars.

So damn good. Can share a lamb salta for two. Hit up the free tea in the back.

Try the Lamb Soup - So delicious and loaded with lamb that I forgot to try to pick out the CIA agents in the restaurant .

Yummy yummy the best Arabic restaurant in New York ,, I love it ???? ???? ????????????

Not sure abt the hype. Haneeth was dry and not huge (there was a ton of rice ). People rant abt the free soup/salad but the entree costs $20 for a reason. Go if ur in the hood but don't make a trip.

Where else can you get Yemeni food? Get the lamb fattah. You won't regret it.

The best lamb dish in New York, slow roasted that the meat just falls off the bone. Enough said.

Order the lamb haneeth - so good! One of my favorite restaurants in BK.

The restaurant is the best Mediterranean restaurant in New York City ????

Try the Haneeth Lamb - So Good! And recommended by 4 our 5 CIA agents. (The 5th one isn't talking.)

Great lamb

Cozy place for amazing authentic food! Amazing customer service!

Waits are worth it though chicken kebab was a bit over cooked. Go for the lamb dishes as those never disappoint.

If you come with a group the plates are a great size for sharing

Hanez is really good and the hummus with the arabic bread is amazing

They gave us a complementary soup , flat bread , salad and amazing cup of tea

Lamb haneeth is so good!

Delicious food, definitely try their Salta, free (unlimited) tea

Everything is beyond yummy

Use the styrofoam cups for the self-serve hot tea unless you like burning your fingies. The metal cups are better for water.

Simple place with delicious food and huge portions !

Delicious babaganoug and hummus ! Puffy bread they serve with it is dangerously good.

Unbelievably authentic ! Like being in Qatar! Read more

The lamb is so soft but would love more flavor
