2026 Yemeni
Hadramout
You’ll want to bring your own family to this family-owned Yemeni spot; the menu isn’t big, but the portions surely are. Try a couple of things: the fassolia (white beans in a tomatoey sauce), samboosa (a flaky chicken-stuffed fried pastry), a kebab of your choice, and one or two of their huge homemade disks of flatbread to mop up the rest of the fahsa (shredded lamb stew). Yes, it will be a ton of food, but affordable, unforgettable, and filling.
