My husband and I come here often because of the quality of food and service. The decor, other than the large salt water fish tank, can use a little help but it's definitely not a deal breaker. The lamb dishes have got to be the best I've ever had. If you like lamb, you definitely have to try this place. The bread is also fantastic. Always served fresh out of the oven, hot, crispy and chewy and the size of a 10" pie. The staff is super friendly and always giving us some extras on the house. I have made it my mission to try everything on the menu.

The Place has the greatest food in the world. It combines all the types of food of the MID East, from north to south and from east to west. They serve all types of Middle Eastern food, but the Yemeni dishes are the most delicious. Very hospitable, w welcoming people, love you more if you are a Non-Yemeni to make you feel welcomed. I have eaten there for every meal, Breakfast- Kabdah- or Small Meats- Beans or Fasoliah- With Tea ( best ever). Lunch , has Varity of meats, Haneed( Cooked in Oven) , masloq( boiled) , Saltah ( stew soup in very traditional Yemen Bowl) Kabsah( tossed meat with rice and mix all together) and traditional Yemeni bread.

This place is a long time favorite of mine. The food is always delicious, and the people are welcoming. Most of the people there are from the local muslim community, and they can be a bit shy when outsiders are there. But if you are friendly to them, your friendliness will be reciprocated 10 times.

I grew up in the middle east and eating at the Yemen Cafe took me back to all the wonderful foods and flavors I grew up with. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by a very friendly waiter and the wonderful aroma of roasted lamb. The meal started out with a delicious lamb soup, and salad. My husband and I also had the yemeni tea, which was really good. We then split a dish of roasted lamb which was out of the world. The lamb literally fell of the bone, and the accompanying rice was delicious. It was truly a memorable meal and I can't wait to go back. (I never write reviews but this place really exceeded my expectations)

Best lamb in New York City and maybe the USA. Most people order a dish called hanid. Very original soup. Many excellent vegetarians dishes. All what I guarantee you is it's a place where you are going to forget about your diet. I have been customer in this place for more than 10 years and the taste didn't change at all. They keep the same menu forever. Yemeni use also all kind of original spices. You also must eat there during Ramadhan.

This is a wonderful restaurant to eat with your family or friends. The food is great and the prices are unbelievable. Give it a shot.

Wonderful food, fairly priced, with the friendliest service in Brooklyn. The host literally followed our party of six -- the only non-Yemenis in the restaurant -- into the street to wish us good night and thank us. When we complimented a dish of roast lamb, he brought out another helping, on the house. Be sure to order the salta and the house soup to start. A true gem.
