Description
Originally opened on Court Street in 1988 before relocating to Bay Ridge, this spot seasons its dishes with spices imported directly from Yemen. The simple setting needs a makeover, and visitors note mixed service alongside a dining room that is often predominantly male. But the draw remains the kitchen, which serves flavorful halal plates like kabsa and flava dip that are consistently praised as well-priced.
