Yemeni Bread and Greek Dips for a Bay Ridge Evening
Sit down to fahsa lamb with table service at the Yemeni restaurant, or explore souvlaki and lemon potatoes at the Greek kitchen. Much of the Greek restaurant's business is takeout, though diners can also stay for a meal.
Two Kitchens on Third Avenue
Behind the Curtains
Alshaybani Restaurant serves Yemeni cooking in Bay Ridge. Families seeking privacy can settle at curtained tables in the partitioned dining room. The restaurant offers table service for seated meals and halal options. Fahsa lamb is one of the main dishes on the menu. Fresh bread is also part of the kitchen's offering. Its address is 7316 3rd Ave in Brooklyn. Opening hours are Monday through Sunday, 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
Garden Tables
Much of Somethingreek's business in Bay Ridge is takeout. Diners staying for a meal can use the open-roof outdoor dining area in the back. Monday through Saturday, the restaurant closes at 10:00 PM. Sunday hours run from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The Greek kitchen serves souvlaki and lemon potatoes among its dishes. Vegetarian options are available, and lunch specials offer an inexpensive midday meal.
A Matter of Preference
Alshaybani Restaurant and Somethingreek offer contrasting ways to approach a meal on Bay Ridge's 3rd Ave. The Yemeni menu includes fahsa lamb and fresh bread, while the Greek selection extends to avgolemono soup, dolmades and pikilia dips. The choice goes beyond cuisine, Alshaybani Restaurant offers halal options and privacy at curtained tables, while Somethingreek has vegetarian options and outdoor seating. The pairing puts dietary preferences and dining settings alongside the dishes themselves as reasons to choose.
