 yemeni food by Ekahau
Fuul, or Fuul Medammis, cooked in a stone pot as seen in the photo is a very popular dishes in Yemen yo can find it anywhere. Cooked Fava beans with olive oil, coriander, cumin, lemon juice,
garlic, eggs, and fresh cilantro. (Survival food) safe to eat comes to your table boiling)
Saltah is a spicy green stew made with meat and veggies cooked in a stone bowl called a “Madr” or “Makli” ( Safe survival food) comes to your table boiling)
Shorbat Adas - Lentil Soup
Mohkbazat Sayd -- Clay oven kiln cooked fish served with spicy sauce.
Yemeni bread baked on demand frresh in a clay in a kiln-type oven.
Kibda wa Kalawi Mashwiya (grilled liver and kidney) not my taste but my wife loves this dish
Hummus which is a mashed chick pea paste with garlic and olive oil.
How my favorite is Shawarma this tasty dish is made putting thin strips of meat onto a skewer and cooked slowly on a rotisserie. The best one in Sana’a have the rotisserie fire burning with charcoal or wood not gas or electric. The fat at the top melts with cooking and flavors the meat. Half the fun is watching the cooks work the rotisserie and knife making it a show fit for Japanese steakhouse.
The shaved meat my favorite is lamb but beef and chicken are common is put on a slice of pita bread . Ttahini and/or hummus, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, onion are wrapped and tucked into the sandwich and eaten with Tabouli, Hummus, and Fattoush.

 Hadda Road by dutchwindmill
It's a growing chain, with outlets in Sana'a Trade Center (Al-Jazair / Algiers Street), a small one in between Pizza Hut and KFC, a counter in a coffee shop at Yemen Mall; in Aden at the "Stalin Allee". The latest shop is at Hadda (on the left hand side between 60 Metre Road?Sateen and Medina Zakania/Beirut Street). It is also the most conveniently located, as there is a dentist's practice on the floor above it (see picture).

Many restaurants in Yemen are not recognizable as such to a western tourist. A restaurant is usually a small room with a few tiny tables and benches, a newspaper as a tablecloth, and very different standards of cleanliness. It is a different thing with the hotels, but don`t expect haute cuisine there either. The food though is usually tasty and delicious (especially ful and fassulja) and very cheap, but as there is no variety in the menu and non-yemeni restaurants are practically non-existent outside Sanaa, you will sooner or later long for something different.

The Kamusch is an egyptian-owned restaurant in Sanaa (new town) offering delicious pizzas. Dinner is served in a tent. Popular with Expats. Best take a taxi and ask the driver, as I don`t recall an adress.

We ate at hotel restaurants and had the honor of being taken to a private house for dinner one evening.
If you are invited to a private house for a meal, it's a real treat. Large platters in the middle of the circle of men (all the women work in the kitchen and you never see them).
the lamb, of course, saffron rice, and the flat breads right from the oven. Theme: Other

 bakery in old Sana'a by hydronetta
Bread (in different forms and tastes) is essential to Yemeni diet. It always comes along with any meal of the day.
But it can be irresistible when it comes fresh out of the oven in local traditional bakeries like this one in the heart of old Sana'a city Theme: OtherComparison: least expensive

 Pitta bread and vegetables by janiebaxter
There is plenty of hot fresh pitta bread, spicy vegetable stews, tomato dips, fenugreek and flavoured rice. Fresh fruit is usually bananas but in coastal areas you get mangos, papayas and melon. Look out for “bint cake” or daughter cake, which is pastry with honey.
They prefer you to refuse the meat if you are not going to eat it, rather than waste it.

Want a FULL SIZED lunch? The main meal in Yemen is at lunchtime and these folks really prove it! It is upstairs in the annex of the Hamedda Tourism Hotel. You cannot miss the chef as he cooks just inside the front door to the hotel! (Please see the pictures). Everything from meat to vegetables and several kinds of bread are laid out on a carpet for you and you eat as a group. Just ask for a spoon if you do not feel comfortable eating with your hands. Remember to order a soft drink before they bring the food as the staff leave you in peace once all your food has arrived. Please be aware that your driver and/or tour guide may wish to pray before eating, so wait until you see people gathering around the food before you start. Women eat separately from men in another room. Prices are amazingly economical for the amounts you get.
You will see all the tour guides vehicles outside in the middle of the day as this is the best restaurant for miles. They do have a restaurant in the Hanida Hotel next door, but this one is the king of meals!
With the generous variety they provide half the fun is finding out which dishes you like! I tried them all.
PLEASE NOTE: Most guide books give you the wrong phone numbers for this hotel and restaurant! Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: IN THE CENTRE OF SHIBAMPhone: 450 480

1/2 chicken + salad + coke = 350 R (rials) / $1.75 / UK0.90p ("dejaj wa salada wa coke")
They also have mixed vegetables at times ("moushaka") and "la'ham" which is just meat, often lamb in an unappertising stew which I didnt like much. Outside on a small terrace is a pleasant enough place to chill with a tea ("chai") and watch the traffic! 10R / $0.05c / UK0.03p Leave a Comment
