Thila Restaurants

I have had the best meal in Yemen in a little roadside restaurant in them middle of nowhere - right before the road splits in two: turn left and you end up in Hababa and Shibam, turn right and you head towards Thila. There is a little hamlet where this simple restaurant is, but I don't know its name.

You will be eating on simple plastic charis and table, but the owner covers it with a new thin sheet of plastic before each customer... a touch of kindness which is very welcome (and igienic).

Favorite Dish: We had a simple grilled chicken - the best chicken I have ever eaten... grilled to perfection, crispy and savouriy... Plenty of spices (not too hot) were put on the chicken before grilling - it turned out perfect. We also had some arab bread, baked at the moment - which was yummy, too. Our dirver had some sort of local soup - but I found it far too spicy for my taste.
