Slow-roasted meats and bubbling stews are centerpieces of this destination Yemeni restaurant. Try the saltah—a hearty cauldron of okra, tomatoes, and other vegetables served with Frisbee-size tandoori bread—or tender lamb haneeth with fried onions over spiced rice. Other musts for the table: lamb-heaped hummus and shafout with herby yogurt poured over spongy injera-like bread. Leave room for bint al sahn, a flaky, layered pancake drizzled with honey.
