Al-Asdeqa
Open to all are the excellent fruit-juice stalls dotted around town, such as Al-Asdeqa not far from the Crédit Agricole Bank.
-
Al-Fanoos
Probably the best Western-style sit-down-and-relax restaurant in Yemen - though don't rely on it being open, as it often only swings back the doors at weekends or when there's a group booking. The food is predominately Middle Eastern and there's occasional live music.
-
Al-Khima
Its Yemeni and Lebanese food isn't great but it's one of the few places where you might want to linger over a meal. Better than the food are the fruit-flavoured sheesha pipes and the big-screen TV showing all the major sporting events.

Al-Shaibani Modern Restaurant
This is the restaurant that all the other restaurants in Yemen want to take after. All the staples are done to perfection, but it's the oven-baked fish that rules the roost.
-
Houmald Salta
Next to the qat market in the heart of the old city. This salta (a kind of stew and the traditional lunch dish of the highlands) restaurant is regarded as having the best salta in San'a and is a pre-qat-session institution. Buy the accompanying sheets of bread from the women standing around outdoors.

Mumbai Durbar
Dishing out spicy subcontinental dishes, this is one of Yemen's lonely Indian restaurants.
-
Naeem
This shiny white-tiled restaurant is cleaner than most and does great roast chickens (around YRI600 ) and freshly squeezed fruit juices (around YRI1000 ). It's right next to the Bab al-Yaman.
-
Zeyna Food
Run more as a hobby than a business by an Ethiopian woman, this incredibly popular lunchtime restaurant gives you the opportunity to try Ethiopia's national dish, injira and wat , a decidedly acquired taste!
