You’ll leave this excellent restaurant, specialising in Yemeni dishes, as full as an egg, and whatever you opt for is certain to tickle your taste buds in just the right way. The mendi (lamb) and hanid mutton or goat (slow-cooked in a beehive oven) are tasty and filling, but leave room for the Yemeni desserts – the fata mus (a concoction with banana) and the fata timir (a concoction with dates) will satisfy everyone except your personal trainer. West of the centre.
