Aldiwan Yemeni Restaurant

Lamb Mandi

Slow-cooked lamb over fragrant spiced rice — the smoke and dried-lime perfume hit before the plate reaches the table, and the meat pulls apart with zero resistance

Chicken Mandi

Whole or half chicken slow-roasted over the mandi pot, absorbing the spiced broth and emerging with deeply golden skin and tender, juicy meat

Saltah

Yemen's national stew — a simmering clay pot of lamb, vegetables, and the distinctively bitter-earthy hulba fenugreek foam that defines the dish

Fahsa

Tender braised lamb in a spiced broth, served in a scorching stone bowl and eaten with flatbread — deeply savory, warming, and unsubtle in the best way

Aseed

Dense wheat porridge topped with slow-cooked lamb and ghee — an acquired texture but a beloved Yemeni comfort dish for those willing to lean in

Bint al-Sahn

Layered honey cake drizzled with dark floral honey — the right ending to a heavy meat-focused meal, sweet but not cloying
