Food is properly spicy, unlike the more famous Thai place that people like around the corner. Their yum pla dook is excellent. Their best dish is the kor moo yang: Isaan style bbq pork. I never want to share it with anyone, so we get one per person. Which is excessive, but it’s really good. They also have ‘fried chicken bones’ which SE Asians enjoy. Little morsels of nuggets, bones on. |

Yemeni Kitchen and Yemeni Kabab are two Yemeni places I would go to for food. Often I just cook this food too but they do good food. I love heavily seasoned rice dishes so mandi and kabsa are what I order. Saltah is also great |

They have golgappa (pani puri) shots and desi pizza. The traditional foods are v good too. For those, there’s also Shalimar and Chutney and Pakwan the corner. I like diff things from each restaurant so I tend to buy one thing from each place and put it together. |

I love the jambon beurre sandwich. And the bacon scone. Their croissants are also the best and my French-raised wife says we can’t ever move beyond a 10 min walk from an Arsicault. The French Spot has good salmon danish and Paris bakery has N African French baked goods. |
