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. |
