Where to Eat Yemeni Food in Metro Detroit #DetroitFood
Fill up on big pieces of crispy flatbread, tender lamb haneeth, and bubbly fahsah.
Despite often being paired with Lebanese dishes on metro Detroit restaurant menus, Yemeni food has a distinctive taste and presentation that sets it apart from other Levantine cuisines. Yemeni dishes often feature stewed vegetables and meats — frequently fork-tender lamb — served over rice or with a side of elephant ear-sized flatbread baked in a tanoor oven. Items like saltah and fahsah are served sizzling in a clay pot with sides of sauce like hilbah and spicy zhug. Yemen is also the birthplace of coffee culture, too, and Detroiters are fortunate to have a hookup for beans and sweet treats locally. In short: It’s high time everyone gets acquainted with the region’s many excellent Yemeni restaurants.
From beloved Yemeni diners in Hamtramck to Dearborn coffee bars serving honeycomb cake, here’s where to find Yemeni food in metro Detroit.
New to the map: The map has been updated to reflect recent openings, closures, and menu changes. Sheeba in Hamtramck has closed. So has Haneeth House, Alnawras Restaurant, and Arabian Village. Added to the list are Mendi House, the Oasis Kitchen of Dearborn, Aswan Mandi & Grill, and Taj Al-Yemen Restaurant.
