Bab Al Yemen Restaurant - Bangkok

BAB AL-YEMEN in Nana is one of Bangkok’s standout Middle Eastern restaurants, offering an authentic taste of Yemeni cuisine right in the heart of Sukhumvit’s Arab district. Popular among tourists, expats, and locals, the restaurant is especially known for its rich flavors, generous portions, and traditional dining atmosphere. The menu focuses heavily on classic Yemeni and Arabic dishes. One of the highlights is the Mandi rice with lamb or chicken — fragrant basmati rice cooked with spices and served with tender, slow-roasted meat that falls off the bone. The mixed grill platter is another favorite, featuring juicy kebabs, lamb chops, and chicken skewers seasoned with bold Middle Eastern spices. Freshly baked Arabic bread and creamy hummus complement the heavier meat dishes perfectly. Inside, the ambiance reflects traditional Yemeni culture. Guests can choose between standard table seating or majlis-style floor seating, creating a warm, communal dining experience ideal for groups and families. The décor, Arabic music, and hospitality add to the immersive feel. Prices are mid-range for Bangkok but reasonable considering the large portion sizes — many dishes are easily shareable. Service is generally friendly, though it can slow down during busy dinner hours. Overall, BAB AL-YEMEN is highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Arab cuisine in Bangkok. With its flavorful mandi, quality grilled meats, and cultural atmosphere, it delivers both a satisfying meal and a unique dining experience in the Nana area.

This Yemeni restaurant is spacious inside with sitting arrangements on the floor and tables, on the ground floor and the 1st floor. After we sat down, they placed a paper table mat and served cups of warm chicken stock. We ordered appetiser set which had strained yogurt, hummus, mutabbal and baba ghanoush. The Yemeni bread to go with it was massive and the three of us couldn’t finish it. It was warm and flaky and topped with black sesame but once it cooled down it became impossibly tough. The Chicken Zurbian rice was light and fluffy and paired well with the tomato, garlic, coriander sauce. The chicken was cooked thoroughly enough to be fork tender. After dinner, we ordered Adeni Yemeni tea which is milk tea and Mint Tea and both came already sweetened. It would have been better if they had provided sugar sachets instead of adding sugar to the tea since everyone prefers taking different sugar levels. Previously we had tried their Mutton Mandi and Fattoush Salad and they were pretty delicious too. One suggestion to the team would be for them to give a large spoon to serve the rice. I kept asking for a large spoon but the servers brought me various spoons but a large one.
