Arth Aljanatain

Been purchasing here for almost 8 years, and their food is always cooked right and delicious. Lately however they've been burning the grilled chicken, my past 3 orders have been grilled and rotisserie chicken, all burnt to a crisp. I have to remove 20% of the chicken just to get to a part that isn't burnt.

I had the Kabseh Chicken, which is chicken & rice in lightly spicy, but suprisingly savory tomato paste. It's served w/ salad, an herbaceous & lemony chicken broth soup, & a green tomato & cilantro sauce that I liken to Yemeni chimichurri! I feel a bit wasteful not taking home the leftovers of the generous serving, but the remainder was mostly just rice & lettuce anyway. I also liked the honey flavored malt beverage.

Got fatteh and it was so heavenly. Sorry the pic was after eating it. Every bite was delicious. The rotisserie chicken and rice wasn’t bad either, but you should ask for a white sauce.

Delicious Yemeni food. I was very impressed by the food I ate at Arth Aljanathain. I have eaten there a few times. I have had a chance to taste several of the dishes. The restaurant interior is decorated with scenic images of Yemen framed with white border. That same white border is used to create decorative geometric patterns on the wall. You get a good sized portion of food on each plate. So far, I have had the Zurbian chicken, which is aromatic rice and pieces of chicken buried within the rice. I tried the roasted chicken and rice dish, and salmon, both were superb. Some of the meals come with a small soup and salad. I really enjoyed the hummus and bread dish. You can taste the tahini in the hummus and the bread was light and soft. It is one of the best flat breads I have ever had. For drinks, there are many to choose from. I had a Ayran mint flavored yogurt drink (one of my favorites). I also had a Laziza regular malt beverage. Laziza "regular" is an unsweetened malt beverage that is pleasant and refreshing. On your way out do not forget to grab a small espresso sized cup of slightly sweetened tea. The food at Arth Aljanathain does not disappoint. I will surely be going back for more.

Small Yemenis place with 5-7 tables serving authentic middle eastern dishes. I visited at 11:30AM right before lunch rush. The portion size was great. The soup was warming. The lamb was cooked so tender. The rice was fluffy. This is a hub for middle eastern cuisine, and there were plenty of regulars as lunch rush rolled in.
