Great but pricey

by addola at Citysearch

It is not Yemenit, the word is Yemeni. The restaurant served great food but is over priced. I tried malawach(I am Arabian and I don't know what this word is), it is a kind of fried topping with non-sweet topping like mushrooms on it. It does taste so authentic, and the original Yemeni version can be topped with Honey and animal fat (they don't serve it). I have also tried their Flafil, really great, but really expensive. The two dishes that we ordered were exceptional and cooked with care. Only problem is the price, in my opinion. We paid 33 dollars + tips.

• Pros: Authentic Jewish food
• Cons: Price
