Yemen

Yemeni cuisine is rich and aromatic, reflecting its deep Middle Eastern roots and vibrant spice culture. Mandi, a fragrant rice dish with slow-cooked meat, and saltah, a hearty stew topped with a whipped fenugreek froth, are beloved staples. Malawah (flaky flatbread) and fahsa (a spiced meat stew) are commonly enjoyed, often accompanied by tangy zhug (a spicy green sauce) or hulba (fenugreek sauce). Yemeni food emphasizes slow cooking, bold spices, and communal dining, capturing the warmth and tradition of the country’s culinary heritage.
