Yemeni ยท Bed-Stuy ยท Since the recipes

Bread from the
clay oven. Lamb that falls
off the bone.

Tucked into Nostrand Avenue, Yemeni Socotra serves the food we ate at home โ€” slow-cooked lamb burma, fragrant zurbian rice, and the kind of bread your grandmother would approve of.

Our Story

From Socotra. To Bed-Stuy.
To your table.

Socotra is an island off the coast of Yemen โ€” a place where food is shared, never rushed. We brought those rituals with us when we opened on Nostrand: hot bread from the oven, tea poured into small glasses, lamb so tender it surrenders to the spoon.

Every dish is made the way it would be made in our mothers' kitchens. Nothing is frozen. Nothing is rushed.
