Great new Yemen place in Bay Ridge

Bab al Yemen, at 413 Bay Ridge Ave, just opened a few weeks ago and its pretty awesome. Just off of 4th ave.

We got the roast lamb haneez, which nearly rivaled the Yemen Cafe's version. The glabah lamb -- minced,curried lamb served over hummus -- was also great. Salad and baba ganoush were solid. Foule was not so good. But overall, this place is excellent.

        Did Bab al Yemen replace Asmak Taama, the Egyptian seafood place? http://www.chow.com/blog/2009/03/catc...

          Yep, thats the space. Its the third restaurant in three years there. Not a great location, because it off on a side street, but I'd encourage folks to come try this place. Its great.
