Arth Aljanathain

Right around the corner from Soundview Park, Arth Aljanathain elbows its way into the local takeout rotation with a straightforward menu of Yemeni comforts. They dish up small plates and quick bites on Rhinelander near the Bruckner split, no fuss and no fanfare. Lunch or dinner, you can swing by for a solo plate or linger for dessert between errands. Nothing on the menu hides behind a counter; you point, they plate, and fifteen minutes later you’re back on the sidewalk chewing with the breeze off the river.

Call ahead when dinner traffic fills the sidewalk: (718) 918-9191. A late-night drive-by still lands you at the wheel for a couple of minutes; find the map directions in three taps.
