Family-run Yeminite restaurant with good vegan choices

We visited Yemen Heaven for dinner recently. It's a lovely, family-run restaurant operating out of what was once a run-down old pub on Walmgate. The menu isn't extensive but there is a good range of vegan options. The mezze section is the real star of the show and includes familiar Middle Eastern dishes such as hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, fattoush and tabboula. If you like things spicy, I'd particularly recommend ordering the bisbas which is something I've never tried before and which turned out to be a delicous blend of tomatoes, coriander, garlic and chilli. There are also a couple of vegan manousha available, which are flatbreads topped with veggies that are a bit like pizzas. Sadly, the only vegan main dish is fool - a fava bean stew - but you if you order lots of the aforementioned dishes you'll have plenty to eat so that isn't really an issue. The only downside is that it is a little pricey but the quality was high so I didn't mind paying that little bit extra. We spend £60 between two of us and left full & happy.

Pros: Family-run business, Lots of clearly labelled vegan & vegetarian dishes, Delicious food

Cons: A little on the expensive side but quality is high

You'd be a Fool not to try this.

There were a wide range of vegan options though no specials or desserts. The Fool (a spicy fava bean tagine) came in a stone dish, was super tasty and filling.

Pros: The ambiance in the restaurant and the service, The Fool - really lovely, well spiced & tasty, The flatbread - seeded and to die for.

Cons: No vegan desserts, Pricey

Excellent unusual vegan choices

We sat out in the courtyard on a balmy evening and it was delightful. Vegan options clearly identified.

Original but limited & poor value

Authentic Yemeni food . Lovely fresh bread but not worth 'upgrade'. Small portions. Only one vegetarian main

Pros: Well prepared , Tasty , Lovely atmosphere

Cons: Small portions for price, Only one vegetarian dish , Avoid bread upgrade
