It was a Sunday evening in Little Yemen, the Bronx still buzzing gently with the spirit of Eid. After a community gathering, our group—friends from across the Arabian Peninsula—found our way to Azal Restaurant and Hall. There was something incredibly grounding about walking into a space that felt both familiar and deeply rooted in tradition. It wasn’t just about dinner—it was about reconnecting with home while being far from it.The restaurant had a quiet hum to it—families gathered around large tables, laughter rising and falling in the background, and the scent of spiced lamb and bubbling stew drifting from the kitchen. It felt like the kind of place where food isn’t plated—it’s shared. Generous, warm, and unapologetically authentic.We started with two childhood classics—Vimto and Shani—iced and sweet, the kind of drinks that immediately take you back. The food came out family-style: a bubbling fahsa stew in its traditional stone pot, rich with flavor and served with hot Yemeni bread perfect for scooping; haneeth lamb over fragrant rice, fall-off-the-bone tender; and zarabyan rice, layered with spice and slow-cooked lamb, slightly bolder and more aromatic.The table was completed with fresh salad and a light, warmly spiced soup—a gesture of hospitality we didn’t even need to ask for. Everything felt thoughtful, generous, and made to be shared.Azal doesn’t try to modernize or reinterpret—it preserves. It serves food like it’s meant to be remembered. For all of us, being from the Arabian Peninsula, this dinner felt like something more than familiar. It felt like home, translated across a few thousand miles.In a city full of options, Azal Restaurant and Hall stands out by staying true. If you’re seeking a taste of home, or even just the warmth that comes with it, this is a place to sit, eat, and be reminded. - Mohammed Alsalman
