Somali’s influenced Yemenis. Somalis are a major demographic in South Yemen. The food is originally Somali but the Yemeni’s have copied our style of cooking.
The Somalis have monetized this style of cooking on social media whether it’s on YouTube or Tiktok. Aseed & Fahsa are considered the main dishes of Yemen.

foreigners tax. The uncles that own this spot need to renovate the interior. I heard the food bangs but the spot is dreaded.

How come you can't find this food in Somalia? They dont even eat chicken. Its considered the lower man's food, along with seafood. It was only recently that it was introduced to cater to diaspora and foreigners. Ask for chicken in Somalia just a few years ago and you'd be looked at like an alien and they would lose respect for you.
These foods are only available in Somali restaurants in the west sort of like how Chinese restaurants in China do not have lemon chicken, general tso, chicken fried rice, ginger beef. Somali restaurants in the west are the 2.0 of Chinese restaurants in the west.
The meat looks great though. I'll skip the rice, a useless food.

I was visiting a coastal city and seafood there was shunned by the locals. I lucked out when fish was available because it was rarely available. Most delicious fish I ever ate. I wonder what kind it was.
Thy had chicken in the restaurants in Jijiga, where are you from?

Not a single piece of saladh on that plate. How can people eat this without saladh?
There's at least 30 pressed Yemenis in the comments
For the diaspora and its seldom available. No one eats chicken at home. They only eat goat and camel meat on occasion.
that fufu thing, I was on FaceTime with my Algerian friend and was confused why she was eating fufu kulaha we call it aseed
too much shit in my mouth confuses my taste budsNot a single piece of saladh on that plate. How can people eat this without saladh?

That's unfortunate, mate; I love seafood, especially fish and prawns.
You are a culinary disappointment
Rice is the greatest
Rice is my go-to carbohydrate; I use it for fuel and I have no fear of ever becoming fat, because, well, it's impossible
The comments were very much tame, even by the Yemenis that commented. I didn't see any name callings or insults. The absolute majority of the comments were just about the food looking amazing and asking which restaurant this was.
On another note, i'm tired of these bootlicking Somalis that perpetuate the banana stereotype. Literally all the comments are about where the banana is, not even talking about the food/restaurant in the video.
Sure, many of us eat with it (and it's indeed delicious) but many of us don't either. They act like that is an universal Somali experience. Very much a caricature that they love pushing for it so much, now all these non Somalis (both in the comments and just overall) are saying the same stuff (many who have never seen and eaten Somali food).
