You will not believe you’re in Bangkok, Thailand! Welcome to Petra Restaurant (مطعم اليمني ابو دبه), a legendary 35-year culinary institution located right on Bangkok’s famous Arab Street. Known across Southeast Asia for serving the absolute best Yemeni food in Bangkok, this place is an absolute must-visit for any food lover.
In this video, I’m teaming up with my friend Fahad Albishri @Fahad.Albishri to take on an epic Middle Eastern feast. We got exclusive behind-the-scenes kitchen access to see exactly how they prepare their iconic, melt-in-your-mouth traditional Yemeni Mandi.
We also dive into their famous, bubbling Yemeni stews—featuring one secret ingredient that makes them completely unique—and we get to sit down with a true legend, Abu Dabbah, whose reputation stretches across the entire Arab world!

Don't support outside food. Encourage home food

Still eating like a Swine!
Another paid review.
Hey Mark ❤ from Southern California 😀⭐️🌞
That bubbling fenugreek foam is looking at me like it's alive and ready to throw hands! Mark's taste buds were not ready for that jiggle
I'm staying about 400 metres from this restaurant and will definitely visit. That's if I can get in now that The King of Food Royalty has given the seal of approval.
Why they use eating hands then squeeze??
Is it me or has Mark been arranging appointments with restaurant owners lately instead of visiting restaurants unannounced and more casually like he did in the past (e.g. his Veganburg visit in Singapore years ago)? With appointments and a friendly relationship with the owners (exclusive kitchen visits, etc), it does look like he would be more inclined to give a good review of the food. Also the videos tend to focus on 1 restaurant at a time instead of exploring freely along the streets, etc. Feels a bit like an advertisement for the restaurant. I hope Mark doesn't lose that sense of freedom and autonomy which has defined his content from the beginning.
Mark Wiens Where are you from?
Yum
I'm glad he's eased up on doing that stupid face every time he eats something

U r a real idiot. Eat everything for free . Shame on you. You have to pay what you r eating. You make so much money by your channel. I hope you understand. God bless you
I was just watching the Qatar video from 1 year ago and Fahad is back😂😂
From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Wonderful ❤
Yum!
It’s absolutely the best middle eastern restauramnt in the area. We lived around the corner for 10 years and ate there, or brought food home from there, almost every week. The old boss is hilarious and VERY sociable. I still go there whenever I am nearby – but, these days, eat a bit less than Mark and Fahad!
@Mark Wiens go to apattaya and try the following one… it's the level up…
