What we believe in.

• 01

  Rooted in Yemen.

  Every dish begins with the spice routes, the slow-cooked traditions, and the communal table of Yemenite cooking. The recipes are ancient. The technique is ours.

• 02

  Refined by France.

  French culinary discipline shapes how we work — the precision of the brigade, the respect for the ingredient, the patience of the sauce. Two traditions, one kitchen.

• 03

  A table worth lingering at.

  We don't rush the meal. Temen is designed for the kind of evening that stretches — where the conversation outlasts the courses and the last glass is poured slowly.

• 04

  Santa Monica, always.

  The Promenade is our home. We source locally, hire locally, and cook for the neighbourhood we live in — with the ambition of a kitchen that belongs to the world.
