Spicy at Sanaa?

[Anton Seatter]

I’ve been to Sanaa once and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, they obviously cater for the American palate as the food isn’t particularly spicy. The hottest dish I had would be medium (at best) in UK.

Im not a thrill seeker Phaal eating monster but I do like some punch to my curry. I was wondering whether, if asked, the kitchen can turn up the heat? And what would I ask for - I assume “Indian hot”?!

So I was told you could but when we did it still didn't seem that hot. My mum can't handle any heat at all and loved it but me and my brother-in-law (who both love heat) were very underwhelmed.
