Simplicity and flavor are usually the highlights of Yemeni food and Hadramout kept the theme going. I've tried their lamb haneeth, chicken mandi and mofa fish. Nothing beats the lamb Haneeth, especially once you pair it with the spicy tomato-chilli sauce. The fish was my second favorite item here. Nothing altered to cater to a new audience, this was the kind of Yemeni fish you'd find across Yemeni run roadside food stops in the Middle East. Yemeni staples of salatah and bread are next in my list to try. Going by the initial experiences, I have no doubt they should be great.

Quick, friendly service The food is tasty and the portions were good. Would come back again

We're trying the places around Abyssinia and found this. Great local restaurant! Friendly owner and welcoming space Lots of people doing take out. Lots of regulars (as there should be)

The lamb haneeth. It's popular for a reason. Can easily get two meals out of it. Amazing flavor and juicy.

Environment I ordered takeout. Staff were very friendly and attentive during pickup. Note: I placed my order as they were opening at 11 am. Food Arabic coffee: Strong and not very bitter. Just how I like it. Samboosa: When ordering you have the option of having it oil or ghee fried. I selected to have it fried in ghee. It has a crispy-crunchy outside while still remaining light and flaky. Full of flavor and spiciness on the inside with the perfect amount of filling. Paired with the fruit chutney this was truly a delicious starter. Chicken Mandi: (Served with a large portion of basmati rice and a serving of root vegetables). The rice and vegetables were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The bone-in chicken leg was fall off the bone tender, moist and nicely seasoned. I enjoyed the amount sweetness in the spice rub very much. Full disclosure: I ate the majority of it with my hands. Overview This is a quaint and affordable neighborhood restaurant that (in my opinion) is doing everything really well. I will definitely be returning in the future and recommending that people try it. Shukran jazilan!

The food was scrumptious. I ordered Hanneth with vegetable stew and it was perfect. The guy on the phone followed all of my requests which was very kind of him. The rest was tender and not salty. It was a bit noisy in the background but it was ok. The spicy condiments were beyond yummy.

Food was delicious! The lamb is so tender and flavorful. Service was wonderful. I would definitely recommend!

My friends and I came here for a weekly dinner one night. We have all heard good things from this hole in the wall restaurant. This is my first time trying Yemani food! We each got Samboosa to try which is a flaky pastry with meat and cheese. The sauce that came with it had a kick to it. For my entree I got the Chicken mandi. Its a big piece of chicken on a bed of spiced rice and veggies. Delicious! The chicken was fall off the bone and the spices were on point. We enjoyed our meal and the prices weren't bad at all! The only negatives was that you had to buy your own drinks (including waters) and the bathroom was alittle dirty. Other than that it was a great meal with friends :)

Hadramout has been on my radar for the better half of a year, and this was my first in-person visit. A couple of weeks ago I did try their Chicken Kabab take-out which was served over veggies and rice. Overall, that was a 3 star for me as I felt the rice wasn't very well seasoned, and the chicken was a little dry, as well as the price/value. Yesterday I opted to try the Chicken Mandi w/ rice which is listed at $13.99 but charged $14.99 on the receipt, seems like an outdated menu. The rice was the same, but man is that chicken good and what a portion! I love the seasoning, and the chicken literally falls off the bone. I also enjoyed the samboosa $1.5 and my Yemeni tea for $1. Hadramout doesn't look like much when you walk in - but if you're looking for some good homecooked Yemeni food, look no further. I'll definitely be back to try the fish dish along with some other chicken haneeth dish I was eyeing.

There are numerous Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants in this area, many of them very good, but none of them do things the way Hadramout does. This is a Yemeni restaurant that's pretty nondescript on the outside (and the inside too honestly), but with amazingly-cooked and unique food that's both adventurous yet comforting. The lamb dishes are real highlights, with the lamb haneeth consisting of a sizable portion of tender bone-in meat with rice and braised veggies, and the fasah being a sizzling flavorful stew served with a GIANT flatbread for you to wipe up every last drop. The lamb barely even tasted gamey, but if lamb's not your thing, the chicken mandi is an entire half chicken that's just as tender as the lamb haneeth while still coming with the same accompaniments. We also ordered samboosas (their version of samosas) but ate them so fast I can't really comment on them, and our food came with a VERY spicy salsa-like sauce that's nice for acidity if you can handle the heat. Everything is very affordably priced, especially considering the large portions and the quality of the lamb. We shared all of the pictured dishes for a table of three and had a good amount of one entree left to take home. The service was a bit slow and spotty on this occasion since it was pretty busy and only had one server working who wasn't too fluent in English; our table had ordered a tea that didn't come and we asked to get it taken off the check with no issues. I still found the meal outstanding and personally wasn't too bothered; perhaps come here when you have a lot to chat about with your table and not for a quick bite. Would still really recommend this place, whether you're looking for a new cuisine to try or some warm hearty food to share while socializing with friends!
