I tried the salta here — and it was great — but the lamb Fahsa? Oh my god. Absolutely incredible. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and so filling. The bread portion was exactly what it should be: generous enough to fully enjoy the dish the way it’s meant to be eaten.

As a non-Yemeni Middle Easterner, this was my first real experience with Yemeni food, and I was blown away. I was so impressed that I later tried a Fahsa at another Yemeni spot just to compare — and it wasn’t even close to what I had here.

The atmosphere here is phenomenal, but not in the overdone, “look at our décor” kind of way. They don’t rely on flashy visuals or gimmicks — you walk in, order your food, sit down, and the focus is entirely on the food and the experience. That’s how you know a place is truly good.

The service was also top-notch — friendly, attentive, and genuine. You really can’t get any better than that.

If you’re looking for true, authentic Yemeni food, this is the spot. This is the spot. Whether you’re a tourist or someone craving proper Middle Eastern Yemeni cooking with the right portions, Hadramaut delivers every time.

Amazing Yemeni restaurant! The food was good and served fresh with generous portions, but what really stood out was the staff—they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely interactive

This restaurant is trash and their customer service is more trashier. I placed an order via doordash yesterday. They ran out of the main meal I ordered. Instead of contacting me as a civilized and professional business would about a possible replacement. The restaurant decided they had the authority to replace my order with whatever they choosed for me. When I noticed the replacement, I immediately contacted them via phone, I encountered a rude and dismissive lady who picked up the phone. She hang up on me mid-sentence. I called back and she didn't pick up my call. I called doordash to connect me to the restaurant for a resolution. She was rude again on a recorded line with doordash, she insisted that the restaurant was too busy and she didn't have time to provide customer service as a representative of the restaurant. I ended up requesting that the restaurant canceled my order due to their rudeness and lack of customer service skills.
If you value customer service, peace and respect from a business you spend your money at. Avoid this place like a plague. Very uncivilized and unprofessional.

If you’re looking for authentic Arabic food, this is the spot you have to check out. The Mandi lamb and chicken are absolutely amazing—full of real, traditional flavor. Their foul and fresh bread are also the real deal.

This isn’t your typical Americanized Mediterranean place serving “chicken over rice.” This is real Arabic cuisine.

If you’ve been searching for a truly authentic spot, this is it. You won’t regret trying it. The only heads-up: it might feel a bit pricey for the location—but trust me, the quality makes it worth it.

I had high hopes for Hadramout Restaurant, but unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. The food lacked the authentic flavor one would expect from Yemeni cuisine — bland, oily, and served lukewarm. The service was slow and inattentive, and the cleanliness of the dining area left a lot to be desired.

While the restaurant may look appealing from the outside, my visit was ultimately a letdown. There are definitely better options nearby that offer tastier dishes and a more welcoming atmosphere. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless major improvements are made.
