  “Hadramowt was a nice chill spot, looked very busy but managed to get a table immediately. All other tables were occupied. I love a Lamb Mandi and was very excited, I could see portion sizes around em were amazing but unfortunately the rice served with the Mandi was not Mandi rice but Asian biryani rice, with the spices and colouring so it made the meal a 3/5. Lovely service and prices are extremely reasonable.”

  “I have eaten at Hadramowt before and usually enjoyed the food, which is why today’s experience was so disappointing. The food was absolutely disgraceful. I found two hairs in my lamb mandi, and the rice was cold, bland, and lacked any flavour. It was nothing like the quality I had experienced on previous visits. What made the experience even worse was the service. When I politely spoke to the kitchen staff about the issues with the meal, I was basically ignored. There was no apology, no concern, and no attempt to resolve the situation. It’s a real shame because this used to be a restaurant I would happily recommend. Unfortunately, based on today’s experience, both the food quality and customer service were unacceptable. I will not be returning.”

  “A great choice for comforting Middle Eastern-style food and big flavours. It feels like the sort of meal that needs a sweet ending, so the Little Dessert Shop 20% off with the receipt is a nice touch.”

  “Delicious ‘melt in the mouth’ lamb mandi, excellent value for money. Staff were lovely and accommodating, the service was brilliant. Took a milk cake to enjoy at home, so good! Two meals and desert for £30, you can’t go wrong!”

  “It’s really disappointing the food quality totally changed. Especially lamb mandi the meat is okay but rice too worst now. The chicken Mandi also same, chicken is good but the rice too bad. It’s not my first time visit, three years ago I went there for having lamb Mandi. That’s was really great. After that I use to go there, six months ago also had lamb Mandi that was good. But two days ago I got really bad mandi rice and the meat is okay. I can really feel the quality full changed. I recommend to my friends also they had really bad experience with food and customer service. I’m just adding this review only for who really love good quality food. I hope in future they gonna bring the quality back.”

  “I often have dinner here, and it’s always a great experience. Last night I went with friends and recommended the place , we weren’t disappointed! The lamb mandi was perfect, and the service was excellent, especially Yazan who made us feel very welcome. They even offered us free tea after the meal. Definitely a place I recommend!”

  “They do one thing but they do ot best. Always packed full but vibes and hospitality is great. Value for money is also amazing. The smell of 10 pressure cookers going off stewing the lamb is unforgettable.”

  “I recently visited a restaurant called Hadramowt, and I had a wonderful dining experience. We ordered the Lamb Mandi platter and the grilled fish sea bass. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared, making it an enjoyable meal. The ambiance of the restaurant is pleasant—though not overly sophisticated, it offers a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The interior decorations evoke a sense of Yemeni culture, which adds a unique charm to the setting. The pricing is reasonable, neither too high nor too low, making it a great option for those looking for quality food at an affordable cost. The restaurant also serves food at the perfect temperature, ensuring a satisfying dining experience. Overall, Hadramout offers a solid balance of good food, a cozy atmosphere, and fair pricing. If you're looking for a place that brings a touch of Yemen through both its food and decor, this restaurant is an excellent choice. It provides a great setting for a casual meal with family or friends, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic, flavorful food. My visit to Hadramout was truly enjoyable, and I look forward to returning in the future.”

  “Edit: 29/01/25 - they have greatly reduced their meat portion now with the lamb, last 4/5 takeaways at various times of day and in the week have had way less meat portion. Compare to my original photo. Used to have 3/4 very large chunks of lamb, now you barely get 3/4 strips of lamb if you're lucky. I would drive all the way from another city for this but I'll have to stop, it's no longer the same value for money it once was over the years. Tastes good still but the portion is disappointing compared to what it was - look at other people's photos from a few months or year back. I can't help but feel a bit ripped off to pay the same amount and get less - is you're going to reduce the portion reduce the price too. Old review: Really like this place, often come here for takeaway or with friends/family. The food is generally good, sizeable portion for the price and typically very tasty. There's not a huge variety on the menu but you're likely going there for the Mandi. The chicken Mandi is my least favourite, it's a bit dry, I prefer the lamb Mandi but sometimes the portion of meat seems to fluctuate (the chicken portions are much more consistent). I've given the food 4 stars due to the inconsistency. Either way you'll be full and satisfied most of the time. Customer service is essentially non-existent unless you really try to get their attention, and they DON'T take card but have no sign to say or wont always inform customers of this before ordering. They'll direct you to the closest cash machine which costs to use. Recommended, but remember to take cash with you, about £13-£15ish if you plan to get drinks with your meal.”

  “I recently visited Hadramowt, and honestly, it was a frustrating experience. The biggest disappointment was the staff’s behavior—rude, inattentive, and completely unprofessional. It felt like they had no interest in serving customers properly. However, there was one exception—a girl who was polite, helpful, and the only reason I didn’t walk out. Another major issue is their outdated payment system. In a time when contactless payments are the norm, they only accept cash. It’s highly inconvenient, especially for those who don’t carry cash. That being said, I have to admit their lamb mandi was delicious. The flavors were rich, and the meat was tender, making it the only redeeming factor of the visit. Would I return? Only if they fix their staff’s attitude and update their payment methods. Otherwise, good food alone isn’t enough to justify the hassle.”
