Quick info
About Hadramout Restaurant
Hadramout Restaurant is a Yemeni restaurant on Welmar Street East, spread across two levels with a different setup on each. Downstairs offers tables for those who walk straight in, while upstairs seating uses cubicles with floor seating, rugs and cushions instead of chairs. Meals start with complimentary soup, and orders are placed and paid for at a counter before eating. The menu runs to 63 dishes, including Agdah Chicken alongside recurring Lamb and Chicken Mandi, both served with a red chutney sauce on the side, and fresh orange juice can be ordered to accompany the meal. A private dining room is available for groups. The restaurant opens daily, and reservations are recommended, though a queue can still form for seating, particularly upstairs at busier times. Takeaway and delivery are also offered for those eating off site.

Customer Review Summary
Lamb Mandi emerges as the clear favorite among reviewers, repeatedly praised as tender, juicy, and full of flavor, with several noting the accompanying complimentary soup and a red chutney that many single out as elevating the dish. Close behind, lamb khabsa, muhamer lamb and rice, and the Agdah Chicken draw their own strong followings, along with fresh orange juice and the traditional floor seating in curtained upstairs cubicles, which diners describe as intimate and great for groups. Several call the chicken broast among the best they've had in the UK, and staff are frequently described as friendly, though a few mention small order errors and waits during busy periods. Service complaints recur with more weight: one regular customer describes being turned away without explanation when upstairs was full and downstairs seating wasn't offered, and another recounts a long, confusing queue only to be sent upstairs and find it full with unhelpful staff. One reviewer also found the space "a bit tired" and the flavor merely average compared to Mandi elsewhere. Even so, several describe returning again and again for the same three lamb dishes, calling the experience consistently authentic and freshly cooked.

“Need more people, came in and asked how to order. The guy told us to wait in the queue, then we could go up after. And guess what after LONG TIME QUEING, he asked us if we had a place upstairs???!! Went upstairs and it was full, all of them looked like they couldn’t be bothered. Wasting time.”
