Hadramout restaurant

We visited this Yemeni restaurant and ordered mandi rice with lamb. The overall taste was good, but the lamb pieces had slightly different flavors. The fish was delicious and light. The service was average. Overall, it was a decent experience with room for improvement.

I was in a group, some folks rated the food at 4 and 5, however I thought it was decent enough to enjoy but not sure if I would make the trip again when I visit Dallas again. We ordered a big tray of rice topped with lamb and chicken of various cuts and flavor.

Best Mediterranean restaurant in Plano, Texas The food is delicious. The service is magnificent. The food takes your taste buds away to another level Highly recommend visiting it

The restaurant is well maintained and has a calm environment. The food was decent and filling, but nothing really stood out as special. We experienced a small delay in receiving our order, and the staff seemed short-handed. It is an average restaurant that works well for a quick and casual visit, but it could improve its service speed.

Kind of bland and refrigerated. Quality of the ingredients are good, and for half a chicken $15 is a very good price. Not bad but lots of room for improvement.

Update on my previous review: We decided to give this place another try, and I’m so glad we did! This time, everything was much cleaner, and it’s clear they’ve been working hard on improving customer satisfaction. The service was noticeably better, and the overall experience was much more enjoyable. I appreciate the effort they’ve put in, and they’ve definitely earned a 5-star rating from me! Looking forward to coming back again. My previous review: When we first walked into Hadramout Restaurant, the place was filled with smoke from the grill, which was overwhelming. We also noticed a lot of flies around, which was concerning. The waiter, however, was friendly and took the time to explain the menu to us, recommending a few dishes. We decided to try the Mandi lamb, Kabsa lamb, and Hanith lamb. When the food arrived, we were impressed with both the taste and the portion sizes—everything was delicious, but the portions were so large that none of us could finish our meals. However, I was disappointed by the cleanliness of the restaurant. For a party of six, they automatically added an 18% service charge, which is fair, but I hope they use that to improve the overall hygiene of the place. The cleanliness definitely needs more attention. If I crave this type of food again, I’ll probably order it to-go instead of dining in.

I was introduced to Hadramout through a word of mouth back in 2023. Being a fan of Yemeni cuisine, I thought I would give it a try. Everytime I came here or ordered take out, I was more than satisfied with the taste and quality of the food. Their Mandi and Haneeth dishes are good; my recommendation is the grilled chicken with extra fried onions (this requires approximately 30 mins of cooking time). The staff are very friendly, hospitable, and attentive.

Hadramout Restaurant is my spot for authentic mandi and biryani! The lamb and chicken mandi are incredibly tender, packed with flavor, and the portions are generous and perfect for sharing or taking home leftovers. The biryani is aromatic and satisfying, with just the right blend of spices. Service is friendly and quick, making every visit enjoyable. If you’re craving delicious arabic cuisine at a reasonable price, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend for both first-timers and regulars!

This is my second visit to the restaurant. It's good to see the food has maintained a level of excellence. The food is very good as well as the portion sizes. Looking forward to visiting again when in town.

The management reached out they honored the Groupons and the food was amazing - we got the lamb hanith which was absolutely delicious and highly recommended.

I want to leave this restaurant 5 stars but unfortunately their service is not good at all. Their food is great, but it's not always the same, so their consistency maintaining the same taste will vary. The vibes are great as far as sitting down on the floor with curtains giving you utmost privacy... Any restaurant I review here more than 2 stars means iv been to the establishment multiple times. I truly think this cuisine joint can be a gemstone if they took it more seriously since there is no competition for yemenise cuisines.

Attentive and quick service for a busy restaurant! We came in on a Friday night and while it was packed, we were able to get seated right away. Our food was also out within 5-10 minutes of ordering. This restaurant is very affordable for the amount of food they give. Even as 3 hungry girls, we could've ordered 1 appetizer and 1 entree and been fine. We got the Mediterranean Plate to start, which was average. The only part I felt was skimpy was the accompanying bread--the 3 half pieces were not nearly enough for all the hummus and baba ghanoush. However, the extra spreads did make good pairings for the rice in the Kabasa Chicken and Mandi Chicken. I wish they came with yogurt sauce, but instead I used the hummus and salsa-type sauce they gave us at the beginning. The chicken was fall off the bone, but the breast meat was very dry despite the tenderness. Hadramout is a good beginner's dive into Yemeni and hits the spot for a craving, but definitely not the best you could try.

Chicken, Lamb, and rice is so flavorful - highly recommend. Ambiance is homey and nice on the inside, has a seating corner with Yemeni culture and feel.

That's so sad for a restaurant like that to be having dirty kitchen and such a bad customer service because of when I complain what I found at the food, he say oh check if you ate one lol By the way, I filed a complaint and will see you soon at the !!! We went there again after he called and asked for another chance and thy looks that don't care about the review and thy charge me $15 extra on each plate for extra meet and there was no extra I'm really sad for that people thy use to have amazing food thy just need to clean them kitchen and hire people with customer service we was two people we take 5 plates and we pay $215 that's insane and when we asked why he say because of the extra meet hahahahhah I hope there is 0 star I can give

I recently dined at this Yemeni restaurant and was blown away by the exquisite flavors and impeccable service. We indulged in their signature dishes: mandi lamb, mandi chicken, and hanith chicken, accompanied by a refreshing yogurt drink and a flavorful soup. The mandi dishes were a culinary delight, with tender meat that melted in the mouth, accompanied by saffron-infused rice that was both soft and bursting with flavor. The sauce served alongside was truly heavenly and added an extra dimension to the meal. The service was quick and courteous, enhancing the overall dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving authentic Yemeni cuisine and exceptional service.

This was my first time trying Yemeni food and it was delicious. The food had lots of flavor and chicken was very tender. The chicken literally fell off the bones. Each entree comes with a lot of rice, so the rice to chicken proportion is a bit off in my opinion. We also ordered the Mediterranean plate appetizer, which was also good, but it only came with 3 pieces of bread. We ended up having to pay for extra bread. They also charge you for water which I wasn't expecting. Overall, very nice to have something new in Plano.

This is by far the best restaurant in DFW. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. The mandi chicken will fall off the bone even if you just wiggle the plate. The fish is amazingly flavored and also is easy to remove from the bone. The dessert isn't too sweet but is by far some of the best dessert I've ever had. The service has always been amazing and the staff has always been so kind and friendly. I have been here about a handful of times and the restaurant continues to blow my mind and remain consistently amazing. I literally dream about this restaurant. There is not a better restaurant in DFW, and it is one of the only Yemeni restaurants around. I had never had Yemeni food prior to trying this restaurant, and what a great representation of it, it is. I recommend that EVERYONE tries this restaurant.

Though this restaurant has great reviews on Google, it wasn't as good as it is portrayed. We had the Ogda chicken and the Mandi chicken. The chicken was kind of dry, the flavor was good and the rice was great, but the chicken was not moist, it was extremely tender, but it was not moist. And chicken does get like that if it's cooked too long or cooked in a crock pot or pressure cooker, it gets very tender but it loses its moisture somehow. I realize it's not a Mediterranean or Pakistani restaurant, but every Middle Eastern restaurant I have eaten at, and I have eaten out a lot, have some type of cucumber yogurt or tatziki sauce, they had yogurt but it was just plain out of the container yogurt. I'm giving it three stars though because the food was fair and it was very affordable, there were three of us and the three meals we had more than filled us up and we had leftovers as well.

My oh my! I'm so happy we found an authentic Yemeni place here. We are used to amazing authentic Yemeni food in Brooklyn and this place was the perfect fit for our Yemeni food cravings. We got the lamb haneeth and chicken zirbeean. I can't rate one over the other, because both were amazing. They come with their own tomatoe based sauces. Plenty of seating and they have an enclosed family / Arabian floor seating which is really cool. We went Friday night and it was pretty busy so account for that. Tip: We got a lamb broth soup and spread it over the lamb haneeth rice and it just made the meal so yummy and juicy.

The prices are a bit high but the portions are huge. So order the Mandi lamb and share it with a friend. It's good and it's worth it. It's served with a flavorful rice, caramelized onions, and a tomato salsa. Very good lamb. But for solo, I do wish they offered half orders. Also, the hummus is quite good and I bet you none of their proceeds go to fund atrocities so that's always appreciated. I had take out but they seemed quite friendly. It's located inside the Minerva banquet center and the signage for Hadramount is in the window in small print. It was busy on Saturday night but they got my order ready instantly. Really nice to have such a positive experience with a local Yemenese place.

Come ready to eat meat and rice here! The service was great, the food came quick, the meal was a good price for the amount of food you get. The hanith chicken was cooked very nicely, and had great flavor. Would definitely eat this again!

The service was quite quick when you put in a time you will arrive they make it fresh. The taste was full and light but nothing was bland. The rice was cooked to perfection and was well seasoned without it being overly salty. The seasoning on the chicken was well coated though some parts of the chicken meat itself were a bit dry but it could be due to it being lean.

I had a fantastic lamb dish that had two large meals' worth of food! Definitely got my money's worth. I would have preferred it spicier, but I was still very impressed. I would definitely go back!

Great value . Great lamb and chicken haneeth. Ordered for some guests. Was ready on time and they helped load my car.

Amazing food! Service was great and had good Recommendations! Sat in traditional seating with a large party and had fun in that area.

Super delicious and very authentic. Meat was so tender, falling off the bone. Generous portions, will definitely be back for more .

Better than some mandi places I've had in the GCC! The food quality and flavors are authentic and the meat is fall off the bone tender. You cannot go wrong here. Service is just ok and if you have a large enough group you can sit in the floor seating areas

If you like Arab food and fond of mandi and similar things, this is the place. Really scrumptious. Meat was tender and was falling of bones. Service is great. Ambiance is fine but not 5 star. 5 star rating is for food and service.

Excellent food! Seriously best in the business, would highly recommend to anyone who hasn't tried it yet! Fast service and a great place to take the family and eat or take home. 10 stars if possible.

Food was good Mandi is a new Dish for Dallas. Worth trying ingredients were different Meats were great.

Great food! We had the Mandi chicken and Mandi lamb. Delicious! The meat was falling off the bone and very tasty. The rice was also very flavorful.

Heard about this place from friends and it was great. Portion enough for 2 adults. It was tasty and service was professional. Definitely go back again. I wish I took pics.

Great food and friendly atmosphere and people We have been going around to find a good mandi restaurant. Hadramout is the best we have found so far.

One of the best places if you want to try something that is authentic Mandi specially lamb Mandi Amazing people amazing service and amazing food

Very tasty food. Highly recommend it it's my first time trying yamani food will be back for sure

Food amazing, the meat and rice perfectly done Service- absolutely fantastic, the men and the lady who served us was extremely nice and polite. Ambiance was BUSY, lol -- the place was hopping and the servers were moving as fast as humanly possible. Their red sauce and hummus were one of the tastiest I have had and the serving size was enormous. I am going back soon

We got two types of rice with chicken and lamb. The platter feeds 6. One of the best rice and lamb I've ever had. Only one thing, a platter for 6 only has enough meat for 5. Aside from that I will be returning soon.

Finally stopped here for takeout and tried the Zurbian chicken. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, fell right off the bone. It was absolutely delicious. The portion size is huge. I'll definitely be back. Check this place out! The atmosphere was very inviting, and the service was friendly.

Their Mandi is the best! The chicken melts in your mouth & the lamb is so soft! We keep going back for more! Best part is the taste stays consistent!

Best Hanith Lamb.Hanith Chicken.The only issue is they get super busy on Fridays - expect wait times.

Great food! Very authentic it doesn't get any better than this. Prices are very low quality is very high. The Search for real Yemeni food in America is over this is it

Amazing restaurant and staff. Super friendly people with ridiculously delicious food. I recommend Kabsa Lamb and Hanith Chicken. The meat literally falls off the bone, no knife required.
