I loved this restaurant! I was staying not too far from them so I walked there one night. As soon as I was seated I was offered a complimentary tea. My server was gentle and kind. There were so many items on the menu but I decided to try a dish I had never had before. I chose chicken gallaba. They brought me a salad and lamb broth first. I did not expect those but I loved it. My dish was huge. The plate itself was huge. They gave me a ton of basmati rice! I loved the smell of the spices and the bursting flavors. I was only able to eat maybe 1/3 of it but I enjoyed the leftover later. I think this is such good value. The place is not big but has a cozy home feeling to it. I recommend! read more

The food and portions were great! This was a no frills spot! It is right next to Yemen cafe and I think is just as good Food: the food was good! The vegetarian appetizer is so large - it has a veggie stew, hummus and baba ganoish, and bread! We also ordered the chicken fahsa which was also quite delicious! I think the quality of the food was good and more than enough for 4 people! Price: very reasonable especially given the portion sizes Ambience: no frills spot! Service: the service is very slow! read more

Loved every bite of this authentic Yemeni restaurant! Their bread comes out hot and fresh and is gigantic! They also have great fahsa stews with a variety of protein options ranging from vegetarian to fish or meat options, this is definitely a highlight and cannot be done with takeout because it is served in a large stone crater bowl. They also have delicious rice dishes and their mezze platter is a fantastic starter for the table, the babaghanoush is the best! Service is friendly and attentive, however they do not provide water and you have to buy bottled. Either way, highly recommend going with a big group and doing family style! read more

I had the veggie combo, which came with hummus, baba ghanoush, a salad, and mushakal. There's also self-serve tea included with every meal. The flavors were all great - the dips were fresh and creamy, the bread was light and fluffy, and the mushakhal was warm and hearty. It's an enormous amount of food for $32 after tax and tip. Plus it's open 24 hours, so supremely convenient. read more

Saturday night dinner; not crowded at all, tons of seating, spacious and clean; first time at this restaurant; the waitress was neither helpful nor enthusiastic when we inquired about recommendations or popular dishes- guess she was tired. We ordered the lamb haneeth and chicken fahsa; both were excellent. Rice and flatbread weee good. Lamb broth that came part of the entrees was delicious. No complaints. read more

hadramout is in yemen. why is a yemeni themed place serving dishes from other arab countries? either double down on the yemeni theme or make a name thats accomodating to the other arab countries their dishes represent. sidenote: the mushkal was good. read more

This was my first time trying Yemen cuisine and it was super flavorful! The large lavash bread that came with the meal was soft and delicious, similar to naan. The egg dish was super flavorful and packed with veggies. The chicken was also great and great flavors. You can tell the hummus is homemade and they top it off with great quality EVOO. Highly recommend this spot for some flavorful dishes. read more

Hadramout Cafe - Hummus and falafel Chicken Ghallaba Vegetable and Egg Omelet - Middle Eastern Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had the opportunity to visit this place while working in Brooklyn. I was very excited to try it as I had seen it on one of the food delivery apps; as the sound of the roasted lamb drew me in. Upon visiting it was a quiet establishment and it wasn't very busy, or noisy around the time of day that I went there. The food itself was expensive, considering it was lamb. But due to the lack of flavors it did t feel worth it to me. They meat itself was tender but more on the side of bland, there was also a lot of fat and not meat. So I ended up throwing it out. I'm also not sure if it was what I had ordered either. The rice was ok, but everything felt like it needed just one shake from a salt shaker. If you don't like too many flavors in your food I would recommend, but for me this wasn't my favorite. read more

It hard to review this place and not compare it to the upstairs more popular Yemen Cafe. The ladder has an actual lunch menu but is more pricey. The former or this place first off starts with better bread but has slightly worse soup. Personally I find the lamb haneeth to be barely worse here but I prefer the fahtah here. The spices are a bit better here. The mulikhai is a gloopy dish which is quite tasty and it has a good amount of lamb also unless you get the appetizer version. In terms of desser, the fatah with dates are fine but a lot worse than the one upstairs as I didn't think the texture was merged enough. If you want something lighter, get dessert across the street from Damascus (no not the overpriced Sahadi's) or Diwan next door (which also has very good Yemeni coffee/tea) or Malko Karkanni Bros for a pastry or two. Basically going to give this around the same rating as the place upstairs. You pay a little bit less here but there's pros and cons to both. I slightly prefer here but barely. 4.1. read more

I was excited to try Hadramout given what seemed to be an availability of more vegetarian options than the better-known Yemen Cafe on Atlantic Avenue. Our actual dining experience was mixed by dish. The highlights were the awe-inspiring flatbread - truly larger than your face - and the moulikhia, a well-spiced green vegetable stew which I have often seen on Egyptian menus but never encountered in other contexts. The combination of these two was excellent, even if rice might serve as a more suitable vehicle for moulikhia, generally speaking. Less successful was the fassoulia with hummus, a medley of kidney beans and caramelized onions that here was too dry and lacking in flavor. I had had much better versions of this in the Yemeni section of Hamtramck in Michigan. The cheese and honey platter was also mediocre, without any noteworthy characteristics. read more

I had eaten at this restaurant a couple of years ago. The service was not great but the food was really good. I recently went there again and it was a disappointment. The food is oily and somewhat tasteless and not worth the price you pay for it. The waiter never comes around unless you ring a bell by the table and the place is small and old. I would not go back again. read more

The gem i found from a recommendation of a friend. the well maintained establishment welcomed us in very openly. Our waitress Inni was delightful. She provided excellent service and the food came out with haste. the prices were afforadable and the Tea that was complimentary is so tasty they should bottle it up and sell it. i really recommend checking this spot . it's 24 hours! the flavor is worth any trip. thank you Inni. read more

Having thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Yemen Cafe, my partner and I ordered delivery from Hadramout to try more Yemeni cuisine. I believe the name of the restaurant refers to the east-central region, on the Gulf of Aden, in Yemen. In the absence of being able to travel there pre- and during the pandemic to explore the cuisine and culture first-hand, trying Hadramout Restaurant's dishes seemed to be the best alternative. We ordered the lamb haneeth and the chicken ghallaba. Both came with a side salad, lamb broth, tandoor bread, and two sauces (one spicy, the other sweeter). The lamb haneeth was the indubitable winner. The slow-roasted lamb was so tender on the inside while well-spiced on the outside. Paired with the tandoor bread and lamb broth, this was splendid. I was less enthusiastic about the chicken ghallaba, which did not have a strong curry flavor. Perhaps I ordered poorly and should have opted for another chicken dish, either roasted or grilled. The diced chunks probably didn't highlight the best of Hadramout's technique or spice mixtures. Overall, we were able to get 1.5 meals out of the two entrees for two people. The bread was more than enough for two meals. I'm sure our meals would have been superior eaten fresh at the restaurant, but we were still glad to have experienced them, especially the lamb and tandoor breads, nevertheless. read more

What a fantastic late night find. The food was so good. We had the Fahsa chicken and the baba ghanoush and hummus - were so tasty. Amazing texture - and really fresh. The texture of the tandoori rahshooh ( flat bread ) is perfect - it comes hot and crispy Street from the oven with the sprinkling of nigella seeds. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes here. read more

The first place rejected us; Hadramout Restaurant did not! read more

This was the best Yemeni food I've ever had & possibly one of the best meals I ate on my whole trip through New York and Brooklyn. The waiter, Khalid was so kind and helpful. The cook is really Yemeni and so sweet- let me peek in the kitchen. If I'm ever in the Area again, this will be a must-stop10/10.

Where else can you get some pretty damn good Yemeni food at 3am ? Whether you liked their service or not, the likelihood of getting amazing ethnic food at 3am is pretty low and it's worth the drive if you're not from the area. Overall the vibe of the place upon entering is a nice Yemeni style diner and you can sit where ever you like (the booths are huge!). Nowadays It's not easy to come by good food service workers so if you experience any delay (which I doubt) bare with them and you will get your food in record time. Everytime I come here it's a great experience, the staff is friendly and you'll enjoy this almost-home-cooked-feel-of-a-meal. Their homemade bread is like a large tandoori naan great for 2-3 people (depending how hungry they are). It's communal eating so everyone gets to take a piece off the same bread. The grilled chicken is amazing and That lamb haneeth is yoga-FIRE! The baba ganoush with the bread is delish but if you order the soup what you do is dip the bread in the soup and scoop up the baba ganoush and you got a nice flavor bomb going. Their dessert is unique (I think we ordered the Fet-Ta) and if you're not sensitive to textures (jokes aside I got friends who won't eat sushi or bananas because of the texture) then take a crack at it. It's a yemeni bread pudding made and it was legit. I think my friends and I finished it and left that place satisfied. Over all , this is a solid place , staff is friendly and the vibe is right. No pictures because you need to go see it and experience the food for yourself. read more

I've been here many, many times over the past week and a half. The portions are huge, the prices are reasonable given the portion size, and the lamb and chicken are incredibly tender and juicy! My favorite part, though, is the Yemeni Sweet Tea that is offered free with every meal. You can also get refills at the counter. It is SO good! Service can be a bit hit or miss in the early hours of the morning, 7-9 am, but it's super early, so I can understand that! Sometimes they are just all in the back, and you have to wait for them to remember that you are there. But the people there are quite kind, and I very much enjoy their food. This will absolutely be a staple place for me! read more

Came here on Christmas day with family. I called beforehand to make sure they're open and was told they open 365 days a year (yelp also says it opens 24hr)! We stopped here for dinner before heading further into Dyker Heights in Brooklyn to see the Christmas lights. Undecided about the Yemen Cafe next door and Hadramout from my online research, we decided to walk up and see. Yemen Cafe had a line waiting to be seated and it was only 5pm... so we decided to go with Hadramout which had a few tables occupied but still definitely had seats available. I think we got to seat ourselves then the waiter came to give us menus. The four of us ordered a medium maza platter from the old appetizers list which included humus, ghanoush, falafel, and salad. The fried cauliflower was supposed to come with it too but they were out. A lamb ghallaba with bread, and aqda chicken. Because some of us weren't that hungry yet, we didn't order an entree each and shared everything. It was nice to start with the salad and a lamb soup. Then the maza platter came which was really impressive. What I really loved was the rashoosh (tandori bread) which was HUGE! Basically the four of us shared one and had a hard time finishing it. Some parts of it were crispy but it also had a good bite and was chewy. Reminded me very much so of a lao bing (烙餅) if you're Chinese and know what that is. I think we're supposed to eat with the spread and also our meat dishes so that's what we did. Ate the hadramout bread with everything that was on the table. The cubed lamb was a bit dry and not seasoned well but the chicken was good and was basically a stewed chicken with vegetables (eggplant, potato, etc). Definitely liked the baba ghanoush with the bread the most out of this meal and interested in trying yemeni cuisine again in the near future. If you're gluten free, you can get the meat dishes over rice :) Only giving it a three stars because a couple of things we wanted to order off of the menu they did not have available, the lamb was disappointing. Also, although our server was friendly, later part of the meal the restaurant got packed and they didn't really have the capacity to serve every table adequately. I would round it up another 1/2 star because the bread was so cool for my first time exploring Yemeni cuisine. read more

Ordered some food here recently and the portions were much bigger than I was expecting! The lamb shawerma was massive but also very very delicious. Also tried the maza platter which was interesting... the hummus was pretty good, the baba ghanoush was different than what I've had before (a bit mayonnaise-y like a tartar sauce almost) and the falafel was different as well. It was perfectly fried but not as bean-forward as I'm accustomed to. Overall I think the lamb was the way to go but fun to try different things! read more

I highly recommend the "lotta ghallaba" package for a family dinner night. It can serve plenty, just add extra side salads and soups to your order for more people. All four varieties of ghallaba are tasty and delicately flavored. The lamb broth soup is truly delicious. The bread is soft and warm and toothsome, and served in huge portions. Make sure to wrap up any leftover bread tightly + ziplock it so it doesn't dry out. Service in the restaurant can be subpar and it has seemed on my visits that they were a little dismissive to non-Arab customers and clearly prioritized Arab clientele in table service. At this point, I only get take-out here. Despite poor table service, they have a good record of having takeout ready on schedule. read more

We ordered from them at 2 in the morning after arriving to Brooklyn from LA. We were so hungry and had wrong food delivered by another place earlier. I would have eaten anything at that point but it was actually really tasty. The falafel were crispy and babaganoush was flavorful. Falafel wrap was huge and tasted really good. The portions are generous. We liked it! read more

We've been going to Yemen cafe for years and figured hey let's give Hadramout a chance. Big mistake. Huge. Service is terrible. My husband became very ill because he's allergic to dairy and they put mayonnaise in the baba ganoush (not indicated on the menu). The fasoulia was dry, the bread was burnt. The service was just awful. They plopped down two teas on the table and tried to charge us $3/each for it at the end. We don't do dairy and they both had milk. Overall a terrible experience. Do yourself a favor and go to Yemen Cafe. There is a reason it's always packed. read more
