I've been here twice with family, and it was great both times! We've had the samboosa (appetizer), fahsah (lamb stew that comes in a clay pot), kofta kebab, lamb kebab, lamb chops, and lamb haneeth, as well as the tea and basbousa for dessert. Though everything was tasty, I'd especially recommend the fahsah and lamb haneeth, which was super tender and flavorful. The portions are generous (especially for the price), and this is a great place to go with a group, as they'll bring all of your food on a large platter and you can dig in together (with the bread and your hands!) The service is also excellent, as the owner of the restaurant always makes sure to check up on people. A must try in West Philly! read more

This little restaurant is a hidden gem! Yemeni food. Delicious selections all expertly prepared. And impeccable service and hospitality. This was a serendipitous find for us. Recommend highly. read more

It's a 5 star for food. Amazing food quality for the price. It's only one of the few places where I've had one of the best lamb in philly. Super juicy, tender and fucking tasty. The restaurant is small and the ambience is not really appealing. But I can't complain with that kind of food. My favorite is the shredded lamb fahsa and shafoot. But everything else on the menu is good too. read more

The food is delicious, the portion sizes are HUGE, the price is good too considering you're getting 2-3 meals out of one order. My whole family loves this restaurant and we regularly order from here. The dessert and chai is amazing. Many times when I've gone out with friends I took them all to Hadramout for a night cap :) The service is great too! read more

Amazing food. Family oriented. The kindest people on staff. Literally probably the best restaurant in West Philly. I'm addicted to the Lamb Fahsah, but I haven't tried anything I didn't enjoy from here (their chicken, samboosa, fish.. Lol. I'm obviously a fan). Highly recommend! read more

I haven't had Yemeni food and was glad to be able to try it in Philly. Now, I dream about the fassah and have come back for it. Get the $1 soup too. Samboosahs and the other lamb dishes are good, but really the fassah is so magical in its simplicity and homeyness. Friendly staff as well. read more

My friends and I had a fantastic experience at Hadramout this evening. Even as a group of six in a fairly small restaurant, we were seated very quickly. Our waiter, Frank, was extremely friendly and recommended a variety of dishes for us. The food was fantastic; flavorful, plentiful, and fresh. The fahsah and the lamb glaba were particularly good, and the homemade bread was delicious. The final bill was very reasonable for six people. To top it off, my wife forgot her purse and Frank tracked us down on Facebook to make sure we knew he was holding it for us. We'll be back for sure! read more

Authentic Arabic food!! High quality, amazing taste, a little pricey but soooo worth it and portions are huge so definitely would recommend!! read more

Best place I have been in PA. I recommend this restaurant to all family and friends. I am not from the area but every time I travel to Philadelphia I must come to this restaurant. The food is wonderful and great service. read more

Hadramout you are truly magnificent, I had a wonderful experience here yesterday. The place is very chic & clean. I was advised to try their Saltah, which was fantastic, but all other menu items were excellent too. The awesome people working there are extremely attentive and helpful. Definitely recommend! Would return for sure! read more

Absolute hidden gem in West Philly. One of our new favorite spots due to incredible food, charming atmosphere, and remarkably friendly owner who takes a real interest in making sure you enjoy your experience. They have managed to make a small store front restaurant feel like a world far far away. Hanging curtains delicately separate each table. Each dish is better than the last. We always start with the fassolia, which comes with the giant bread. For entrees, it is hard to move past the lamb fahsah, which comes boiling in it's own cauldron and is simply delicious. Hot tea and soup are one dollar each. But better than all of this is the kindness and attentiveness of the people who serve you. The owner makes sure to visit with you and is available to explain any questions about the food, while everyone else bends over backwards. Just wonderful people and wonderful food. We are blessed this is on our neighborhood! read more

Restaurants like this are one of the prime reasons we love living in Philadelphia. Just one year old, Hadramout provides a unique dining and cultural experience. Our party of five had a blast sharing several chicken and lamb entrees. The lamb dish in the clay pot was the standout, followed closely by the amazing bean appetizer. As others have said the house bread is special and ample. The Yemeni tea is very special and should not be missed. One word of caution...though maybe not absolutely prohibited, alcohol is clearly not part of the experience here. Every single diner had either water or tea. So have your drink beforehand, and do not miss some of the best food you will find in Philly. read more

Best food ever! authentic Yemeni food and the service is brilliant. went for lunch - everything we ordered from appetizers to main course to the complimentary tea at the end - brilliant! would highly recommend read more

I was really excited to get some chicken here, I got a grilled chicken and it was basically flavorless and kind of dry. My wife got the fish and it was similar. The rice and bread that came were good - and these were all huge portions. But really you need some seasoning and there was none read more

Loved the authentic food. We ordered grill chicken and fish which were amazing. The bread was freshly baked. Great service too

Disgraceful food. I hope the owner of this place is a fiery Mediterranean man and I can get into a yelling match with him to tell him how I feel. My gyro was insulting and had 8 cubes of burnt chicken and was almost entirely rice. The French fries were soggy, and cold and pretty pathetic. I vow to talk poorly about Hadramout until the day I die. My children will know and loathe the name. read more

Have tried most of the menu and everything is delicious. I especially like the kebabs. Service is top notch as well.

Small place that's easy to miss, but food is amazing. The Fahsah and lamb haneeth have been my go-to.

I've been to this establishment several times! Hands down, this is some of the best food that I've ever taste in my life. The food is great, staff is great, and ambiance is great! The homemade bread is the best I've ever taste and the Yemeni tea has a very distinct, yet inviting taste. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

The food here is so great!! Everything we ordered was delicious. The place was so homey and everyone who works there is so nice. I highly highly recommend. read more

Absolutely tremendous. The food is REALLY good, and superb value for money. The menu is quite small, but everything sounded great. I had the baked fish, which was really tasty. I had not eaten Yemeni food before - for my $0.02, it is somewhere between Lebanese and Indian. The vibe is laid back, and the service excellent. This is a real gem - if you are anywhere near West Philly, definitely worth seeking out. read more

This place is turning my head back to Arabic food . I love the fahsa masob and looking forward to try more stuff. Great job

I live right down the street and I rarely see anyone in here, but that really needs to change. I was drawn by the reviews here and it definitely lived up to expectations. I got the Lamb Haneeth, which was super tender and flavorful, and I made sure not to miss a single morsel hiding between the bones. It came with this spicy salsa-esque dip on the side that was really delicious (and very very hot!) and really added a lot of flavor to the rice that came with it. The waiter was a really nice person and the food came out very quickly. I've never had Yemeni food before this, but it definitely made me a fan. read more

Great interesting food at very reasonable prices. Only Yemeni restaurant in Philly. Charming very friendly host. Be sure to ask him for his recommendations. read more

I had the Famsah, which was amazing. A hot stew with lamb that was super tender. I think it was the vest meal I've eaten in several years. Perfect for a cold winter day. The decor was cozy, too, with couch-benches and armchairs for those of us who wanted to kick back and relax. We'll definitely be back. Kid friendly. read more

OVERCHARGED! The bill was higher than the menu prices and then they insisted the menu prices were "wrong." With such logic, you could be charged anything, so beware. If it weren't for this on principle, it would get 5 stars. The fahsah is very delicious! read more

Cannot emphasize how authentic my experience was at this place. The waitress was very patient with us since it was the first time having Yemeni food. I would highly recommend ordering a lamb and a chicken dish and splitting it with 3 people since portions are huge amd intended for family style dining. We tried the fahsah and whole grilled chicken. Interior decorations are fantastic as well! read more

Excellent food, love the bread and bean dishes. Good to excellent choices for veg and non-veg entrees

The lamb fahsah is quite possibly the greatest piece of meat I had ever eaten. The price was affordable, the portions are very generous and their delivery someone manages to keep the lamb nice and hot even in the dead of February winter. read more

Absolutely delicious food! This place is always consistent with their quality of food. Highly recommend. You need to try the bread and lamb soup. read more

Their bread is phenomenal. Long cooked lamb and the liver dish are also insane.

Hadramout is one of my three favorite restaurants in the city. It feels like home to me. From the delicious ful to the amazing rounds of steaming bread, to the tender lamb haneeth, to the rich molokhia chicken, or the fish mofa I have always been impressed and delighted when I've eaten here. Hussein offers detail and attention to his food that treats his dishes (and his customers) as sacred. I took a friend from Jordan here and he has eaten Yemeni food all over the world including in Yemen, he said Hadramout had the best Yemeni food outside of Yemen. Go, you won't be disappointed! read more

Nice Yemeni food Staff is friendly and professional Interior is clean Close to local mosque Nice place to bring family as well read more

The spot is small but holds lots of flavor . The lamb Mandi is amazing . The meat is so tender that it falls off of the bones with no hesitation . Owner is very friendly and great customer service ! read more

I loved everything in this place the workers are so welcoming especially Hussain he's the best. The food is great and cheap. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. read more

Hadramout - Halal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is a real neighborhood gem. The lamb was tender, the bread was delicious, and the soup was hearty.

Superb, based on one delivery. Grilled chicken especially tasty. Though my credentials for judging "authenticity" are arguable, this resto is the most authentic middle eastern restaurant in Philly, comparable to Manakeesh, with a different menu ostensibly Yemeni. read more

The servers are very friendly and we haven't had a bad dish yet - and we've had every lamb dish they make! Lots of gluten free stuff too!

This is probably my favorite spot in West Philly now! Quaint and cute spot tucked away in West Philly with some fantastic yemeni fare. Ordered the Fasah and the Haneeth (lamb dishes) and it was fantastic! The meat was cooked to perfection ! If you're in the area you got to check this place out. The food is phenomenal. read more

I really wanted to love this place, so much so that I'm going to give it another chance. This review is more of a caution, I suppose, towards what I ordered, which I feel was my mistake. The restaurant was pretty busy and apparently a lot of the regular staff was out, so the service was great considering. I went with a friend and our food came out really late so the manager brought us several things on the house which went a long way with me. The sambosas were delicious, and paired well with the spicy house relish. The rice was a nice lightly flavored basmati. The grilled fish entree was also really good, but not mine so I only had a few bites. It was tender and nicely flavored, but very boney. The salad was basically a rough tabbouleh, not my cup of tea, but very fresh and rustic. The grilled chicken and the famous bread were the sore spots of the evening for me. My chicken was charred, and all I could taste was the burntness. The inside was very juicy and tender, but I'm a skin girl. I want that flavor, and this didn't have that. I doused it in lemon juice, salt, and spicy relish but that burnt flavor prevailed. The bread was also underwhelming, not exactly burnt but definitely overdone and there was no real flavor. I think it could've used a nice slathering of butter or something. Next time, I will try the lamb stew or something else. read more
