Hadramout Restaurant is located on the third floor of the New Honghui Wholesale Market, in the heart of Xiaobei — Guangzhou's most famous Arab and African district. The restaurant carries the name of Yemen's historic Hadramout region, serving authentic halal Yemeni cuisine at reasonable prices, drawing a diverse mix of Arab and African visitors who come to the area daily for trade and shopping. The restaurant is especially known for two main dishes of traditional Yemeni cuisine: Kabsa Lahm, made with basmati rice and carefully seasoned lamb, and Mandi, cooked the traditional way in a tandoor-style oven until the meat slowly tenderizes and takes on its distinctive smoky flavor. Alongside these two main dishes, the menu includes a variety of salads like fresh fattoush, a selection of rich creamy dips, and grilled meats and fowl prepared Yemeni style. One of the restaurant's distinctive touches is complimentary spicy lentil soup served with every meal, an authentic Yemeni custom reflecting the spirit of Arab hospitality. The staff, mostly Chinese Hui Muslims, are known for their friendly treatment of visitors from various nationalities, while two large screens broadcast Arabic news channels like Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, giving the place a familiar atmosphere that makes visitors feel as if they are in an Arab majlis far from home. The restaurant can seat around 200 people, making it a practical choice for large groups or families, a rarity among the small restaurants scattered throughout the area. Its location inside Honghui Market makes it an ideal stop for Gulf merchants spending long hours negotiating and shopping within the market itself or neighboring markets. For a traveler new to Guangzhou, Hadramout Restaurant represents one of the best options for experiencing authentic Yemeni flavor at reasonable prices, especially since it is a short walk from Xiaobei Metro Station itself. It is worth trying the Mandi as a primary choice, and arriving relatively early to avoid the peak-hour crowds favored by merchants residing in the area.
