Bringing the rich culinary heritage of Yemen to Singapore, Hadramawt Kitchen opened at 304 Lavender Street, specializing in authentic Yemeni and broader Middle Eastern Arabic cuisines. Named after the historic Hadramawt region in Yemen, known for its distinctive architectural style and rich cultural traditions, the restaurant serves as a cultural ambassador, introducing Singaporeans to the aromatic rice dishes and slow-cooked meats that define Yemeni hospitality.
The menu showcases signature Yemeni preparations, particularly their Mandhi and Kabsah rice dishes. Mandhi features fluffy, fragrant basmati rice cooked with aromatic spices, served with tender lamb shank that falls effortlessly off the bone after hours of slow cooking. The Kabsah offers similar comfort with its own spice blend that reflects regional variations in Arabian cooking. The crispy cheese sambusa - with its golden exterior giving way to molten cheese filling - has become a particular favourite, described by diners as truly addictive.
Operating daily from 12pm to 10pm and easily accessible from Lavender MRT, this 100% halal establishment accommodates groups of up to 40 people in its intimate space, making it ideal for family gatherings and celebrations. With island-wide delivery covering areas from Jurong to Tampines and outdoor event catering services, Hadramawt Kitchen makes authentic Yemeni cuisine accessible across Singapore.
