If you're looking to embark on a culinary journey to the heart of Yemen without leaving Kuala Lumpur, look no further than Taj Hadramawt Restaurant. Nestled in the bustling area of Taman Persekutuan, this gem specializes in authentic Yemeni cuisine, making it a must-visit for food lovers and traditional fare enthusiasts alike.

Upon entering, you are greeted by an inviting atmosphere filled with the tantalizing aromas of spices and grilled meats. The restaurant exudes a warmth that’s perfect for family gatherings, casual lunches, or cozy dinners. As you browse their extensive menu displayed prominently near the entrance, you’ll find a delightful array of dishes that entice the senses.

The highlight of your dining experience should undoubtedly include their signature dish, the Lamb Haneeth, known for its generous portion and succulent flavor which leaves customers raving. For those craving a classic, the Lamb Kebab served either on its own or in a sandwich is grilled to perfection, complemented by golden crispy French fries. If you're in the mood for something exotic, the Shish Tawooq mixed platter allows you to savor a medley of grilled meats, splendidly marinated and deeply aromatic with spices.

For my first time here, I love the foods they offer on their menu because all they have are Arabian dishes. The restaurant was crowded, good food, I believe, when I entered the restaurant. Before entering, you can also look at their massive menu beside the entrance door. Probably selling their best dishes? The main dish that I ordered the main dish is Lamb Haneeth. It's a huge portion; the good thing is that I can finish it. Then, Arayes Lamb, a friend's dish, was also huge, and yes, they tasted delicious. Then comes my desserts, hummus. It tastes as good as it is. Also basbousah, my first try and it was awesomely delicious. Oh yes, cream caramel is also a great dessert. I never tried Aradi milk tea before, and hey, it was so good and different from Malaysian milk tea. There is more to the tea instead to the milk. So yeah, I believe most of their dishes taste unique and great meals if you want to eat a vast portio; the best time is breaking your fast or brunch time. Parking... this is a bit tricky, you might have to come before their peak hours or else try your luck to find a parking at the area.

ordered chicken khabsa, lamb khabsa, grape rice and adani tea. taste was amazing. great portion for the quarter chicken khabsa, my 2 kids can share the rice. saltah and the soup for khabsah rice were very flavorful. adani tea pot was a bit sweet and less herbs taste. the service is super efficient. really recommends this arab restaurant to those who have not tried.

One of the best Yemeni delicious food I've tasted so far. Mandy lamb was very tasty, so is the lamb kebab. Hummus very freshly made and the bread was nice too. All the food goes nicely with Barbican drinks too price wise is not that bad. Quality of the food was overall, I love this place and will visit again with my wife.

Taj Hadramawt Taman Melati has been our family’s favourite spot for lunch or dinner since 2014! We’ve tried so many places over the years, but we always end up coming back here. The lamb madghout is seriously to die for — super tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The tea is also amazing, especially when it’s freshly made. The service is always friendly and fast, and the staff really make you feel welcome. One thing we really love is how they celebrate birthdays — they’ll sing, clap, and even whistles! It’s such a fun and cheerful atmosphere every single time. We’ve had so many celebrations here, it’s become our little family tradition. They also have a surau, which is convenient for prayers before/after eating. Just a small note — the ladies’ prayer area could use a bit of improvement, but other than that, everything else is great. Highly recommend this place if you want good food, warm vibes, and memories that last!
