Hadramiah - Multi Cusine Restaurant مطعم الحضرمية اليمني - مليجاواتا — Restaurant in Colombo

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hadramiah Multi Cuisine restaurant, and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm and inviting, greeted us with wonderful fragrance, setting the perfect mood for a delightful meal. The restaurant has two floors, with tables arranged on the first floor, while guests can dine on the second floor. It’s a spotless, well-built place that truly fulfills customer satisfaction. The space can accommodate more than 100 diners across both floors at once. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome immediately, ensuring that all our needs were taken care of throughout our visit.

Now, onto the food - rather delicious! We ordered Majboos and Mandi biriyani with BBQ chicken family packs which were suggested by one of our friends. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The portion was good but could have been more generous for the price. In fact, the attention to detail in the preparation was evident. The Mandi biriyani was a highlight for me, cooked to perfection with a wonderful balance of seasoning. We didn't catch the taste of Majboos well but it was nice to try. BBQ chicken was so yummy and well cooked. We were served the dishes with Raita and some other sauces. One large potion of luscious watalappan offered free with the family pack.

What really impressed me was the variety on the menu, catering to different tastes without compromising on quality. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, making it an ideal spot for a casual meal or a special occasion. Overall it exceeded all our expectations, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience. We’ll definitely be back soon to taste the other dishes.❤️

Card payments are available.

Hadramiah is one of my all-time favorite spots for mandi rice, along with its sister restaurant, Hadramout.

The ambiance is warm and inviting, with seating available on the first floor featuring tables and chairs.

The second floor offers a unique dining experience with private cabins in an Arab-style setting, where you can sit on the floor and enjoy your meal in privacy—a great option for families, friends, or couples.

The restaurant has been thoughtfully designed, with a strong focus on privacy and a beautiful Arab-inspired atmosphere.

However, weekends can be quite busy, with longer wait times for tables or cabins due to the high demand. Despite this, they offer delivery, catering, and sawan service for larger groups.

No matter how many times I visit, I never tire of their BBQ Chicken Mandi Rice—my all-time favorite. Their Mandi rice is truly exceptional, and it would likely be the same for anyone who tries it. They also offer a Mixed Rice option, which includes Mandi, Majboos, and Nasi, beautifully divided on a large sawan. My second favorite dish is their Nasi.

As for starters, the Butter Naan and Butter Chicken are always on point. They also offer a wide variety of drinks, with my favorite being the Mint and Lime drink.

Having tasted authentic Mandi rice in Dubai, I can confidently say that Hadramiah’s Mandi stands out. While it's made to suit Sri Lankan tastes, the quality and flavor are top-notch, thanks to their magic ingredients.

Though the wait time can be long, it’s absolutely worth it for the quality of the food. There is plenty of street parking available as well.

Highly...

We went for a dinner Last night here, We were very curious about their menu and food, then we ordered Majboos rice with beef, chicken pasta and Sea food fried noodles. Majboos was tasty and the portion was enough for two people. Let me come to the worst part - Sea food fried noodles. You know what they have served under this menu ???? It was Maggie noodles with few pieces of fish fries. Price was 1,800/-. We were very disappointed with this. It was too childish food. Couldn’t see any sea food or other vegetables rather than carrots. We called the manager and complained about it, he said thank you for our feedback rather than giving us a solution ! Since he did not give us any solution we asked the waiter to not to add this dish in our bill. They were not ready to do it or give any other solutions for the complaint we made. They were very money minded and searching for the possibilities to get the whole bill amount only. Instead of arguing with them we have just paid the total bill amount and left the place. We have visited many restaurants, when a customer made a complaint they should try to give a solution to maintain the customer satisfaction. I don’t think they are much keen about the customer satisfaction. The dish was not worth for 1,800/- , even can’t pay more than 500/- for that particular bill. Our bill was 5000/-+ If you are trying to visit them, please don’t try any other food, you can try only their rice . I have attached our bill photo and the Maggie what we got. Also please be careful when you climb their stairs, it was...
