The Bottom Line
Hadramout Spices&Yemen Coffee is a Yemeni-focused spice shop in Hor Al Anz, worth considering if you are looking for Yemeni coffee, a Mandi spice mix, halwa or Arabic spices. Reviews also point to honey, nuts, herbs, dates and dry fruits, so it works well for stocking up rather than buying just one seasoning. The shop’s traditional interior and strong spice aroma are part of the appeal.
Customers describe colourful, well-arranged displays, and one visitor appreciated receiving a patient explanation of different blends and brewing methods. The ground coffee is singled out as tasty, while another shopper was delighted to find Yemen coffee and pistachios. Service feedback is mixed.
Several reviews call the staff friendly, cooperative and helpful, but an English-speaking visitor felt ignored when asking about soaps and said there was little effort to assist in English. Another review requests more courteous treatment toward female customers. If you do not speak Arabic, keep questions simple or bring help if product guidance matters.
Check prices carefully before paying: one customer alleged that some shoppers are quoted double or triple the original price. Parking is another practical weakness, with a review reporting limited spaces in the busy area, although an older review mentions dedicated rear parking. Cash and card payments are reportedly accepted.
