Hady International Food Restaurant

I ordered something normal some shrimp, collard greens, beans/rice it was the only thing I felt I could eat. My dinner guests had the oxtails and she loved it, the other one had the tomatoes pepper chicken I think. I tried the sauce and it was divine, wished I had ordered that. I one thing I was disappointed in was the choice pieces of chicken. I like white meat and they only had dark. Now I could've eaten drumsticks but was told the chicken is set up for customers to get thighs and drumsticks. Even tho I asked if I could get legs instead I was politely told that I couldn't. I hope that when I visited again I'm able to get what I ask for.

"The food was pretty decent, though the chicken did have quite a bit of oil sitting on top. However, my main concern was with the service. The lady in the back was very pleasant, but I observed an unsettling situation where she added a tip to a customer's card without his consent. He had to wait for someone else to come and refund his money. If you decide to visit this place, I'd recommend using exact cash to avoid any issues."

Peace, good day! This place is A1 second to none. The food, the customer service, and the ambiance is nice. We had eaten here several years ago. We couldn't recall where this place was. Until recently and we were able to get back and enjoy not only the food but the atmosphere and the family environment.

Exceptional customer service, food, and vibes!Hady's is a beautiful restaurant with a warm ambiance. There are handpainted colorful African inspired murals on the walls throughout the entire inside, and plenty of comfy booths and tables for seating. The owner and his staff are very kind, polite, and knowledgeable about the dishes, they will answer any questions you have, so don't be shy about asking for a recommendation or explanation of what something is if you're new to the menu. The food is made with love, cooked with care, made fresh to order and comes out in a timely manner. Do yourself a favor and come with an empty stomach so you can truly enjoy all that Hady's has to offer.My recommendation is the lamb, oxtails, vermicelli, rice and peas with macaroni and cheese. The oxtails are small to medium in size, slow cooked in thick gravy with meat that falls off the bone! The rice and vermicelli are cooked to perfection, fluffy and soft. The macaroni and cheese is seasoned, very cheesy and delicious. They have all your favorite traditional African and Caribbean style beverages, including ginger based and fresh juice options, as well as sodas, and water. Free parking is available in front of the restaurant, 10/10 would recommend & return!

I ordered a jerk chicken entree with collards and plantains. The jerk chicken was not very good. The chicken itself was tough and the spiciness level was way too high. Not to mention that it was drenched in a thick oily sauce. I also ordered the curry chicken with rice and beans and cabbage, while it was better than the jerk I would not order it again. Finally, we ordered the cassava leaves and it was authentic and delicious. Definitely a must have but the white rice seemed old and hard so make sure they get you something fresh.

12/29/2022-This was my first time trying this spot. If you're not familiar with the area you may miss it. It's located within a strip of stores, if not mistaken it's beside a laundromat and barbershop/nail salon. The food wasn't bad but first glance it's looks very oily but it was very flavorful. This was my first time trying egusi (chicken) and fufu. The restaurant was undergoing cosmetic changes and from what I could see it's going to be very nice. They had a couple hand painting the artwork on the wall which was very beautiful along with much talent. The staff is very friendly and didn't mind asking questions for items you are not familiar with. The prices are kind of high but then again you're paying for authentic made to order food. Once I ordered it took about 15 minutes or so to prepare but I was happy it was fresh. The menu offers a wide variety of entrees, appetizers, and drinks. Some of the drinks look freshly made. If I have the taste for egusi I definitely know where to go.

You are hit with smells of deliciousness as soon as you walk into the building. It smelled like walking into someone's kitchen. The front desk person was so pleasant and helpful and assisted me with my selections. I selected Chicken jollof rice, Equisa Soup with goat and fufu, a chicken patty, fish fayata, cabbage and Baobab Juice. Now lets get into this. The standout for me was the fish fayata, I could have eaten 10 of these. Crispy on the outside and full of flavor on the inside. I can't even put into words but it was heavenly. Chicken patty was good, spicy but not outstanding. The jollof rice was just what you expect and the chicken was tender. This was my first time trying Equisa soup so I did not know what to expect but it was tasty. I am excited to go back and try more dishes.

We heard about this place from word of mouth, and it didn't disappoint. We had been looking for African food for a while. We started off with the chicken gizzards, they were good, a td bit salty and tough. Then I ordered the heck wings for my mom, they weren't spicy at all but had a good flavor and it comes with a side, we chose rice. My friend opted for okra soup and pepper soup, while we are accustomed to Liberia African food the okra soup tasted like we were used too. The jollof rice with chicken was different from what I'm used too. I didn't care for the rice itself, but the chicken had great flavor. The restaurant was clean and they had great music playing, service was great, not too fast so you know they are cooking everything fresh. I would definitely go back for the okra soup and fufu.

The food is always delicious! Excellent customer service! I have been coming here since 2021! The owner always comes out to greet his customers. I came here yesterday with my son and his girlfriend. We enjoyed our day and of course the food! The restaurant has a nice ambiance and peaceful atmosphere! I ordered lamb with jollof rice. is so good ! I have tried the hibiscus drink it is so delicious!

African cuisines are unfamiliar to many Westerners but Hady is a great place to start your education. The restaurant can be a little difficult to find if you're not familiar with DTR but it's worth the effort. Our group of 6 was cheerfully accommodated. We started with nam (spring rolls), fried livers, and fried gizzards. The nam looks like Vietnamese spring rolls but do not taste the same. The beef, chicken, and vegetable filling has a peppery tang and unusual (to me) spice profile. I'm still undecided about how I feel about it. No indecision about the liver and gizzards, though. Their thick, crunchy batter is loaded with pepper, curry, and other good things and is absolutely delicious. I'd love to taste chicken fried in that coating. I can't say enough good things about the jollof rice with either chicken or lamb. So flavorful and falling off the bone tender. The red jollof with fish was well liked but not quite as much as the chicken. The table ordered two desserts, the beignets and a banana/coconut pudding. The beignets had a crunchy, lacy texture that could become addictive but were a bit heavy. The pudding was meant to be served with couscous and the combination was a little too unexpected for some of our table. I didn't taste it but I could see it working. Servings are very generous. Plan on taking home leftovers. The service is very friendly and polite. The staff is excellent at explaining unfamiliar menu items and very appreciative of returning customers. There were a few breaks, though, as empty plates weren't cleared and water refills took multiple requests. Still, you know the staff was happy to see you. Atmosphere is very neighborhood casual. There is plenty of parking and if you want to do takeout, it's a short walk to Moore Square.
