Wardah Restaurant is Jeju's first Yemeni restaurant, opened on November 7, 2018 by Korean owner Ha Min-kyung in Jeju City's Samdo-dong old quarter, with Yemeni asylum-seekers cooking the menu. It quickly became a beloved landmark for Muslim travellers visiting the island and a meaningful workplace for Jeju's Yemeni refugee community. Yemeni chefs prepare the entire menu halal — slow-roasted lamb kabsa, chicken agdah pulled apart over saffron rice, charcoal-grilled kebab, falafel, hummus, and house-baked flatbread. A small on-site prayer room makes it one of very few Muslim-friendly Jeju restaurants where guests can also pray. Open noon to 10pm with a 4–5pm break, closed Sundays. Walking distance from Bagdad and the Dongmun Traditional Market.
