At Retaj Restaurant & Café, excellence isn’t just a standard—it’s a way of life. At the heart of this vision stands Abdullah Al-Harazi, a master barista and passionate entrepreneur who has dedicated his craft to bringing authentic Yemeni coffee and cuisine to the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina.

His journey as a barista began in the UAE, where he refined his expertise in coffee brewing, mastering both traditional Yemeni coffee techniques and modern specialty coffee methods.
