Not real mandi flavor + there is no breast with chicken mandi meal .... not that bad but not great i don't know i felt weird there
Tried their chicken Mandi and lamb haneeth. Both the dishes ended up being almost the same but different with meat. The flavor of the rice was good but the meat could have used some more spices. Huge quantity of servings. Good service. Entrance of the restaurant is not welcoming as it shares the main entrance with a smoke shop and as soon as you enter the kitchen is the first thing you see followed by seatings. Also not in the best neighborhood so be cautious about your car and belongings.
We went for dinner and the food was served fairly quickly.
It was reheated grilled meats and rice. Not quite made to order.
Nevertheless the meats were good and worth a repeat visit.
The serving size was high on meat and low on rice; typically a great combination but the presentation left impression of scarcity.
The ambiance is decent given that the location seems to have been some bar that’s been updated for a family friendly place.
It’s great for the type of clientele but they should try harder. The rooms don’t close and the tables don’t quite match the width of the seating area leading to some members with a leaning dining experience.
I wasn’t able to try their deserts but their Yemeni tea was great.
Definitely a repeat visit…preferably during daytime.
Second visit to this restaurant, the chicken mandi was great and the lamb haneth was perfectly cooked! The food is really delicious and tasty! Service is great, they have different options of seating and a big parking lot! Highly recommended!
If you want some real authentic Yemeni experience, this is the spot. The fish is a must try. The liver plate is exceptional.
Some dishes they run out towards end of day. It's all fresh so expect some wait for the food when busy. They also just opened.
