We had the mixed Mathlotha which came on a bed of bread and jareesh with rice. Portion was big, we could share it between 2 adults and a child. Both the chicken and lamb was very well cooked and fall off the bone! Well prepared and spiced! The host was pleasant and we were well taken care of. Will definitely be coming back to try their other main dishes!!

Great food. Highly recommend the hanith if you a meat lover. Tender and juicy. The person at the counter is very friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for authentic mandi, this is the place

The food and service is amazing! The staff was very friendly, and food came out fresh, hot, and quick. We had the chicken Mandi and the mix plate Madhbi with yellow rice. Most recommended! Will come back again!

Best spot for the fast and delicious lunch or dinner. Food was served hot and quick within 5 minutes of ordering. They have a very interesting collection of drinks only Arabic though. Plus the fragnance of the bakhoor just after stepping inside of store gives a very middle eastern vibes. Soniya and sanjay were very welcoming and mr. Mark was very professional . Overall great experience.

I recently had the chance to dine at Mandi Afandi with a group of 9 adults and 5 kids, and it was a fantastic experience! We tried their platters, including the chicken mandi and haneedh. The **chicken mandi platter** was a hit—tender chicken and flavorful rice in generous portions, perfect for sharing. The **haneedh** was the star, with melt-in-your-mouth meat and rich spices that everyone loved. For dessert, we tried the **cheese kunafa**, but it was just average. The flavor didn’t quite stand out, so I’d rate it 2/5. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming, making it a great spot for group dining. I highly recommend Mandi Afandi for its delicious platters, and I’ll definitely be back!

I was craving Arabic cuisine and decided to try this place since it's close to where I live. I'm so glad I did! The food was delicious, and my kids loved it too. The staff was incredibly helpful with the menu and even made me a custom lamb plate so I could try various lamb dishes. Their friendliness and attentive service made our experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great Arabic food!

We had an incredible first-time experience at this restaurant, thanks to our amazing server, Nadia. She made us feel right at home with her warm hospitality and attention to detail. The ambiance was cozy and traditional, the food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. We got the mixed platter kunafa and salad. Despite a little background noise, Nadia ensured we enjoyed our meal in peace. She truly made our visit special, and we hope she gets the recognition she deserves!

The restaurant name doesn't justify the food. It's nowhere close to real Mandi. My wife grew up in Saudi (KSA), according to her it's max 2/5. I didn't dislike it that much but it was hardly okay for Mandi. The service was quite nice. They also provide welcome date (fruit) and ghawa (Arabian coffee).
