Reviews
"I visited Mandina kitchen for lunch and ordered the lamb Mandi and the lamb mugalgal. The lamb Mandi was delicious, tender and flavorful, but I was disappointed by the lamb mugalgal, which was dry and bland. The service was friendly and fast, but the parking was a bit difficult to find. Overall, I had a mixed experience at Mandina kitchen and I would only recommend the lamb Mandi to others."
"I tried the lamb mandi and the lamb haneeth and both were great but the meat in the haneeth was on another level, it’s cooked to perfection it almost melts in your mouth. The rice was alright in both, it was cooked well but slightly cold. The server was quick and attentive and I liked the traditional, homey vibe of the interior."
"Nice Yemeni Authentic restaurant, nice atmosphere and good customer service. We have chiken and Lamb mandi, comes with little soup, Lamb was little bit dry, taste was good, won't say great. Overall happy with everything."
"The restaurant is nice but we ordered the sizzling mandi and was told after 20 minutes that it can’t be served. Several other food items in the menu were not available and we had no choice but to go for lamb & chicken mandi. Maybe hiring more staff will help with better service."
"Food was yum, the lamb was juicy and delicious. Kunafa did not had enough sweetness, so it was a NO for me. Place is beautifully set,"
