REVIEWS

quote I have been coming here for more than 7 years. Talal is the owner and I can confidently say that he is the most humble, down to earth, sweet, kind and respectful person I have ever come across. I have tried chicken mandi and lamb mandi, both with sultanas (raisins). You could get nuts as well with sultanas but its up to you. Both cost $1 each. Talal’s lamb mandi is world’s best. Its delicious, mouth-watering, flavourful, yummy and exquisite. The rice tastes so good that every bite is an emotion. Meat is so tender that it comes right off bone easily. Chillies, potato chips and onions are sprinkled on top of the meal. Meals are served with 2 sauces as well (very tasty). Only take aways are allowed these days but you won’t regret visiting. There is normally a wait of about 15-20 minutes but you can always place an order over the phone before arriving. Helen is Talal’s support system. She is lovely, lively, energetic, vibrant, and her warm personality is magical. Overall this place is by far the best middle eastern food. Only two dishes are served (lamb/chicken mandi and jordanian mansaf). I have never tried mansaf but I have heard that it is also very tasty. I always get lamb mandi with sultanas for myself. Its a complete meal and I love it. Talal and Helen are the great of all times (tom and jerry in real life)🤣 Both are good at heart and lovely human beings. ❤️❤️❤️

quote Been to this place in the noon, parking was available. 4/5 stars! I was thoroughly impressed with the lamb mandi from this restaurant but they only provide take out and dine in option would be really helpful as your food gets cold and unexciting if you come from a long distance. We ate it in the car on our way home. The lamb was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, and the rice was fluffy and perfectly seasoned. The flavors were rich and delicious, with a subtle spice that added depth without overpowering the dish. They top it with noodles, they don't add any taste to the dish but they might just be an aesthetic addition. My only criticism was that the salt level was a bit lower than I would have liked, which prevented the flavors from truly popping. However, the welcoming and friendly service made up for this small shortcoming. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal - just be sure to ask for extra salt if you need it! Their tomato sauce is delicious and you might want to mention that you want dry fruit and sultana for a little extra price, but they would be totally worth it.

quote I'd heard great things about their Mandi, but unfortunately, the experience wasn't what I expected when I had to take it home. In the winter, food gets cold quickly, and the lamb fat hardens, making it less enjoyable to eat. I think Mandi is truly best enjoyed hot and fresh. The noodles on top were a unique touch, but I'm sure they don’t paired well with the lamb flavour. Perhaps offering a traditional Mandi without noodles would be an option

quote Lamb Mandi is a winner!!! My husband and I were so happy with how fresh and warm the food was. The sauces were also nice. We will come back and try the Chicken Mandi next time. Highly Recommended!!!
