“ I recently had the new menu of trying a slow-cooked mutton mandi (HANEETH), and it was a true delight. The meat was incredibly tender, falling apart with each bite, and infused with rich, aromatic spices. ”

“ After a long day at uni, Mataam Al Mandi was just what I needed! Rocked up at 3 pm for what ended up being a massive feast (basically brekkie for me, haha). The food was absolutely incredible—huge portions, full of flavour, and just so satisfying. The lamb was the real MVP—fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with spices that hit the spot. The chicken was good too, but honestly, the lamb is where it’s at! The rice, sides, and sauces tied everything together perfectly. The staff were super friendly, and the vibe of the place is really chill. Whether you’re with mates or just looking to treat yourself, this spot is a must-try. You definitely get your money’s worth! Cheers, Mataam Al Mandi—can’t wait to come back! ”

“ I came with 3 kids for dinner tonight and we got the family table. Eating with the kids tonight was so mess but Simran staff from the cashier helping us cleaning the mess very quick so we could enjoy our food. Sometime the simple gesture like this brings huge meaning for me as a mom. Thanks for the amazing food & good staff! ”
