What to Avoid (4)

Food 4

Chicken madhabi Net −1

“The next 2 times I have ordered chicken madhbi one time and next ordered mandi , both came to me like not fresh and heated and still cold from inside , you can tell if the meat cooked fresh or just kept to be cold for many hours then heated for you .”
Kunafa Net −1

“Mandi was excellent. Kunafa was ok, the syrup was very insufficient, less sweetness - may be diluted syrup. I'll recommend Mandi to anyone and avoid having kunafa here.”
Paratha Net −1

“When eating we (luckily!) found two staples in the paratha. Fortunately I had looked at what I was eating, but had I had my eyes glued to the tv or in conversation, it could have easily been missed and I could have eaten it. Please be mindful of using staplers for packing food in the future. Very disappointing and didn’t make the experience of eating the food very enjoyable as I had to literally pull everything apart!”
حنيذ lamb meat Net −1

“We were 2, ordered “حنيذ" lamb meat, and we were going to order another plate but the waiter said it is very big and the meat amount is huge, so we settled for it. The meat we got was mostly bone and very very little meat, and the taste was goodish.”

Share portions. Consider sharing a mandi: one review says the rice and meat can be enough for two people.

The Bottom Line

Mandi Restaurant Jamar Wa Hajar is a Yemeni restaurant in Al Barsha that suits diners looking for generous mandi, haneeth and madhbi plates. Reviews repeatedly highlight tender lamb, fragrant rice, hot bread and a complimentary mutton soup or shorba. The Lamb Haneeth Rib, Chicken Madhbai and Chicken Haneeth are among the clearest dishes to consider, while Mandi Ribs have also been recommended by diners who asked for guidance.

Portions are often large enough to share, and the setting gives you several ways to dine: comfortable majlis seating, carpeted-floor dining, indoor tables and outdoor seating for cooler evenings. Parking opposite was mentioned as a convenience, and the restaurant is also within walking distance of Mall of the Emirates according to one review. Delivery has received praise for fresh food and neat, well-arranged boxes.

The experience is not perfectly consistent. One diner waited 45 minutes after asking several times, while another reported mandi and chicken madhbi arriving cold inside. A few reviews also found haneeth cuts too bony, and a takeaway order reportedly contained staples in a paratha.

Kunafa drew one specific complaint about diluted or insufficient syrup, so the savoury dishes remain the safer focus.
