The Good Stuff
Fast Delivery
Local delivery can be impressively quick: one Furjan customer said the doorbell rang exactly 15 minutes after the call.
Generous Portions
Portions are often described as generous, with one delivery order containing an unusually large quantity of meat and arriving hot and well packed.
Family Seating
The majlis-style seating adds a traditional touch for diners who enjoy a simple Yemeni setting rather than a polished formal restaurant.
Meal Accompaniments
A chicken mandi order was served with soup, salad and tomato sauce, giving the plate more than just meat and rice.
What to Eat at SIRWAH MANDI & MAZBI RESTAURANT How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For SIRWAH MANDI & MAZBI RESTAURANT, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Chicken madhbi Net −1
“Ordered a full plate madhfoon for 60 along with a chicken madhbi. Meat in madhfoon was super dry, not fresh and seemed like it was cooked yesterday and they just microwaved it and served. The portion size for the price was absolutely not worth it. Chicken was overcooked and dry too. They serve half the portion size that other restaurants do for the full price. If you're looking for authentic "YEMENI" mandi/madhfoon - THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE PLACE. Indian version of mandi? Sure”

Tips for a Better Visit
Call Ahead. Call before visiting or ordering if you have a specific meal in mind; one reviewer said popular meals can sell out.
Avoid Peak Hours. For a less congested dine-in experience, consider going outside peak hours, when the small seating area is easier to manage.
Check Kunafa. If ordering kunafa, confirm that it includes the filling; a reviewer twice received dough without cream or cheese.

Common Concerns
Inconsistent Quality
Recent reviews are sharply divided, with some diners reporting that the mandi’s taste and overall quality had dropped.
Cramped Seating
The family seating area can feel congested, especially when the restaurant is busy.
Delivery Delays
Although some deliveries are exceptionally fast, another customer reported a lost driver, poor coordination and a significant delay.
Rice Concerns
Rice quality is a recurring weak point in some reviews, including complaints that it tasted old or lacked flavour.
Kunafa Issue
One repeat customer said their kunafa arrived as dough without the expected cream or cheese on two occasions.
Customer-reported prices
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Sirwah Mandi & Mazbi Restaurant is a straightforward Yemeni spot in Al Furjan where you can eat in a majlis-style setting or order dishes such as mutton mandi, chicken mandi, meat madfoon and madhbi for delivery. The strongest reviews focus on tender meat, fragrant or well-cooked rice, generous portions and hot food arriving quickly. There are some particularly good value signals in the older reviews: one diner reported half mandhi for 15 dirhams, while another said a mutton haned costing AED 80 fed two or three people.
A chicken mandi was also described as coming with soup, salad and tomato sauce. These are customer-reported prices, not a current menu. The experience is not completely consistent.
Recent diners have described dry meat, bland or old-tasting rice, and a noticeable drop in quality, while others still call the mandi fresh and excellent. The dining room is small and can feel cramped or hot, with ventilation and air-conditioning complaints. Delivery can be either impressively fast or significantly delayed, so confirm the dish and timing when ordering.
Kunafa also deserves a quick check, since one customer received dough without cream or cheese.
