What to Eat at Tibba Mandi - Aweer 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 Tibba Mandi - Aweer, 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.

Mutton mandi Net +3
“Had authentic Arabian Mutton Mandi at Tibba Restaurant. Mandi has different versions-Mutton, Laham or chicken, it is cooked with moist rice and perfectly cooked tender mutton. The mutton is fully cooked with simple Arabic spices and salt. Then it is cooked with the blend of onion, tomatoes, ginger & garlic and green chilli. Arabian Mutton Mandi is a traditional Yemeni dish and it’s very popular among all the Arab countries. Mandi is considered as healthy meal when compared to our traditional Indian biryani, as they use less oil in the recipe. Thank you Abdur Rahim Ajmal bhai, it was an amazing night and the food was terrific !”

Tips for a Better Visit
Try ribs. Ask for the mutton ribs; several reviews praise them, including one calling them juicy and a must-try.
Ask availability. If you want mutton madhfoon, check before ordering: one diner found it had already sold out.
Choose timing. Plan around busy periods if you want a calmer meal, since the market location can become crowded.
Request family area. For a family meal, ask specifically for the family section and confirm privacy expectations before settling in.
Confirm quantities. Before accepting staff recommendations, confirm the quantity you need; one group reported being pushed toward meals for ten.
Allow time. For takeaway or delivery, build in extra time rather than relying tightly on the stated collection or delivery time.

Common Concerns
Privacy concerns
A family-room review says staff entered the curtained area repeatedly without knocking, undermining the privacy guests expected.
Busy setting
Because it is inside Aweer market, the restaurant can be crowded and noisy rather than relaxed.
Uneven rice
Some diners found the rice dry or lacking flavour, even when the chicken was the stronger part of the meal.
Price concerns
Reviews are mixed on value, with complaints about high prices compared with the location and portion-size concerns for haneeth.
Service delays
Delivery and takeaway reviews describe late orders, a declined order after an hour and long waits for food.

The Bottom Line
Tibba Mandi - Aweer is a Yemeni restaurant in Ras Al Khor where the main draw is traditional mandi and related meat dishes. Reviews repeatedly point to mutton mandi, haniz lamb shoulder, mutton ribs and madfoon, with some diners describing the meat as tender, juicy and full of flavour. Kunafa and the yakhni soup are useful extras to consider, too.
The setting is tied to Aweer market, so expect a practical, busy restaurant rather than a polished fine-dining room. One review says it is not ideal for fine family dine-in, while others mention a separate family section and entrance. That option may help, but a family reviewer also reported staff entering a curtained room without knocking, so privacy is worth confirming when you arrive.
Value and service are less consistent than the food. 5 DHS, while others describe it as expensive or complain about upselling. Rice has occasionally been criticised as dry or under-seasoned.
Delivery feedback ranges from neatly packed, fresh orders to late or declined orders, so allow extra time and check availability for dishes such as mutton madhfoon, which one diner found sold out.
