Had their beef sambosa, lamb broth & mandi lamb. They were all quite tasty & perfectly seasoned. The lamb was fall off the bone tender, & juicy just like the other reviews have mentioned. It also paired well with the broth (which was mildly gamey so if you're not into that then maybe skip the broth all together 😆) I'd love to come back & try their other dishes, & have their tea again
Best Mandi I've ever had in Montreal. Everything was delicious & the staff are very kind. The mazbi potato is a good side, highly recommend. & you must finish with their chai.

Venus le 22 Janvier 2026
Goûté : le trio de Sambosa (ordre de préférence : fromage, boeuf, végé)
Bouillon Maraq
Fahsa avec riz jaune Mandi Lamb avec riz Rouge
Les deux riz excellents & incroyablement parfumés.
Je recommande le supplément : raisin sec, oignons, amandes dans le riz.
En dessert Kunafa au Sirop incroyable (mais il ne faut pas compter les calories)
Le Fata Biltamer avec Crème & Miel, très copieux, que je recommande donc à partager.
J'ai aussi goûté le boisson fromage lait a la menthe.
Loved the food at Mazbi Restaurant! The Mogalgal beef was super flavorful & perfectly cooked. The mandi & Mazbi were delicious with authentic Yemeni flavors & great portions. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. Highly recommend!
I was really hungry then i decided to come to this place
I ordered mazbi lamb & chicken mandi
Firstly never go with owner's suggestion to eat at amy restaurant
He asked me to take chicken mandi
& for the rice half smoked & half tomato rice
The rice is tasteless & meat & chicken is very very salty you can't eat
I also tried marag soup they added a lot of turmeric powder which changed the taste
I have never seen mandi without mayonnaise or garlic sauce nor any nuts on the top
They served with yogurt & tomato soup
Honestly speaking disgusting taste
Very pricy food with not a good taste
Waste of time & money
Mazbi Restaurant serves some of the best mandi & grilled dishes I've ever had. The rice was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, & the meat was tender, juicy, & delicious. We tried the lamb mandi, chicken mandi, & grilled chicken - all were excellent & full of authentic Arabic taste.
The restaurant was clean, comfortable, & the food came out fresh & hot. The portions were generous & worth the price.
Special thanks to Abdullah for his kind & professional service - he was very friendly & made sure everything was perfect for us.
Highly recommend Mazbi Restaurant to anyone who loves real Middle Eastern food! 🍗🍛🔥

The food was delicious! We tried both the chicken & lamb mandi, & enjoyed both plates. The meat was tender & flavorful, & the rice was perfectly seasoned. Definitely recommend it!
J'ai découvert ce restaurant yéménite à Montréal & ce fut une expérience incroyable ! La bouffe était très très bonne, juste parfaite. C'était ma première fois, mais certainement pas la dernière - je pense déjà à ma prochaine visite.
Le service était écoeurant : un personnel super gentil, attentionné & vraiment soucieux des clients. Le Mandi, le Fahsa, le thé Adani,la soupe… tout était délicieux !
Un vrai voyage culinaire & mon nouveau coup de coeur à Montréal. Je recommande à 100 % à tous ceux qui veulent découvrir des saveurs authentiques & généreuses.
Meilleur restaurant yéménite à Montréal! (C'est aussi le seul, mais bon)
Les samosas étaient superbes (coup de coeur pour celle au fromage), l'agneau mandi fondait littéralement dans la bouche, le riz était bien assaisonné, & que dire du kunafa! Le dessert parfait : de la pâte phylo croustillante, du fromage qui fait un peu couic couic, du sirop sucré... Un sans faute sur le plan culinaire
Service un peu long (surtout pour le dessert), mais bon rapport qualité-prix en général
Tender, good chicken but didn't like the rice not a real mandi rice & no taste of the grilled chicken in it, its seem they cooked it separately not in the same pot & that's not the way of how mandi cooked!, the recipe of rice like ( Bokhari rice not a mandi ), the meat sambosa also not wow missing something.
The portion is good. The food is clean but didn't enjoy it because of the rice.
Really loved the flavor of the Mazbi Lamb it was my favorite. The Mandi chicken was very tender & fell off of the bone. The rice was super flavorful & overall everything was perfect for lunch.
We were two, & our experience was good. We loved the place, the service, & the food. Let's start with the place. It is a simple decor that tried to pulls you to Yemeb & its traditions, with the names of the cities on the wall, the traditional outfits hanged on the walls, & the miniature depictions of buildings & camels Alma round the place. At the entrance, there is a nice Arab looking setting to immerse yourself more in the atmosphere. However, it is for 5-6 people & we were only two. As for the service, the waitress was very welcoming & friendly. She took the time to explain everything to us & was very patient. For the food, we ordered chicken Mandy, which was great. I loved the chicken. I am certain that it was cooked for a long time on low heat as the meat was falling of the bones. We ordered some veggies samosas, but the taste was not strong, as it needed some more seasoning. We also ordered some salad that was alright. The Mandi made for everything especially with some onion & raisin topping. I would definitely recommend trying Mazbi.
Visiting from Toronto, & wanted to try this restaurant. Ordered the lamb mandi & lamb mazbi. Both were really delicious! The owner was very friendly & we had a great conversation about food & Toronto.
