Amazing authentic Yemeni food! 🇾🇪 The Mandi was delicious, the flavors were incredible, & the service was warm & welcoming. A must-try in Montreal! Highly recommended!
The restaurant was clean, the service was friendly & attentive, & the food was freshly prepared. We ordered the Mazbi with red & smoked rice, Mandi, & bamia. Every dish was delicious & packed with flavor-every bite was enjoyable. For dessert, we had the banana fata with cream & honey, along with traditional Yemeni tea. Everything was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend this restaurant & will definitely be coming back.

Visited Montreal from Toronto, Ontario, & had the chance to try Mazbi Restaurant. First of all, the customer service was amazing. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, & very knowledgeable about their food, ingredients, & flavours. They took the time to explain everything properly & made sure we were ordering dishes that matched our taste preferences, which made the experience feel very personal & genuine.
You can really tell this is a hardworking, family-owned restaurant that takes pride in serving authentic Yemeni food. We tried several items from the menu, including the broth, chicken mandi, chicken mazbi, lamb mazbi, & a couple of other dishes whose names I can't quite remember & everything was full of flavour, fresh, & comforting.
Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Authentic food, generous hospitality, & a warm atmosphere. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're in Montreal & want real Yemeni cuisine.
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.

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!
