I placed a large order before the restaurant even opened at 11:00 AM, & they handled it perfectly. The food was excellent, & everyone was more than satisfied. I ordered two Mandi meals, two chicken over rice dishes, & a family-sized chicken shawarma. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take a photo-the smell was just too tempting, & we had to dig in right away!

A big thank you to Abu Farouq & the entire team for your great work. You truly made our day!

Dernierement la viande qui vient avec le mandi devient très grasse, presque 60% de gras, c'est la 6ème fois que je vois ça.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying the Lamb Mandi, & it was nothing short of spectacular! The lamb was cooked to perfection-so tender that it practically melted in my mouth. The flavors were rich & delightful, making each bite a true culinary treat. If you're looking for a dish that combines comfort & exquisite taste, I highly recommend trying the Mandi here. You won't be disappointed!
