Mataam Al Mandi old

Amazing Yemen cuisine. Very generous portions and lovely staff.

Highly unrecommended. Unprofessional staff. Food quality was Pathetic. We were not served what we ordered. Rice were like boiled rice no taste.
If you want good Mandi Go to MATAM AL MANDI (Punchbowl suburb).
They are not good at all

Went to Punchbowl branch on the 24th September 2023.
Few issues
*Chicken was not cooked properly. Meat was tough to tear even with a bite . So unable to finish the meal
* Salad quantity was very leads
* Rice amount was reduced than before
* customer service was poor when informed meat was not cooked properly.
*It was over priced
* Empty Tables were dirty and not been cleaned
Overall experience was poor.
Won’t recommend

This is the best restaurant to have mandi rice for dinner. We ordered grilled chicken, Naan, chicken madfoon and lamb mandi.
I would like to appreciate the service timing, in spite of being so busy the food was on the table within 10 minutes.
I will recommend this to all the meat lovers.

First Mandi I ever had in Australia was here.
Had many times so far with boys, found the best Mandi. They started off with a reasonable prices but now little steep, they also have branches in sydney.

Mostly had Mutton Mandi Madfoon which have a very good taste. Meat is perfectly cooked, very tender. Side condiments which are tomato flavoured sauce and mayo are good with Mandi rice.

Madfoon is recommended (hot🔥)
Mutton Madfoon meal is for 2 people,
We had Lamb shoulder and leg meal several times, perfect for 5 moderate eaters.

They also have lamb shanks separately, can choose to order 5-6 shanks instead a big shoulder or leg in a meal.

Don’t forget to get a free cinnamon tea before you go. Good for Digestion.

Very nice and unique taste … must try once . Mutton/Lamb was very tender… quantity wise it was great for 80$. We had taken 3 people meal and it was more then enough for 3 people. If you are 3 people, request you to go for 2 people meal 🥘.

Mandi is always awesome there. I wish they had a better seating place for families. They have one covered table for families and hijab ladies. Overall it is always a pleasure to have Mandi there. The portion size is generous too and the food is always fresh.

We ordered takeaway (whole leg n rice) from Mataam Al Mandi, Lakemba Branch. Food quality was great. Green sauce was spicy, so be aware before your pour too much. Quantity: 3-4 persons can eat easily.
Environment: it’s a great atmosphere if you dine in there
Staffs: the guy at the counter was continuously speaking in Urdu/Hindi, even though we were saying in English, the whole time. That was a bit challenging for us.
Menu: Don’t get fooled by looking at the photos, specially for the rice. They only serves 1 type of rice. What we saw in the menu board we didn’t get the same rice, when asked they said it is just for photography purposes.
