House of Mandi - Yemeni Restaurant

Manar/Maha was the best waitress, very attentive, and great customer service. The food was out of this world, ordered the lamb haneeth, tanoor bread, Dubai konafa crepe and mango aryan. Juiciest lamb I’ve ever had, would definitely recommend this.

House of Mandi won't be a 5-Star atmosphere if you're looking for a fancy fine dining place or something like that, but if you want fluffy middle eastern style seating and delicious Yemeni food, it's 5-Stars all day. The dining area here is nice and big, seating is comfortable, and you can sit indoors or out. There was a little confusion because the first server told us to order through the restaurant's website, and the second server said he would take our order at the table. Just be clear that you want to dine in and order at your table when you get seated, and there won't be a problem. A second negative thing was that some cigarette smoke came in from outside, but I'm not going to ding a middle eastern restaurant for a little cigarette smoke; it just is what it is with that. Everything else was pretty perfect. We ordered the Chicken Mandi, Hrada Of Seltah Mixed With Fahsah (lamb and vegetable your if stew in a stone pot), and a combo of babaganoush, hummus, and salad. The dishes came with Yemeni bread that felt like a big soft piece of naan, and this was more than enough for three of us to share. We also got a kettle of tea everyone enjoyed as well. The chicken was fall-off-th

The restaurant is spacious, and the staff were friendly. Portions are generous, and the overall experience was enjoyable. However, compared to other authentic Yemeni restaurants, I found the food to be fairly average. The flavors lacked the depth and authenticity I was expecting, and there is definitely room for improvement. With some refinements to the recipes and seasoning, this place has the potential to be much better.

Very good food and very clean restaurant. I really liked the idea of covering the forks and spoons with napkins—it shows great attention to cleanliness. I visited with my family, and we all enjoyed the food and the excellent service. We ordered Chicken Mandi, Lamb Mandi, and Madhbi, and everything was delicious. A special thanks to Murad for his outstanding service. We will definitely come back again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.2/5 Stars) If you are looking to explore authentic **OC Yemeni** cuisine, **House of Mandi** in Anaheim is a fantastic neighborhood spot that genuinely delivers on traditional flavors! 🇾🇪🍛 The absolute highlight of the meal is their **good meats**. Whether you order the lamb or the chicken, the meat is incredibly tender, perfectly spiced, and literally falls right off the bone. 🍗🥩 It’s cooked to perfection, packed with rich savory flavor, and served over a massive bed of beautifully fragrant, perfectly seasoned rice that absorbs all those delicious juices. 🌾✨ To accompany the main event, they serve up some seriously **tasty sides**. 🥣 The complimentary soup is comforting and robust, warming you up instantly, and their signature hot sauces/salsas add the perfect amount of bright, tangy kick to cut through the richness of the meat. Everything feels very authentic and carefully prepared. 🌶️🍋 The restaurant has a spacious, clean, and welcoming environment with traditional seating options available if you want the full cultural experience. The service is also very friendly and hospitable, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. 🤝🕌 The only minor letdown for us
