Mandi Cafe & Grill

First time ordering from Mandi Cafe & Grill and I was pleasantly surprised! The portions were generous and the value was excellent. The rice was fragrant and flavorful without being too oily. The chicken over rice with white and hot sauce had great balance and depth of flavor. The stewed lamb dish was rich, aromatic, and incredibly satisfying. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. I’ll definitely be ordering again!

One of the best Mandi’s I have had in Houston and it felt so close to home. I’m from Bahrain and literally came back from vacation last month. We had so much mandi in our trip and even in Saudi Arabia. But this place took me back home! Even the service was exceptional apart from the fact that it takes a while to cook the food but we don’t mind the wait because the food is that delicious. The meat is so moist (both lamb and chicken) and the rice is so flavorful. The taste is very authentic. Moreover, Ms. Zahra is so sweet and so welcoming. We would 100% recommend this restaurant and It’s a must try!

If you are looking for authentic Yemeni Mandi in Houston, look no further. This place is a true gem. The food was absolutely incredible—the meat was tender and the rice was perfectly spiced—but what really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It is a family-run business and you can truly feel the warmth in their hospitality. We were lucky enough to have a really special experience where the chef herself came out to serve us and chat. While I know that might not happen every time, it speaks volumes about the pride they take in their food. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic flavor and amazing service! We have been there a few times. We have had Goat Mandi (1/2 Tray), Lamb Haneeth, 4 pc Mandi Mix (Goat), Chicken Mandi, Full Chicken Mandi and Philly Cheese Sandwich. I'd stic

Absolutely incredible food. The chicken biryani/zurbian was the standout. One of the best biryanis I’ve had. The service was so amazing and the owners are great people. Also, has a very nice atmosphere to the restaurant. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable as well. Their lamb Mandi is also to die for. One of the very few proper Yemeni restaurants in Houston. Definitely coming back and highly recommend to anyone looking to try something flavorful and unique.

We recently had Mandi Cafe & Grill cater our event, and they exceeded every expectation. Huge thanks to Ali for the incredible service! The food was the highlight of the evening—exceptionally flavorful, fresh, and presented with a level of care that really stood out to our guests. It’s rare to find catering that maintains such high quality at scale. They have officially earned a permanent spot on my 'Top Recommendations' list. Highly recommended for anyone looking to impress their guests!
