Best Lamb and Chicken Mandi in Wales 🏴 the drinks are so nice and cold and the meat is so nice and fresh and soft. Never disappoints reminds me of when I’m in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

Absolutely delicious! The lamb Mandi was cooked to perfection—so tender it fell off the bone with just a fork. The rice was fragrant and flavorful, infused with traditional spices and a subtle smokiness that brought everything together beautifully. The portion size was generous, and the balance of meat, rice, and spices was just right. Every bite felt like a comforting taste of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Served with fresh salad and a side of spicy sauce, it was the perfect meal. Definitely one of the best Lamb Mandi dishes I’ve ever had. Highly recommended for anyone who loves bold, traditional flavours

Me and my family had a really good time dining in. Their new branch at albany street offers spacious space and we sat in the majlis. The meat was well cooked, so soft and juicy and rice cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place! Also the staff are so welcoming and top notch service! We ordered lamb mandi

Had such a lovely time and the food is so so good. The one reason why there is one star less is because they had the fizzy drinks the options that are in the boycott. With what’s going on it was disappointing to see that they’re serving Pepsi. And if someone wants a fizzy option that isn’t in the boycott there are no options. But thank you for the lovely food and service. I hope you change the policy on your drinks and not have any in the boycott.

In my opinion, the best mandi in Wales. Great portion sizes and fair prices throughout the menu.
