Mindi House in Birmingham

Very tasty food meat was so juicy and tender loved it staff was amazing excellent service thanks guys

Horrible food and small cramped dirty shop.

Excellent food and service. Great value. Not the nicest looking of places but great service and value food.

Brilliant Mandi, we shared a 2 person Mandi House platter with rice, pasta, chicken, lamb and shawarma. The portion was bigger than we expected, super tender meat and a brilliant green (mint?) dip on the side. Staff were lovely and gave us a space to pray too. 10/10. Thanks for the fresh orange juice too!

My friend recommended this restaurant however the food was not that much expected. Customer service was too bad and disappointed. 🥲

They have improved the rice compared to before. The lamb is nice however th portions are not generous especially if you order more than one portion on the same plate they tend to give small portions. Therefore, the only way to make sure they don't undercut you order separately if you are on a group or else they will not add enough lamb mandi

The quality of the lamb was satisfactory, however, the quantity and quality of the rice were lacking. The service provided was below standard, with the staff displaying a rude demeanor and requesting that we vacate our seats to accommodate other patrons. Additionally, they only accept cash payments, which is not clearly displayed until after the food is ordered.

Just normal food nothing authentic. Each Yemeni Restaurant that I have went to in Manchester and Birmingham have served soup as a starter for free. They charge for it. We ordered the Lamb Mandi, Mix grill with rice and lamb fahasah. The mandi rice was cold and tasteless, the fahasah was bland and the kebabs in mix grill very chewy. Definitely not worth a visit.

Delicious Food. The Mandi Rice was so good. Both Mutton and Chicken charcoal was cooked to perfection and worth the money.

Great taste for Mandi with good portions for price.

this place is one of the dirtiest places ever because Saleh hammam 🚽 ate there

I bought Chicken Mindi. Taste was good. But Chicken was very small, it might be smaller than baby Chicken, very disappointing. They renewate the restaurant, looks good much better than before. Bit expensive ££. Eat-in available. Deficult to find parking nearby.

Absolutely amazing taste! Did not think I would get such authentic tasting mandi in UK. The sitting area is also super comfortable with booths that are relatively private. Overall, it was a lovely experience!

The most amazing and tasty mandi that we ever eat!!! Delicious

Really very very very tasty! We ate there with two families! It went very quickly despite a lot of customers, and it simply tasted very good! Every cent or penny was worth it!!! If you are nearby you should try it!!!

Polite, helpful and responsive staff. Quick service and amazing food. We ordered the charcoal and platter for two. Generous portions, fresh tasty food. What's there not to like.A++

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. We ordered the platter for 3 and it came after 3 minutes. Food was not fresh and we knew it was from the day before. It was tasteless and the quality did not reflect the price of £28 at all! Rice tasted like sand for some reason and everything was cold. No one could continue eating as we felt sick. We spoke to the owner and he was getting angry and talking aggressively. They only accept cash and when we asked how come there's a card machine there he said there's no electricity?? Place very unhygienic and claustrophobic. Never coming back again and recommend people to avoid this place. Not real mandi at all. EDIT: Thank God it's shut as it's under maintenance now🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Drove more than an hour just to find out this place was closed ( don’t trust the timing on google maps) lol

Is the best mandi in Birmingham

Food taste is so delicious. A good portion. They just need to care about hygiene standards

Really enjoyed the platter which is served here. Highly highly recommended

Disgusting...its 3rd time in a row, food no good at all....never again....ordered set meal for 5...but no taste,,very few meat pieces with hard rice to chew,, quality gone down the hill. In the past few month ago, it was fantastic. But now after todays meal, I don't think I will visit this place again ever....

We love this place so much that travelled 230 miles just to have their mandi!

It was a good place, the food was really nice. We enjoyed chicken Mandi.

Seated straight away. Lamb mandi was amazing! Not a lush place with tight booths but food is on point 👌🏼

The most beautiful and delicious Arabic meals

Ordered chicken mandi. The chicken was as small as a bird. It was shocking. The price keeps on increasing and the chicken keeps on shrinking. As for meat, I agree with other comments, it is full with bones. You don't try to make profit this way, especially in a place full of other restaurants. Use little bit of common sense. I am not going there anymore. Small chicken being sold for £10 while looking at the size, I doubt it cost them £2 per piece 🤔 This is for the owner, in Arabic, hoping that he might read it, if he bothers The size of the Mandi chicken that you sell is smaller than the size of a bird. The cost of chickens of this size does not exceed 2 pounds each, and you sell the chicken for ten pounds, meaning that the profit rate is approximately 400 percent. Use your mind to solve this problem that you have put yourself in, and remember that a restaurant without customers is not... It means anything

Ordered a lamb Mandi rice and collected it personally . The person serving was very miserable and put three pieces of lamb which consisted of mostly bone and lamb fat , hardly any lamb !. The rice and salad was fresh and ok . I have ordered of them before and there is a world of difference what they serve now.There has been a dramatic deterioration in quality . Sadly it’s all about maximising profit over quality . The meat was not fit for it to be served for consumption . Very disappointed !

One of the best somali restaurant to go to. We got the platter for two and was quite filling. Lamb was well cooked 💯. I would definitely recommend to try. Only think was the half chicken was a bit dry Anyone looking for hijama contact @AfterHoursCupping

The worst mandi restaurant in Birmingham with bad service and dirty rooms the carpet and it's not a Yemeni restaurant that specializes in Mandi's long background use to be Yemenis. The worst food and meat test wearable and the chicken not mandi trying to be Mandin restaurant. I asked them to clean the room, but they responded everyone was satisfied with the situation. It doesn't make things worse. Bad food and service. It's not what you're picturing.

The worst mandi restaurant in Birmingham with bad service and dirty rooms the carpet and it's not Yemeni restaurant that specialist in in Mandi's long background to be Yemenis. The worst food and meat test wearable and the chicken not mandi trying to be Mandi restaurant. Please don't confuse people change name to Mandi

Excellent food as taste and quality is consistent. Probably best mandi in Birmingham.

I recently visited Mandi House for a taste of mandi. The lamb pieces were well-cooked and tender. The chicken pieces were also juicy and flavorful. Overall, Mandi House provides an authentic, satisfying mandi experience. I would suggest getting the naan bread instead of the rice to better complement the flavorful meats. I would recommend it to anyone seeking to try this Middle Eastern cuisine. Just be prepared for the small space and limited parking.

They provide one of the best Mandies in the Area, food portion is great for the price you pay, there is a good variety of Tea and Coffee and a typical Middle Eastern Environment, you'd enjoy it if you have been to the Gulf States

Excellent Yemeni food, great service and a kind smile. Guys, there are places for families مكان ولا اروع وطعم لايوصف ماشاءالله والأجمل يوجد غرف للعائلات

Mandi well well well. First time food was decent. 2nd time round not so much. Think it was ready as i placed the order and 2 minutes after that they brought the order. Interesting. They have private dining area for familys which is covered. Place could do with a refurb. They have a card machine upon request. Toilets are in a dire state. And tissue comes off a roll at the till. If you want the back home kind of feel you need to visit this place. Not to mention parking is an absolute nightmare in that area. So leave enough time to find parking...

Used to be a nice place standard has dropped big time .. Was better days back .

Someone I know took me there, but staff was rude, food wasn't tasty and atmosphere was awful

The food was very good nice and tender mea with good flavour. The service was excellent and they also have private sections so you can take your wife and she can eat more comfortably. Also the price is very reasonable Alhamdulillah. I would definitely recommend, May Allah put Barak in this restaurant business.

Dodgy way to serve and sell food. Absolutely Dodgy shortcuts to customers honestly ordering food. Too small portion all foods, greedy way to make money. Rude staff.

Plates were so old and not looks hygienic. Service was not great at all, need to go to the counter again and again. Food doesn't seems great (personally opininion). Quantity is good.

Not much to look at is this place, but it's a quality eatery. Great food, big portions, quick service and it tastes so good. Highly recommended. Good variety of options, nice staff. You must eat here.

Came with family, seated straight away. Private booths are a little tight, service was amazing. Food was delicious, nice and fresh. Prices are very reasonable.

Very good Lamb Mandi & wonderful staff

The staff can not speak a word of English and rude no manners at all the food was cold and chicken uncooked

Really bad food they gave me food poisoning I felt sick 5 times after eating their food I wouldn't advise eating here at all they served me food two minutes after waiting and the rice felt really out dated and the meat was dry. A good mandi takes a good while to make fresh and the meat is boiled and steamed fresh these guys don't know what mandi really is. I seriously wouldn't advise eating here at all. I had a really bad experience eating here I would advise that nobody eats here for your own health and safety. I know what a good mandi is after eating it in dubai countless times these guys haven't a clue what mandi is and just serve you anything that is left over from the last night. Seriously bad food take my advise and stay away from this place.

Ordered Lamb Mandi, it was lovely, goood taste and generous portion. Friendly staff and nice service. Thank you

I loved the quality of lamb the used in their dishes. Highly recommended. You can park at Morrison for upto 3 hours free and walk here.

Accept cash only.. No parking.. Good food but quantity not enough..

The staff are very bad mannered and miserable. It really does put you off.

Authentic middle eastern food, good prices, quick service.

سيئ جداً ، ولما دخلت عندو هيئة الصحة كانو موجودين ، لا انصح به ابداً ، ومستغرب من التقييم المرتفع

Authentic Yemeni Cuisine is a culinary treasure trove. Their traditional Yemeni dishes are a symphony of flavors and spices that tantalize the taste buds. From the tender and aromatic lamb mandi to the rich and creamy honeycomb bread, every dish is a celebration of Yemeni culinary heritage. A must-try for food enthusiasts seeking an authentic Yemeni experience.

Have been buying platters over the past few years from Mandi house and have thoroughly enjoyed them with family and friends, but sadly lately i was disappointed. Meat had a very strong smell and so did the sheesh kebabs they were not edible, and family said same, something has changed less seasoning perhaps?? Rice, noodles and chicken were good.

Happiness in a meal. Nothing fancy. Just pure taste and deliciousness! Love it

Lovely Yemen food , excellent customer service and food very reasonably price food.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect Arabian food taste. Excellent customer service and reasonable price Must try

Food was nice Meat portion was small with some fat

The best restraint in Uk i recommend any crave eat Arabic food this restraint worth it and if you chosen to eat in this restaurant you should know you chosen the best option of the rest restaurants which you wanted

One of the best Arabic food in Midlands. Know people travelling from Preston to eat here.

Lovely place and politely staff.

Platter wasn't bad but lacked salt. Service wasn't the best but it was iftar/quite busy. Would give it another try. Good value.

If you want pure Arabic taste of mandi, go there but keep in mind place lacks ambience. Sitting area is good for boys. Families may not like relatively congested place. Staff is good

Staff behaviour is really bad especially the owner, Food is not too bad and the price is affordable.

Food here was amazing. Meat slipped off the bone, flavours were mega, quality would more than beat fine dining food. It is a humble place, which harks back to its humble origins. I highly recommend it!

طعم الاكل سيء واللحم غير مطبوخ جيد وفيه رائحة اشك في اللحم .

Do not go unless u want to get robbed! No doubt food is nice but prices are overly charged and customer service is quite poor staff don't know what they doing. Went to this restaurant as it was quiet (now I know why) and the 1 that i usually go to was busier that day, which is a few shops down from this 1 called samaa this is much better.

Banging food brooooo, Finger lickin chicken gooooooood.

It's below standard taste got different from the last time I've been here, food quality has dropped down.

So delicious, good service and price is amazing. No faults for me. Get the rice and meat 😋

Eventhough the service is fast, the food is below average. Toliets and washing area is horrible.

Tasty and delicious food. Excellent customer service. Mandi rice and lamb superb and mind blowing.

The food was really really nice, اللهم بارك لهم ، ما شاء الله تبارك الرحمن the best thing about it was the private rooms with floor sitting, where you can take your family.

Authentic Yemeni Mandi, very light on stomach and worth it every bite. Good value for money.

Owned by Yemen guys. Food is definitely delicious and tasty. Service is great and atmosphere is a lively. Will go there again soon

Although this place doesn't look like much from the outside this is a great place for Mandi. Seating is abit tight and it's more a place for the boys than families.

Lamb shoulder is highly recommended!

Food very very good, portion size is too small, one of the employees (seems to me he is the owner) is rude to customers. I would come back but with all the other options on coventry road idk, They need to increase portion size

A meal for 4 people nice comfort food. Just tuck in and enjoy.

Place is not the cleanist and seating is horrible. Food was bland only good thing on menu is the Mint tea

This is one of the best restaurants in West Midlands. The food is affordable and delicious.

Food was nice, however the service was very bad, very uncomfortable to the point where I would never return again. Not sure if it was the fact that I was a woman without a hijab or a woman in the first place. But left feeling horrible and uncomfortable. Avoid unless you are a fully covered woman. The workers make you feel as though you killed their family, so rude it’s unbelievable.

We shared 2 dishes between 3 people and its £17 and we had drinks u can't go wrong with price

Amazing place to eat food is always fabulous and yummy

Good arabic foods good services.but some times you have to wait 15 minutes because of full customs an i give 8/10.

Food was not yemeni food and not tasty at all Board is saying yemeni restaurant but its not yemeni food

A really good variety of different dishes they have. However, I did find the meat I got in the mix grill to be more on the chewier side.

Really nice food, great place to go with the whole family. Really friendly staff. Kids loved it, reading it 10/10! So that's a win! We bought a family platter which included rice and an array of meats. One platter was enough for 2 adults and 5 kids.

Nice clean and welcoming.. excellent taste and great value for money. Private rooms for families

يستحق التجربه لحم لذيذ وطازج خوووش مندي

First time here and I loved the food the privacy we had eating was nice. we bought a meal for 2 which was 16.99 and it was more than enough, quick service, lovely staff and we loved the food yes I would come again😍❤️

Best Mandi (Rice + roast) in town. My friends and I drive up from London just to enjoy this meal. The meat just falls off the bone and tastes just out of this world. Top it off with their traditional tea. You wont regret it.

Very disappointed with mandi house the food quality is not the same anymore. I tried the shawarma three times within a few weeks and was very disappointed as it lacks taste and portion is smaller. The meal for 2 platter chicken was not fresh and undercooked. The price charged for the platter should reflect the quality and taste but both non existent. Instead of giving humus they had put mayonnaise with the salad.

Overall a not so pleasing experience from service to cleanliness to food.

Authentic mandi rice. Delicious. Quick service even though non-stop customers come in. The overall cleanliness to be improved. The toilet to be improved a lot. The plastic mat is unsustainable, better not to use it.

Food was Good but quantity is really low

Very friendly staff and every tasty food. Highly recommended.

One of my family's all time favourite places. Even the kids rather go here than any other food establishment

Delicious food. Authentic Yemeni cuisine. Parking available at the retail park close by. Ma'soub was a winner for me as you predominantly get it in Arab countries. Mandi is delicious. Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend..

Dinner , not the exceptional food as before pandemic... smaller portion , less meat in the sharing , few leafs of salad and the hummus watery (now needs to be ordered separate) Shame this was one of my favourite restaurants. Ps. The toilets were disgusting
