No words can describe how good their food is.. Love the Arab style segregated areas for families and tables for the people who dont want to sit on the floor.

This has been my third time at this restaurant and the food never disappoints me. This time I ordered Chicken Mandi half platter along with yakhni. This half platter is enough for 2-3 persons. The taste is absolutely authentic and the chicken Mandi was very tender and well cooked with the right balance of spices. Highly recommended.

The taste and environment is good.. however they didnt completed the ordered menu till the end. The staff isnt professional in serving. I think this is an overall issue in the twin cities. They should hire the staff trained in Lahore

Overall it was not a bad experience of visiting this place for Mandi. It was less spicy according to our taste buds.I tried chicken Mandi. Food portion was acceptable served with tomato and mint sauce.

Nice menu of different types Arabian rice and meat. I would recommend those who has been to Arab countries. Cuz Pakistani rice has different taste than the Arab countries have.

Excellent Mandi dishes available. Actually, I was surprised to find this Restaurant. Entire menu is served in a traditional Arab style. Taste is par excellence. I think this guy has been running some restaurant somewhere in the Middle East for a long time before he relocated here in Rawalpindi. Enjoy real Mandi here.

Review №16

Good quality and tasty food and indeed Arabic taste as we experienced in Saudi Arabia when went for Hajj and Umra.There is no Roti / Naans served with food. It offers different meat base items served with rice. Quite tasty and less spicy at reasonable rates...Has separate family enclosure.However, found only one washroom both for ladies and gents and that too not maintained well... An area for quick improvement.

Really good place near Bahria Town Rawalpindi. Opens at 12:00pm with crowd for takeaway but do make deliveries to Saddar Rawalpindi. Lots of Rice for double serving as shown in pic with food piece of mutton. More than enough for two people so really good value for money. Loved the taste and the serving style in clay pot for takeaway. This place can fulfil craving for Arabic food. Thumbs up.

Mandi tasted average. Rice tasted too bland so did steam mutton and chicken. Service was average too. I think one should find a better place to eat mandi.

One of the tastiest places in Pakistan even thought its Arab food , its for all you meat lovers. The meat is so tender it comes of the bone smoothly . Highly recommend the mix platter its around 4000rs and has a full lamb shoulder in it . Good for 3-4 people

Food is good, person who took our order was m Amir and he he was good. However there was another Afghan boy, that boy has some attitude and had zero when it comes customer service. I am glad Amir intervened and took our order instead of him.Rest food and ambience was good.

Review №25

On recommendation of my friend I just tried it today. Parking is at your risk in general area I could not find valet parking option. Staff was welcoming and guided from in-gate to the table. Apart from tables tastefully managed floor sitting was in small beautiful cabins is also available with carpet and pillows. 8 to 10 type of traditional arabic platters are available. Price is mid ranged neither too costly nor too cheap. Environment is neat and clean, good for family outings and friends treat.Food was traditional arabic style, I also enjoyed their salad which contains rich ingredients. Rice was not much spicy which were giving good taste with BBQ. Variety of BBQ option was available including fish, chicken and others meats. BBQ is served with tomato chatni which also contains chilli as well and it improves the taste of their meals. Variety of hot and cold beverages are also available.I personally recommend to try for once, hopefully you will enjoy it.

I went to Yumto and really enjoyed the mandi, but i had a really terrible experience at BaitAl Arab Mandi . My friend was visiting from abroad and i wanted to take him some place special. I even told the floor manager that I have special guests. even then the rice that was served was cold, mutton was tasteless, the chicken was somewhat ok. however, still not the moneys worth. would never visit it again. i would advise that u visit Yumto on PWD road instead of this place.

Food is good, food will get 7 out of 10, but unprofessional ambiance. Cash only restaurant in 2020 is pretty surprising. Parking is not enough. Mandi is ok, but meat to rice ratio is not good.

The mouthwatering Chicken Mabdi (please note that Mandi and Mabdi are two different things) was placed in front of us. I couldnt resist and ate beyond hunger. Good thing is that it’s a light food and you won’t feel heavy after the meal.Not recommended for spice lovers, as the Arabic food is prepared without typical Indo-Pak spices, and is therefore very healthy.I loved the food and ambiance. Do give it a try!

We were coming back from Giga mall after doing some groceries. Were hungry and it was getting a little late. On our way back my wife suggested that we should try their Mandi, and man it was a good suggestions.We didnt take any photos(were hungry), so nothing to show, but we tried their Mandi with mix barbeque. The setup is family friendly, the staff is extremely courteous, and the food is very delicious. I particularly loved their beef kababs and grilled mutton. The rice were also good, well cooked and they had used good quality basmati. The cost is also reasonable, not cheap but reasonable. It cost us a little more than 4k and we were 4 adults and 2 kids. All of us were hungry and left the restaurant satiated.4 stars coz I have tried better places and would not be just to put them in that league otherwise there is nothing I can point out as negative. A few things where they can improve are: The space feels a little congested(They have compartments for families and large families or groups will find it difficult to fit in, they do have outdoor setting as well and might be able to arrange something for you). The washrooms were not very clean. The food options are limited to Mandi only.

Its the best mandi in Pakistan, if you are looking for authentic mandi that tastes like the one available in Arab, you must go for it and prices are reasonable too. Presentation is awesome too.

Review №86

Authentic Bait Al Mandi taste. Mandi rice is well cooked and present authentic taste. Presentation is excellent and quantity is good. We have tried Chicken Mandi and Mazbi, both were good. I suggest you try both if you are trying first time. Mandi is chicken grilled on machine and Mazbi is chicken Bar B Q. I am yet to try Mutton Mandi from them but Mutton Mandi in general always taste rich as compared to Chicken Mandi. They also have Mix Bar B Q. (Mashawi Mushakil) on Mandi Rice and Lamb Fish Mandi. Mandi range is excellent. They take a bit time to deliver if you go for take away due to no. of customers but you may order and come back in 20 min to get your order. The Tamato sauce which usually comes with Mandi is good in quantity and they have made it a bit more spicy than one in arab world which makes sense to balance our taste in Asia in case we feel it too no spicy. We have tried Kunafa which is 7 out of 10 but still is worth eating if you eat it while fresh and hot. I believe they should add up more cream to make it perfect but still its good. Sitting area is excellent.
