It was enjoyable change from the Pakistani cuisine , the ambiance was Middle East , floor seating.The main dish rice with lamb meat was excellent with the both sauces of tomatoes and mint. They have extend the traditional dish to diffident meats of chicken .The service is excellent very friendly and helpful , the price is higher side. The best part of the dinner was the dessert , fresh from oven Kunafa .

We liked it even better than chicken biryani because the meat was juicier and more satisfying, constituting the perfect, Arabian delicacy.Non spicy foods ..kids love it

Staff was bit sleepy, Taste was Just Okay. Bit Costly as compared to taste and services. A friend who came from Dubai, was not impressed at all.Just Need to Improve service and taste, however the location and Setup is Good, And Cleaning is very good. Good for families.

A visit to a food place consists of a series of experiences, which collectively make up the whole impression. In this case:1) Parking -- The restaurant is on the main road, and while the parking spaces are few, at the time we went, there wasnt any problem in finding a space upfront. The staff in the parking was also quite helpful, both when we arrived, and when we left.2) We didnt have to wait at all to get a table, or in our case a separate room with floor seating. This is rare, but a pleasant experience. The place was neat and clean.3) The wait staff arrived immediately, while the Maitre took out order. He was pretty effective and interested, made recommendations, and was pretty accurate in how much time it would take to bring the food.4) The Yakhni served before dinner was nice, and the main course arrived quickly in a nice quantity. The food was fresh and the taste was good.5) During the meal, the Wait Staff kept checking on us, and fulfilling any needs. Good experience from that aspect.6) The bill was a bit on the high side, but reasonable compared to others.Overall, a nice experience.

Review №15

Prices gone high while quality of food degraded alot less than minimum acceptance. Collecting 16% tax in cash to mislead customers and Govt. Not giving option to pay through card and pay 5% tax by law.

Review №16

Overly expensive for no specific reason, its supposed to be Arabic (either UAE or KSA) taste but unfortunately its just named as مندي. I think they dont even know what is a mandi or how its made. Pishawer rice are called here Mndi rice, just imagine...

Bait Al Mandi a restaurant provides an Arabic touch. Food is a bit overpriced as compared to the usual but is really delicious. I have added the images of menu and sitting area for you guys to have an idea.You must try their kunafa, it is really awesome. Bait al Mandi is one of the only two place that sell kunafa in Lahore.

I always enjoy their food. One of the best Mandis that I have eaten. Good value for money. The way they cook is really good because it makes the meat tendor and soft and juicy. The rice tasye really good too. Highly recommended.The clear soup that they give as an appetizer is good too.

*BAIT AL MANDI*So, finally we tried that Arabian Chicken Mandi and that amazing Hummas In mandi the chicken part was really good but the were a bit tasteless and average in taste,The sitting space were so good, specially the cabins where we sit and eat on floor just like an arabian trend.. Ambiance was good and the best part of that lunch was that Hummas, it was so tasty and the breads were also very good with that.Rate wise it was a bit expensive, according to the quantity of single dish but overall it was a good experience!

Review №37

Place Ambaice was Okay. Room lights were very dim. Food taste was OK. Presentation was good. Staff needs to be more trained. There were 20%off on credit cards but manager said they dont accept cards so why there is discount on cards if they dont accept cards. Restroom hygiene can be improved. Parking is available.

Had a terrible experience with this place as we first ordered Lamb Mandi and the smell of meat was terrible and according to the management, it was the smell of lamb to which I was not satisfied.Got it replaced with Chicken Mandi and even it was not so impressive. May be we still need to get out of the Local Sajjis taste to enjoy this.

It was delicious and yummy. Price is little high but quantity and taste both are good. Because I lived in Saudia Arabia, so according to me taste was very same like I usually ate in Saudia Arabia. They also serve other Saudi Cuisine dishes. But they dont serve Chicken Madghod which is also a delicious dish. Anyway, must give a try to this restaurant.

An amazing Arabian Dine-Out. MUST TRY!○Great food. Amazing customer management. Great aura and aesthetics. Car parking. Literally on the highway, off the over-bridge opp. UCP.●May be overbooked, then service starts lacking. Menu items are sometimes unavailable. Your order may be lacking (you might end up asking for a sauce, or some more rice.)

Review №92

Not a good experience.I had Chicken Mandi and taste was not even close to real mandi. I bet for the people who have had real mandi would reject their taste instantly. Sela rice was served with tons of oil.Complimentary soup was not served and other manu items were not available.Worst of all, Crockery was dirty. I suggest they should use steel plates instead of silver.If you want to have taste of Bait al mandi of UAE, trust me its not the right place.Anyway, staff was well behaved and cooperative.
