Food was very delicious, flavorful,and portion was huge. We ordered the lamb and chicken family plater. The portion was meant for 2to 3 people,but but 4 people could easily eat it. Atmosphere is great so is the service. food was served very quickly.

THIS PLACE IS so so yummy! My boyfriend and I stopped by after seeing the amazing reviews and every dish was so beautifully rich and flavorful. The rice is so deep and a slight citrus taste! The chicken and beef dishes were both so tender and delicious! The Naan bread was definitely so yummy and a favorite for us. The portions are HUGE and generous and everything is fairly priced! We will definitely be returning. Staff was friendly but the wait can sometimes be 20ish minutes, even with the restaurant being a bit empty at the time. Plenty of seating + very spacious.

Amazing food and service. Can’t wait to come back! Will be back next time we go to K1 Circuit from LA. Highly recommend! Also, manager mentioned everything is organic and they only use extra virgin olive oil. 5 stars!!!!!

I don’t throw this term around lightly, this is the best Yemeni food you are ever going to have. I’ve had a lot of Yemeni food across the country and none come close to Mandi Xpress in Riverside.
The lamb and chicken mandi (huge piece of perfectly cooked lamb, half a juicy chicken on a bed of flavorful rice) for $40 simply cannot be beat. I’d say this is worth it to go out of your way, solely to come to riverside for just to eat here. The lamb is fall of the bone, packed with flavor. The chicken is moist, seasoned well as well. The plate is absolutely massive, nothing is overly salty, dry or under seasoned it is simply as good as you can get.
The additional sides like their hummus, babaganoosh and tabouleh are also exceptional. And the sauces really bring everything together.
All of this is also complimented by their exceptionally nice staff, in particular the kind lady at the cash register. I am already planning on my next visit here, I promise if you go you will not be disappointed.
The location is also super convenient right next to the hike, city center, etc. I cannot say enough good things about the food and experience here!

Went here with friends on a Saturday around 2:40pm. Not too busy. Service was friendly, but took about 35 mins for my fries, Spicy Potato Xpress Appetizer. I was expecting something more filling with that name. Didn’t know it was simply fries. They were good and spicy. Just didn’t think it was worth that wait. Also it was about $10. The Mango Juice was good. Tasted like mango lassi.
They were out of some of their vegetarian options unfortunately. Maybe they were short staffed, but I’d try this place again. The ambiance is relaxing, not too busy, not too noisy.
• Spicy Potato Appetizer: 4/5, you’ll need more food than this. Basically just French fries with seasoning, spices.
• Mango Juice: 4/5, thicker like mango lassi, pretty sweet.

Love this place! The food was delicious! Everything tasted so authentic and full of rich, homemade flavor. The staff was super friendly, and you can tell it’s a small, family-owned spot that takes pride in what they serve.
If you’ve never tried Yemeni food, this is the perfect place to start — and if you have, you’ll appreciate how authentic it is. Definitely worth checking out!

Delicious newly discovered Mediterranean food. Ordered the mixed Grill Mandi Family platter. Chicken & meat were tender, Kefta yummy, rice well cooked and everything was well seasoned. 100% worth the money. Will be back and totally recommend

This was some of the best food of my life and the service was amazing. The owner came out to ask us about how our experience was and explained that all the food is organic sourced. 10/10 cannot recommend enough.

I came to try Yemeni-style lamb mandi, but the dish served was much closer to an Indian or biryani-style preparation.
The rice was heavily yellow and spiced, with raw onions, raisins (!!), and nuts, and the lamb was dry.
The customer service was also extremely slow and unbothered to answer questions, which compounded the experience.
I have had excellent, authentic Yemeni mandi at WeHo’s House of Mandi, which set a clear high benchmark for Yemeni cuisine. This location did not align with that expectation.
Clearer description of the food style and improved service would help set expectations appropriately.
Will not be visiting again.

One of the best Yemeni food I’ve ever had. Very immersive culture experience. Coming from a Middle Eastern culture, this place represents a genuine Yemeni culture. Above all, the welcoming attitude from the host Um Amer and Abu El-Ez was above and beyond. It speaks volumes of their hospitality and kindness. I had the honor to meet the owners. It made total sense where the staff got their generosity. Definitely coming with friends who would go crazy about such an experience.
