    Mandeev's dining area and service counter

    Our first time experiencing Yemeni cuisine and we enjoyed ourselves very much! The restaurant is small, only about 7 tables, so you need to be lucky or patient, but the staff is warm and welcoming, and it's good to see families there and folks of all ages. The restaurant also does a solid takeout biz. We chose a variety of dishes to try: falafel & hummus, baba ghanoush, fattoush, okra stew, lamb mandi, mushakel khothar, and their homemade tandoori-baked flatbread. This latter - with their excellent baba ghanoush drizzled with a peppery olive oil - was outstanding. I could eat this all day (and night!). So tasty with an irresistible smokiness! The lamb mandi was a lamb shank, very tender, and the basmati rice pilaf was subtle and mild. It came with a piquant garlicky and vinegary condiment that added the right amount of kick. The fattoush was also very flavorful and colorful. The okra stew and mushakel khothar (a vegetable stew) were mildly seasoned and unctuous. The falafel had a very crunchy outside but was a little bland for our taste as was their hummus. Overall an enjoyable and pleasant meal ... but that tandoor bread -wow!

    Lamb Kabsa

    Rating: 4.5 Came to try this newer middle eastern restaurant for dinner. Wanted to give it a try as it looked promising and there aren't many authentic middle eastern restaurants in RI. Parkings are available. Inside is on the smaller side and only has few seatings. Luckily it was not too busy and was few middle eastern customers which seemed to be regulars. We sat down and looked at the menu. I ordered lemon and mint juice and lamb kabsa. Tried ordering mango juice but was not available at the time. Lemon and mint juice was refreshing. Sort of like lemon slushy with mint. Lamb kabsa was excellent. Large piece of lamb meat that falls right off the bone and spiced rice with great savory flavor from the lamb that must have been cooked together. There was also side of tomato base sauce which brings some acidity to the fatty meat and makes it refreshing. The service was good overall. They did seem to offer tea or coffee as self serve but didn't realize until after finished eating. Overall the place was very good and may be my new favorite go to spot for authentic middle eastern food. Price is on higher side but not too bad comparatively to other place. I would go back to try out their other menu.

    Chicken Mandi

    AMAZING food, cozy interior. We got the chicken mandi, lamb mandi, and okra stew. All were amazing but the lamb was the most juicy. Service could have been a bit faster but we were still in and out in an hour. Would definitely come back. The complimentary tea at the end was a nice touch :)

    I enjoyed my experience! This is a new location of only a couple months that provides indoor seating and a total of 5 seating tables, and take out services. Their menu is limited but very solid and delicious. I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was very soft and well seasoned chicken with rice under, lettuce shreds and dressing. My partner had a lamb dish and it was phenomenal! The meat fell from the bone very easily and was flavorful. Not a lot of places can do lamb well, much less a fall off the bone dish! Lamb was obviously cooked for the proper time, and for a couple of hours. We were served mint lemonade juice and it was very refreshing. The staff was attentive and prompt so the service, and it was observed that they are on top of cleaning! Tables and linens were changed, and a peak in the kitchen was seen to be clean! The entrance is wheelchair accessible. I throughly enjoyed and recommended this new spot to others to try it out!

    Don't sleep on this spot!!! We stopped in on a Sunday evening after my husband found it on Google. Staff was super friendly and kind! Prices were good for portions. We started with hummus and their house made bread and it was such a good choice. Followed it up with the lamb kabsa and chicken Mandi. The lamb was cooked so perfectly and both dishes had such flavorful good flavor. They had house made tea too for everyone to try and we loved it! Would totally recommend this spot to check it out. I know we'll go back to try new items off the menu!

    Mushakal Vegetable Stew with fresh tandoor bread

    fab Yemeni halal food hits rhode island! came on eid day and had a table for us reserved simply by calling same day. super hospitable servers. they were slammed but kept attentive service for us. it was quite warm inside in this heat wave so needs better air conditioning. the interior design is sweet and minimalist, and reminds me of someone's new home. we got the Mushakal veggie stew as a starter even though it's an entree so we could try that fire bread. each of us got a different platter. i got the lamb haneeth and it was fall off the bone lamb! generous portions for the price. friends got lemon mint and fries to enjoy. it inspired me to think about yemeni fusion like what would a tandoor lamb mandi sandwich wrap look like or what would a flatbread with chicken mandi, cheese, and parsley taste like? i am excited to see how their menu fares over time.

The art on the walls are also a great touch as well as the sitting area with backgammon available to play. I also love the food and drinks they have in the grocery section. I do wish they had more selections to choose from though. In terms of more options of Russian/Armenian food like deli meat, dairy products, smoked fish, fruits/veggies, candy, cookies, juice... The prices here are steep, it's a big reason as to why I don't shop here often. It's a shame because I would love to support an Armenian business.

The staff is warm & engaging. My go-to is the supreme gyro: perfectly seasoned gyro meat, juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, red onions, feta cheese & banana peppers topped with creamy tzatziki sauce & wrapped in warm Greek flatbread. Every bite is the perfect mix of savory, tangy & fresh. You can really tell the ingredients are high quality & prepared with love! They also have a wonderful specialty market filled with great spices, specialty ingredients & unique items you won't always find elsewhere. Be sure to try the halva - they carry it in several different flavors & it is yummi & unique. The baklava is also outstanding. Both are the perfect sweet treat to take home after an amazing meal!

I couldn't finish the whole thing but was close lol - chicken shawarma wrap: very tender and flavorful chicken. This was also a very big wrap! My husband was able to finish it all and was stuffed. - falafel pieces: nice flavor and crispy - fries : these were super crispy and soft on the inside. The flavor was delish! Service: There was only one person working there and handling everything when we were there. He did a good job handling everything. Ambiance: It's a cute small spot. A couple of tables to sit down at but it's set up more for a takeout. There's some cool middle eastern decor in there as well. Overall, we would go back again.

This is actually a small mom &…read morepop shop with a few basic items used to cook Middle Eastern foods, serving a few prepared items, such as kibbeh, tabouleh, spinach pies, flat bread topped with zaatar, and milk pudding dessert. I was hoping to find a complete renovation from the previous business it replaced but, alas, the only thing that changed is the name and a few added items in their prepared food section. The new owners have recently immigrated to the US, so the woman who assisted me had challenges communicating with me in English. Luckily, she had a translator on her phone that translated the list of food on my text message into Arabic writing . I think these people are VERY BRAVE for starting over in a far away land. In the grocery section I bought a jar of pickled turnips for the chicken pita wraps I make at home. (Trader Joe's now sells toum, or garlic sauce, traditionally used as a condiment in Lebanon similar to garlicky mayonnaise. You can use meat from rotisserie chicken available at most local grocery stores). They also have fresh lebneh, or strained yogurt. From the prepared foods section, I highly recommend their kibbeh (if you like lamb; my hubby thought it was good) and their slow cooked chicken with Syrian rice pilaf, which is an authentic Syrian regional home cooked meal. This was delicious and the portion was perfect for the price. I also liked their milk pudding cups, though I wish the portion was larger. If you decide to try the cheese or spinach pies, you might need to baked it in the oven a while longer as they were undercooked. My four stars is for the slow-cooked chicken with rice pilaf and the milk pudding, which I will come back for. Hopefully, we will see some renovations in the future since it still looks shabby as it did before this business took over
