    My 1st time having Yemeni food. I ordered the Hrada Seltah. Their food is served in generous family style portions. The bread and hummus were fresh and delicious! I was able to try several dishes because I was with friends. My favorite dish was the Hrada of Seltah Vegetables, vegetarian hot pot. The veggies were flavorful and tender. I will return whenever I'm in the area!

    I brought my mom here for her birthday and we had an absolutely great time. It was very nice to be in an Arab setting and feeling almost at home. I requested to play music and they were very happy to put something on for us and the staff was very attentive very welcoming. I absolutely love my experience there. the food we ordered can honestly serve five or even six people. We had left over enough for two more meals. The food was absolutely delicious the lamb Mandi was our favorite. We also ordered some karak chai and it tasted very creamy and very warming. If it's your birthday I'd definitely recommend letting the staff know they put on a very special Egyptian song to celebrate you. This place is an absolute gem

    Great place for yemeni food. The portions are massive good food overall. We ordered the 5 person haneed with lamb and Mandi chicken and also the hrada with shrimpna. Both items were so delicious. The shrimp was cooked so well and it was the favorite dish of the group. The 5 person dish with a fully tender bone in lamb, lamb item and Mandi chicken was so delicious. It came with pilaf that includes raisins and tons for fried garlic and onions. Overall the food was really good. The Arabic coffee was also very good with large hints of cardamom. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable about the items we ordered and answered any questions we had. There is a sit-down without shoes section which adds to the experience. The only downside is they only give you water bottles when you request water.

    TL;DR - get the lalamb haneeth and the mutabbal. You won't regret it and you can thank me later. Karak tea is great. Mandi chicken was already special. Nice spice profiles! This place is an absolute gem!! Everything we had was wonderful. It was like an uncontrolled flavor explosion in my mouth. The karak tea is sweet and with a spice flavor profile that reminds me of Chai. They give you a stick of rock sugar to mix into it Lalamb haneeth. If you like lamb then get this!!! Omg fall off the bone tenderness! Comes with long grain rice and other things but the lamb is the center spotlight here. Id very this every time Mandi chicken with salad. I disnt think chicken cooked in this fashion could be flavorful with many species and be tender and juicy at the same time. The salad was a nice touch but the chicken was absolutely amazing Mutabbal is a smaoked eggplant dip. Comes with its own bread and omg this was just as amazing as the lalamb haneeth but in its own way. So much flavor and depth to it. Id also very this every single time I visit!! Service was alright. Ambiance was chill. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    My goodness, what a spot. First, portions are HUGE. We ordered the grilled lamb, hummus, and a salad (Idr which one) but the portion size was big enough to feed 3-4 people. And this is coming from two people who know how to put away a large amount of food. Sat down immediately (though we did come on in on a holiday) and service was quick and friendly. They have those buttons that they use at Korean barbecue places at each table to call your server if needed. It seems like it would be a great place to host a large party because of the ample seating and the big portions. I highly recommend coming with a group because the portions are so big that you're only able to get a couple things, if you don't. The grilled lamb was cooked perfectly. Everything tasted so good together. The most memorable part was the milk tea, be sure to use the sweetener provided and it will truly elevate the drink. Will definitely be returning in the near future to try other dishes.

    Overall a very good spot. 4.0 stars. What's been great: Atmosphere is welcoming, especially for huge families. Even their menu is targeted towards big groups of 4-6-12 people, which makes it perfect to visit with a big group, celebrate a birthday, etc. Speaking of the birthday - they do bring out a bday cake, dim the lights and sing a happy birthday song with the whole restaurant which makes it even more special. Food portions were massive. We ordered a 92$ mix of meat that was considered for 3 people and we took 3 more to go boxes after all of us got full! Very generous servings. Taste pf the food is also great - chicken was melting in the mouth, as well as beef and lamb. Not too over-fried or under-fried, just perfect. Came out steaming out of the kitchen (on video is the second try - sorry guys). Free lollipops available whether you want to treat a child, or yourself, or both - there is no limit to that. We also bought some black tea which came with a piece of mint and my gf got Ayran. - came in the bottle and they didn't offer a cup for it :( The desert was ok according to my gf who lived in the Middle East for several years and tasted an actual Kunafa. Service was a little disappointing for such a great place. I had to ask them to take our order as it took them very long to approach us, also they didn't take our plates away after we asked them to bring the to go boxes, even though they were empty. AND it was a slow Sunday night, with only like 10 tables total. Not much enjoyable interaction - maybe it's a culture thing as I've never been to a Middle Eastern place but this is America - so they have to step up a little bit to match their actual rating. Pricing is very good. I paid 135$ including a tip for 3 people. Included 3 drinks, 1 desert, 1 humus with bread, and a main entree.

    Delicious and fun atmosphere trying Yemeni food. There's seats available to sit on a cushion on the floor or a half booth. I ordered the hrada fish and hummus and they gave me a lot of pita bread to go with it. Service was great and I liked how they provide water in water bottles. I got the baklava to-go and it was nicely wrapped. Portions were big and food was flavorful

    We had many many great experiences eating at Anaheim House of Mandi and was thinking to have great experience eating at Mandi House LA. First off, noone greeted us, everyone seemed do not want to deal with us despite seeing us. So I decided to start convo with lady staff asking if we can sit by sunken table which rudely refused and asked us to sit on the regular table instead. So we sit and noone gives us the menu, till I have to go to cashier counter to grab one menu. Then the time we order, we called one of the guy (who seen cleaning the table multiple times), so he grabbed the ordering machine and seemed confused entering the menu, like seriously, if he wasn't able to take order why not asking someone to do it. Another hiccup happened when they only served us the grilled chicken, in fact we ordered the chicken w/ rice. We complained on this and the guy who served took the chicken right away and served the right order BUT the rice was hard, cold and there was no raisins at all! We asked for raisins and they asked 'you want EXTRA raisins'. How come he mentioned it extra when there is no existing raisins at all? We asked for gloves to numerous people and ended up one person gave us. I couldn't count how many flaws on first time experience! Everyone reading this, know whether I will come back or not to this place!

    Good Yemeni food in LA. Portions are generous, and decor/ambiance is very traditional. Shafoot was very refreshing. Chicken Mandi was a bit dry. Hrada of Seltah was delicious.

    I was really excited to try this place, and it was my first time having Yemeni food. We ordered takeout, but unfortunately the chicken and lamb were extremely dry. As I tried to break the chicken apart, the bones crumbled into the rice, which made it difficult to eat. The rice itself had great flavor, but for the price, I expected higher quality and juicier meat. Sadly, it was not a great experience for me.

    This is near UCLA. Street parking is free after 8pm. There is a parking structure behind the restaurant. Places opens till 12am or something. Not sure if they were serving buffet because of ramadan or if its regular but dine in was around 8.30ish. Floor seating or table seating depending on preference, will need to take off shoes if choosing the floor seating. Staff is friendly and happily answer any questions you may have. Do not be intimidated to try this place as the staff is really nice and all diversities can be seen enjoying their meals. The food is so worth it tbh. We ordered fatoush, mandi chicken, karak chai, mandi lamb and date fatta but it was good enough for 5 people. The chicken was well cooked and delicious. The salad (fatoush) was also really good. The desert was like cooked bread with dates topped with cream and honey and it was perfect. The lamb mandi was amazing. The lamb meat just fell off the bones and had this smokey taste which was just amazing. We also ordered karak chai and that tea hit well after the meal. Overall good vibes, amazing food and friendly staff. Oh they do add 15% tip to the bill for a party of 5 and above and they'll verbally let you know when you are paying the bill so transparent staff. Staff are nice and friendly but abit slow and needed to be called when ordering or maybe it was language barrier thing but overall the place is good with amazing food. Parking wasnt bad either once you find it.

    I'm sorry for the review but it was well deserved.. The food was good but I waited almost 1 hour for my food, 2 groups that got here after me got their food before me. The place has character and is nice and chill. But they fatally failed at the customer service.

The only downside was that the waitress pushed an appetizer on us twice when we really didn't need it. Two entrées are more than enough to fill you up.

The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display. The mast moosir was a great creamy and savory side dish to complement the entrees. I HAD to get the tahdig (crispy rice) too! I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!
