Very rude customer service. He got our pickup order wrong when I told him it was wrong he started to argue with me. and we went back to get the right one. Once we got home we found hair in the rice. read more

Food was so authentic I thought I was in country. I got the Mandi chicken. Cooked to perfection. I also got the chick n kabob plate. Unfortunately they had burned the chicken under the broiler so it was super dried out. I still ate it cause I can't throw away food. I would recommend this place for sure. read more

I wish I had taken a photo of the food plate. I was very disappointed. I have completed reviews on many different restaurants, this place has to be my least favorite. I ordered a Chicken Shwarma Combo. 2/3's of my plate was rice. 1/3 was of the plate was salad and there was some chicken crumbled on top of the rice. The food looked nothing like photographs. My husband complained that his gyro plate actually came out like bits of burnt steak. I've already killed 3 or 4 flies too while I was eating. GROSS! Save your money. I only wish I had gone to Haji-baba instead. read more

Mandi House - 2/3 full plate of rice and 1/3 plate of salad. My husband ate the burnt prices of steak which was suppose to my gyro. disappointed. $12 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Mandi House - I promise that's the meet I got from them trash . - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Absolutely loved the food! I ordered Chicken Mandi and it was delicious. The rice was rich in flavor and chicken was cooked so soft and tender. It was very similar to Indian Chicken Biryani, may be a better version for sure. Awesome quantity with the price!!!! I would love to taste everything on the menu. Can't wait to plan my second visit here! read more

Mandi House - Chicken Mandi - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This restaurant is very excellent and it tastes good I and in the original Arabic flavor I wish you success read more

We LOVEEEE the baked fish! Great food for takeout or to eat in.

We drove almost an hour to get there and arrived with a party of at least 20 people, kids and infants included, only for them to suddenly refuse service because one person was with our group who they simply did not like. Let me repeat. THEY TURNED AWAY A 500 ORDER FROM US ON A WHIM because of some grudge they had against a former employee What a disappointment, and very shady way to do business, leaves a horrible impression. We're NEVER going back again that's for sure . And they lost a LOT of business today read more

Friendly and professional, authentic fresh food you get a good portion for what you pay my favorite meal is the mandi lamb...

Love their food. Affordable prices and lots of food for what you pay. Love the different kinds of seating.

The food is excellent and it is served traditional style. The location and decor is a bit 'hole in the wall' so this is more for foodies and not for dates. You will definitely get your money's worth. read more

I give it two I would've done one but In the past their food was delicious but now the inside stinks disgusting like a gas station bathroom and the outside surrounding area is dirty like trash in parking . The outside tells you a lot I'm afraid what the kitchen looks like if their that lazy to take of the whole restaurant. read more

Mandi House is one of my favorite restaurants in all Tempe. Known for the chicken mandi of course, so definitely try that. You can't go wrong though. Its all delicious and service is super friendly. Heads up to my American friends - most other cultures arent used to pestering their customers so they leave the restaurant as soon as possible. So, the staff will check in periodicallt but dont be afraid to ask or waive if you need assistance. Enjoy your time! read more

I had my arabic food fix today ... Thanks to Mandi House. I had the baked fish (pompano) mandi & it was so good. The fish was grilled to perfection, spices were good & rice was light. The portion was huge so I had to take some extra fish & rice home. I also ordered lamb mandi to go & I'm looking forward to tasting it. I highly recommend this place for authentic middle eastern food. read more

Portions: awesome. Knafeh for 11$? If that's for one piece- that's insane. Complimentary tea: amazing. However, food was so salty I couldn't eat it. Probably the saltiest food I've ever had in years. If there is WAY less salt, this place would really be a hit. (Please reduce salt. Please. Literally it's like an entire salt shaker in one meal. It's basically a health hazard for people with high blood pressure and/or heart palpitations, and not to mention it steals the wonderful flavor of spices/ of the meal.) read more

This place is really good! Apache Blvd is known for it many great cultural cuisine destinations. The location itself used to be a firehouse and a Long Wongs for a short period. This Middle Eastern restaurant serves up Yemeni cuisine - slow cooked meats cooked in spices and served with rice and vegetables. I teach ESL to International students on the side and brought a few of them here for lunch. I love how they have an area that you can sit on floor cushions and eat. They have free tea up front and quite a variety of baklava choices. The entrée portions are quite generous. I had the Chicken Shawarma and one of my students had the Zerban Chicken. Both were amazing! The owner came out and shared her story of coming here to the US and how she ended up here in Arizona after being in New York for a brief time (cheaper rent). A wonderful experience that I highly recommend. read more

Opted for takeout -- the chicken and meat mandi -- worth every cent -- meat so tender, it falls off the bone -- would recommend take out or delivery as the ambience is not optimal -- that said, I have lived near Detroit and Dearborn and I know what good mandi and haneeth and mansaf taste like -- if you want to know that too -- stop by at Mandi House! Tip: if you like spice, ask for their spicy sauce -- it hits the spot. read more

This is a fairly new Middle Eastern restaurant in Tempe. It's a very nice and clean place. You do get a Middle Eastern feel and their music is pretty great there (if you're into their music). Food and service was exceptional. Prices are reasonable and worth it because these plates are in huge portions. There is also an area for you to sit down and eat(my favorite way to eat Middle Eastern food) but if you prefer, there are also tables and booths. Mandi meat and Biryani chicken are a must try! They also have tea available for you before or after your meal, it's delicious. I came in late so I didn't get to see much of the bakery side of the place but from the look of it, everything is tasty here. I'm gonna hold out on the last star because this place is kind of ghetto and has a scary/creepy parking lot. It's next to a motel and you can't park in the motel parking spot. You have to go through their parking lot and it's kind of creepy at night for me(a girl) to go there alone, so bring some friends! Another reason why is that I wish they have a plate that feature different kind of meat instead of just 1 specific type of meat per plate. Maybe I'm asking too much but most places I have been to, there's always an option where I can get gyro, chicken and kabob all on one plate. Also, I love rice and yogurt but the yogurt here wasn't doing it for me, it wasn't creamy enough. Overall though, I like the place and love the food. I will probably come back here again and also try some of their dessert since I was too full this time. read more

Delicious best restaurant in Az sweetest employee's 1000000/10000000 i think i go almost 4 times a week

Very fresh and delicious food, they have the best fish in Arizona so far. I also love their open buffet in Ramadan! read more

Companion and I arrived for dinner and were promptly seated. Entry is through a small parking lot in the rear, and is easily missed. The restaurant has two rooms, one with regular tables, and one in which guests are able to sit on the floor. We started out with a plate of hummus (4.99). Startlingly smooth and beautifully not over spiced, this was to portend the start of a really good dinner. For main courses we ordered Mandi Meat (Roasted Lamb w/basmati rice 13.99) , Zerban Meat (Lamb w/raisins, nuts, potatoes in a tomato based sauce 13.99), Falafel 5.99, and Areekah (Bread w/dates, honey, and cream 7.99) The portions were large, and the lamb was cooked perfectly with wonderful flavors. The Areekah served as our dessert, and is almost addicting to eat. Once you start, you cannot stop. Our only disappointment was with Falafel. It was on the dry side and was obviously made from a mix rather than fresh fava beans. All this also came with complimentary salad with two types of dressings available and on the plate. To be honest, this is going to become one of my new must eat at places because the food is so very good. It is also worth noting that they also serve a breakfast menu which includes Shakshuka, which is a must have middle eastern dish of eggs cooked in a tomato base with spices. I personally cook this at home, and have never found any place that cooked it in the U.S. I highly recommend this restaurant for a wonderful experience of eating middle eastern food. 4 stars for cleanliness, portion size, and wonderful flavors. read more

They're lamb is the best and just overall they have the best Arabic food in arizona there is no Arabic food better than Mandi house

Been to this place way too many times for food but unfortunately, they are selling haram meat although saying it's halal. Video clearly shows the son of the owner buying it. I'm sure people who have been there multiple times like myself knows who this gentlemen is. If you're selling haram, just say you are. Why deceive people who are strict about eating halal meat. SHAME ON YOU! read more

I have yet to visit the restaurant, however when ordering for the first time I was overwhelmed by the rich taste and authenticity of the food, as someone missed having authentic food for years, I'm glad that I stumbled upon Mandi House, hopefully with the end of Pandemic I'd be able to dine there, to all the staff there, thank you for keeping it fresh :) totally recommend read more

Oh my goodness so delicious like home cooking Went there with my family, good humble service Best middle eastern cooking I give 5 stars read more

Don't be fooled by the outside. The food is excellent. Very generous servings. I have tried the meat kabseh and the meat mandi. The meat was very well cooked. The spices were delicious. It's a hidden gem read more

The food was amazing! Highly recommend trying the desserts. There's an option to sit on the floor too.

their Mandi Chicken! We dined here on a whim and so grateful we did! Super authentic and very reasonable prices. Only weird thing is we didn't know if there was table service or if you're supposed to order at the counter (which we ended up doing.) We've ordered takeout a few times since our first visit. Huge portions of rice and fall off the bone chicken perfectly spiced. We tried the fish too which the regulars seemed to order. It was yummy but it's a whole fish so expect to look for bones. read more

I love this place. Tried it with my husband for 3 times now, two times during Ramadan, their Iftar buffet was cheap and great! Now ordering a la carte, the food is even better! Prices are reasonable and the service is very good. The food is up to par and my favorite is the Kabsa. The portions are pretty big and the food is served with salad. That's a very good deal! I definitely recommend this place and will be coming here over and over again. read more

Mandi House - Great restaurant, amazing food! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

From the outside we could smell the aroma of delicious food and very excited to try this restaurant. We started with hummus and baba ganoush with pita and it was delicious. The main course arrived and it looked amazing. We had ordered half chicken and half beef dishes but they brought full orders. We also asked for a knife three times to cut the meat and never received one. I found a hair in my salad and again in my beef dish with rice. We told the waiter and he took the hair and never came back to the table. They did not offer to remake the food or a discount. Basically he ignored the issue. We paid and left. It was a rather disappointing visit. read more

Lamb and the Mandi chicken are my favorite. Rice is so full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The grilled fish is also a fantastic option.

This place is amazing! I love the falafel plate! So delicious! Come for lunch or bring the whole family for dinner - you will not be disappointed. read more

Mandi House - Falafel plate... delicious falafels, rice and salad. Always great! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

the food is great. I checked the 1-star reviews and all of them are false, the food is cooked to perfection and the service is great as the food did not take more than 30 minutes. the cleaning is good too. Of course, everything will take time as it's a family business but everything was perfect from the food to the service. I'm a picky eater and barely like any Middle Eastern restaurant even though I'm from there but I tried the chicken and the rice it was amazing and the price was very fair as most arab restaurants I have gone to for the last 7 years I have been in her America either have meat too much fat or they have fine food but the price but this restaurant has fair prices, amazing food, amazing service and made me feel like I was in my home country as they have the arab furniture including the furnac. We had three people and everything in total came up to 60 dollars including the drinks the food and the tax. I'll definitely go there again just for the chicken rice read more

The food is very good probably the best middle eastern food in Phoenix , i just wish they pay attention to cleaning the restaurant , the place is always dirty and smells bad , I left this review so hopefully they'll do something about it because this been the situation . And also terrible customer service i orderd food to eat in the restaurant then he brings it in to go box and telling me sorry we made it. To go and when i asked him to put it in plate he said sorry i cant , it feels like they are literally kicking customers out SMH NEVER AGAIN read more

I had the fallafel sandwich combo. It came with fries and a soda. I had a can of Sprite since it was late at night. The fries could have been cooked a little longer, they were a little too light for my taste but they didn't taste bad with the ketchup. The fallafel sandwich was good especially with spiracha on it. I wish I would have known that it came with cucumbers and big pieces of tomatoes cause I would have asked for it to be made without those two ingredients. Now I know how to order my dish next time. The food was good and the server was great. He is was really nice with my fussy 3 year old and knew just what to do to calm her down. He gave her a chocolate bar, it worked. Overall it was a good experience. My girl liked her food and I liked mine for the most part. The vibe was really laid back in the restaurant and they have paint that the guests are allowed to play. My daughter played it the whole time we were there. It kept her occupied. read more

Great food, the portions are huge, their fish Mandi is a must, chicken Mandi is also amazing, highly recommended.

Kunafa was so terrible flavorless and we did return it back to the restaurant. We already tried it and we did not like it. For sure if you want to rate the food you have to try it. So we did not like it because we know the perfect taste of the Kunafa. However, when we did return it the owner was yelling at us and he did call us thieves. So, this place needs lots of improvements specially in the kitchen plusome ethics around! read more
