I was really excited to try this place because of the good reviews but it was such a letdown…read more When we walked in, there were maybe two other customers. We were seated pretty quickly but waited about 30 minutes before the server came back to give us menus. He appeared to be the only person working so I tried to cut him some slack but it was another 20-30 minutes before we were even able to place our order. They brought out salad appetizers, which were essentially just fresh-cut lettuce with no dressing or flavor. Our food finally came out after about 45 minutes of waiting. I ordered the Beef Kebob and my husband got the Lamb Mandi. The beef itself was flavorful and tender, but there were only about 4-5 small pieces sitting on top of a huge portion of rice. The rice was bland and dry. The lamb mandi also lacked flavor, and the lamb was very dry and bland as well. Overall, it was a pretty underwhelming experience.

Mandi Oasis is unassuming with a small sign right on Green Springs. I had no idea what to order, so I played it safe with Chicken Mandi and a side of naan bread. I had to get back to the office so I ordered to-go. Not even 10 minutes passed before I was walking out with a massive grocery bag of food. What a MASSIVE amount of food. I got a half chicken and a massive pile of rice with the chicken Mandi order. It also came with reshly ground house hot sauce that was spicy but not unbearable. Mostly fresh tomato with a slight jalapeno flavor. The chicken was very tender and juicy. Very lightly spiced, like a super mild baked chicken. It was really delicious. Salad didn't have any dressing and I wasn't sure what to do with it. I didn't eat it. It looked like it was iceberg and cucumbers. Maybe I was supposed to mix it into the rice? The RICE!!! OMG. Perfectly cooked very long grains of basmati were so flavorful with lots of exotic herbs and spices. I pulled out bay leaves and a cinnamon stick- like this is so good. Some of the best rice I've ever had!

This is where Paramount wins a crown. A very good cheeseburger and fantastic onion rings. I odered my burgers rather pedestrian with just mayo, so I can't comment on garnish. I will tell you it is one of the best cheeseburgers around and I've yet to find onion rings that stand up to these. Excellent service getting me my burger quickly, unfortunately they let my drink cup empty and it took forever for someone to come back to check on me. It is a family restaurant with video games, when I visited parents let their young kids, too young to play video games, have full run of the place. This will lead me to order delivery as unruly kids ruin a dining experience. Parking is a little tricky but if you can handle the yelling and running around kids, have at it. Still great food!

My husband ordered the Rueben sandwich and I ordered the flounder cake plate. I ordered the chicken poppers plate for my kids to share. After we sat down, requested a high chair and got our drinks, we were informed that flounder cakes were out. I adjusted to the spice rubbed chicken but there was no price refund or any type of service recovery. The food arrived in two batches. I asked for a non breakable plate for my one year old and was pleasantly surprised by a kids plate. The chicken (both poppers and spice rubbed) was very dry. I see now why every plate comes with a sauce. The best thing was the fried green tomatoes and pastry arts cake in a cup $4 they sell. Bathrooms have a big toilet and a small kids toilet along with a changing table.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, although the indoor seating is very tight or at the bar. While we were there, it started raining, so everyone outside came in and mostly had to stand around. We got two sandwiches as a to go order, and it took about 45 minutes. So, if you need food fast, I would not suggest this place. The sandwich itself was a build your own, and came with Ruffles type chips. The sandwich was good, and all the ingredients tasted fresh! My total after tax and tip was about $16. Interesting ambience inside, as the indoor seating and ordering area was pretty dark having red lightbulbs everywhere. Overall, I would recommend this place, but maybe not for large parties or a quick bite to eat.

And add on olives. It might have been the peanut dressing, but it's certainly not over-dressed by any means (more like massaged in). It might have been the sweet, chewy dried cranberries (I refuse to say, "craisins.") I also had a mediocre vegan wrap which desperately needed seasoning. I had ordered it with olives and paid extra for the add-on, but they forgot to put them on. Honestly, if I had only ordered this, I wouldn't come back here again because this wrap was not only not good, it was fifteen dollars. It really needed something to give it flavor, even a little salt would have gone a long way. But, that salad. Just do it. Unless you have a peanut allergy.

The grilled chicken had a flavorful, teriyaki-style sauce flavor, and the sticky rice combined perfectly with the crunchy toppings. Every bite had a great balance of crunch, - and savory flavor. When I got here, I noticed that we order at the cashier rather than having a server come to the table, but the staff at the front was genuinely patient and helpful in guiding us through the menu. The wait staff, also checked on us throughout the meal, which made the service feel attentive and welcoming. The restaurant has a wide-open layout with plenty of natural light, giving a relaxed chill atmosphere that feels comfortable rather than crowded or stuffy. The menu felt familiar and approachable, probably this place could be called good Americana-style food with something for everyone. They also had a tempting dessert selection, although we were too full from our meal to try any! Definitely a place I would gladly visit again, when I'm back in Birmingham!

This place is in the shopping center next to the Vestavia AMC on Highway 31. This place is beautiful and clean - just like the food. They prepare your meal fresh while you watch. I chose the Chicken Tinga bowl with cauliflower rice, and a Pomegranate Mint Lemonade. The nice guy talked me through all of the ingredients as he was fixing the bowl. The bowl was recyclable, and full of deliciousness. Chicken with a touch of heat, corona cheese, kale, celery, black beans, corn, cauliflower rice, avocado half, and a sweet-spicy dressing, all mixed together in a beautiful blend. I could not stop eating - it was THAT good. And if you are not a fan of pomegranate or mint, then you may not appreciate the Pomegranate Mint Lemonade like I did. So delicious and refreshing! (And yes, I took the last of this lemonade out of the container.) Appreciate the friendly service and the amazing food. Well worth the $22.00 paid for it!

This was my first visit to not only this location but even any similar concept…read more Since I have been trying to do a little bit better for my health, I am trying to make better choices and this seemed like a good place to help with those decisions. I decided to go with the Southwestern Steak Salad (Cabbage & Cilantro Blend, Romaine, Seared Steak, Black Beans, Corn, Jalapeño Peppers, Pickled Red Onion, Tortilla Chips) but left out the peppers & onions for personal preference. You can customize however you like even substituting different toppings. The steak was cooked well done but not dry and seasoned well. I found the chipotle ranch to have a bit more heat than I expected and would probably choose a different dressing next time. The serving size was very filling even for someone like me with a big appetite. The staff was friendly & helpful and restaurant was clean with a good amount of seating. It seemed to have more people ordering to go than dining in but was nice enough if not pretty plain. Overall I will likely return and try some other options but I'm not in a big hurry to go back.
