Afghan House Al Mandi Restaurant, located at Old Airport in Doha, has garnered a lot of attention for its delicious food and affordable prices, making it one of the most reviewed spots in the city. Intrigued by the reviews, I decided to visit after ordering through Talabat, where they often offer attractive deals, such as half-price discounts compared to dine-in prices.
When I arrived at the restaurant, it wasn't too busy, probably due to it being a weekday. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff were friendly. One of the standout features was the complimentary soup and salad that arrived shortly after sitting down. Both were flavorful and set a positive tone for the meal ahead.
Looking at the menu, I noticed some slight price differences compared to what I had seen online via Talabat. However, the prices were still reasonable for the quality of food served. I opted for a traditional Mandi dish, and while the flavors were satisfying, I felt the taste profile of the meat could have been enhanced. It was clear that the restaurant focuses on providing budget-friendly meals, which explains the more modest seasoning and preparation of the meat. However, to truly stand out as one of the best in Doha, a little more refinement in the taste of the meat could elevate the entire dish.
Overall, the experience at Afghan House Al Mandi Restaurant was pleasant. The food was good, and the value for money was great, especially with the offers on Talabat. I believe with a slight tweak in the flavor profile of the meat, this restaurant could easily become one of the top Mandi spots in Doha. It's worth a visit for those seeking a hearty, affordable meal. Would...

Read moreIt is clear that the quality level is declining. I hope they review themselves and return to their accustomed standard from years ago. A few days ago, I ordered a dish of goat meat with mandi rice, and it was a bad experience. The meat was scarce and full of bones (another branch). And today, I ordered half grilled chicken with bread + a whole grilled chicken with rice from this branch. Firstly, the bread was not fresh. Secondly, guess how many side dishes came with the order? Only 1 salad + 1 garlic + 1 sauce for the rice. I have decided to boycott them until they return to their...
