Al Mandi & Al Madhbi House — Restaurant in Abu Dhabi

Was our go to place for Friday lunch for last 2 years. Last week we ordered a Roti to go with our main dish, but it never arrived for more than 45 mins due to negligence by waiter. Unfortunately cashier still decided to charge for it as it was prepared in the kitchen. We tried explaining but cashier didn't understand a word of English. Then today before ordering we informed the same waiter not to delay the roti like last time as we will not pay for it. As a result waiter decided that only 2 starter soup will be given to us (group of 5). When we requested to give us 3 more soup & rice in a big bowl waiter requested us to speak to cashier, which is the strangest thing I have ever come across in my life. Waiter and cashier both claimed that these soup are not free, which we have known for ages and ready to pay as we are visiting the same place every Friday for more than 2 years. So we decided to leave the place and waiter tells thank you in a sarcastic manner. Food is great here but my humble request to you all is pls dont visit the place unless u wanted ur self to be treated badly and no respect.

In summary, if you're looking for a quick meal and don't have high culinary expectations, Al Mandi & Al Madhbi might suffice. However, the lackluster service could leave you wanting more from your...

I have been on a search for Yemeni food in the UAE for some time. The chicken mandi was pretty good and the portion is really good compared to the price.

However, I initially went to the restaurant to get matabbaq and masoob.

Before the day I ordered I actually passed by and asked if they have matabbaq. The next day I came to order and was told they stopped making it long time ago? And the masoob was so disappointing. Raisins do not belong on masoob. There was barely cream in the bread and banana mix and no ghee in the bread. It just was not right. Not like the one you would get in Riyadh.

During my order, it took around 25 minutes to get ready and the first time they got my order wrong. However, the restaurant has nice seatings and is...
