Al Mandaloun — Restaurant in Dubai

Al Mandaloun - A lavish lebanese restaurant located at DIFC is an excellent place to satisfy your lebanese food cravings.Eventhough its a fine dining concept,they are serving scrumptious lebanese street food dishes like manakeesh,shawarma etc.

We started off with Fresh Cocktail & Pomegranate & Pineapple Juice.Pomegranate & pineapple juice is a must try at mandaloun.I really liked the combination.

DISHES ORDERED:-

Cheese thin crust manakeesh - This is a must try at mandaloun.Freshly baked cheese manakeesh was yummy.

Al Mandaloun Salad - It was fresh & tasted good.We also tried hummus with kibbeh.

Batata Harra - I have tried batata harra from many places.This was the best.It was perfectly spiced and cooked.

Chicken Shawarma- Shawarma served in saj bread was super juicy.

Mix Grill- Grilled to perfection but the quantity was less.

Grilled Shrimps - Another must try at Al Mandaloun.Grilled shrimps served with veggies etc was perfectly seasoned and grilled.

Kunafa - I totally enjoyed their freshly baked kunafa with lots of cheese!!

We also had Ghazal Beirut ,A dessert made of cotton candy.

VERDICT

Ambiance - Lavish & Spacious fine dining with outdoor terrace.

Service - Friendly & Welcoming...

Terrible Experience: Poor Service and Communication at Al Mandaloun DIFC

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Al Mandaloun in DIFC. My group and I ordered food, including a lamb chop, and were informed by our waiter, Raafat, that it would take a considerable amount of time. Despite being willing to wait, we were left waiting for over 45 minutes after the rest of our orders had been served and consumed. When we asked Raafat for an update, he was unhelpful and dismissive, citing vague excuses about the chef's mood and kitchen delays. We even inquired about speaking to a manager for clarification, only to be told there was no manager available. What truly appalled us was Raafat's attempt to shift blame onto us when we suggested he should have informed us earlier about the unavailability of the lamb chop. Instead of acknowledging his poor communication, he accused us of dishonesty and insisted we order a different item.

This lack of transparency, accountability, and professionalism ruined what could have been an enjoyable dining experience. I would strongly advise against dining at Al Mandaloun until they address these glaring issues in...

We are Lebanese food lovers so we are in a hunt of a good Lebanese Restaurant. We’ve heard a lot of good things about Al Mandaloun in DIFC so went here to try.
