Another hidden Gem in Buffallo,NY. go there for good food. we ordered Lamb Haneeth and Milk Chai. absolutely loved it. the meat was falling off bone. Rice was flavourful. the restaurant has a family entrance where families can dine in privacy. The two ladies who served us were really polite and helped us. if in Buffallo again. We will go there again to try their other menu items.

We have been going to Al Mandi since 2019 and can safely say the food has never disappointed. The taste, quality and portion size has been exceptional and consistent. The staff are very nice especially the chef. The free tea is so delicious and I don’t think we will taste anything like it. They have a family room with booths for privacy and also another section for non families. There are 2 prayer areas and 2 separate bathrooms. A fresh juice and dessert stall is within the restaurant. The Lamb Haneeth, Chicken Mandi, Foul Moudamas, Lamb Broth are delicious as well as other dishes. Too many to mention really. There is ample parking available with the entrance through to the family room.

Had the half chicken, and lamb and both were very good. The food didn’t take long at all to get to our table and everything was seasoned well. The guy at the front was helpful when we needed things and there plenty of tables and seating for people and families. The red chutney is a must though if you wanna really enjoy your Mandi.

An absolute gem in Buffalo area, especially for meat lovers. You get the best bang for your buck’s. Their lamb Mandi is unreal. My all time favorite spot for lunch.
