Mandi Afandi

Their food is absolutely delicious. I tried all the lamb meals, i would recommend them all. Their Okra too is tasty I’d recommend. The mini plate is enough for one person, plate for two.

I saw a lot of recommendations on their kunafa, i tried ishta kuanafa but it wasn’t worth it.

Miryam and the staff were nice. They are welcoming and friendly.

I really wanted to support your business but please note that for your chicken and lamb platter - the chicken and lamb have an odd smell and taste. It did not taste fresh. I spent over 100 dollars.

I have decided to change my initial review. The restaurant has made their quality and quantity bad. Before a full chicken family platter (33$) use to be sufficient quantity of rice.but this time there was barely rice in the platter tray. We had to pay 7$ extra to buy extra rice (probably new tactic for extra money) I recommend increase the platter price but give the right quantity.plus on top of that the heating was not working every customer and even employees were frustrated.food was cold due to that.not going there again there are a lot of options out there now.

Worst Mandi i ever had here.worst experience. Sorry to say but Mandi was not at all tasty. Oily rice.not flavourful at all. Lamb or meat was smelly. Very disappointed.

One waiter with a scarf and extreme makeup in particular was very rude, if your having a bad day then dont come to work. The other ladies were wonderful. Food was good

The food tastes just like home, but please clean your filthy washrooms. My god, the moment I stepped in, it felt like this was the dirtiest restaurant I have ever seen in Canada. I literally couldn't get the image of the dirt out of my head while eating. I will assume this was just a filthy customer, and I will update this review on my next visit.

Loved the chicken madfoon.the lamb should be more tender.the serving size and sauces are good.

Mansaf 25 dollars with tax 30 Oh, what for? I swear to God, what he said is a plate of rice and two small pieces of meat, and on top of that, it depends on how much you drink. The price compared to the quantity is not right. The bathrooms are very dirty.

Amazing place and they had the most moist chicken and tender lamb. Ghost pepper sauce was amazing and the lamb soup is a must try. Owner was a nice guy and especially asked us how we are enjoying the food and restaurant. Asked us for constructive criticism.

The staff is really rude. I requested to put the rice and the meat in 2 different boxes because it get soggy. But they rejected my request and wasted 40 minutes of my time. It doesn’t taste the same as earlier.

This place I went to yesterday evening is placed in a plaza drive in with loads of parking and other eating options. Wanted to try Lamb Mandi as it was my birthday. Went with my son and ordered the $24.99 Lamb Mandi plate. First up I would like to say that there are only women/girls at the restaurant for self service ordering. Then food is served in a few minutes. To add about food, the Mandi was good to look at as there were two huge prices of lamb well cooked. The rice was a bit tangy and slightly wet. The food was not hot enough to enjoy. Cannot compare to the authentic Mandi which we get in the Middle East or in Hyderabad, India. I would say it was Okay to try for the first time and the lamb will not disappoint you. The quantity was decent for two people with an average diet. The bathroom was very badly kept and not at all clean. I would suggest pls look into these things as hygiene matters. Also try and have a couple of male servers around during busy times at your place.

Best arabian resturant in GTA

Pros
1. Original Mandi flavour is delicious
2. The dressings are amazing i usually order extra

Cons
None

As a big fan of Mandi cousins, simply I can't give more than one star for this restaurant.
There is no good food smell inside the restaurant, plus a bad smell in the entrance
Overpriced for a very BASIC food, as well as unprofessional service
It was my first and last time at this restaurant

Hey Hey!
Trying first time Arabic dish Mandi and it was worth it!
I was just amazed how jucy and so well cooked chicken and lamb pieces were!
Food Quality 5 star. Service 4 star.
Overall amazing thank experience!
Don’t forget to drink complementary hot Kahwah with delicious Dates after you are done with food…

Very clean. Nice servers. Decor is cool.
Food however.average at best. Ordered the Mandi/Madghi Chicken platter. Just didn't have the level of flavour (if any at all) we were looking for.

And please stay away from the Kanafeh.absolutely brutal.

We ordered one lamb and one chicken mandi, regular plate. The guy who took order, we asked him if one regular plate lamb mandi enough for two, and he said negative.
But after serving we found very huge portion, 5/6 medium pieces of lamb! It was very soft, fat and bone-in, which perfectly brought the rich texture and flavour of lamb. I felt the rice portion is smaller in comparison of lamb portion. Moreover, the rice lacks in flavour, it was like very dry rice cooked separately, no flavour from meat was induced in rice. (Which takes one star off)
The chicken had also a very soft texture with a little hint of tandoori flavour mixed with mandi spices.
Price is moderately high, ambience is really good, they have opened rooms for family or groups as well! However, the music was little loud for me.

Pictures don't do justice. Loved the food here. Portions are huge. Good for two people. Comes with lentil soup.

Loved the chicken mandi and fish dish! Its full of flavour and loved the presentation and the service was very good too, will be going regularly from now! Seating was spacious and place was well lit and neat

Consistently amazing, generous portions and the best quality lamb I've had in Canada. Item pictured is zurbian.

I loved the food it was very delicious I really enjoyed it and I highly recommended.
They have the best customer service
They have the best coffee and very delicious dates

Food was really great.enjoyed every bit.
Kunafa on the other hand was a big disappointment.

It’s a nice place for Mandi lovers to try out. They have a variety of Mandi menu with Majlis seating and normal one. I tried the Mandi Madhbi which comes with grilled chicken and flavoured rice and yogurt which was good.

I just loved the atmosphere, the incense with the authentic coffee and dates. This is the atmosphere I grew up in and the experience was so nostalgic. Loved it. And this is the only place where I am eating out everytime I'm in town. Not to mention the taste of the food. To make a long story short, just loooooved it.

Very convenient drive through option, almost as fast as a burger place. We had their chicken mandi af a friends place, reminded us of what we used to get in Dubai, had to get one more.

It was our first time to order something for take take out at this Mississauga location. Opted for Lamb Mandi, Haneedh, Zurbian and Moussaka. The order came with 3 portions of lentil soup as well.
Having had Mandi at several locations in Middle East and UK, I’m glad to find Mandi Afandi in Mississauga. The menu options are very good.
Will definitely try Madhbi and Madfoun as well next time. The quality of meat was very good, and the lentil soup was good too.

The food is amazing. I’m so astonished I have never had something like this before and I’m so glad I found this place. The rice alone is so good but the chicken is seasoned so well and somehow melts in my mouth. Cool people and cool environment as well. I’m coming back again for sure!

The food and taste was excellent. Prices were reasonable and the customer service provided by Sami was top notch.

The authenticity and hospitality provided by this restaurant is reminiscent of the infamous Middle Eastern hospitality.

Awesome food, great environment both these with friends.
It was during festival so huge waiting was there rest highly recommended

Overall environment is very good. Plenty of parking available. Colour sense and seating arrangements are good too.

Giving 1 star because of their poor customer service and food complain.

Here's why I'm giving 3 starts, firstly there os flavour and its good but its not the best, I had better though. I ordered the lamb mandi plate and it was mostly bones, very little meat, flavor was there though but if I'm paying 24$ I would expect to get more meat than rice. I grew up in Dubai and I know how its supposed to be, my whole life I had mandi but hadn't seen a place likes this that serves so little for a higher price. Quantity has to meets its quality in everything. I'm a food blogger so I would give this a place a 5/10, I would come one more time to test it out as a second chance but if it happens again I wouldn't come.

I had a bad experience with this restaurant as I
orderd a mansaf plate for 5 people, I told him on the phone while I’m placing my order to put it in a big plate as I have people over for dinner, the packageing was not as expected, the amount of yogurt doesn’t match the amount of rice as it’s a small amount and when I asked for more he charged me 6$ extra which is very expensive, poor management, when you sell mansaf you have to attend a training course how to match the amount of yogurt with amount of rice you serve, unprofessional staff and unrespectful,

Samosa were still frozen in the middle. Food was okay, but overly oily and not well cooked or seasoned. Not terrible but still a disappointment.

We ordered Madfoon and mandi. If you have very high blood pressure this place is for you. No salt in chicken no lemon or any spicy.
Just boiled chicken on rice.

The food was awesome, nice service and reasonable price.
I wish they provide tea side by side with Arabic coffee and dates, highly recommended.

We drove about an hour to visit this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff is helpful and hard working. Will surely visit again

I had a very good experience with this restaurant. I visited first time here and don't know about what to try. Their staff was literally very helpful to explain everything about dishes. I wanna very grateful to staff for giving us quality of service ever owner was very humble too. Regarding food, it was just authentic Arabic food. Quantity and quality of food according to the price was literally satisfying. Great ambiance. Definitely come back because of their good staff. Highly recommended place.

Loved the food, came all the way from Winnipeg for Mandi and this place has fulfilled my craving for authentic Mandi. Staff and Owner were really friendly. ️

THE BEST GODAMN MANDI IN ONTARIO. ITS SIMPLY AMAZING
Nice clean restaurant with a warm atmosphere. I’ve been here for lunch a few times. Good customer service and most importantly Excellent Chicken Mandi. The chicken is beautifully cooked and seasoned. The rice has amazing flavour to it and high quality. The sauce on the side is great too.

This is perhaps the best Mandhi in Mississauga

We were out and decided to go for dinner and went to Mandi Afandi! Super yummy and great price as well their cute lil seating concept is pretty cool and they have good customer service and also they are following the proper guideline of the covid protocols as well we went to dine in and they properly checked our id’s and vaccination proof. Also the food the quantity was also very good and their complimentary lentil soup was a go on! We ate chicken mandi Would highly recommend it!

It was very bad experience.i order chicken and lamb.first I receive the lentil soup.it was o.k. But when I receive the main dish, it was cold even the meat was hard.i left the dish less three bites.

V rude staff, my 3 year old was running around and we changed a few tables too find a calm place where other ppl wouldn’t get disturbed but the guy at the counter yelled at us to stop changing tables, the food was also very average! U get a far better mandi at xawassh

This is one of the best places I have ever tried and Canada.
The food there is delicious and reasonable price and time to prepare.
We the plate for 4-6 people and the quality of the meat is out of this world.
I will definitely come back when I visit again.

Very close to taste to original yemani laham mandi, if 6ou don't get the original taste, this is going to be second best!

Must try!

Delicious Mandi! Absolutely loved the original & authentic experience! The food is plenty and very flavourful which is incredible! The service is good as well but most of all the food! We have no found better Mandi anywhere!

Such an amazing and enjoyable experience. I didn't have prior experience with the place but checked some reviews and decided to try it. When we arrived we were 5 guys. We were greated by the owner and he offered us complimentary Arabic coffee which we all had.we were then seated in a nice contained Arabic seating which was unique.we had medhabi and mandi both portions were humongous and extremely tasty and delicious.the owner then came and offered us more Arabic coffee and sauces for the rixr and lamb we had.we loved the service, quality, taste and generous portions.we will certainly be back again very soon.

Amazing quality of food and good serving size. Ordered a chicken mandi plater that was more than enough for two people to share!

Wait was a little long but Mandi was excellent. Ordered the “Zurbian” and it tasted amazing. The lamb very nice and tender and was falling off the bone.

I never tried madhbi before until one day my friend recommended this place. I’m just in love with their food. The portions are so filling and the taste is beyond words. I visit this place once a week.
The only thing is sometimes the chicken is not well cooked from inside. I hope you guys take care of it. Will be there again!

Nice food, quantity of rice could be a little more

Mandi tasted superb and delicious. Reminded me of the very flavour of mandi which I used to have, when I was in Saudi Arabia
