Lloyd Allen: Went here for dinner with my wife. We started with soup and salad. We liked the soup because most mandi places in al ain dont serve free soup. We got the fresh meat mandi, liver stew and seabream. Fresh mandi needed extra flavor but the tomato sauce made up for it. There was also free yogurt. Fish and liver was very tasty. Bread was so big it impossible to finish.Remember to always order extra fried onion. Will definitely go back again. This is our new mandi place.

Afsal Muhammed ali: This location was suggested by one of my family friend when we visited Al ain The taste is better, not the best. But the quantity you get for the special 3kg grill at very cheap rate compared to regular 1 kg mix grill platter. VALUE FOR THE MONEY. If you have a small group, who loves to eat and share, you must try this place. I not sure about the other dishes as I didn’t try, the overall ambience and location is very nice, nice staffs, lots of parking and great place overall. Worth minimum one visit. Usually restaurant reviews cannot be trusted blindly , as many reviews are manipulated and the taste and quality changes overnight, as the ingredients may vary or the making itself vary,even the cook itself change. Most importantly every person’s opinions are different, for the same food we get many reviews. So the review is purely based on my taste and for the food I had. |

Kannan Nair: Visited twice already in the last week with my friend to give him a company to break his fast. Tried chicken Mandi and Chicken Madfoon ( both were delicious and of good portion). They serve you the soup as starter . And their freshly prepared baklava with sugar syrup is the perfect dessert to end your course. And finally the Moroccan tea is as good as it could be . Can’t miss to mention their service as all their service staffs are very friendly,professional and very approachable. Five star rating from me and I will recommend this place for anyone who loves Arabic food or someone who want to try out Arabic food. You will love it, its my guarantee. Looking forward for my next visit soon. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 |

Sam Adel: I recommend the Mandi, zurbian and grilled fish. A simple yet very satisfying restaurant you have to try it your self to understand what I mean. Value for money would be nothing less than a five star especially if you dine in as you will be given generous portions of spicy tomato souse and delicious mouth watering salad. What makes this place truly special would be 1. Quality of the ingredients especially the meat 2. Welcoming off the staff 3. The time it takes to prepare the food has always been less than 5 minutes. |

Kaasa Bombay: Hololo, Al yahar restaurant is one of the oldest restaurant in alain. Lahaam and fish was amazing with less price then other yemeni arabic restaurant, Chicken mandi was ok, compare to others, taste is authentic, you all should try it, In case you guys travelling to alain, keep in mind and try it. Family seating are available. Restaurant is very old and their ambiance is also authentic 😜 so don’t worry just go and try the taste. Thanks |

Najib H: Finally found Oman special Shuwa Restaurant at Al ain – Oman border (Near Al Ain Hili Mall). Good food. Better masala than normal mandi madhbi. Rice we can choose our own, 3-4 times of rices they have. Tried both chicken and mutton Shuwa. Good food, but not matched shuwa in Oman.
