★★★★★ I was visiting South Padre Island from New Orleans and found this place around 30 min from where I was staying. One of the very few restaurants within the area I believe there is one more halal option in the area however I was told that closed down. There is a Pakistani halal grocery store also nearby named GeeMarket. Besides that there is no other halal options here in this area. Now going onto the food, the meat within the kababs were very fresh and juicy. I had the beef kabab and the half chicken as well. Everything was amazing Alhamdulillah. Quite a blessing to have such a nice halal spot in a place where halal options are scarce. Also on a side note, the drive to Mexico from here is only a few minutes so I drove there with the family out there after the restaurant just for a night drive and it's nice so make sure to check out Matamaros in Mexico very close to the restaurant.

★★★★★ I have no idea why this place is getting anything less than 4 stars on Yelp. I visited them only once and was blown away!. First of all the Mandi is nothing short of perfection. To top it all the service was phenomenal. Yes.. we had to wait a looong time to get our order in but the owner is to be blamed for that, and not the staff. They only had two girls taking orders, cleaning up, running cash register, bringing in food and drinks etc. and the place was quite busy. The girls did it all with a smile on their face and were very courteous and helpful. I would recommend the owner to give them a raise. He has picked out excellent servers. Going back to the food, I tried Chicken Mandi, Hrada of Fahsa (Lamb and Beef mixed) as well as Masoob Fatta (dessert with bread, bananas, cream and honey). Everything was from the top shelf. Another big plus is the Middle Eastern style sitting down on the floor arrangement that is available. We were really comfortable sitting down and would highly recommend it if you haven't tried it yet. Ask for low to the ground table to be put in front of you if you want the food to be placed a bit higher. They should put those tables in all floor seating areas. The only negative I could think of was restrooms that were not very clean.... again, the owner needs to staff up!! By the way, I forgot about the fresh baked bread and the different teas. They were all excellent. Can't wait to go there again. Posted on May 28, 2021

★★★★★ I visited them for the first time during their Ramadan buffet and they killed it.rnThe place was packed... not even a single table was available so it helped that we had made reservations 5 hours in advance. Service was excellent and the food was one of the best Labanese food I have tried on the West Coast.rnTheir attention to detail is also second to none. Each platter was decorated and one could easily see that they put emphasis not just on flavor but also presentation. There were more than half a dozen appetizers as well as even more main dishes. The baked Chicken was absolutely mouth watering. All kind of lamb dishes were properly marinated and not gamey at all.rnI would definitely recommend them to everyone. Posted on May 3, 2021

★★★★★ This place is definitely a hidden gem. After spending a beautiful day at Niagara falls, the food served in this restaurant was cherry on top! The ambiance is so soothing and everything was served in clay pots. Lassi and naan were so authentic. We ordered shinwari mutton, chicken paneer handi and chicken biryani. The quantity was more than what we expected and everything was delicious. I am totally a non desi food person and please note that this review is coming from someone who has never rated any restaurant in North America ever in last 13 years. Posted on March 31, 2021
