★★★★★ I wanted to go to Monasaba for a while but couldn't find enough time to drive all the way to Stanton from South OC. But this Thanksgiving weekend I managed to go there on Saturday. The restaurant is inviting, clean and the ordering process is quite simple. They offer 4 variations of Mandi comprising of Chicken or Lamb and seven types of stir fry. All stir fry comes with rice or bread (your choice). We tried: Half Chicken Mandi: It was excellent. The best aromatic basmati rice that I have tried in So. Cal. The Chicken was also baked to perfection and was juicy and tender. I think I have found the best Mandi in and around LA. Beef Qolaba: This is a beef stir fry with onions, green onions, tomatoes and parsley etc. Again this was very flavorful and came with amazing Yemeni bread or Naan that I can't recommend enough. The only thing that we needed to do was add a little bit of salt to the Qolaba and it became perfect. You can substitute bread with rice for just $1. Also all Qolabas come in three ranges of spiciness... mild, spicy and extra spicy. We tried spicy and it was jus the right amount of hotness for us. Shakshouka: This is an Eggs with vegetable stir fry. It was very well made but it was rolled up like an Egg Foo Young or an Omelette rather than a loose stir fry that I was expecting or is pictured on their website. Again it was very well made with the perfect blend of spices. They also serve 4 sides and a couple of desserts that we didn't try during this visit. I will definitely be trying the other options during my next visit. Posted on November 29, 2021
