The special soup 🍜 and lamb لہم mandi at this restaurant were absolutely delicious! The flavors were authentic, and the lamb was juicy and perfectly cooked. The soup was rich and flavorful, making it a great start to the meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Arabic mandi.
Al Yahar Modern Restaurant is a gem for authentic Yemeni cuisine, offering a true taste of tradition in a welcoming setting. The menu is packed with flavorful dishes, from tender lamb mandi to rich salta. The restaurant caters perfectly to families, with dedicated family sections and the option to dine in partitioned areas on the floor, following traditional Yemeni customs, or at regular dining tables for added comfort. The staff are friendly and attentive, note their not fluent English speakers but whey will try communicate to accommodate guest. If you try traditional Yemeni cuisine where most the local Emirati residents dine at, Al Yahar Modern Restaurant is an excellent choice.
Very pathetic and poor service, first floor cashier with white cap even misbehaved with customer.If possible I would give them negative rating.
We only had take outs when we were at Al Ain, so I can only comment about the food. And the food is amazing! Definitely must try. Order the chicken mandi and chicken madbi and get some jerjer with lemon too. Will probably try dining in when we get back.
