Raydan Restaurant

The entire experience was a winner, and honestly, the service was lightning-fast, which is always a bonus when you're hungry.

We went straight for the Yemeni Mandi, and wow, it was perfection. The rice was so light, fluffy, and infused with that incredible smoky flavor—it's the real deal. The meat (I had the lamb) was literally fall-off-the-bone tender. It's the ultimate comfort food done right.

The meal kicked off nicely with the complimentary starter soup, which was savory and warming. But the real surprise at the end was the Qahwah (Arabic coffee). It was aromatic, spiced, and genuinely refreshing—the ideal palate cleanser after such a rich meal.

Halal yemani restaurant. The highlight of the restaurant is the mandi. Tasty, very fulfilling and verg economical. They also serve a soup stock complimentary which is equally good and filling. They have arab floor type of sitting.  The hummous and roti (bread) was good as well.
It has a lot of parking spots.

Went around 1 PM it wasn't busy.
They offer meat stock soup on the house

Lamb mandi was amazing, it comes with bread similar to naan. Meat was very tender and didnt really have the lamb smell/after taste, loved it!
I didnt really like the Mqalqel as it had the lamb after taste

Service is good and food came quite fast

It's also reasonably priced as we paid around £30 for mandi, mqalel, drinks, and dessert

Overall nice experience would come again for the lamb mandi tenderness

Here again to update on 2 additional dishes, the kunafa & fish mekhbaza (grilled fish). Both are amazing

After going multiple times, sometimes the tables and chairs need cleaning, but the staff responds quickly when you tell them

Taking 1 star off for the atmosphere

Was recommended this place by a work colleague and a group of 9 of us went.

Parking can is available outside with plenty on side streets.

Nice friendly vibes and smells emanating inside were delightful.

We decided to book a room (can seat around 12 people I reckon and maybe more) and only negative criticism was that we did have to ask on several occasions for place to be cleaned up. This place can get busy.

Complimentary soap was the perfect start and a nice touch.

Ordered the lamb Zumbina and it was delightful. The meat was succulent and the flavours really lovely.

The food arrived very quick and even partook in the chicken brost which I highly recommend. Only item I didn’t enjoy was the fasha and it’s a very distinguished taste. Not for me anyway.

Card payments accepted and friendly service.

Toilet (only 1) which has a bidet and was clean. Could do with another ideally and washroom facilities also available.

A place I enjoyed visiting and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending and returning.

Excellent mandi rice and meat. Very tasty grilled fish. Chicken was good too. The yogurt salad was not that good.
