مطعم المكلا الأول للمندي - البطينة

Simple go to place of you want to have good food with high value. They serve fish, chicken and meat dishes. Taste is good and prices are excellent. Highly value for money, recommended of you don't want to spend a lot. Their chicken Mandi and Madhbi are excellent.

I recently visited Al Makala Al Awal Restaurant in the Al Buteen area, and it turned out to be a great experience overall. I ordered the Chicken Madbi, and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve had — especially considering the price, just 18 AED. 🍗 Food Quality & Taste The Chicken Madbi was full of flavor and had that real Arabic taste, because the chefs and staff are all from Yemen, which gives the food an authentic traditional touch. The chicken was nicely grilled with a smoky aroma and perfectly balanced spices. Mine was a bit on the dry side, but still very tasty and enjoyable. The rice was soft, aromatic, and perfectly cooked — each grain separated, with a hint of light seasoning that paired beautifully with the grilled chicken. They also gave extra rice for free when I asked, which was really generous. The meal also came with a spicy red chutney, a bowl of soup, and a fresh salad (with lemon, cucumber, carrot, and green leaves). When I got my food packed, they even added extra rice in the takeaway box without me asking — a very nice gesture that shows their hospitality. 🍵 Extras They serve free tea, which was a pleasant surprise. The tea was hot and flavorful — a perfect way to end the meal. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Ambience & Service The restaurant has a separate family hall, which makes it comfortable for families to dine in. The place is clean and simple, giving off a homely and welcoming vibe. The service was a little slow, but the staff were very polite, respectful, and friendly. Their behavior was excellent and they made sure I was satisfied with everything. 🚗 Parking & Accessibility There is parking available, so you don’t have to worry about finding a spot. It’s convenient whether you’re dining in or picking up takeaway. 💰 Value for Money For just 18 AED, you get a complete, satisfying Arabic meal — grilled chicken, rice, soup, salad, and tea. The portions are generous, and the quality is great for the price. ✅ Overall Rating Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Authenticity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Service: ⭐⭐⭐☆ (3.5/5) Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) Value for Money: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) 📝 Final Verdict Al Makala Al Awal Restaurant offers authentic Yemeni Arabic food at an affordable price. The Chicken Madbi was delicious and genuinely traditional in flavor. Although the service can be a bit slow, the staff’s kindness, the great taste, and the overall hospitality make it absolutely worth visiting — especially for families. Highly recommended for anyone who loves real Arabic-style Mandi and Madbi!

الصراحة انا دائما اتغدا عندهم انصحكم بزيارته ولن تندم والأسعار ممتازة جدا

The food is correct But the waiters lack manners I ask him tea but he reply that I was not his job to bring tea All the others restaurant bring tea but this one is a special case Furthermore, he refuse one time to bring soupe to my children arguing that he will need to clean (my children never make a mess) So I do not recommend this restaurant until they waiters changed their behavior

اسوء مطعم للمندي...فرع الغبيبة ممتاز ..فرع البوطينة سيء مرتين اطلب مندي يوصل مظبي ...الدجاج قديم وبارد ...فعلا دون المستوى

Great Place for Mandi and other Rices. Decent Service and Generous Portions. Good Pricing

الطعم جيد لكن الارز عادي الاجواء داخل المطعم سيئة الحمامات قذرة ومغاسل اليدين

I saw so many average comments , but honestly whenever we go there it’s always good to. There is a humble waiter from Bangladesh. May God bless him . His service is very good . Overall good experience. Food is good and taste is amazing . Must try . May not be best on customer service but food is way too good . Try chicken and mutton mandi

Al Mukkala Al Awal Mandi Restaurant. New mandi restaurant in Butina area serving all kind of mandi, madfoon and kabsa. Staff are friendly. Parking is available. Price is affordable. Hygiene 4/5. Surely will come again. They have delivery as well.

ماشاالله اكل حلو وسعر مناسب

من احسن المطاعم في الامارات سعر وطعم بجد

الاكل حلو والمكان كويس والسعر كويس جدا

I've ordered from Al Mukkala Mandi over five times and was always impressed with the food quality—until my last experience. The man taking orders at the car was very rude. I ordered 3 platters of mandi but forgot to mention I’d pay with a card instead of cash. When he brought the order and I told him I’d pay with a card, his response was unpleasant, saying, 'Why don’t you say that first? How many times do I have to go back and forth?' On top of that, he was holding a cigarette, and the smoke was unbearable, especially since I had my wife and 2-year-old child with me. This experience was disappointing and not what I expected from a place I usually enjoy.

لذيذ والخدمة ممتازة والسعر مناسب جدا ❤️

Tasty Food very nice

والله احسن مطعم في شغل المندي

اسوأ خدمه من مطعم. الموظفين العاملين في المطعم فيهم استهتار ويصرخون بينهم دون تحشيم الزبائن.. بعد الطلب تنتظر نص ساعه ولا يقدموا حتى المقبلات

Good food and good test

Very delicious food with very nice team management and very reasonable price in Ramadan they keep to promote and provide iftar meal with cheap price also if someone need to purchase that they will provide in under budget price
