Me and my wife had one of most delicious meals in all of Bournemouth! The lamb mandi was so succulent and falls of the bone. The rice was very well seasoned and complimented the soft meat pieces. It really was a highlight for us, had we known about it earlier we would have lunched here every day. The chef was very accommodating and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend to local gem!

Had lamb Rib and chicken mandi, fantastic and very authentic test. Must visit again. Very small eating area and full of students. So go early if you would like to eat in. Bournemouth is a good place for Beaches and parks take a takeaway and beat the queues and enjoy the nature.

The food here is absolutely amazing. The smoked meat just falls off the bone. If you are in Bournemouth, you must try them! The service was great and quick - Eyad the owner is a great guy and he is very welcoming. See you soon and thanks again Eyad!

This shop only open for few hours as tbey sell out very quickly. One of the best Mandi I had in UK. The owner Eyad is so generous and keep asking you if you need more rice. I ordered Chicken and lambi mandi and he gave me not only extra rice but Lamb ribs too. Very fresh and tasty ans the sauces are good to go with it if you like spicy food.Would come again whenever I ll visit Bournemouth
