One of the best Arab restaurants in Germany, we ordered Mandi food, the rice was cooked very well and served with the soft and delicious lamb meat. Next to Two types of sauce and meat broth are served, which adds to its taste. Along with rice, it also has almond nuts. It was an amazing experience.Two very delicious salad models made with pomegranate were very interesting. The other food was bread with pieces of meat and potatoes in it. In general, Mandi was more delicious than all of them. Considering the volume of meat and food, the price is fair
