Mandi House

"An invaluable addition to the diverse Tempe food scene, Mandi House is a Yemeni-focused restaurant that draws inspiration from the entire Arabian Peninsula. The menu at Mandi House is largely centered around Yemeni rice dishes, along with a few Levantine (the eastern Mediterranean region) dishes like maqlooba—a rice dish layered with vegetables and meat that’s flipped from a bowl and served as a heaping dome. Over the years, Mandi House has incorporated other Middle Eastern and North African dishes like hummus and falafel as well. In true Yemeni style, they offer both floor seating and traditional booths and tables, and the food always comes with a cup of complimentary tea." - Mcconnell Quinn
