Al Yahar - Best place in Al Ain for your Arabic Mandi rice. Al Yahar is very old restaurant in Al Ain city. They having separate family dining space.
Always jam packed during weekends.You need to wait for get seated. They have majilis option in upstairs. We ordered Mutton mandi and Chicken Madhbi. They serves both in a single plate. Mutton was very fresh and soft.
I could claim one of the best Mandi tried from UAE. Definitely this place is the best in Al Ain. Their rates very reasonable for the food.
Strongly recommended for foodies.

Hands down best mandi place in AlAin. It’s always crowded which is both a good and bad thing. It means the food is good but seating might be limited. Their chicken and meat are so tender and rice is fluffy. Service is quick, expect your food to reach there in 10 mins. I made lots of good memories there. Great place to try authentic food if you are going with your friends.
Nice ambiance, famous place for Mandi lovers and provides excellent service to their costumers by serving good food.Today I had mutton Mandi which was good and also chicken faham which was too good.

Nice ambiance, famous place for Mandi lovers and provides excellent service to their costumers by serving good food with friendly staffs which are responsive and actively responds on placed orders.
Al yahar Restaurant. A famous place for Mandi lovers. Being there couple of times. Love their Mandi.
Tried their fish Mandi, chicken Mandi, mutton Mandi, faham chicken, salads, soft drinks. Service is quiet slow and ambience is okay ish.
Today I had mutton Mandi which was good and also chicken faham which was too good. Service was slow they take long time to bring water after asked them thrice. Neatness could be improved. Overall a decent place to have Mandi with family and friends.

We like the chicken and the spicy tomato salsa. We normally bring some pita as they only serve rice. It is a good authentic arabic restaurant. It is one of those hidden gems around al ain
A friend recommended me with. And it's was an amazing recommendation I must say.
Sitting on tables and majlish for friends and separate for families.

I ate mandi for the first time.
Laham mandi...
Sat on the floor and ate with hands that's the traditional way.
Absolutely yummy long grains of rice with pieces of meat. Super delicious.
Served with Arabic style salsa n salad.
Burrppp.... Over ate.
Al Yahar - One of the oldest and most famous mandi places in Al Ain. The mandi here is the best you can find in the city.
The place just another mandi restaurant with traditional and table seatings. They also have a separate section for families with female servers.
I regularly visit them whenever I crave for mandi and have tried the fish, mutton and chicken. The food is always fresh which is consistent in taste and huge quantity. The best thing I like here is their flavorful and aromatic rice. It's cooked to perfection. It's soft, fluffy and yet not sticky. The tomato sauce is well prepared which is tangy and spicy.
As one enjoys the meal the servers generously top-up the rice. The price is reasonable as well.
Al Yahar is a very popular restaurant, specializing in ‘mendi’ dishes - as you drive past, there are normally cars double- and triple-parked. The restaurant also does a roaring take-away business, with its enormous platters of rice and lamb being ideal to serve large families or gathering of friends. Inside, the restaurant is large but sparsely decorated, and actually quite drab - but people come on to eat, and not to admire any art on the walls! And eat they do! Large servings of rice: mountains! Large chunks of lamb: bones and all! All succulently slow-cooked in pits, for hours, until the meat just falls off the bone and into your mouth!
If ur looking for a nice mandhi and mazbhi dis place i will recommend on u..their chicken mazbhi is great..the price is little xpensive but its worth the taste..
Do not dine in. Its good for mandy and madhbi, but you should definitely try a full sheep. Go to the livestock market, buy a sheep for 800 DHS, cook it at this restaurant and you easily feed 20 people. Amazing. Make sure to add boiled eggs and cashew nuts in the rice.
Z best Arabic restaurant in al ain but this isn't the actual menu they have changed the menu they have a local meat local chicken the are almost good tnx al yahar
One of the most liked places of mine. You can experience that royal dining facilities at their first floor. If you're with family and friends, ask for a room, which is on first floor and you'll enjoy the experience.
The best Mandi Place in town, although there madfoon and fish is equally great. Good place for takeaways too. Very cost effective as well. Adjacent to jahili park. So best one for a full family outing.
In Al Ain, if anyone feels like having a proper Mandi, this is the only place to go to. Have been going here for years and I have never been disappointed. I have even tried Mandi's all across UAE but none are even close to their taste.
One of the oldest and best mandi in town -
I just had mandi have not tried anything else

The first time I ate mandi biryani is in this restaurant, if your looking for an Arabic food AL yahar is the place to be.. Good food, nice service..ambiance just a typical simple restaurant. But the quality of food is 👌...
Good thing before I transferred here in Abu Dhabi, I experienced the taste of mandi biryani of AL yahar...
This is the best place to cook traditional food in Alain. The food is outstanding, the portions are huge and the price is definitely worth it.
I would recommend this place for anyone who is a true foodie.
من اروع مطاعم العين ومن اجودها .. اليحر
اطباق وطعم رائع وما اختلف مع الايام طعمو المميز مابخلي اللي اكل منو ينساه او يستغني عنو
المندي رووعة
Always been a good place to share chicken biryani w friends 🍗 👯♂️👫 the staffs are accommodating, not too crowded and they do have a private/family room.
As a foreigner I was always hesitant about Arabic food. However this place blew me away. The food is godly and portions are massive. I highly recommend you visit the next chance you get!
Al Yahar is my first & best ever Mandi in uae.Taste of their mandi is very unique and i l never forget the taste . If you are in Alain and you like Mandi means don't miss this place.
This place is an Al Ain institution. If Mandi is your thing and you're in Al Ain, you cannot skip a trip to Al Yahar.
Prices are very reasonable, and the quantities are rather large. Their grilled chicken with rice is also good. You get your food within 2 minutes. Considering the quantity of the food, the salsa you get for free is not enough; it's worth asking for a few more packets of the spicy tomato salsa (it's blandish meat & rice after all) and paying the extra bucks.
Yahar is one of the best spots in alain to have traditional food at alain.
The location is quite easy to reach and the place has got a family section upstairs. A must go restaurant if you are looking for a tasty traditional dish.
It's good place to get decent mandi in affordable price . I prefer takeaway and don't forget to ask for extra sauce . I prefer mutton Mandi in general .

Quite nice restaurant, been customer for so many years. The taste is the same (especially the Chicken Mandi) and so are the prices. Life saving in Ramadan

Hellooooo beautiful people, mood for Mandi and this is one of my favorite place serving great food.
The first ever mandi tasted and loved it.. It's my favorite place to have Mutton Mandi. The rating is purely on Plate mandi and you need to order well in advance and the wait is worth it because the food will be awesome. Also they serve good Fish, mutton and chicken mandi for normal dining...
During weekends it's filled up with dining customers and takeaway customers.

Speciality : Mandi paradise
Overall experience : Excellent place for Mutton Mandi.
I must say that the food is awesome, but the place need super renovation for sure, just one wash room for men in such a crowded place is disappointing. . Mutton was perfectly cooked (well done) rice was accurate and tasty. Will surely go back when visiting Al Ain again
Good mandi place. Grilled chicken and rice with fried onions is a total yum. Good service. Separate family areas enable ladies n kids to enjoy the food. Friday afternoons are definitely crowded and so the service is a bit slow.
من أشهر مطاعم الوجبات الشعبية في العين وأقدمها. مؤسس هذا المطعم ابو صبري والمطعم كان يشتهر في العين بهذا الاسم نسبة إليه. خرجت بعده العديد من المطاعم لكن لا زال مطعم اليحر يأتي في المقدمة لخبرته الكبيرة في السوق.
أنصح بالنسبة للاشخاص الذين يبحثون عن السعر والجودة في آن واحد.
In my stay in UAE for the seven long years, this place was too good. I have never written a review before. This place is a must visit when you travel to Al Ain.
It was a nice experience having mandi lunch in Arabic style. Food is fresh, tasty and authentic. It's an experience that everyone should have. Grilled chicken and rice is their signature dish. Absolutely zero waiting time. The food is served in less than two minutes after ordering. It's a busy place so go early to have lunch on time. Usually people used to buy meals to go, but dinning in the restaurant is a good experience.
One of the oldest restaurants in the city and doing great for a reason
It's great
Local food sold at a great price
Affordable and delicious
We were visiting alain city on this Tuesday so we took advantage to go to this restaurant. Food was good. They have family section. Price is responsible. Sure will come again on my next visit to Alain.
Best mandi in uae,
But don't try madfoon.
One of the best places in Al Ain for Mandi, reasonably priced, the quantity & quality of their rice and meat is good , will highly recommend this place for mandi lovers
مطعم للاكلات الشعبية والخليجية اذا انت من محبي المندي هذا مطعمك المفظل لكن اطلب اللحم المحلي وعنده سمك فرش في التنور حلو بعد مطعم يفظل للغداء لان وجباته ثقيله شوي
As always they serve one of best Mandi is UAE. The fish is always fresh, the rice is very well cooked with fried onions garnsished and really adds to the taste. Tried konafa for the 1st time here and that's also pretty delicious. Overall yet another delightful food. The only downside is it's not for families and the ambience is not great, but who cares if the food is clean and tasty.
Its Alain's trademark, because its only located here.
Their mandi chicken and meat dishes are to die for!!
If you are looking for am affordable forfilling meal drag urself there.
Its not proper for girls pr families to sit at the place but takeaways will do.
Ever best for mandi Majboos type of food located in Al ain.the best thing is pay money and collect parcel as the restaurant is always busy.when ever we eat from here taste remains same.Excellent food guys
This place does no need any introduction. Not only in Al Ain but the most popular Mandi Restaurant in UAE. It serves plain good mandi varieties with great taste. Oh and cheap too. A plate filled with rice and juicy chicken piece just for 15 dhs. What else would one want?
One of the oldest and reputed restaurant in town serving yemeni / emirati cuisine. The most popular dishes available there are Mandi & Harees which is available almost throughout the day after 11 AM. They also take orders for Tanour (whole lamb cooked underground for several hours with rice). Do not go on Friday afternoons as it is very crowded. Seating in the restaurant is traditional on the ground and on regular tables . Highly recommended and pocket friendly.
It's one of those places that represent UAE national cooking. If your tourist in UAE n you didn't come to eat here you not only missed out national food but also missed true culture atmosphere.
Try the mandi mutton, my favorite please order the fresh one.
Try getting extra sauce. I already miss it while writing this review.
I will go this weekend.
مطعم يمني الاكل لذيذ المطعم واسع دا فيه جلسات ارضيه وجلسات في الطاولات مزدحم اسعار مناسبه الباركنات ليست مجانيه للاسف يصلح للعائله والأصدقاء وينقذ في الاوقات الحرجه
اكل لذيذ وممتاز جدا والمكان واسع ونظيف.......
Very delicious food ... try fish mandi
My favorite restaurant ever I used to go there in my childhood around 28 years ago still very tasty 😋 you must try ..مطعم اليحر عشقي محافظ على الطعم والجودة من أكثر من
28 سنة الاكل لذيذ وأنصح فيه جدا ..
ممتاز وأكله طازج ولذيذ... والجميل فيه الآن هو قسم العوائل المعاد تنظيمه من ناحية الغرف والتكيييف... عندي ملاحظه صغيره فقط وهي موعد افتتاح المطعم يوم الجمعة يجب أن يكون بعد الصلاة مباشره وليس الساعة 1:40 وقت طويل ونحن ننتظر وخاصة للمسافرين
Even Japanese people also like rice of them
I have friends from deferent countries so when I invited them and don't have time to make food, so Al Yahar modern is the only one which I bring rice from them,so please check experience.

لدي أصدقاء من دول مختلفة ، لذلك عندما دعوتهم ولم يكن لدي وقت لإعداد الطعام ، لذا فإن اليحر الحديث هو الوحيد الذي أحضر منه الأرز ، لذا يرجى التحقق من التجربة.
رخيصة الثمن ،
كمية كبيرة✅
جودة عالية ✅

من اقدم مطاعم العين واشهرها…
صار معلم من معالم العين
مثل مطعم راشد علي 😁
حتى الهنود والفلبينيين يسألون عنه
يموتوا ويجربوا المندي 😂
ولكن مايميزه الجلسات العائليه والمساحات الكبيره فقط ❗
وبالنسبه للطعم .. فيه على يمينه مطاعم تنافسه بالطعم مثل الدانه وسبأ او بلقيس …… 👍
