All foods served are good and very tasty. Hospitality is also very good. Especially mutton madfoon and dates banana fattah with cream is awesome
My lookout for best Mandis, Madhbis & Madhfouns in Dubai ended after i visited Arab Islands.
Hence I rate Arab Islands among the top 5 Mandi restaurants in Dubai.
The transformation from when i first sat in this small yemeni mandi restaurant to the day has been quite well taken by the management. Furniture & the look has changed over a due course. Old Chairs & tables have been refurbished or replaced by the new one. But their food remains the same, same taste same service levels.
You must try the following at Arab Islands,
1. Saltah Fassa,
2. lahm mandi,
3. lahm madbi,
4. lahm bourma
5. Fish Grilled Mandi is the best (Cherri Fish) when it comes to seafood.
6. Seal it with a Creamy Khounafah
Also, off late inclusions like Lahm Hanith has taken Arab Islands in the league of the best mandi served in Dubai.
Highly recommended if you need restaurant which serves the best Mandi in town

Absolutely love the Chicken Madbi here. Comes along with soup, tomato salsa and onions. Also tried the Banana Fatta, which was good. Generous portions at a really good price. They also offer free home delivery, which is nice as this place is good only for take-aways, ambience is average.
I always order chicken madhbi from this place...the home delivery is really quick..the price is also cheap...looking forward to try out their other dishes as well.
My number one go-to place in Dubai for Yemeni cuisine; the best mandi, madhbi and zrebyan in town, and the cheapest also., the main course: fish, chicken or mutton is served with a humongous amount of delicious mandi rice, sallouna (veggie gravy), lemon and onion slices, meat soup and hareesa ( hot chilli and tomato paste) on the side.
All the aforementioned items can be refilled for free upon request except for the main course (the meat, chicken or fish).
Their Qilabah (specially the egg and fava beans variety) is so saciating and an excellent choice for a hearty dinner.
Once you finish eating go to their thermos filled with tea infused with cloves and put a sprig of mint in your cup, drink all you can! The best climax for such strong meals. ( but don't over drink as tea can affect the iron level in your blood).
Very tasty food and good value for money been going there for the last 10 years nice atmosphere really typical Yemeni atmosphere good selection of Arabic food
Excellent value for money! Totally love this place for it's authentic Mandi, Kabsah, Grilled Fish & Burma Lamb. One of the cheap and best place to take away some amazing Arabian food.
You should try the mutton Burma served here and seriously you would just love it especially the special Burma soup. The price is also very reasonable and the Staff are friendly. Not a family restaurant though, the ambience is good and taking your family on a meal should not be a problem.
I have taken my friends on several occasions and they were all praises for the food.
Mutton mandi, chicken mandi quantity is good. Like the mutton shorba they give upfront.. Price reasonable. Ppl with good appetite, have fun.
Oh god PLEASE order the Burma Lamb. Apart from being so, SO tasteful, it is served in a very unique way. AND it includes soup. Go there to see what I mean.
