One of that restaurant that serves Authentic Emirati cuisine at its Best. A very Family oriented restaurant with lots and lots of privacy. There are normal seating and majlis seating available. As we got seated came the fattoush Salad had the epic taste of sour and sweetness and freshness. After that we were served with Adas Soup, Red Lentil Soup, again one of the best I ever had. Not too creamy not too watery and not too thick. Mix grill, Meat Madhfoon, Lamb Mandi and Kalabat Chicken. All the rice dishes were truly outstanding and flavours oozing in every morsel, all types of meat were cooked to perfection. Star of the day was The Kalabat Chicken, basically a sizzling Chicken but in a more Curry form bursting with all lip smackingly deliciousness.
Every wholesome meal has to end with coffe or tea and Dates for the Digestion to do Good ,,,😃😃😃

Lamb, goat and what not. Perfectly serving all the non veg cuisines in their own way. The staff is very attentive and helpful. We were delighted to be here and taste the food. I highly recommend this for Mandi lovers. Beef is also available in variety.

One of the best mandis in dubai believe it or not. Their service and food is exceptional. A lot of space to sit around and you can spend a lot of time eating and sitting there. Food is always fresh no matter what. Must try.

Mandi and kabsa rice are perfectly cooked. My favorite is Shafooth and saloona khudar. They serve lamb lentil soup and salads for all meal service. The yemini tandoor bread is very crispy and huge in size.

been to this amazing restaurant today. simply loved the food. I dont know the names of half the dishes that i had , since they were arabic names, the food was super tasty. We tried the vegetable soup which came with a mix of tomato and chili on the side, which we should mix as per our taste of spice .Just awsmmmm. The came the cheese and tomato raita along with a potato and drumstick dish with roti. this was served in hot stone utensil, sizzling hot. this came with light green sauce, that was amazing too.
i was full by then, but host had ordered mutton and rice, mutton was to die for. must for mutton lovers. it was soft ,juicy and literally melts in the mouth. this comes on a bed of rice with fried onions.
Finally the desert, this was bread pudding style with smashed bread, black seeds ,cream & milk with bowl of Honey. this again is served hot in a stone utensil. the entire bowl of honey is to be poured in ,mixed and then you should have it. Its not sugary sweet but very natural sweet.

A great choice for traditional food. It gets very busy and it’s well worth it. Tried their fish sayadiyah which was amazing, as for the lamb makhmood it was good but I’ve tried better. Which really amazed me was their biryani, it was absolutely delicious and a must try. They also have private family seatings so it’s good for the family.

The usual trend of being new in Dubai is to go and try the famous GCC meal 'Mandi'. I am not fan of mandi but I am in love with all the type of rice this restaurant does. Zourbian chicken, Zourbian shrimps, chicken biryani, hanith lamb and lamb madfoun what I tried. All were exceptional. Hats off

Well i havent tried any thing bad in this restaurant. Everything just taste so good. From meat to chicken to fish, everything is cooked to perfection. Well I’ve seen a lot of locals and arabs eating in this place, so i guess they do serve really good arabic food without changing the recipe to fit the international market.

This place is too good...I'm not sure if this the same chain as in Dammam but the food and service is really up to the mark. The staff is courteous and the service is par excellence. The style of cooking madfoon however varies from the one I usually go to (i.e. Madfoon Al Khaimah) but the mandi (both lamb and chicken) is worth a drive.
The parking (RTA) is not a problem at all. I regard it really important feature for any good restaurant.

Awesome place and food. They have family section too where in you can sit down and have a quiet meal in privacy of small cabins. The madhbi is a must try and the lamb zurbiyan. The meat literally falls off the bone. You should also not come out if this place without having the ma'soob, which is a sweet made of banana and I think oats. It's topped with Yemeni honey which makes it taste very very yummy.

When your tummy roar like a lion and your craving for a grilled lamb but then the place you used to dine is an hour away. What would you do? This is where the google maps plays the role of a "restaurant finder."
We saturated Al Barsha 1 just to locate a certain place, but what we found was Al Romansiah, a mandi/mazbi restaurant. I was not fascinated by the place and didn't expect much about the quality of their food.
When they served me my grilled lamb, great astonishment registered on my face...disbelief of what I saw. A HUGE serving of food that would probably for 2 persons. 😱 But they said only good for one.
So, I started checking it and wow it's smells really yummy. The taste is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Superb! Exquisite! I just so loved it and will definitely recommend it to my networks. 👍😍

This is one of the best mandi places I have ever had. The food is extremely flavorful. The complimentary lamb soup is simply amazing. We ordered the lamb chops and fish mandi - it didn’t disappoint at all. The food comes along with roti/bread - this is the best bread I have ever had.

Excellent Mandi, and related dishes including the massive Rateb breads, conveniently located in Barsha, food in consistent with good service but what I like best is the ambience for Mandi-like food in Dubai with a table with a road view - not like regular Mandi places which are often overcarpeted (although not denying that must have experience for first timers), Ample parking. Prices are probably 10% more than other similar places in the area. Also haven’t seen chicken Zorbian at any other Mandi place yet, most places have only the meat option.

It was our first time at the restaurant. It was clean and space is good. Servers were fast and attentive too. We had the meat zurbiyan, haneedh dhulu, fish biryani and kalabat prawns. We love the meat zurbiyan especially the rice. It was really good. The haneedh dhulu was tender and soft. The fish biryani has a very good portion. Can be shared between 2 persons. It was also delicious. The kalabat prawns was flavorful. It was to be eaten with a huge flatbread. I love the bread especially when it was warm. We would definitely come back as the food were good and portions were very reasonable for the price.

This has to get a full rating. It’s been my favourite go to restaurant to eat when I’m in a mood for Mandi. This is among the best in Dubai. I’ve tried all on the menu and everything is great. The Madfoon is special and not many places make it like this restaurant.

They had a branch in Al Baraha named Qasr Al Saba. I have been once to this restaurant good ambience, friendly staff, spacious but unfortunately my favorite dish "Meat madfoon" was not available at that time but going with the taste of Qasr Al Saba it is awesome. They had nice amount of masala on it which is just delicious.

One of the first Yemeni joint i tried in Dubai and it was just an awesome experience. Ordered a meat arayes which was accompanied by a huge soft bread, authentic as it should be. Then a portion of mandi for my partner. Both the dishes came out well. Mandi rice was well flavored with the meat just perfectly cooked which came in with this tomatoes greens sauce. Next day evening went again with a friend and family to try their majlis dining and ordered madhbi as well as few meaty dishes. Wrapped the session with a live station kunafa. :) Just a treat to be there..!

To rate, quality of the food fantastic, service was slightly slow but in action, ambiance good, value for money ok.

Lamb Mandi

One of the best Mandi in town.
A bit high priced but worth the taste.
Served with traditional YAKHNI (plain soup) which is a good tasting starter.

Service is also good.
Have a separate sitting area for families.
Traditional Mandi eating area.

I have heard about Al Romansiah from colleagues and friends many times, however, I finally had my lunch there yesterday. What can I say? My first time ever in a Yemeni eatery. Very neat and clean interiors. They had both conventional seating and Arabic 'majlis'. I saw people from all nationalities eating as well as Europeans taking away their orders with them. I ordered lentil soup, cacik and rice. I was surprised when the waiter brought many free add-ons like salad and another bowl of different soup. The rice serving alone was enough for 4-5 people! Delicious food served in generous portions and the waiters were very polite. To top it up, the bill was hardly AED 35 and this price is only for cheese sticks in other eateries. I highly recommend it. It was worth every dirham and every minute.

One of my favorite go to Mandi place when I crave for madfoon. It’s a steamed chicken dish that I love to eat every few days. I call Mandi places as Mc Donald’s of Middle East, I grew up in Dubai but never had Mandi 6-7 years before. The trend in Mandi places popped up literally like mushrooms. There are many mashrooms (I mean Mandi places) in barsha but my favorite is Romansiah, food is amazing, ambience is clean and nice. Parking is ample and location is very convenient.

Amazing MashaAllah barakAllah, really the best madhfun so far. The lamb was succulent falling off the bomes and the the spice was to the point. They use quality rice which was cooked very nicely. Soups were better than I was ever served in a mandi restaurant . I also ate meat mandi which was lovely too along with all the salads. This was my second visit and many more to come. Insha Allah. Hope they keep up with the quality so we can bring more guests 💕💕

Okay so this isn't an easy review to do. The food is good in taste and quality. I felt that the place is a bit odd, but that's probably cause I am a westerner and not used to this type of thing. Nice setting where you can kick off shoes and sit on the ground and eat. Really traditional. Menu is very traditional with no description but luckily it has pictures next to each dish si its cool. Service was slow. If you order bread as a side dish, they send you enough to feed a nation. Food portions are big and tasty. If you want a culture change while dining, definitely pop in here

A really great place for Mandy and Madhfoun with great flavours and meat. The staff are very friendly and the food comes quick.
Foodie Recommendations:
Chicken Mandy or Madhfoun both have delicious rice but the Madhfoun has great spicing and flavour, super delicious!
The complimentary soup is also very good.
Also really recommend their bread, fattouch salad and Arabic salad. A great location in Al Barsha with easy access to parking opposite.

This is one of the better Mandi places that I have tried in Dubai. Here's why :
1. The food here is amazing. I wish they had larger tables because the kind of food that you are eating it does not justify the current table size. I recommend you sit and eat in the majlis area ( some friends had problems getting up after the meal though)
2. You have to try the meat madhfoon that is I believe their speciality and goes out of stock quickly.
3. The roti/ bread is HUGE and can be sufficient for 3 people and is very well made.
4. The soup, hummus, grills are equally well made and make a good accompaniment to the Mandi which is the star of the meal.
5. The service is a bit slow and you have to do a fair bit of wait - but the food makes up for it
6. Airy and bright the place makes you feel really ready for a heavy meal.

Romansiah - is one of the more amazing restaurants in dubai - that offers authentic yemeni mandi. The dish to order there - however is not Mandi - it is Haneeth - side ( a full carcass of Ribs) with rice. IT can feed two - so its value for money - but what more it is outstanding. please dont order it - just go and eat fresh.

Ladies and Gentlemen, our dear reviewers, I learned that every person seriously basis the rating based on one experience and it is difficult to be convinced that the rating is fair.

The rating of the restaurant is seriously unfair based on my repeated visit to this restaurant. I have been here three times and the food is unbelievably delicious!!! I know our local dishes and for us this is by far one of the best yemeni restaurants you would ever experience!

The Haneeth Janb "Ribs" is a must and I'm really not interested to try anything else as I want to have it every time I visit this place! Enjoy it and thank me later!! Try also the pomegranate juice! Free Yemeni tea at the end is a nice closure ;)

How was the food?
Yummy!
Ordered the chicken madhfoun and meat zurbiyaan for ifthar. It is enough to feed a family. The portions are huge!

How was the ambience?
We were seated in a private room which had an Arabian style. There was a curtain, a bell to call for any queries, and the best of all we were seated on the carpeted floor

How was the staff?
Very polite

How was the price?

I don't know why this restaurant has such low reviews - this is my go-to for lamb mandy rice! The mandy rice is nice and rich, not too dry like other places, and the lamb is delicious and full of flavor.

The food quality is great and my favorite has to be the Chicken Madhby without a doubt. The soup that comes along with the order just compliments the rest of the meal and the quantity is more than enough for its price so I'll say its economical as well. My only suggestion is that they should give more chutney's along with the meal.
