Zam Zam Mandi (al Karama) - Dubai

The best mandi in the city. they have the authentic taste. first they serve the suppe, followed by black tee and tilting sweetness at the end.

Great eating, excellent taste, arrangement for families that need to sit separate and in the private sphere. luqaimat and qahwa on the house. Do not forget to visit zabeel park after eating.

This place lies opposite dubai frame. we are there at 10 o'clock. the restaurant was full. but they have a lot of esstic, so we have one. they first served hammelsuppe. then we had mutton mudghout. after eating they served sulphaimani and sweet. we also ordered kunafa. the service was nice. it was not an authentic Arabic taste. but still it was nice enough.

I really like the place the seating arrangements and the family rooms kind of. Such a friendly staff. On weekends it’s a bit crowded so you might wait for a while. The food is really tasty. Must try kunafa its fresh and so cheesy yumm

Once we came out of the Dubai Frame after spending there for a couple of hours, we felt hungry. And as we were passing by Zabeel Park, my son prompted, “Dad, can we go to the other side of the road to try out Mandi at ZamZam?” I nodded in no time. This is the first outlet at Karama centre, Dubai incepted in 2009, just beside Lulu Hypermarket. The Karama one, where we got in, was a two-storied restaurant on the roadside with options to enjoy separate family diners as well. It was lunch time and hence we took a platter combining of Green salad, Raw Hot Chicken Soup, Chicken Mandi and then Kunafa and Sweet Balls as dessert. I find their chicken soup completely different (both in colour and taste) compared to one we’re normally acquainted with in India. This soup is light with no added spice except salt and smells raw meat. Also once you finish off this soup, you feel tremendous hungry. So, Chicken Mandi is an apt choice under the circumstances. Now, what is Chicken Mandi? Mandi, originated from Hadhramaut, Yemen, is a traditional dish. This extremely popular staple dish in the entire Arabian Peninsula is an awesome combination of rice, chicken and a host of spices. Traditionally, Mandi is cooked in a tandoor. And hence, it is considered as healthy since it is prepared in less, or zero oil. Chicken pieces are big, nicely cooked with zero grease and hence get smothered nicely by the softest pressure of a jaw. I had never heard of Kunafa before. It's a traditional Arabian delicacy consisting of kataifi, a spun pastry soaked in sugar syrup and stacked with cheese or other ingredients like clotted cream, almonds, pistachio, rose water, or nuts. It is popular in Egypt, Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans. You feel heavy once you take a bite. My son liked it a lot, Though find it nothing extraordinaire.
