Stop by Taste Mandi & Madhbi Restaurant in Al Rigga, Deira, near Al Ghurair Centre, if you want to try authentic regional cuisine. In the Gulf, each country has a speciality dish. Mandi is one of them. With roots in Yemen, Mandi is a lightly spiced rice dish accompanied by clay oven-cooked chicken, lamb or fish. This small venue is a firm favourite among the locals.
