Good overall, it's just I could only eat probably half of the goat meat I got. Overall good meal though

I have been coming to eat this Somalian food for a few years. My favorites dishes are the goat and rice and beefsteak. Quality is either good to great depending on the day. The servers are kind.The place is worn down, yes. The bathroom even more so. But we come for the food and we haven't been disappointed once. Give it a try if you like Somalian food (there aren't many other options in this state), or if you are hoping to try a new cuisine.

Guys I’ll genuinely be honest do not trust this mean and rude miss comments that some racist and people who’s not happy with this good people’s food services. They are very culturally friendly and their food is tastier than a food that I have ever or you will ever taste! You don’t trust this review? I dare you! Go and try for your self and please leave a review of honesty btwy I’m a costumer who eats once every week #truckers ❤️Parking: I usually come with a truck and trailer and I take the chance and risk to get towed just to get my food as a to go

Some Ugandan friends took us to this restaurant. The food was delicious! We had a whole spread of different plates and enjoyed it all. The African chai tea was one of the best chai teas I've ever had.

Food was pretty good, but the service and the prices are a bit sketchy. It seemed way too expensive and the menu has no prices on it. Service was super slow as well.
Sketchy as hell. Disgusting place. Loud people yelling at us. Took them 30 min to even get us water. Don't ever use your card got up charged had to pay 60 dollar for 3 meals. Horrible place don't give them business.

The owner is so nice and a people person. Their pasta Obama with beef is to die for. It’s also very affordable. The place is too chaotic on the weekends but on the weekdays, it is a good hide away ❤️

Love love love!! It's a MUST EAT and a place that definitely deserves more recognition! Every dish was so GOOD and FULL OF FLAVOR. I really enjoyed the fried fish of the day, chicken tikka, chicken shawarma, goat, lamb shank, and the rice was so memorable. Every bite was giving me the happy food dance! There were some language challenges with the server, but the chef came out, and he was so kind and friendly. We were very excited and couldn't wait to try all of the dishes after ordering. This East African and halal restaurant has had multiple owners and the current ownership has done an incredible job with the menu. It is very simple with wonderful signature dishes but all of the dishes are a must order. We enjoyed every single one, but the fried fish of the day and moist and flavorful chicken definitely stood out and had an amazing green chili sauce served with it. The hot sauce was a light green colored chili sauce was such a great compliment to each dish and totally elevated the burst of flavor. I think it's the basbaas hot sauce. So good! I could eat it on everything! Another note was that the chicken dishes were so moist and perfectly cooked. Most of the meat dishes fell off the bone. I really hope to go back with friends so they can explain and share more details about some of the amazing halal dishes that we had. I'm not so sure what was in the "veggie" soup but it was so yummy and I would go there just for coffee, the soup and a sambusa for a quick lunch or snack. The spices and flavors were incredible! The chef shared that there were lots of different types of veggies in the soup, but it definitely had some sort of flavor of lamb or goat in addition to the amazing veggies and spices. After leaving we also stopped at the Mandeeq Cafe for some STRONG and bold coffee. I have been to the restaurant over the years and one of the best features about the restaurant is that there are so many elements of Chinese design and decor throughout the space. Prior to being a destination halal restaurant in a diverse corridor it was a Chinese restaurant for a very long time. I love enjoying the African delicious entrées from Mandeeq and looking at the ceiling tiles with lots of Asian influence. Makes my heart happy that this incredible restaurant exists and occupies a space with elements of Asian decor too. The restaurant is definitely a no-frills and could use some upgrades, but that's part of the charm. I also love that it's a very busy community space and you see lots of different members of the community going in for lunch or a snack or even just a quick coffee. Another note is that sometimes there is a language barrier, but the service and staff is just so incredibly friendly and kind. Be patient, open minded and kind. Please be respectful of the halal restaurant and enjoy the amazing cuisine that Mandeeq has been serving our global community since 2008.
