Ys Mandi - Tempe
Ys Mandi
Description
Tucked near ASU, this no‑frills family restaurant offers bold Yemeni and African dishes—chicken biryani, lamb and goat mandi, falafel and hummus—with generous portions, warm service and floor-or-table seating. Loyal diners praise authentic, well‑spiced flavors and hearty value, but multiple serious sanitation and pricing concerns have been reported (flies/roaches, dirty surfaces, possible food‑safety issues and menu price discrepancies). Consider it for flavorful, homey meals but confirm cleanliness and final prices before dining.

Feedback
My partner is a picky eater, but he absolutely loves this restaurant, and so do I. It has quickly become my favorite place to dine.
Great service and fresh made food
The African cuisine is incredibly satisfying. It's a great spot to relax and unwind. The service was warm and attentive. The ambiance of the place is inviting and pleasant.
This place is a hidden gem located at the heart of ASU. Interestingly, it's no longer called Juba, and you won't find that name on the front door. It's a simple, no-frills family restaurant, but the food is incredible. My friend ordered goat mandi, and I went for the chicken. Everything was tender and juicy, with perfectly balanced spices that didn't overpower the flavors. We will definitely be returning!
Great location for african food. Visited on a Thursday. Certainly worth a return visit. Bring your hunger portions are filling. Food and atmosphere reminds me of Kansas City.
