Ys Mandi
4.5 / 5 (177 reviews)

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.

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.

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.
