Mandi Xpress | Our Story
Bringing Yemen's table to California
Mandi Xpress was born to share the authentic taste of Yemen — inspired by traditional recipes, family gatherings, and the warm hospitality Yemen is known for. Every meal is made to be passed around the table and savored together.
A mission rooted in community
Mandi Xpress was built around a deep belief: Yemeni cuisine belongs on California tables, shared freely and with pride. Every guest walks in as a stranger and leaves feeling like family.
Mandi at the center
Lamb Mandi and Chicken Mandi — slow-cooked, fragrant, served over aromatic Yemeni rice — are the dishes that define the table here. Every platter arrives garnished and generous, built for a group and impossible to forget.
Fresh bread, every time
Freshly baked Yemeni bread — warm, blistered, perfect for scooping rice and sauce — has always been part of the meal. It's a small detail that says a lot.
Now in Irvine and Riverside
Mandi Xpress now welcomes guests at two California locations — Irvine and Riverside — each serving the same 100% halal menu, generous family-style portions, and hospitality that started it all.
