Mandina Kitchen - Food VIC

5 /5 Lamis Rafei: This restaurant has become one of my favourite places to enjoy a meal with family and friends. Staff are friendly and the service is top notch. The lamb dishes are to die for! The meat falls off the bone and is so juicy and tasty! Every dish has distinctive authentic Yemeni flavours! The decor and seating adds to that authentic ambience, its like I went overseas to Yemen for dinner! I will definitely be back ❤️

5 /5 Kasun De Silva: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First time dining at Mandina Yemeni Restaurant in Campbellfield, and wow….what an experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambience transported us straight to Yemen. The atmosphere is authentic, warm, and beautifully done. We were served Lamb Mandi followed by Adani Tea, and Umm Ali as the dessert. The Lamb Mandi was perfectly cooked, rich in flavour, and incredibly satisfying. The Adani Tea was comforting and aromatic, and the Umm Ali was the perfect sweet ending, simply outstanding. A special mention to Adil and the team who is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and very customer-focused. Their hospitality made the experience even more memorable. I honestly can’t thank them enough, we enjoyed every bit of it and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Yemeni food and top-notch service!

4 /5 Faisal Haroon: We dined at Medina Kitchen Campbellfield on Friday night — just their second night since opening. It’s a family-run restaurant, and we were really impressed by how the younger family members were engaged and showed such great customer service and hospitality. The restaurant was very busy, but we were lucky to get a family tent outside, beautifully decorated in traditional Yemeni style — it offered excellent privacy and comfort for our whole family. There was a bit of a wait; after about half an hour we were told some of the menu items weren’t available. The owner kindly recommended we try their traditional lamb and chicken Mandi, which turned out to be flavourful and authentic. Although it took quite a while from order to finish (we were the last to leave!), we completely understand it’s only their second night of operation. With time and experience, I’m sure their time management and service flow will improve. Overall, a warm family experience with great potential — we’ll definitely visit again once they settle in!

3 /5 Alwi Moeladawilah: We tried 6 dishes. The food was delicious and something wed come back for, but the portion size was relatively small and the service was friendly but slow. It took 55 minutes before we started receiving our orders. Clearly the kitchen was under-staffed. Lack of utensils (only forks available) and no glass for water. We may try again at a later date hoping for improvements.
