Wow! Ordered the mixed mandi plate and requested to swap the chicken for a lamb shank with no issues. Reasonable price for size of dish. Tasty food We dined in around lunch time and it was not busy. Atmosphere was family friendly. However, we ate this plate between two people and finished all the meat but there was still at least two big servings of rice left. We packed the leftovers for home and ordered extra meat with for it. I would definitely recommend this place and will be eating there again.

Matam Al Mandi is hands down one of the best places in Sydney to experience authentic Mandi, with a fusion twist that sets it apart. From the moment you step in, the aroma of slow-cooked meats and fragrant rice fills the air, promising a truly satisfying meal. Their fusion Mandi is a standout — perfectly balanced with just the right level of spice to awaken your taste buds without overpowering the dish. Whether it’s the tender lamb, juicy chicken, or a mixed platter, every bite is packed with flavour. The spices are bold yet well-blended, and the rice is light, aromatic, and cooked to perfection. Portions are extremely generous — ideal for sharing, or even tackling solo if you’re extra hungry. It’s the kind of meal that fills both your stomach and your soul. After trying several Mandi spots around Sydney, Matam Al Mandi easily takes the crown.
