The mendi is delicious. We had the lamb and kabab mendi family plate which comfortably fed 5 people with the side dishes we ordered. The lamb was tender with a generous amount of meat and the kebab was my favorite with a nice char and great smokey flavor. The service is pretty quick for a fresh, home cooked taste. Highly recommend! read more
