Guests praise the fresh-baked bread and the Lamb and Chicken Mandi — a clean, highly-rated spot for catering and private dining in Irvine and Riverside, 100% halal.
Looking for authentic Yemeni catering in Orange County — Whole Lamb Mandi and family platters brought to a wedding, corporate lunch, or backyard celebration? Mandi Xpress caters its Irvine and Riverside menus off-site, and it's 100% halal.
Mandi Xpress builds its menu around slow-roasted mandi — fragrant Yemeni rice under lamb or chicken — plus mixed grills, family platters, and fresh-baked Yemeni bread. Beyond the dining room the kitchen caters weddings, corporate events, and family celebrations with Whole Lamb Mandi, Chicken Mandi, and mixed kabob platters, and it takes catering inquiries directly through its own team.
For everyday meals you can order online for pickup or delivery through the restaurant's Toast page, or on DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub, and reserve a table through OpenTable. With two Orange County–area locations — Irvine and Riverside — and a 4.9 Google rating across 260+ reviews, it's a strong pick for halal group catering and family-style Yemeni feasts. It's built for sharing platters and off-site catering rather than a plated, multi-course sit-down.
My goodness this food is delicious! Our 1st time trying Yemeni food and will be back for more. The lamb mandi was incredible, the hummus cannot go wrong, and the bread was phenomenal.
First time eating here and am very impressed. This restaurant is clean and well presented. The half chicken was falling off the bone with an incredible combination of flavors.
We found this amazing restaurant in Riverside! The restaurant was clean and the service was excellent. The food was delicious, the salad was fresh, and the bread was the perfect side.
