“ Raydan's chicken mohamer - tender, aromatic, and deeply flavorful. A rich, lightly spiced and perfectly balanced. A must-try for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. ”
“ UNPRETENTIOUS authentic Yemeni restaurant. CLEAN! Generous portion sizes. Thoroughly seasoned, salt content was appropriate. Meat was succulent. Hot and hearty meat soup available at a self serve desk. (Bottomless and turns your mouth yellow) Price———?? No wonder the restaurant is bustling. 12 for massive dishes. Mouth watering ACTIVATED just THINKING about the “ remix”kunafa. Standing ovation required. Subtle creamy centre, crispy kataifi, exquisite complementary sweet taste (it’s a remix; not mozzarella and condensed milk used in place of syrup) Ample free street parking. Restaurant resembles a flashback from 2002. Don’t let it bother you, the loudness, hustle and bustle, dated seating is inherently part of the experience. Just too000ooo good, I’ll be back ”
“ The mutton lamb and Hanees chicken were not only visually appealing but also tasted incredible. The mutton portion is generous, especially for the pric definitely worth it. I must mention their avocado and mango shake, which is just 3 and absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a Majlis with full privacy, making it perfect for families. The food and staff are excellent, and I still can’t forget the taste of their lamb mandi. Highly recommended! ”
“ Was recommended this place by a work colleague and a group of 9 of us went. Parking can is available outside with plenty on side streets. Nice friendly vibes and smells emanating inside were delightful. We decided to book a room (can seat around 12 people I reckon and maybe more) and only negative criticism was that we did have to ask on several occasions for place to be cleaned up. This place can get busy. Complimentary soap was the perfect start and a nice touch. Ordered the lamb Zumbina and it was delightful. The meat was succulent and the flavours really lovely. The food arrived very quick and even partook in the chicken brost which I highly recommend. Only item I didn’t enjoy was the fasha and it’s a very distinguished taste. Not for me anyway. Card payments accepted and friendly service. Toilet (only 1) which has a bidet and was clean. Could do with another ideally and washroom facilities also available. A place I enjoyed visiting and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending and returning. ”
“ I recently dined at Raydan Restaurant where we tried both the chicken and lamb Mandi dishes, in addition to enjoying the Agda lamb dish. All of them were exceptional. The Mandi was aromatic and flavorful with perfectly cooked rice that absorbed the spices beautifully while both the chicken and lamb were tender and juicy. The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. The service was friendly which contributed to the overall positive experience. ”
