Urban Mandi

What is Urban Mandi? Urban Mandi is a specialized Arabian and Hyderabadi restaurant situated on Lapsley Road in Scarborough's Malvern neighborhood. Dedicated to the age-old tradition of mandi—where spiced meats are slow-steamed and smoked over fragrant saffron-tinged basmati rice—the spacious, family-friendly dining room brings genuine Yemeni and Deccan feast culture to eastern Toronto.

Urban Mandi Menu & What to Order The menu is anchored by massive communal mandi platters. The Mutton Juicy Mandi is the crowd favorite, featuring fork-tender bone-in goat shank braised with whole dry spices and served over long-grain rice with spicy tomato salata and cucumber raita. The Charcoal Chicken Mandi delivers a whole chicken infused with charcoal smoke and golden spices, while the spicy Faham Chicken adds fiery chili marinade. Pair your platter with crispy Hyderabadi Chicken 65 and finish with warm, cheese-stuffed Kunafa pastry.

Know Before You Go All meats are 100% halal certified. The restaurant accommodates large family gatherings and celebratory groups with traditional floor seating majlis booths and standard tables. It is open seven days a week from noon until midnight with dedicated customer parking.
