Dallas's most viral halal restaurant. Authentic Yemeni mandi — slow-roasted lamb and chicken over fragrant spiced rice, handmade bread from a tandoor oven, and traditional floor seating.
Yemandi opened in April 2025 and became one of the most talked-about restaurants in Dallas almost overnight — a TikTok video racked up nearly 6 million views within weeks. Hidden in a Richardson shopping plaza near Noodle Wave and Afrah, the restaurant serves authentic Yemeni mandi: slow-cooked lamb or chicken over perfectly spiced basmati rice, made from scratch daily. The traditional Sunnah floor-seating booths set it apart from anything else in Dallas. Portions are enormous and designed for sharing — come hungry and bring friends. Only halal meats, always fresh.
