Scrans raves about the lamb mandi, calling it the standout dish at Sai Kitchen. The overall vibe is one of warm, hearty satisfaction.
“This lamb mandi is incredible. The lamb is cooked with the rice inside a tandoor, so tender it falls off the bone. It's up there in my top five meals on the channel. The rice is fluffy and there are two sauces: a tomato based one and another. So so tender.”
