@nickhamman5: This Yemeni lamb feast cost me R120, and it’s hiding in plain sight in Fordsburg. 🇾🇪 The place is Arabian Mandi, and my meal started with a warming broth packed with potatoes and carrots before the main event: generous pieces of bone-in lamb over a mountain of fragrant rice. Add a squeeze of lemon, some crunchy cucumber and that house chilli — incredibly delicious, but absolutely not for the faint-hearted. One little doorway into another food culture, right here in Johannesburg. These are the places that keep me exploring this city. Arabian Mandi 61 Albertina Sisulu Road, ground floor of Mainford House, Fordsburg, Johannesburg. Tel: 076 115 5860 Lamb mandi meal: R120 on my visit. Save the address and tell me: is this going on your list? #HammyEats #Fordsburg #JoburgFood #YemeniFood
