World's Magic Restaurant

The best mahndi I’ve ever had!! Was truly blown away from eating the food here wow it was incredible and so tasty! Just a side note, the chicken mahndi does have really small bones so be careful when eating I did actually choke on one. Overall, great experience I would definitely come back.

Absolutely loved the lamb and chicken mandi! The meat was incredibly juicy and tender—it was literally falling off the bone. There wasn’t any spice on the meat itself, but it was still perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. They served a spicy tomato sauce on the side, which added the perfect kick. One of the best mandi dishes I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Tucked away from the crowded I-drive this place is exactly what your looking for if you want a home cooked style meal. Big portions I left full with left overs. I had the Mandi Lamb, hummus, basbusa(dessert) and hot tea. They have a cucumber/yogurt sauce was my fav. Will be back again.

This is a gem for food in the area around universal. We ordered the chicken shawarma and chicken Mandi and they reminded me of the food in the UAE and Saudi. So good! Their chicken shawarma was really good. However, the highlight of my meal was the chicken Mandi. It was so warm and comforting. The sauce was perfect. My only complaint is that I wish there was more because I could've kept eating! An amazing experience and a full recommend from me. Make sure to give them a visit if you're in Orlando! p.s. They no longer serve Indonesian food.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at World's Magic Restaurant, and it was a magical experience indeed. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm and welcoming smiles from the staff. However, it was our encounter with Ahmad that truly set the tone for an exceptional evening. Ahmad's customer service was nothing short of outstanding. He was not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations and guiding us through the culinary journey that awaited. His friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm added a personal touch to our dining experience, making us feel like valued guests. Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the Chicken and Lamb Mandi. The flavors of these dishes were nothing short of enchanting. The tender, succulent meat was infused with an array of aromatic spices and perfectly complemented by the fragrant rice. The Mandi was a culinary masterpiece that left our taste buds dancing with delight. The portions were generous, ensuring we left with contented appetites. World's Magic Restaurant has truly mastered the art of providing an unforgettable dining experience. The combination of exceptional customer service, thanks to Ahmad, and the mouthwatering Mandi dishes, made for a memorable evening. If you're in search of a place where both your taste buds and heart are equally satisfied, I highly recommend World's Magic Restaurant. It's a culinary journey you won't want to miss.

I thought the ratings were inflated when I saw this place on the map, but it turns out that the food, service, and atmosphere are all fantastic and worth every star. The mandi lamb and mandi chicken were so soft, while the beef kofta reminded our Egyptian friend of the food back home. The seasoning for everything was perfect and absolutely delicious, the servers were attentive and kind, and the decor was interesting and pretty. I'll definitely be back!

Before entering you might get a bit disappointed because of the atmosphere outside but trust me when you will get inside you will feel great. A middle eastern vibe, very clean and neat. And food was very good. Will definitely recommend if you visit to orlando.

Amazing food! We ordered the hummus, beef kofta and lamb. Would go back any day.

This place was a delightful treat for dinner. My boyfriend and I actually meant to try the place next door and mistakenly walked in here, but it turned out to be a wonderful accident - we had a delicious dinner and our server Muhammad helped us pick traditional Arab options. Would absolutely recommend!

While visiting Orlando, Florida, we stumbled upon World’s Magic Restaurant, a hidden gem serving authentic Saudi cuisine. This was a rare and delightful surprise—while Mediterranean and Arabic restaurants are quite common, it’s not often you come across a true Saudi restaurant outside of Saudi Arabia itself. We ordered the Lamb Mandi and Chicken Mandi, and both dishes were nothing short of fantastic. The rice was fragrant, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely bursting with flavor. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, with just the right blend of spices. The hummus was smooth and delicious—though I would have loved a slightly larger portion. The Arabic salad was fresh, crisp, and the perfect complement to the mandi, while the stuffed cabbage leaves were a pleasant surprise—honestly better than grape leaves in both flavor and texture. A side of garlic sauce elevated everything on the plate; in my opinion, it’s a must-have with mandi. The restaurant itself had a welcoming and well-kept atmosphere, with tasteful décor that set a warm tone. A particularly thoughtful touch was the musalla area at the front for guests to perform salah, which we deeply appreciated. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. While I do wish the menu had a few more unique Saudi dishes to explore, it was refreshing to see authentic flavors from Saudi Arabia represented so well. If you’re in Orlando and want to try something beyond the usual Mediterranean or Middle Eastern fare, World’s Magic Restaurant is well worth a visit.

So delicious! The Saudi food here is amazing full of flavor and so fresh! Loved every bite, can’t wait to come back.we ordered mandi, hummus and more

Jessica Clayton

This was such an enjoyable gem of a restaurant. The food was delicious with perfectly blended spices. I highly recommend the kofta and shish chicken. The pita was freshly baked and baked to perfection, dare I say better than any pita bread I tried in Greece. The hummus was tasty but the potatoes were devine, especially on the rice and with the pita! If you haven't tried this place, I highly recommend giving it a shot. Just be aware of cultural norms, no alcohol is served here. If that's a deal breaker, just know there's an Irish pub next door. This meal is worth it, dry or not, so don't miss out on the exceptional service and food World's Magic Restaurant provides.

Amazing food. It’s a family run atmosphere. Expect great home cooked food in a warm inviting atmosphere. If you are looking for sterile white tablecloth service look elsewhere. The meat with rice was to die for.

Amazing food! We ate all week at Universal and just discovered this gem on our final night. Best food of the week! We ordered the Mandi chicken; the meat was so tender and flavorful! We also ordered the grape leaves which were the best we’ve ever had! The staff were very friendly and our order was delivered quickly. Can’t wait to go back!

Mahdi Ali

I had the lamb mandi at World Magic Restaurant and it was amazing! The flavors were rich and authentic. It truly reminded me of Saudi Arabia. I found out the chef is from Saudi, and you can really taste the difference. Definitely one of the best mandi dishes I’ve had in the U.S. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Gulf-style food.

Komal Iqbal

Our favorite meal in Orlando! Came here right before our flight back home and were greeted with warmth. The hummus starter was the perfect consistency and the bread with it was so fresh. Ordered chicken shish which was so juicy and flavorful and our kids loved it, but the star of the show was the lamb Mandi! The most moist and tender lamb with perfect blend of spices and flavorful rice. The tomato sauce was so good we ordered extra. We ended up ordering some lamb mandi for takeaway too. Had some mint tea and basbousa to finish up and they were so kind to make it complimentary. Highly recommend

YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE!!! This place was AMAZING!!! You could tell from the pictures we couldnt wait we got atraight to eating. It's 100% authentic and everything is made in house. You can definitely tell that everything is made from scratch. The place is very clean, from the front of house to the bathrooms. We had great customer service. We ordered the Moloukhia with pita bread, chicken mandi, lamb mandi, hummus, grape leaves. Everything was superb!! Hummus- it was smooth and flavorful, the bread served with it was soft and warm. Grape leaves- This was my favorite item that we ordered. Ive been to so many restaurants in search for authentic homemade grape leaves and this is the first place that I've found that tastes like my mama's. It was delicious! Moloukhia- sooooo goooood!! Also, authentic tasting and flavorful. Chicken and Lamb mandi- the star of our dinner! Both meats were falling off of the bone and the rice had an incredible flavor. Basbousa-100% freshly made and warm!! The perfect way to end our meal. If you're thinking of coming here do not hesitate. It was such a wonderful experience and the service was exceptional!

I’ve tasted the real Saudi food, the smell of the restaurant remind me of home definitely I recommended, the food was so tasty and the service was quick and incredible with smile we got free cup cakes with Alhilal team logo the Saudi football team is playing in Orlando that was so sweet and supportive

Wonderful Mediterranean restaurant! Servers were nice and welcoming. The lamb mandi was juicy and tender, and the rice was flavourful with bursting spices with each bite. Complimentary mint tea was a nice treat to end the night. Only thing is that the front of the restaurant does not have a sign, which made it hard to identify.

This restaurant was **exceptional** The Mandi Lamb was the BEST lamb I’ve ever had in my life. Perfect balance of meat and fat cooked to perfection. It was so tender it fell right off the bone. The service… amazing, attentive and extremely kind. The hummus and pita, fresh out of the oven and so good, you can taste the Tahini! The kofta was amazing. This was one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in Orlando. 100% recommend. Note that Saudi cuisine is for folk who like spices and have the palette for exceptional, unique cuisine. The rice was the perfect blend of spices and so soft like you are eating pillows. I will DEFINITELY return. Highly recommend to all those who wish to have an amazing meal. Prepare to have your mind blown!

First time eating Saudi cuisine. Man, so good! The shish chicken was amazing - maybe the most flavorful and moist chicken we've ever had. Also had the Mandi lamb, which was equally tender and delicious. The owner even came by and chatted with us. It's a small place with a small menu, but everything we had was excellent

Had a bit of trouble finding the restaurant at first, as they mentioned they’re in the process of changing the name. The menu is quite limited—only about two pages—and they’ve apparently removed fish dishes for the past three years. We tried the chicken with rice: the dark meat was soft and tender, though the breast was a bit dry. The beef with white rice was soft and tasty. The hummus was decent, though I’ve had better. Overall, it’s okay—not amazing, but acceptable for a simple meal.

Nama Shkukani

I am extremely disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. We ordered 6 pieces of lamb, but instead they brought 6 full orders—a huge mistake. We were there with 3 kids, and despite waiting over an hour, they finally brought a very large plate that we never asked for. Because of their mistake, we ended up paying $230 for a meal that we did not want, and the staff did not handle the situation properly. We left feeling frustrated and as if we wasted our money on a worthless meal. We will not be coming back, and I hope they improve their service and attention to orders.
