What people say, in short
Soofi Mandi near the beach receives repeated recommendations for beef mandi; individual diners also praise its honey-glazed and mutton versions. One regular says consistency keeps them returning, while another prefers Nahdi's food but Soofi's ambience. There is substantial disagreement: several commenters call it overhyped or underwhelming, and one says it no longer has its earlier flavour. It is a divisive local option rather than an unqualified favourite.
