Milaf Mandi

In Newport, Milaf Mandi brings together the bold traditions of Indian cooking with the smoky, aromatic flavours of Arabian cuisine. This isn't your standard curry house—the kitchen specialises in fish grills and mandi, a fragrant rice dish slow-cooked with spiced meats that fills the air with saffron and cardamom. Locals in Newport have taken note of this distinctive fusion, where the subcontinent’s fiery masalas meet the Gulf’s charcoal-fired elegance.

The grilled fish here is the star: marinated in a punchy blend of turmeric, chilli, and coriander, then charred until the skin crackles and the flesh stays impossibly moist. Pair it with a mound of mandi rice, studded with tender lamb or chicken that falls from the bone. There is depth and generosity in every plate—generous helpings of cooling yogurt dip, fresh salad, and a wedge of lime to cut through the richness. Order online for delivery or collection, and treat yourself to a meal that travels beautifully from grill to doorstep.
