This is the free version. Watch an ad once after launching the game to play freely until you exit. The game features a variety of flora and fauna; you can restore stamina by harvesting them, or by picking up apples. If you prefer not to farm manually, you can automate cultivation using seeders, sprinklers, harvesters, and transporters. Features day and night cycles, sunny and rainy weather, as well as snowy winters. Flora and fauna only grow while the game is running. The game autosaves every 1 minute. You can save manually at the door of the house. The screen is evenly divided into four buttons: 1. Top-left corner: Toggle sound button (On/Off). 2. Bottom-left corner: Joystick for character movement. 3. Top-right corner: Joystick for camera perspective control. 4. Bottom-right corner: Action button.

About

Mandi Manager

Features
Read full description

Your grandfather's mandi house is yours now. Seat the guests, fan the charcoal, and get every platter out while the rice is still steaming. Mandi Manager is a hand-pixelled isometric restaurant sim set in a Gulf dining hall โ€” sufrah mats on the floor, a clay tannour in the back, and a living city outside the door. COOK THE REAL MENU Chicken mandi, chicken kabsa, madhbi, lamb mandi, madfoon and zurbian. Every dish has its own ingredients, cook time and price. Stock basmati, hawaij spice, lamb and charcoal at the morning market โ€” run dry and guests walk out. RUN THE FLOOR Tap a party to seat them, tap a ticket to cook it, tap the tannour to fan the coals. Serve while patience is still high for a PERFECT rating; perfect runs build a streak, and streaks build tips. Guests wearing a gold crown are VIPs โ€” they pay more than double, and they wait for no one. BUILD THE HALL More sufrah mats, more tannours, better decor โ€” and an upgrade level on every piece. Grow from a corner room to a hall that seats the whole neighbourhood, then hire chefs, waiters and cleaners who keep the service running while you are away. FIVE STARS Daily tasks, an end-of-day report, a reputation that decides which guests turn up, Game Center leaderboards and 12 achievements. BUILT TO BE PLAYED ANYWHERE Full English and Arabic, including right-to-left layout. Pinch to zoom from the whole city down to a single platter. No ads, no accounts, no internet needed โ€” and every pixel is drawn by the game itself, not a single stock asset.
