Mandi Manager

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.

About

Control

THE CONTROL ROOM You are the operator. The station is failing. Monitor critical systems, investigate unusual events, and make the right decisions before the control room goes offline. There is no character to control and no complicated movement. Everything happens through your control panel. Watch the power. Control the temperature. Monitor oxygen. Manage the doors. Check security cameras. Investigate warnings. Decide what to trust. But every level changes the rules. 10 levels introduce 10 different emergencies, from power failures and overheating to camera deception, conflicting systems, false alarms, multiple failures, and an unknown presence inside the station. Some problems are obvious. Some are not. And sometimes, the control room itself may be lying to you. Can you keep the station running? Take control. Stay alert. Make the right decision.
