Raydan Yemeni Restaurant specializes in mandi, madhbi, madghout, and kunafa in a pilgrim-friendly central format. It is not the quietest meal, but it solves the mandi craving without leaving the Haram zone. — Ash Shubaikah / Jabal Omar

12:00-15:00 or 22:00-01:00; the Jabal Omar food-court setting is useful after worship but can jam after prayer.
