Founded in 2011, Mandi is a family business run by husband and wife Hlal Jarah and Iwona Sochacka. Mandi has always been in a historic building in Veltusundi 3b. In 2019, Mandi opened a new location in Skeifunna, which offers the same menu as Mandi in Veltusundi. In 2020, Mandi opened another location, but it is located at Hæðasmára 6 in Kópavogur. Mandi's goal is to offer Icelanders real Syrian food at a reasonable price
