Had a bit of trouble finding the restaurant at first, as they mentioned they’re in the process of changing the name. The menu is quite limited—only about two pages—and they’ve apparently removed fish dishes for the past three years. We tried the chicken with rice: the dark meat was soft and tender, though the breast was a bit dry. The beef with white rice was soft and tasty. The hummus was decent, though I’ve had better. Overall, it’s okay—not amazing, but acceptable for a simple meal.
Amazing food! We ordered the hummus, beef kofta and lamb. Would go back any day.
This was such an enjoyable gem of a restaurant. The food was delicious with perfectly blended spices. I highly recommend the kofta and shish chicken. The pita was freshly baked and baked to perfection, dare I say better than any pita bread I tried in Greece. The hummus was tasty but the potatoes were devine, especially on the rice and with the pita! If you haven't tried this place, I highly recommend giving it a shot. Just be aware of cultural norms, no alcohol is served here. If that's a deal breaker, just know there's an Irish pub next door. This meal is worth it, dry or not, so don't miss out on the exceptional service and food World's Magic Restaurant provides.
So delicious! The Saudi food here is amazing full of flavor and so fresh! Loved every bite, can’t wait to come back.we ordered mandi, hummus and more
Before entering you might get a bit disappointed because of the atmosphere outside but trust me when you will get inside you will feel great. A middle eastern vibe, very clean and neat. And food was very good. Will definitely recommend if you visit to orlando.
This place was a delightful treat for dinner. My boyfriend and I actually meant to try the place next door and mistakenly walked in here, but it turned out to be a wonderful accident - we had a delicious dinner and our server Muhammad helped us pick traditional Arab options. Would absolutely recommend!
Amazing food. It’s a family run atmosphere. Expect great home cooked food in a warm inviting atmosphere. If you are looking for sterile white tablecloth service look elsewhere. The meat with rice was to die for.
While visiting Orlando, Florida, we stumbled upon World’s Magic Restaurant, a hidden gem serving authentic Saudi cuisine. This was a rare and delightful surprise—while Mediterranean and Arabic restaurants are quite common, it’s not often you come across a true Saudi restaurant outside of Saudi Arabia itself. We ordered the Lamb Mandi and Chicken Mandi, and both dishes were nothing short of fantastic. The rice was fragrant, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely bursting with flavor. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, with just the right blend of spices. The hummus was smooth and delicious—though I would have loved a slightly larger portion. The Arabic salad was fresh, crisp, and the perfect complement to the mandi, while the stuffed cabbage leaves were a pleasant surprise—honestly better than grape leaves in both flavor and texture. A side of garlic sauce elevated everything on the plate; in my opinion, it’s a must-have with mandi. The restaurant itself had a welcoming and well-kept atmosphere, with tasteful décor that set a warm tone. A particularly thoughtful touch was the musalla area at the front for guests to perform salah, which we deeply appreciated. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. While I do wish the menu had a few more unique Saudi dishes to explore, it was refreshing to see authentic flavors from Saudi Arabia represented so well. If you’re in Orlando and want to try something beyond the usual Mediterranean or Middle Eastern fare, World’s Magic Restaurant is well worth a visit.
