  If you are looking for authentic, very good tasting Saudi style Mandi, this is the place. The dishes are so authentic we are going back consecutively until our holiday is finished. This is an especially pleasant find in Orlando where most of the places we've been to hasn't been very good. Totally recommended!

  Orlando is a place filled with every chain restaurant known to man. Thank goodness for Worlds Magic Restaurant.
  
  It bills itself as an Indonesian Arabic restaurant. I was concerned that the only review from a fellow Indonesian warned against eating here. However, ethnic food is routinely toned down for American consumption.  I'm glad I decided to eat there.
  
  The menu is filled with familiar Indonesian dishes.  There's even a "combination plate" with small portions of popular dishes. I was going to order it, and my waiter felt it's a great way to have a variety of foods. However, he suggested I order the Arabic Lamb Specialty that was not on the menu.  I have had Indonesian food in New York and where I live. How often does one get the opportunity to eat Arabic food?  It was an easy decision.
  
  I was expecting grilled lamb similar to Lebanese food over steamed rice. What I got was lamb and rice cooked in an underground oven. The waiter said it gave the rice its slightly smoky flavor. I couldn't identify several spices used, but I can attest the result was outstanding. The lamb was soft tender and flavorful. The rice was typical very long grain rice. It has a subtle flavor that compliments the lamb. It was served with a tomato based sauce on the side. The sauce was too spicy for my taste but probably mild on the Indonesian hot scale. I felt it overwhelmed the complex seasoning of the lamb. The lamb was too good to hide its virtues with any sauce no matter how good the sauce may be. Truly an exceptional meal.
  
  I again trusted the waiter with the dessert. It was an orange colored cheese dish. The waiter told me to stop playing with my phone and eat it before it got cold. Love the guy. I'm not sure what was in it except some pistachios, but it was a wonderful new experience.  
  
  Needless to say, my waiter was great!  I like people who are proud of their food and not afraid to push what's best.  
  
  The waiter gave me the dessert with his compliments. He refused my offer to pay for it.
  
  If you're in Orlando to visit Mickey Mouse, skip the resort and chain restaurants. Experience something new and wonderful at Worlds Magic Restaurant!

  This is one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in Florida!! Authentic arabic and indonesian dishes. I've been here like 10 times now, and twice within one week. Their chicken and meet options are all great!! The food is made fresh and it tastes amazing. You must try them out. You will not regret it!! Also, you MUST try their knefeh. SUPER AMAZING!!

  We found this place on yelp while visiting Orlando. Looks like it's a local hangout spot for men because there were so many when we got there.
  
  Food was pretty good. It's interesting how the menu is Asian and Arabic. We tried some Indonesian plate for two and lamb mandi. Mandi Was flavorful and the rice that came with it was ok too. Hubby and my daughter enjoyed their food.
  
  Took one star away from this place because the owner, I assume, was going to tables with foreigners (not Asian or middle eastern) and really kissing ass lol if you know what I mean but totally ignored our table and another family.

  The best Indonesian food in the United States. The Restaurant owned by a Saudi family which make it feels like home. The food was very fresh. It took a lot of time to prepare so be patient :)
  
  We order mixed Indonesian for tow ( the big plate in the pic) which includes mix meet and vege.
  
  Then an order of den den which is a fried beef with red sause and special flavors.
  
  Finally we got the chicken safe which was very tender and Yammy.
  
  Must of the dishes made with peanuts so if you have any allergies don't forget to read the menu carefully.
  
  The kenafa is good as a sweet to get a full Saudi/Indonesian experience in Orlando:)
