Mandalay Restaurant & Cafe 930 Bonifant Street, Silver Spring, MD 20910

"The food and service here have always been really good. We’ve been here several times and loved them before they closed down, so I’m very glad to see that they’ve reopened. The price is extremely reasonable for the portion, and the food is amazing. Nothing is too spicy, salty or greasy. And the service has always been very friendly and attentive. Some people have complained that the environment seems “cheap” for the price you pay, but I disagree. It’s obvious that they put attention and effort into their food and service rather than making the place fancy and uncomfortable. The whole experience is very welcoming, comforting and satisfying, I’d definitely keep coming back."

"My friend had the Thursday special, and I had the coconut vegetable curry. The Thursday special was coconut rice and chicken. The chicken fell right off the bone and was delicious. The curry is rich and creamy, with a perfect balance of spices that enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables. Each bite is a burst of flavor, and the dish is a wonderful option for vegetarians and vegans looking for a satisfying and wholesome meal. Overall, Mandalay Restaurant & Cafe impresses with its homey atmosphere and delightful dishes. Whether you're craving a hearty chicken dish or a fragrant curry, this restaurant is sure to leave you satisfied and eager to return for more."

"Pleased with our delivery of beef and potatoes curry, nanjee thoke (had a really nice subtle spice flavour), and shweji. Good portion sizes, everything was well packed. Would order from here again!"

"If you look only their food appearance, I can say they are not really attractive like Thai food, Japanese food or Vietnamese food. They look quite plain (color and the way they decorate their dish). Anyway as for the taste is different story! They did a good job especially my favorite dish is "Chicken and hot pepper curry". It is tasty and flavorful. Too bad that the restaurant location is quite busy business area and a lot of traffic so mostly I prefer take-out instead of dine-in. (but the restaurant is quite spacious and offer a few parking lots) As for service is fine, not too formal, or too casual. p.s. Because Myanmar and Thailand (I am originally from Thailand), we have border next to each other so I think some their food style is fairly the same as northern part of Thailand. But Burmese food might be more interesting as their land is sill next to China and India, so I think many of their food (noodle, curry dish) might have influenced from them more or less, then they make in Burmese style."

"Great takeout! We had the beef potato curry and the pork noodle with egg and both were absolutely delicious! The samosa appetizer was nice bang for your buck and super tasty. Quick and easy, I'm definitely coming back to try more! Inside wasn't open for sit down dining so we order to-go and it was ready within 10 mins. The inside is very plain and kinda run down, but take out was fantastic. Edit: ate in the dining room for dinner with a big group and it's even better in person! The place is clearly family run with great attention to detail. Absolutely delicious! This will be a staple in the neighborhood for sure!"
