I love Burmese food and it's so hard to find in this area. But Mandalay is delicious and a large long branch. I've been here for over a decade and it's still a favorite place! Some of my favorites... KaYann Thee Hin Eggplant simmered in onion based curry with cilantro ThinnBawThee Thoke Shredded papaya, cabbage and onion, tortured with Burmese dressing, garnished with fried onions and carrots. Let Phet Thoke Fermented tea leaves, tomatoes and cabbage sat with Burmese dressing, garnished with fried garlic and crispy yellow peas. (STILL MY FAVORITE!) Baya Gyaw Thoke (Gram Fritter Salad Gram Fritte, tomatoes, cabbage, onion, and fresh Cilantro with Burmese dressing, garnished with fried onions...
My hands-down favorite place to eat in Silver Spring, and we have some spectacular places. But Mandalay takes the cake. For those (and there are many) who are new to Burmese cuisine, let me provide you my go-to order. Start with the Burmese Ice Coffee (pictured below) and the Green Papaya Salad (also pictured below). If you have a fish or nut allergy, tell them and they can put the peanuts and fish sauce on the side. I then enjoy a main course of the pork belly with potatoes in onion curry. It’s DIVINE. For those vegetarians friends, the samosas and salads are lovely. Enjoy!
Come eat here! Food is delicious and reasonably priced. The staff is also very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and was able to safely accommodate gluten free. Because it's so great, expect a bit of a wait for weekend dinner. The short wait is more than worth it. Look forward to continuing to visit and can't wait for them to move across the border onto DC's Upper Georgia ave

This place is AWESOME. Food is prepared well and staff is friendly. Don't worry about pronouncing the names of the dishes, they are labeled for ease of ordering (ie V-1 Vegetarian #1 and it lists the name of the dish and a description of the food) You will leave the restaurant satisfied.
My friends and I eat here every few months as the food is always prepared excellently and everything we have eaten has been great. The tealeaf salad is not to be missed. The entrees are spiced to order. The coconut ice cream is a treat and we enjoyed eating the coconut itself as well.
My friends and I eat here every couple of months as the food is always excellently prepared and everything we have eaten was great. The tea leaf salad is not to be missed. The Entrees are seasoned to order. Coconut is a treat and we enjoyed eating the coconut itself.
When it comes to their food presentation, I have to say that it doesn't quite compare to the vibrant looks of Thai, Japanese, or Vietnamese cuisine. It strikes me as rather simple and unremarkable.

I have nothing but high praise for Mandalay and the support we received from the owner, Joe. I needed to organize a dinner featuring Burmese cuisine for a group of eight, and...
