I really did want to like this restaurant after hearing so many positive reviews, but it was not to be. I personally love Burmese food and was saddened by the quality of this establishment. The staff were two seemingly clueless young Asian women being ordered around by whom I can only assume was the owner. I ordered 4 dishes and they were all mediocre and the service was hopeless. The décor is unacceptable, and two of the dishes arrived being barely warm and the owner then engaged in an argument with a women who had had made reservation. They were rude to her and the commotion in front of other guests was completely inappropriate. I wouldn't go again.

The Mandalay is run by two brothers and their wives as a family restaurant which is normally closed on Sundays.

Its fairly small and consequently can become quite crowded as its a popular place. Its more of a cafe where you go for the good food rather than an evening out.

I went with a few friends and when they came we realised that the size of the main dishes varies from a small starter size to a huge plate full! The problem is that you dont know when it comes if you have chosen a small one or a large one! Best to see what others have ordered first! Asking does not seem to work!

Very tasty food and reasonable sizes on some dishes and pitifully small portions on others so take care. Reasonable prices for the large dishes!

Apparently Mandalay is Burmese, but to be honest I wouldn't know a Burmese restaurant if it jumped up and bit me on the arse! What I do know is Mandalay is dead cheap and dead good - and that's good enough for me!
