Mandala - Anchorage

Where to start? First of all the customer service is unrivaled. I'm very unfamiliar with Indian cuisine. The owner not only greeted us but explained each of the dishes as well as appetizers. Making suggestions based on our questions. The ThakaliCurry, a dish that comes from the owners village came with a charming story which which not only explained the dishes smokeyflavor but gave a personal insight into the owners history and the history of the dish itself. I did try it and thought it had awonderful and complex smokey flavor. I ended up ordering the Butter Chicken for myself which was a perfect introduction dish.Not only was it incredibly delicious but it was something, that in my opinion, anyone could enjoy. Do yourself a favor andorder the Pappadi Chat. It was phenomenal. While it is an appetizer I could easily see myself ordering it for lunch or a lightdinner. When looking at it from the outside you would never guess how charming the interior is. It's a smaller restaurant butit has a very personal feel to it. From the presentation of the dishes to the white linen tablecloths. I would recommend thisrestaurant without hesitation.

Thank you for sharing the deliciousness with Kadi pakoda, Seek Kabab, Garlic naan, Masala chai in Clay pot. Thakali Curry, the best and unique taste of country side dish. Kheer prepared with saffron served warm(classic and traditional way of eating afterthe heavy meal) my family loved it. Warm Gajar halwa another addition to taste here.
