Update: After many fabulous years Mandalay has closed its doors as Janny and Erik move North to be closer to family. I'm in mourning for my curries.

My VeggieFoodie Rating: Fabulous
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. They do wonderful curries with complex spices from several Southeast Asian countries. My favorites on the current menu are the Malaysian Green Banana Curry, Thai Green Curry, and Szechwan Black Bean Stir Fry. If you happen to spot a Pineapple Panang, Taro Root, or Green Mango curry on the specials board, go for it.
In addition to the curries, there are some vegetable sides, appetizers, and daily soup which are veggie. Most of the items flagged on their menu as vegetarian are in fact vegan—just ask and you'll find the staff knowledgeable about the ingredients. If you manage to leave any room for dessert, try the Toasted Coconut Bananas or Thai Basil Cheesecake. Most of the curries keep very well as leftovers or takeout.
Tell them Ann says "Hi" ;-)

Althought Mandalay Cafe is closed, Erik and I are committed to maintaining our website and keeping a connected with our devoted customers...However, it will take us a short while to get settled. By the new year (2007), everyone will be able to request info, spice blends, hot sauces, recipes and techniques via the updated website.
Thank for your past support and we hope to connect with you in the near future.
