Mandalay lays claim to being the oldest Burmese restaurant in the city. The cuisine draws inspiration from the country's borders with China and India; and their flavors will leave you wholly fulfilled. Crowding a large, kitschy dining room (picture a range of holiday decorations that hang year-round) are familiar fans, so be prepared to wait for a table. An expansive menu puts you in the mood for similar food. Lovers of the subcontinent will find plenty to please their palates here, reveling in such tantalizing creations as a tea leaf salad—a virtual cacophony of flavor with tea leaves, toasted lentil seeds, ground shrimp, garlic, peppers, and peanuts. For something completely unique, try the Rainbow salad made up of twenty intriguing ingredients.
