Mingalaba is a wonderful restaurant - interesting mix of different food types. They do have my favorite spring roll of any restaurant I've ever eaten at - a spring roll (not deep fried) with tempura shrimp wrapped in avocado with a Burmese sauce that is really delicious. Also like the string beans with tofu, the Tea Leaf Salad and the vegetable chow fun - just very delicious. The service is wonderful, the people are nice, not long waits - just a nice place. Very casual -...

Really impressed by the staff’s attention to detail. Just one small example of how much they are paying attention was that they noticed my two year-old had chewed up her paper straw and they brought her out a new straw without us mentioning anything. The food was excellent. We liked all the dishes we ordered. We especially like the samosa soup and the house noodles. We would definitely come back here again.
