Mandalay Restaurant & Bar (Authentic Burmese & Thai Cuisine)

This is the hidden gem of Buffalo's Thai and Burmese cuisine! You're sure to miss out if you judge this place by its location - it's inside the parking lot of a motel.

We walked in only to find that we were the only patrons in the establishment, but we were determined to give this place a chance, and we are so happy that we did. We ordered the chicken satay and shrimp tempura to start. For our mains, we had the shrimp curry and the pad prik phao. Both dishes impressed us so much that we ordered another round of them. We tried the beef curry and found that to be delicious as well.

The staff were very polite and the service was impeccable! We really enjoyed our dining experience at this place and highly recommend it to anyone who is craving some great Thai food or would like to experience some authentic Burmese cuisine.

The food is awesome. Excellent authentic taste. And fair amount for the cost. Waitress is nice. The restaurant is clean. Could be brighter....However, it's the location. Next to a run-downed, not so safe looking motel. None the less, it's worth coming back to. Again; and again; and again. It deserves a better location to match the food experience.

The Burmese chicken curry was savory but wish it had more gravy to go with the coconut rice. Red curry was serviceable. In Niagara falls NY, this is a luxury.

Food was good- ordered the Pad Kee Mao with Beef. The beef was mostly good except for a couple fatty pieces and the noodles were spot on. Would've like more veggies. The price you pay for the portion you get is just a bit lacking. Overall,a place I'd revisit

Amazing food! We were in Niagara Falls to celebrate July 04th and could not have asked for a better Thai food place. Very authentic and tasty. You should try their drunken noodles, pad Thai or basil fried rice. It was simply superb!

The food was good. I liked that there was celery in my stir fried vegetables. My husband got the usual Pad Thai which he liked. The ginger salad was ok. Tasted oily but the ginger was not too strong.
