Mandalay


An all-vegetarian menu fits the owners' stated principle: ‘Be kind to animals by not eating them’. The food largely references Sri Lanka, India and Myanmar; highlights include tofu curry, a meal-sized aubergine 'dip', and avocado milkshakes (K2000) that are as fabulous as promised. Very popular with backpackers. It's off 27th St, between 74th and 75th Sts. Hours variable in low season.
