We are so grateful for all your feedback and reviews! 2020 has been a tough year to open a restaurant for sure, but we have received so much love and prayers from our anchorage family and that is what helps us stay strong. We decided to start sharing some of the reviews from our community. This one is a 5-star review by Sarah H. on Yelp. Please visit our Yelp page for the rest of the reviews and what other people have to say about our authentic dishes!

After months of careful planning assisted by the Alaska Small Business Development Center, Sanjay Shrestha prepared to open Mandala Restaurant in Anchorage in March 2020. When the pandemic hit, his plans to open stalled amidst the statewide closure of dining establishments. During Alaska’s hunker down, Shrestha changed his business model to meet the restrictions of COVID-19 and prepared to open the doors safely. Shrestha’s perseverance is a testament to the heart and tenacity of small business owners around the state. In celebration of the Nepalese New Year, Shrestha officially opened on April 13, 2020. Since then, Mandala Restaurant Anchorage has been serving Nepalese and Indian dishes to happy customers while growing in popularity with reviews like “perfection,” “savory goodness,” and “exquisite.”
