...After a great deal of vacillating and deliberation, during which the waiter was very gracious, we decided to go with a sampler of appetizers. Jerri went with the soup, and a main course that I vaguely recall being some sort of fried vegetable. At this point, I was pretty sick of eating chicken and rice. I was ready to meat it up. I went with the beef curry, with a side of thousand-layer-bread, which sounded both delicious and intriguing. As the waiter walked away, on the spur of the moment, I decided I'd like to try the pineapple-fried-rice. Appetizers came. As we ate and dried out, the last vestiges of my anger over getting lost faded away. I ate the meat dishes- a shrimp spring roll, and two samosas full of keema (minced meat, beef in this case.) Interestingly, the small samosas were covered in a shell not unlike that of the spring-roll, rather than the traditional Indian pastry. It lent more of a crunchiness than the soft Indian pastry. I have to say I liked the Burmese version better. It was delicious, and the meat was spicy and soft, a great contrast to the crunchy texture and neutral taste of the shell.

the food was unique and tasty. i recommend the special pork dish. waiter was very polite and helpful. atmosphere was nothing special.

I have been eating at Mingala for over 10 yrs; the food is always fabulous.

My first Burmese cuisine experience...eh, nothing special. I had the mango veg in red curry sauce (recommended by the waiter as the most popular vegetarian dish) and it was rather flavorless, really dull. We had the golden triangles appetizer and my friend had the basil duck (she said it wasn't very flavorful). Instead of naan, we tried the thousand layer bread which was interesting/dense. Although the servers did a great job of filling waters frequently, they were far from pleasant. The decor was charming though and clean enough.

My friend and I recently ate here for the first time, and we will definitely be returning. The mango salad and coconut rice were delicious, and I had a really interesting soup with chicken and noodles that was almost like a custard. We ate a lot of food and spent about $30 - it was great. I can't wait to go back!

Still love the food and swear by the lunch specials, but got a surprise when I called at 3:50 today to order and was told it now ends at 3:30. Since I'm not paying 3x the price for the same lunch, I will pass on the excellent food for today. I was sooooo craving it today :(

I'm not really familiar with Burmese food in general so I can't comment on the authenticity of this restaurant. What I can say is that the food served here tastes great! To me it's reminiscent of Thai and nearby cuisines. I'll be back. Recommended.
