Mandala Restaurant is truly one of the best places in Anchorage, Alaska for Indian and Nepalese vegetarian food. I visited in April, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. As the only vegetarian-focused place, it really stands out with its flavorful and authentic dishes. The Bombay aloo was perfectly spiced, the samosas were crispy and fresh, and the dal makhani was rich, creamy, and comforting. The hot, amazing roti was a highlight and paired beautifully with the curries. Every bite felt thoughtfully prepared and full of traditional flavors.
Along with the incredible food, the restaurant has a great ambience that feels warm, calm, and welcoming. The staff were very friendly and attentive, always ready to help with recommendations and making sure we had a great experience. If you’re looking for amazing vegetarian Indian and Nepalese food in Anchorage, Mandala Restaurant is a must-visit.

This place had hands down the most flavorful and delicious food I have had in a WHILE. The atmosphere is so calm and the service is great. 10/10 I will be coming back and bringing people.

We had a wonderful meal at Mandala, ordering Papadi Chaat, Dahi Vada, Rajma, Aloo Gobi, Naan, rice, and Gulab Jamun. What stood out was the balance in flavor — not your typical heavy, greasy restaurant fare, but more like soulful, home-cooked food. The Papadi Chaat and Dahi Vada were among the best we’ve had. Chef Sanjay personally checked in with guests, clearly passionate and invested in the experience. The serving staff was equally warm and welcoming. Highly recommended if you’re craving a genuinely good Indian meal in Anchorage.

We came here for a late lunch and the place was empty. We wondered if it was even open. They could do better about lighting, signage, and window usage to show the public they are open. We were happily suprised to find out that they were open and were quickly seated.
The service was nice and they recommended popular dishes. I personally enjoy feeling more of a connection to the people around. They kept everything very professional and distant. I good places for privacy if that is what you are seeking.
The vibe was crammed elegance? They did well with the small space they had available. The dining hall was practically a hallway to the back bathroom. White table clothes and fancy table settings.
The food was good. I typically love this style of cooking. It wasn’t the very best I’ve had but it was still very much enjoyed. The portion size was smaller than expected. We needed to ask for more rice and easily finished all the orders with no leftovers.

TLDR; food Indian food with lots of flavor
We came in for dinner after a week of backpacking and eating microwave food. The food here is fresh and very flavorful – the spicy level does take away some of it though, so I recommend getting everything to be mild. We ordered the baigan bharta with plain naan and the thakali egg curry with rice. Both were quite nice.
The service here was very slow though. I think they were perhaps understaffed today – it took us 30 minutes to get our food after we first placed our order. While the wait wasn’t too bad, given that we came in starving, it felt very long indeed.

I admire son and father working together that night alone. I went specially for biryani they were not offering that night but they made it happen. Loved the freshly made naan and all other item we ordered. One of the best in town.

Mandala was such a great experience in every regard. The atmosphere was relaxing with beautiful authentic mandalas on the wall. You can tell Sanjay cares about your experience at his restaurant from the clean environment to making the food fresh to order. Our chicken korma was juicy and flavorful, the garlic naan was perfectly cooked, and he gave us the best advice on how long to brew the darjeeling tea. We appreciate restaurants like this!

I have read the reviews and even had this restaurant as one of my “places I’d love to try” list. They did NOT disappoint!!
We ordered the Bombay Aloo (medium spice) and Pappadi Chat (medium spice) for starters. The sauce for the Bombay Aloo was so so good! I highly recommend getting the Pappadi Chat, each bite is just an explosion of flavor and all the ingredients you wouldn’t think go together, blended and complimented each other so perfectly!
We ordered the Garlic Naan, Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala for our entrees. Garlic Naan was well buttered and had the perfect amount of garlic ratio and soft. Butter Chicken was highly recommend when I was looking at the reviews and it did not disappoint! I got it medium spicy and it was just perfect, the chicken was nice and tender as well. The Tikka Masala was probably the best I have ever had! Chicken was tender and the sauce was creamy and so flavorful.
Overall, I am so happy we chose to eat here and excited to go back for dinner to try their Clay Oven items!
The chef was friendly and kind, he let us know about the Pappadi Chat and what to expect when we took our first bite. He told us how everything is made to order and how he gets the chicken so tender! My fiancé and I both appreciated it very much since it was our first time and we will both definitely be back and will be bringing our family and friends here!

Where to start? First of all the customer service is unrivaled. I’m very unfamiliar with Indian cuisine. The owner not only greeted us but explained each of the dishes as well as appetizers. Making suggestions based on our questions.
The Thakali Curry, a dish that comes from the owners village came with a charming story which which not only explained the dishes smokey flavor but gave a personal insight into the owners history and the history of the dish itself. I did try it and thought it had a wonderful and complex smokey flavor. I ended up ordering the Butter Chicken for myself which was a perfect introduction dish. Not only was it incredibly delicious but it was something, that in my opinion, anyone could enjoy.
Do yourself a favor and order the Pappadi Chat. It was phenomenal. While it is an appetizer I could easily see myself ordering it for lunch or a light dinner.
When looking at it from the outside you would never guess how charming the interior is. It’s a smaller restaurant but it has a very personal feel to it. From the presentation of the dishes to the white linen tablecloths.
I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

popped in for an early dinner and so glad that i did!!! my experience at mandala restaurant was sublime from start to finish. the owner sanjay welcomed us in and explained the menu and various spice levels. i ordered the lamb anchari and my boyfriend ordered the goat tikka masala (and we got garlic naan on the side of course). both dishes absolutely knocked it out of the park and the naan was hot and fresh. already looking forward to my next visit 🙂
