Mandalay Restaurant (Silver Spring, MD)
We heard this restaurant was the best in Silver Spring for spicy food and had to check it out--sure enough bf's face turned bright red upon eating the spicy noodles, but he insisted it was delicious! I got the chicken and tomato curry with basil, which was "mild" but still had a bit of a kick. Very good, and an entirely new flavor for me, which I always appreciate. For dessert we got coconut ice cream (made of coconut milk) and sticky rice, both of which were good...but put them TOGETHER and it was one of the best desserts I've ever had! Definitely worth ordering two desserts for that purpose :P Finally, the green tea was nice and smooth and the decor was great. Very authentic Burmese restaurant, I believe the owners still travel to and from Burma.
Stats:
GF Quality: 4/5 (definitely 5/5 for the sticky rice and coconut ice cream combo)
GF Quantity: 4.5/5 (they can modify most things on the menu to be gluten free)
