Mandala Restaurant brings Savory Goodness to Anchorage
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.”
Mandala Restaurant is open at 209 East Dimond Boulevard for take-out Tuesday–Sunday from 11:00 AM–2:00 PM and 4:00–10:00 PM (closed on Mondays).
