Bida Manda has always been a spot I’ve visited from time to time, but tonight’s experience genuinely surprised me in the best way! With the recent change in ownership, I’m not sure what’s changed behind the scenes, but the food tonight was absolutely bursting with flavor. Every bite was delicious, from the savory grilled beef to the rich, comforting curry noodle soup. Everything tasted so vibrant and well-seasoned! The service was just as memorable. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and accommodating, especially with our toddler. Dining out with a little one can sometimes be a challenge, so that extra warmth and patience really made a difference. The ambiance was beautiful as always, with its warm lighting, cozy atmosphere, and inviting decor that makes it a great spot for a date night or dinner with family. I’ve been here several times before and always thought it was just okay, but tonight felt different. Between the flavorful food, wonderful service, and lovely atmosphere, this visit definitely changed my impression. I’m excited to come back and see what else is in store under the new ownership!

We went for my wife's birthday with my elderly mom in a wheelchair, and they went out of their way to take care of my mom, and treat my wife as she deserves on her birthday. The food was great, our server was so friendly and engaging, and they brought my wife a special birthday treat at the end of the meal. We just love Osha!

    JALWA was a wonderful surprise and an outstanding experience from start to finish. Both the service and the food were outstanding. Our server did a great job walking us through the details of each dish. The portions were large which made the meal a great value. We will be back!
