- BBindiGoldNew York City •10 reviews5.0Dined on 27 Oct 2026Our waitress, Janeal, is amazing! We specifically requested to sit in her section when we arrived, and she made my daughter’s birthday celebration yesterday so memorable. We couldn’t decide between the Margherita pizza and the seasonal squash pizza. Since ordering half-and-half wasn’t an option, Janeal kindly brought us the squash pizza so we could try both. It was such a thoughtful gesture! She remembers exactly how we like our food and always makes us feel special. Janeal truly is the best thank you for making our celebration so wonderful!More infoColletta - Cary, NC$$$$• Italian• Cary•4.7

- JJenniferCharlotte •8 reviews5.0Dined on 21 Oct 2026Bida 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!More infoBida Manda Restaurant and Bar$$$$• Laotian• Raleigh•4.8
