About the Business

Right in the heart of downtown Raleigh, Bida Manda is a thoughtful and sharp gathering place celebrating the diverse food and culture of Laos. Bida Manda is one of the very first Laotian restaurants in the US. Sanskrit for father and mother, we name the restaurant Bida Manda as our way of honoring our parents in Laos who taught us everything we know about food, hospitality, and the power it has in bringing people together.

Our parents' recipes are the inspiration for our menu. Every dish on our menu is exactly what we grew up eating. They are the kind of dishes you might find on the street corners of Luang Prabang and at a Laotian home.

Come in and go away with us on sensational culinary journey to Laos.

Specialties

Traditional Laotian cooking including crispy rice lettuce wrap, curries, noodle soups, papaya salads, and fresh fish dishes. We offer seasonal craft cocktails, an extensive beer list, and a thoughtful wine program in a tasteful and vibrant setting. About Laotian Cuisine: Nestle between lush green hills and the Mekong River, Laos' dynamic cuisine reflects the country's intimate relationship with nature, its culture of generosity, and its French colonial past. Laos' cuisine is a flavorful marriage of Vietnames, Thai, and Chinese cooking intricately refined with French sensitivity. Our parents' recipes and fresh local ingredients are the inspirations for Bida Manda's menu. Every dish on our menu is exactly what we grew up eating. They are the kind of dishes you may find on the streets of Luang Prabang or at a Laotian home. We look forward to share our food and culture with you.
