Mandi Mediterranean Bar Grill Lounge opening in Bethesda

It's been a great week for fans of Mediterranean cuisine in Bethesda, and now there's more good news. Mandi Mediterranean Bar Grill Lounge is opening soon at 4906 St. Elmo Avenue in Bethesda. This story has been developing since construction began inside the former Bangkok Garden building in May, but the identity of the new tenant has only now come to light. Mandi will serve halal cuisine, and specialities will include falafel, shawarma, gyros and kabobs. 

Bangkok Garden closed here in August 2021, after 37 years in business. The building was then purchased by the Greenhill Companies, which owns adjacent properties along St. Elmo, Norfolk Avenue and Fairmont Avenue.
