Manny's was fantastic as usual. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary last night and at the end of the meal, they brought us a piece of cake the size of a tube TV on the house. Their customer service is unmatched.

Hello, Thank you, Troy, for being such a great waitress/server. Food was delicious and everyone had a great time and great entertainment. The atmosphere was great, and noise was not a problem at all. We will be returning back soon. Thank you again! TRIO Starting Point - Minneapolis College

Our meal was delightful on every level. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the food and beverages utterly delicious (and abundant!), and Heather was as fun and entertaining as always. So glad we chose Curry Diva for our family celebration.
