Went there for dinner tonight and let me say that you'll be missing out if you don't give Mango a try... the atmosphere is second to none and it's such a chilled out, quirky little venue! The food was fantastic. The steamed dim sum are the best I've ever had and the live guitarist was the perfect finishing touch. Thank... More

I have eaten here many many times and was there last week with friends. Always looked after well by Gaz the Manager and love the fantastic food, we always thank the ladies in Kitchen. We have never been let down by the food, but wanted to write this to say that we have been noticing recently the lack of training... More

I heard great reviews from this place but my personal opinion is that is was rather average. We were upstairs and it was a group party. Most others enjoyed there meals but mine was watery and full of lemon grass whoch was a little unpleasant. More

Oh dear, oh dear. Really disappointed by a recent visit to Mango Thai with a group. We'd sent them pre-orders 24 hours in advance and in my view that means the restaurant has no excuse to get it wrong - but get it wrong they did. Food arrived at different times with the record being the 20 minutes between the... More

I have already emailed this comment directly to Mango so not pulling any unknown punches here like others!! The tapas starters were amazing with great flavours to order a selection and share amongst your friends - simply loved them. However, I was disappointed by the size of the main meals; the choice and flavours again were amazing but I left... More

Went on a Saturday night and glad we booked, it was very busy with a number of large parties. I had tempura prawns for starter which was tasty and then a chicken massaman curry for main course and it was delicious, I could have eaten a bucket of it! I would go back and have the same meal again. I... More

Dear Boopy57. I can't help but wonder at your comparing our food to 'Iceland party food' when we prepare everything freshly on site from raw ingredients. I'm all for freedom of speech and don't mind criticism where it is due – as, of course, there are things we don't get right sometimes. But such harsh and seemingly misplaced criticism does... More

We went to mango for my birthday after reading good reviews on here, really lovely thai green curry with coconut rice and some delicious tapas. My pudding was amazing-banana fritters with coconut rice-yum yum! The restaurant was really busy considering it was a tuesday night, but the service was still good. Highly recommended. More

My partner and I wanted to try somewhere different, so after looking around the net, we discovered this place had some lovely reviews so we thought we'd give it a try as we're not far from it! The menu is double sided with lots of choose from! We had the coconut chicken (which was to die for! The sauce it... More
