Brilliant eating out experience, made a horrible, depressing week into a memorable one. Many a friday night in the future will be spent here!

Having been someone who has previously been very cautious and unsure when it comes to eating foreign foods, I was slightly worried upon entering a Thai restaurant suggested by one of my mates who claimed to have had a brilliant meal there. My insecurities with the foreign cuisine were soon banished when I was greeted along with three of my mates by some extremely friendly staff who seemed determined to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I went for the £35 a person menu and was pleasently surprised with what I ordered espeically as I didn't really have an idea of what's what in the world of Thai food. I would recommend the chicken fillet with garlic and pepper (can't remember the Thai name for it). Even though I'm a reluctant foreign cuisine diner, I really enjoyed the meal and felt the staff were friendly and the service was impecable with us recieving our meals in quick time. I will for sure be making a return.

I went to Mango tree last sunday with my girlfriend. we ordered some cocktails at the bar, the cocktails we ordered was Thai piranha, Fruit favour Mojito and Pink Magician. I would like to say It's very absolutely fantastic. Then we were ready to sit for our dinner, The receptionist were very lovely and the staffs were very kind to us. The staff recommened us some kind of grilled fillet seabass in banana leaf come with sauce which so delicious, my girlfriend ordered Lamb shank come with Panang curry, we also ordered stir-fried mix vegetable for our side dish too!

we had white wine as well, which they had many wines in the wine list, we ordered chablis and the taste was very good. The atmosphere was very friendly

The staff gave us a hand. Me and my girlfriend had a good time there, It was very relax day for us. and we will go back there again definitely.

I've been to Mango Tree once which I definitely recommend all of my friends to approching a Thai style in here; tasty food and a good service from all the staffs . Since I'd opened the door which I've noticed very warm welcome from the receptionists and when we had a drink in the bar which the staff gave the great recommendation for the first drink, Mango Tree Paradise. Even though the waiting staffs was a bit busy but their treated us as a King. I've been many restaurants in UK but never ever seen any staffs were very friendly and always pay attention to the customers like this place before. My friends and I really enjoyed soft shell crap (Yummy green mango with lovely sauce) and Mueng Cum :) (Not easily to find any Thai restaurant do a delicious sauce with it) The rest of them I dont need to say to much but totally FANTASTIC!

Ealier this evening we had an appalling experience. We (2 of us) arrived at 7:20 for a 7:30 reservation. At reception we were told to go to the bar and wait to be called to our table. Initially their were no seats for us in the bar area and the waiting staff were not interested in serving us until we were seated......eventually we found 2 seats. We ordered 2 drinks and at 7:40 asked at reception when our table would be ready. We were told 'you're next'.

At 7:45 we ordered more drinks and watched the waitresses coming ito the bar asking people 'how many are there in your party?'. We watched 2 couples say 'there are 2 of us but our table is not until 8pm' yet the waitress said 'it's ready now - follow me'.

At 7:55 we asked at reception when would our 7:30 table be ready and were told ' you're next'. After watching more of the same above at 8pm we went to reception and asked for our bill as we were leaving. We had to wait while another party were making the same comments and also leaving.

This was absolutely appalling service from staff totally out of control. We've eaten here 3 times previously - the food is OK but quite expensive although on each occasion the service has been mediocre. This visit has tipped the balance. We won't be back and I certainly will not be recommending the Mango Tree to anyone.

I went to this restaurant a few days ago to celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend. The food is quite good but definitely too pricy: somewhere else you'll pay less and have something as good. It lacks character and it is not intimate: if you are looking for something special or a romantic place do not go there. The service is ok but they tend to rush you. I won't go back there!

I went to Mango tree on my boyfriend's birthday. There were 5 of us including his parent and brother. The only word that I cay say is EXCELLENT from the beginning to the end.

Our great time at Mango Tree began with a warm heart service greeting of their welcome host. We were greeted to the bar as requested for a round drink before meal. I had Pink Magician as recommended. Superb! for someone who loves champange cocktail (this could be one of the excellent choice to start).

Once we were seated at table, we decided to choose a combination of starters and main courses (their staff were very knowledgeble and polite. They gave us a good recommendation as It was our first time in the Thai restaurant). The food was nothing to short of amazing especially Tempura of soft shell crab with green mango and sweet chilli sauce. It was very crispy on the outside and very moist on the inside even better once we dip it with their homemade sweet chilli sauce nothing to compare . We also really impressed with grilled seabass in the banana leaves. The dish was very presentable; a good size of fish was wrapped in the banana leaves and some side of salad and sauce ( we loved this dish very much as it was healthy and delicious!). We then ended up with sweet mango with sticky rice as a dessert to share. Surprizingly, while we were having desserts. there were staff brought my boyfriend a birthday cake and sang the song for him. Thank you for all the best Mango Tree had done for us to made a fantastic time and gave us a finest, intimate dining experinces.
