Mango Room review by James Miguel
i decided to try it out as i passed it so many times on my way to work, and my favorite restaurant, Bintang which allows bring your own wine, was fully booked. like a few people here i was a bit apprehensive because of the mixed reviews.
i went in, got a few weird looks, may because i was still clutching my wine... i wasnt really expecting too much...... but that shortly changed.... after i saw the prices! price was high, but hey, nice venue, why not??
ordered scallops for a starters (the most expensive starter) and what i got was three small pieces scallops which resembled polo mints or shall i say the the piece that belonged to the hole in the polo, dotted with a couple pomegranate pips and the the melon salsa, which looked at though someone sneezed. everything just looked like garnishes!
for mains i ordered curry goat, roti and my partner ordered the snapper.
the fish - over cooked and tasteless
the"famous" curry goat - bland bland bland. its must be famous for being the most expensive curry goat in london!!
the roti - to be fair it wasnt bad... well half of it was. the other half was hard.. which the waiter later explained was in the microwave for too long!?
food was too pretentious, price was too high, service was standard, but didn't feel personal.
should of went home, should of booked at bintang, should of got a kebab, shoulda woulda coulda. lesson learnt.
