Thai Mango Restaurant & Bar

Food was really good, very tasty and fresh however I did find the surroundings very plain. It could have maybe had some music for ambience and the service whilst okay was a little cold but I'm putting that down to inexperienced serving staff. A real shame it doesn't quite hit the mark but so close, I'm guessing take away would be the better option.

Personally I am not a big lover of Thai food and have never enjoyed the traditional Thai green curry that you find throughout the UK. I was a little apprehensive when we decided to go there but I was pleasantly surprised. When we arrived we were greeted with a very warm welcome by Colin who, despite being early for our reservation was able to seat us immediately. The restaurant is decorated in a modest yet modern style with glimpses of bare stone walls in places which really added character to the dining area. The menu has lots of options ranging from Soup, noodles and Thai Curry through to Stir Fry, and Salad. as I was with another 3 people it gave us the option to select all 4 appetiser options and we were not disappointed. The starters arrived in a reasonable amount of time and I am not sure my mouth knew what had hit it. the wonderful use of herbs and spices in each dish was something I could have only imagined in my dreams. I especially loved the Pophia Sot and the Thord Man Pra. We decided to do something similar for main course where we chose Kaeng Keaow Wan (not for the faint hearted in the spicy options), Massuman, Pra Rad Prik, and Gai Pad Met Manuang. For someone that likes the spices I would highly recommend the Kaeng Keaow Wan, it is very spicy but a wonderful option to have if you don't mind a little heat, I would have rated it on a hot scale, there is quite a chilli bite. For safer options the Gai Pad Met Manuang is basically a chicken and cashew nut dish for those with delicate pallets. I chose the Pra Rad Prik which was a sea bass based dish with some wonderful after tones of what i think was lemongrass and something else I could not quite decide on. All the dishes we tried were very different and unique in their own way. nearly all of the starters and some of the main courses coming with sweet chilli sauce in one way or another which made a very different and interesting use of sweet chilli in the sea bass dish. A wonderful evening was had by all and would highly recommend to everyone to give it a try. it has defiantly changed my opinion on Thai food for the future and I am hoping to Colin and the Team again soon. On a side note, The restaurant seemed to lack the usual background music which was pleasant as there were lots of people there but could make it feel unwelcoming if there are only a few select tables.

2 stars because the food is good however after explaining I have a nut allergy and my friend ordering starters to share, the waiter did not inform me that the spring rolls had peanuts in I ended up consuming this and then subsequently having an allergic reaction (luckily this did not lead to anaphylaxis which I am at risk of suffering from). The waiter also put a peanut satay starter in front of me, which I knew to avoid but this also demonstrates their lack of consideration for my nut allergy. I advise the restaurant puts in place an official allergen menu or ensures the waiters are better informed with what contains nuts. In addition to this, there was no door to the kitchen which meant all of the kitchen smoke or fumes were entering the restaurant. This lead to a very smoky and smelly environment to dine in which was unpleasant for all of us. I will not be returning and I advise anyone with an allergy (especially one that may be life threatening) to either not attend or to triple check with the waiter what the dish contains before ordering it.
