My partner very kindly booked us in to Mango for valentines evening paid the deposit as well to secure the booking as they were fully booked and having 2 sittings we went for the earlier sitting. I was extremely looking forward to eating there as we have Ben before and the apace was authentic and outstanding. So we arrive on... More

I have been to Mango 3 times before. It is always busy because it's small, but that adds to it's charm - like being in someone's front room. That means you should book early to get a table! I've never felt like I've had to wait for service before, but it's such a chilled atmosphere, maybe I haven't ever noticed!... More

It's individual, busy, friendly and the food is great! You need to book as it does get really busy. The restaurant is quite small even though it goes back quite far once you're in, and it feels quite intimate - this adds to the atmosphere. The staff are friendly and very approachable. The menu is varied and interesting, and I've... More

The food at Mango's is always fantastic. The place itself has quite quirky but with charming decor and service is friendly and prompt. Be warned though, as one of the few decent restaurants in the area, it is usually VERY busy and booking a table in advanced is a must at a weekend, unless you wish to chance a long... More

I loved it here. The food was soooo good and we totally overate. The combination of tasty thai food in a tapas style means you just want to keep ordering more and more. It does get busy and you won't get in without booking at the weekend. Due to how busy it was when we went, we did have quite... More

Thai food & tapas at its best. Compact little restaurant which has become very popular so you need to book a table. Very casual so wear what you like - favorite with students & uni people but equally popular with people like me who enjoy good food where their are no pretentious wannabe's. Great menu - try the mussels wrapped... More

Went with party of 6 on Christmas Eve, our 3rd visit. Starters are great, although quite pricey, but some of the mains were a bit dissappointing. I had a squid dish that was too salty, tasted the massaman curry that was also too salty. Overall the food was good, but the experience was unfortunately diminished by quite poor service. Although...

This is my favourite fun restaurant in Southampton. The food is consistently excellent and a great atmosphere, perfect for birthday get togethers but also romantic for a candlelit dinner for 2! Cocktails are good too. More

Went to Mango Thai for my partners birthday. Being a bit early we popped into the bar across the road for a drink. I tried to convince the party to stay, however I am very pleased we did dine at mango thai. Firstly, fair play to the staff. They really do make the effort, the place itself is quite small,... More

My fiancé and I visited Mango on Saturday 19th November 2011. This was not our first visit and in fact have named Mango as our favourite restaurant. However last night we were less than impressed with the service that we received. We were ushered to our seats 15 minutes late but understood that this is a busy restaurant, it only... More
