Had lunch at Mango Tree last week...here are my thoughts: Ambiance: This restaurant is small and in a very hidden location. But it's nicely decorated and clean. Service: All of the servers were quite nice. Apparently the kitchen closes at 2:15 or so, and we arrived at about 2, so we felt kind of rushed when the server notified us we had just a few minutes to place any orders. Food: Quite good for the most part. -- Scallops were not mind-blowing (like Zaika's) but they were good. -- Aloo Tikki was too fried for me and the accompanying chickpeas were quite spicy. I don't recommend this dish. -- Rice was good. -- Daal was well received (didn't get to try it). -- Chicken was also well received (didn't get to try it). -- Roti was nice and fresh. -- Pear + sorbet dessert is refreshing and delicious. I highly recommend. Overall I would recommend Mango Tree, especially if you are in the Borough Market / London Bridge area. Not sure I'd seek it out again since it's not really convenient to our place though. read more

We really liked this cozy spot in the heart of London. We went on lunch time and what a great deal! The portions were perfect and the food was delicious. So if you happen to be in London you have to come to this amazing spot. read more

London has some really great indian food and Mango Tree Indian restaurant is one of them. Located next to the famous marketplace, Mango Tree restaurant was better than any indian food I've had in the states. It's not about the intensity of the flavor but also how balanced you make them...which Mango tree got spot on. We came here during lunch and they had a nice prixe fixe lunch menu. I don't quite remember how much each prixe fixe combo costed, but I remember it being really decent and easy on the wallet for the amount/quality of food you receive. Chicken kabob: Solid appetizer. Seek kabob: While the flavor was good, it was a bit on the dry side. Okra vegetable mix: This was absolutely fantastic. Could have eaten this as a main dish by itself because it was so flavorful. Chicken Tikka Masala : Very different than what I usually have in the states. This one was much more flavorful and had less of an emphasis on cream. I can tell they used a lot of ingredients in here because the sauce was quite chunky, akin to a puree of flavor. Lamb : Not sure which one I ordered but it was really delicious and cooked exceptionally. The lamb had very little gamey flavor to it. Basmati rice: Usually I don't rave about rice but this was great. The rice was seasoned well and was extremely fragrant. Who knew rice alone could have so much essence. Garlic nhan: This didn't come with the set meal but is a must order. Crispy and full of garlicy goodness. 5 stars. I'm extremely happy I found this place on yelp so don't miss this place! read more

Empty restaurant, just one patron . I am a single person there. One look at me and he says he can't seat me without a reservation . Yes, I understand restaurants need reservations , and I know how they work. But when you are freaking empty at 3 PM in the afternoon, you are just being an ass and I'm calling you such, or better post a notice on the door read more

Due to circumstances I found myself alone and wanting for some great Indian food. By chance, while walking around the neighborhood I found this great little restaurant. It's not too big, has great atmosphere, excellent service and to top it off also great food! I decided to go for an all prawn meal. While I cannot remember the names of the dishes, I had the king prawns as starter and the prawn curry with saffron rice as main. All the flavors were very well balanced. The amount exactly right. Luckily, since I came alone, I could quickly be seated. Outside there were quite a few people waiting. I recommend making reservations, especially at busy nights! read more

Mango was my 2nd of 3 Indian meals I had while visiting London. Like both the others, I walked away with ecstatic tastebuds. Here's what we ordered: - Lall Mass, a spicy red lamb curry - Makhani Murgh (chicken red curry) - yellow daal - garlic naan - basmati rice - Kingfisher beer All were FANTASTIC! The curries were absolutely bursting with flavor and everything else served as a wonderful flavor compliment -- including the Kingfisher beer (my first time trying it, but perhaps not a surprise for the locals). My one complaint is the service was awful. We came for a late lunch (perhaps around 15:00) and despite a nearly empty restaurant it took us awhile to be seated. Then when we were seated, it was scrunched against the window and next to a pillar and right next to another group who were quite loud (again, the restaurant was pretty much empty). And there was no attention paid to us during our meal either, which was annoying when trying to order more naan or get a water refill. It was bad enough that I'd normally knock a star off, but I just can't -- the food itself was THAT good. read more

Not friendly stuff. Actually quite arrogant and rude. Do not recommend and would not give them my $$.

Yum, in fact, F@&king YUM... holy heck batman... sophisticated, elegant, cozy with superb service. We dropped in around 7pm without reservations, and got a seat just in time, as this place was packed, and popular for obvious reasons. This is an upscale Indian place, where flavor and balance lead the pallet on a wonder ours journey of taste nirvana. Portions are just right, and everything always perfect. Right next to Borough Market in London, give this place a try... you won't be dissatisfied. read more

Delicious!!! My husband and I were on our way to check out the Tate modern museum and wanted to check out some Indian fare since London is known for some great Indian curries! Found this place on yelp and it was easy to navigate to on our phone gps. The place looks a little out of place but it's cozy and has some great food! We started with some tea and then ordered the lunch special with 2 items which was a pretty good deal. We both ordered the chicken tikka masala and got the lamb and chicken starters. We also got the vegetable of the day included with our meal which was okra. Oh, we didn't forgot about naan! We ordered a side of garlic naan as well! The whole meal didn't take too long to come out and everything was really delicious! The tikka masala had a more tomatoe-y tang that was more prominent in this dish then I was used too but it was still very delicious. The okra had great flavors to it and the starters were flavorful and cook perfectly. Would love to come back for dinner to try other dishes! read more

Food: We had lamb, hariyali chicken tikka, bread sampler, dahi baingon, chilli paneer and rice. You get two sizes large and small. We picked small (they were really small, like two servings). Had a Cobra beer and still water Plain Naan was light and fluffy, garlic Naan was okay. Baingon( eggplant) was mild and creamy and paneer was meh. Lamb was good though the saalan( gravy) was spicy. Folks sitting in a table behind us had the same reaction, so beware if you don't like spicy lamb. Hariyali chicken tikka was juicy, mild and well marinated. Definitely the winner. Price: I am not sure if this is a British thing, but who charges for water!!!! C'mon folks. 4£ for a bottle of still water. That sucked. Service: Prompt, friendly, not stuffy. Total for 3: 76£ (ouch!) Would we go again: Probably but I would be smarter about the dishes we pick. read more

The Mango tree sits tucked away on Redcross way, only a couple of minutes walk away from Vinopolis, Borough Market and the Thames. The restaurant only opened about a year ago, but I've been visiting many times since then. Compared to some of the other Indian restaurant locally, the Mango tree has a more attractive, and modern interior, with leather seats. The glass front to the restaurant lets in plenty of light during the daytime. Relaxing modern music with an Indian influence plays in the background (similar to Talvin Singh, although the waiter claimed it wasn't). The staff are really nice and welcoming, and every time we go back they treat us like old friends, although I have no idea if they actually recognise me or not! The menu is pretty big and includes many of the standard dishes you find in most Indian restaurants, but have a look at the specials section for the real treats. My only criticism is that on my last couple of visits I've ordered lamb dishes and found the lamb to be too tough. Other dishes on offer have been much better. The flavour of the sauces are excellent. Prices are about average for this area, with main course curries costing around £7, specials £10. Small chocolates and a hot towel are provided on paying the bill. read more

Delicious food! We can here two nights in a row because my twin 10-year olds begged us to have the Murgh Makhani or butter chicken again. It was perfect in sweetness, richness, spice. The first night we also had the chicken tikka which we were able to add to the butter chicken sauce. We also had the lamb chops which were really flavorful. The second night, we also had the chicken tikka again with the butter chicken and also tried the salmon tikka. It was my favorite dish of them all. Perfectly cooked - not dry at all in the inside, but very crispy on the outside and great flavor. Will definitely come back next time I'm in London. The staff was not he most friendly. While they were perfectly nice, nothing was done with a smile. But they did accommodate us without a reservation two nights in a row. The place gets busy later in the evening. read more

We had tried to get a reservation at Dishoon but it was completely booked for 3 nights in a row!! It was either 5:30 PM or 9 PM and we doubt our kids could hold out that late for dinner. Good thing we found Mango! It was delicious. We ordered via phone and they delivered to our apartment hotel along Thames. It was wonderful to eat yummy Indian while gazing out on the gorgeous view of our hotel. Everything we ordered was good: plain naan, garlic naan, lamb chop, vegetable makhani, malabar king prawn, soft shell crab, palak paneer, rice, roast chicken. It was a wonderful meal to eat in and avoid trekking everyone out in the rain to eat dinner. Would eat here again!! read more

Close to Tate Morden museum. Very different taste Indian food. Every dish is perfect, extremely hot lamb and lamb shank for adults, karma lamb chops for kids, they love it. Vegetable curry is too spicy for kids, but for us, great! read more

So let me start off by saying that I am in American. I came to London knowing that I wanted to eat good Indian food. We went to the globe theatre and were trying to find some Indian food near there. We were not disappointed. When we arrived we did not have a reservation and were seated within the first 5 minutes of waiting. They went out of their way to accommodate us. I asked for a wine that was fruit forward and would go with the food. The gentleman serving us did a good job choosing exactly what I wanted. There were some differences between the americanized Indian food I had eaten and what I was seeing on the menu, however our server did his best to find us on things that were similar to what we were used to. Instead, they were better. The location is small, but well appointed. The bathrooms are single and divided by gender. The service is more than fantastic. At the end of the meal before we ordered dessert they brought out hot towels, a nice end to a rich meal. We ordered the Matkfa Kulfi. They happened to be out of it, but were very polite about it. All in all, a great place to have dinner. read more

Mango Indian - Sport I ate it! - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

Terrific back-up option to the always fun Borough Market. We arrived too late for the Borough and were pleasantly surprised to find this gem tucked away down a narrow street. We didn't have any reservations but they found a tight spot for us. We just beat the busiest time but found the service was attentive and we didn't feel rushed. We didn't get too adventurous on the menu but the chicken tikka masala and a curry (sorry I can't remember the specific item) exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly surprised by the papadum, not something we normally order, and the great range of flavors in their dipping sauces. So, if you're looking for a spot off the beaten path but close to the Market, give this place a shot. read more

Excellent food, friendly service. Mention yelp. ***** service if your American Try the seafood tandori platter Proper quality popadpms too Cheers! read more

When we went for a quiet later lunch, the food and service was a strong 5 stars. However, on a busier weekday night, the food was oily, extremely salty, and not nearly as good, barely past 3 stars. Will give them the benefit of the doubt and call it 4 stars as an average. read more

If you're American don't even bother to come here. They will deny you service and claim to have no tables available even when there's a ton of empty tables. When we walked in and asked for a table for two the first guy who greeted us pretended not to understand us then another guy came up and said we need a reservation because all of the tables are for reservations who for some reason are all happening at the same time. So random. I was like okay I get it you guys don't like Americans. I guess they don't need our business with all of the damn empty tables. read more

Wonderful find in the heart of London. Amazing Northern Indian cuisine with a Punjabi focus. We highly recommend visiting and enjoying a perfect meal at the ideal price. There are options for all. You will not be disappointed. read more

Flavorless Indian Doesn't live up to the expectations. Chai tea with faint flavor of spices. Tandoori fish wasn't fresh maybe even previously frozen and quite remote from what you'd expect from tandoori. Ambient isn't Indian. Oily papadam and gooey overly sweet chutneys. Overly rated restaurant. Nice staff! read more

Best food we had in London on my honeymoon. We tried high end restaurants and this is by far my favorite. I got the lamb shank shikadari with mushroom rice and the portion of lamb was great and so tender. The spices ran through the meat My husband got the chicken chettinad and was great too with rice and naan. I wish we had this restaurant back in Los Angeles!! I also recommend the kebab and platter soo good read more

Very, very good Indian food. 5 stars for the food, 3 stars for the service and ambiance. We ordered the makhani murg (butter chicken), a lamb and spinach dish, naan, basmati rice, and veggie samosas. The entrees--the chicken and the lamb-- were both FANTASTIC. Delicious spices, tender meat, everything you hope for in a high quality Indian dinner. The naan was fluffy and incredibly light, and the rice was cooked perfectly. The samosas were kind of strange, they seemed to be wrapped in a phyllo dough rather than the thicker crust that I have always encountered when ordering samosas. But they tasted fine. My complaint about the service: we were put in a table in a corner that was wedged in very tightly, which made it an uncomfortable meal. I was disappointed that this happened, especially considering the restaurant was empty when we entered and remained so throughout the entire meal. Also, the server touched my silverware with his hands once when he was serving us, which grossed me out. Finally, the women's bathroom is incredibly small-- if you are taller than 5'6", I don't think you would be able to sit on the toilet at all. The wall was literally inches from my nose! My tip: Mango Indian great food, but maybe opt for takeaway. ;) read more

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in London. The food was authentic and delicious! From the Soft Shell Crab with ginger garlic & green chilli to the Malabar King Prawns sauted coconut, onion tom masala, made with just the right amount of coconut milk, star anise and black stone flower to make this so special. The owner and staff are very nice and treat you like family after a few visits making a return visit inevitable. Miss you guys... hope to see you soon. Cheers read more

Best Indian food we've ever had! My family and I constantly eat Indian so we have a lot of restaurants to compare it to and this is by far all of our favorites- we've never eaten Indian food this good. We came to London for just a few days and ate here our first night. After that, we tried other Indian restaurants around the area so that we wouldn't eat at the same place each night but we should have just eaten a different kind of cuisine because no other Indian restaurant came close. Great bang for your buck, highly recommend! read more

They are closed for renovation for 3 weeks. We walked 2 miles only to find out they closed the day before. August 9, 2019

Quaint restaurant tucked away just off the main road. Clean, modern interior with fun music. The staff enjoys what they are doing and it shows in the service and the quality of the food. The menu was different from some of the Indian restaurants we have tried in the past, but that encouraged us to try some new dishes and we were not disappointed. Highly recommended. read more

A wonderful find. Let me preface this review by pointing out that on this trip to London, we tasted two things we didn't think were possible: truly bad pizza, and truly bad Indian food. On our last night in the city, we wanted to drive the latter from our minds. Encouraged by the first review, we came to the Mango Tree. It was terrific, in every way: friendly, stylish, and with a flair for making every bite complex and wondrous. We returned to our lodgings with bellies full, smiles broad, and a happy place where the memories of another establishment's atrocious curry ceased to be. Please, go and enjoy. read more

My wife and I visited late in the evening. We were seated within 5 minutes with no reservation. This is not a large restaurant, so we may have been a bit lucky! Being the simple Americans that we are, we ordered the classic choice of Chicken Korma and Tikka Misala, along with rice and naan. The food was ready in a normal amount of time. Not fast, not slow. The korma was sweeter than what we are used to, and the tikka misala was spicier than expected as well, but this just added to the variety and everything tasted great. We felt the price was reasonable too. Our female servers were nice, and the male manager was nice to us, but at one point he seemed angry and started arguing with one of his female staff. We couldn't tell what he was saying, but we felt bad for her, and it all really just seemed inappropriate and disrespectful. Maybe they were just having a stressful night. I hope that isn't the norm. So anyhow, 5 stars for the food, but 4 stars overall. If you like Indian food, give this place a try. read more

Small, glass fronted restaurant on tucked away side street at the back of Borough Market area. Quite cosy inside. Nice menu with some standard Indian restaurant dishes and some variations. Our order came quite quickly and service was good. Chicken dish with coconut was a nice variation on the norm and my partner's lamb jalfrezi met the standard. Side dishes: dahl a bit dry and a touch bland. Naan bread was OK. read more
