We stopped by this restaurant over the weekend and had a really good experience. Upon entering the restaurant you'll notice it's really small and cozy. Once inside the owners take incredible care of you with a wonderfully positive attitude and lots of chit chat and care. We both ordered the special, which was cashew chicken with rice noodles. We both really enjoyed this dish. The portion size was really large and it probably was enough for two meals but we finished it all because it was so good. My husband ordered the spring rolls with his combo and he said they were really good. Since I'm both gluten and lactose intolerant, I couldn't order the spring rolls but I was served a delicious side salad with a heavenly lemon vinaigrette. The salad dressing was so good I wish I could have bought a bottle to take home. lol Would we return? Absolutely! read more

We made a reservation but noticed the takeout menu had so many more options than the dine in. I called to see if they would make the vegan gf yellow curry for me at dine in and they said yes. The only thing is the mains were being served as individual combos vs sharing plates but we were fine with this. When we arrived there were only 2 tables left....one reserved for us and the other for another family. There was a line up outside for take out. After speaking to the people in line we found they were regulars and came often. One said the butter chicken was awesome, "like Christmas in your mouth":)) We had our Covid tests and I'd checked and then were seated. Hubby had the mango lassi and laziz chicken with rice and naan. He thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the yellow curry with rice and Thai garden salad. The salad had a nice homemade dressing that was sweet and refreshing. The curry was tasty and veggies cooked well. Nim, the owner, said her husband is the chef and her 2 daughters help out. They have had the restaurant for 15 years. Very lovely family. The only dessert is mango ice cream made by the chef but it is dairy based so we didn't have any. Excited to go back to try various items off their Indian and Thai menu. read more

Mango Rain - Yellow veg curry - Canadian (New) Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

See all

The Yelp reviews lead me to try this place out and ... I'm not sure where they went but unfortunately the friendly and family run service didn't match up to the food. I really don't want to provide a bad review but I do want to warn people to expect Thai food quality similar to ones you find in the food court but unfortunately more expensive. So in downtown Clarkson and off in a really tiny old strip mall is Mango Rain. It's a super tiny place alright... maybe only 10 tables in total with not a lot of seating. The service is clearly run by a family with an adorable younger girl helping out. I ordered by the phone and when I arrived, everything was set to go... or at least I thought it was. With a simple order of the Thai vegetarian stir fried dish and an app of the chicken satay, the total came over close to $30. It seemed on the higher end for 1 person but if it tasted good and good quality, I wouldn't have that much issue. When I got back, I noticed there was no napkins, utensils ... nothing. Though I guess I could have asked when I was in the restaurant but most places do include them that I've been lately. Thai stir fried vegetarian dish (Pad Pak RaumMit) - When I opened up the container... call me surprised. There was tons of liquid... and not a sauce but looks like a very heavy dark brown soup. It was at least 2 cm deep. Though this was a $14 dish, I've received more vegetables at other places for $10... and much better cooked. The broccoli was over cooked and very mushy. I couldnt tell if it was cooked from frozen but it definitely didnt taste right. Same went for the the bok choy... overcooked to the point it was just like a wet tissue. As for the 'soup'... Im not sure what is very Thai with it but it wasn't strong in any flavour... including Chinese soy based ones. All in all... for $14, it certainly was not a good dish at all and only filled the container maybe 60%. 1/5 Chicken Satay - This app was better... mild grilled marks on it and it was bordering on being dry and overcooked but at least the marinade made it taste pretty good. The peanut sauce wasn't very peanutty and the cucumber side salad literally fit in a tiny sauce container. It was ok overall 3/5 I wish this was a better experience for me but I'm really puzzled on all the great reviews. Owners maybe nice and kind but their kitchen isn't doing them any favours... if anything, I will unfortunately warn you to look for food elsewhere. read more

The restaurant setting is a little bit more intimate as it is a small place, however they were able to accommodate a group of 7. Parking was definitely hard to find especially with other food options in the plaza, however we were able to squeeze into a small spot. I got the chicken pad Thai with a mild spice level as I can't take any heat. However, they do offer a three tier spice level to their dishes - mild (0), medium (2), and hot (4) for those that like it spicy. Their lunch portions were generous and the pad Thai tastes delicious! read more

Mango Rain - Chicken Pad Thai - not the greatest photo (sorry), but the taste is definitely spot on! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

We got there early this past Thurs, around 5:45 pm and were the first people there. By 6:30 pm seven out of the ten or twelve tables were occupied. I recommend getting there early to avoid waiting as it is a popular local spot. We shared a Thai Tom Kap Vegetarian soup ($6.45) and it delicious. A nice melding of coconut milk, lemon grass, and ginger as well as lots of vegetables. Large enough to share if you have an average appetite. We loved the cashew chicken but made the mistake of not going with the co-owner's recommendation in terms if spice level. She suggested 4 was hot but we asked for level 6 hotness and that was too hot and over powered the subtle sweetness of the dish. They were generous with the cashews! The vegetarian pad Thai ($13.95) was disappointing as the noodles were sticky (or over cooked) and lacked the subtle sweet (palm sugar) and tangy (from tamarind). A side of white basmati rice was $3.45. One person ordered a 5 oz glass of the house wine. Our total came to $50 + tip. My guest felt that was pricey for 2 but I thought it was okay. Judging from the convo around me people living in the area came regularly and love the place. Jack Darling Memorial Park is a 4 min drive and a lovely place to walk by the water after a delicious meal. My friend recommended the lamb Laziz and I heard people around me ordering it while we were there. I would go again. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Both husband and wife work here and make delicious Thai and Indian dishes. Friendly atmosphere and great service! The best Mango salad. Eggplant Curry is a must have. read more

Ask yourself: what if the people at Mango Rain were even remotely polite? It would be such a beautiful world... one where we would eat delicious food, have generally pleasant exchanges, and everyone would be happy. But alas, that is but a dream, and reality rears its ugly heard once again, bringing us back down from that glorious Mango Rain in the sky. For now we must endure the rudeness, cancel the order, and keep moving. Onto a new dream, I suppose. read more

Had dinner with CO-workers tonight. From the outside I wasn't too sure about the place. However upon entry we found it quiet and quaint. The owners served us and were extremely pleasant. Overall excellent food and experience. read more

We visit this Clarkson favourite at least twice a month and are never disappointed. Dishes take a little time even when the resto is not busy and for me that is a good sign. The male server, who seems to be there only on weekends, is a hoot! E.G. If you point at a dish that is not one of his favourites he has been known to move your finger along the menu to a better choice. Satay Chicken, Aloo Gobi and Pad Thai top our list. Enjoy. read more

A very dear friend treated me to dinner here while visiting for work. She had the vegetable Biryani and I very much enjoyed the Butter Chicken. This is one of the restaurants that makes eating in the Toronto Mississauga area so enjoyable. This was absolutely the best Butter Chicken that I have ever had. The sauce was super rich and flavorful and the chicken was so tender that I never used my knife. Lastly, the service was excellent. read more

Always good, usually great can't wait until they are back open. There are only a handful of local restos I truly hope survive, this is one of them. read more

My fiancé and I have only been there a few times but we love it and would highly recommend it. It has a very intimate setting with soft lighting, relaxing music , exceptional staff and a romantic yet family like atmosphere. It is small but that is what makes it so personal!! Please give it a try , you will definitely not be disappointed ! I promise!! S&MD read more

Mango Rain had a cozy, intimate atmosphere, and I was very happy with my meal. The lamb panang was rich in flavor and pleasantly sweet.

Outstanding food. Every dish can be customized to heat level preference. Careful...level 5 is HOT. Staff are fun and attentive. Highly recommend. We get take out and eat in....both have been great. Try the mango ice cream. You won't regret it. read more

Great menu option for those who are gluten free! I am in love with the butter chicken!!

Foods good, price is on the high side, staff is very friendly. Nice place for a date night.

One of my favourite places to frequent close to home. Wonderful ambience. Service is a little slow but the wait is well worth it. I like the fact that unlike most other places that have simmered down their spice levels to cater to all types, this place actually gives you an option to pick your comfort levels of spice and the food is flavourful - both Indian as well as Thai or a fusion for some. Everything we ordered was fantastic read more

The place is very small to the extent that you can overhear conversations from all tables there. The service is attentive and the waiters are courteous. I liked the Indian food more than their Thai. We found the Thai food not upto our expectation and couldn't finish most of those dishes. Little disappointed with own experience considering it has glowing reviews everywhere. The quantities are decent but very expensive for the quality you get. I wouldn't go back again, ever. read more

A little jewel in a strip mall. Good food, great naan & mango lassi, friendly service and good prices. The biryani is very spicy.

Mango Rain offers Indian food as if it was cooked at home, from scratch, by an Indian mega superstar chef! Ok, let me start with the fact that my husband is Indian by descent and a gastro fanatic by his middle name. He is hardly ever happy with any restaurants we go to and usually the place has to be well above good to earn his second visit. But enough about the nature of my family policy on eating out choices. We chose to dine at Mango Rain based on a list of great reviews on Yelp, Tripadvisor, Urbanspoon and Insauga. The three of us (me, my husband and his brother) were first turned down due to a packed Friday night, however, after calling back an hour later we were able to convince Peter, the host to book us a table before they closed. My husband and his brother were a bit sceptical of the place at first but boy were we surprised when the food arrived. We ordered Shrimp Pakora, Coconut Soup, Vegetarian Lazis, Butter Chicken, some Naan bread and rice. Everything was AMAZING! We cook Indian food frequently at home, using only freshly ground spices, no commercial mixes. This is the first time ever, we had a food tasting just like made at home in a restaurant. Mango Rain is a small place, but so are diamonds and they are very special. This diamond is worth coming back to. P.S.: Sorry I have no mention regarding dessert, we were too full to have and but I do recommend the house Riesling. read more

Shrimp Biryani is perfect. Too bad I didn't have them spice it up due to the kids potentially wanting some. Next time, will get the kids lots of garlic butter naan and go spicy. So many good items to try. read more

Ordered takeout lastnight for dinner...not bad. Nice small place. We ordered shrimp pad thai and yellow curry chicken with basmati rice and it was pretty good. I wouldn't say amazingly authentic but close enough and the spices were just right and I like the fact that they didnt go cheap with the shrimps in the pad thai like some restaurants out there. I would definitely go back for dinner. read more

Absolutely stunning. It's rare for me to be impressed by an Indian restaurant. This place did it. Many claim to cook from scratch but this place actually does it. The food is sublime with exquisite flavors and texture. An experience not to be missed! read more

What a cute little restaurant - I'm so glad I tried this place a few weeks ago. Cosy restaurant, good food and friendly staff. Yes the wait for food was a little long but all was forgotten when it did come. Will definitely recommend and visit the place again. read more

Absolutely love this place! Perfect combination of Thai and Indian cuisines. Their vindaloo is amazing. Butter chicken is amazing. Plus their green curry shrimp is to die for. Highly recommended. read more

This place is soooooo good! I work nearby and I am there at least once a week. Their butter chicken with naan is to die for. Other really good stuff is their cashew nut chicken and chana masala with naan or rice. read more

One of my favourite restaurants. Wonderful food! They are very consistent in flavour whether or not you dine in or order out. My favourite dishes are the Cashew Nut Chicken, and Butter Chicken. You can tell their food is made with love because I'm sure it takes a lot of time to develop the flavours in their dishes. I'm a big fan. read more

My all-time favourite restaurant. It's a nice, quiet restaurant that offers the best Indian/Thai food. Everything is made fresh, and made to order. You can absolutely taste the quality with each dish. My favourites are the Lamb Korma, Cashew Chicken, and the Saffron rice. The restaurant can get quite busy, given the limited space. It's best to go the day before/after the holidays to avoid waiting. The staff are always super friendly and super pleasant! read more

It is not the best Thai/Indian restaurant, but its not bad. It is very tiny and like a lot of these types of restaurants the service is bad; it is slow and indifferent and cold. read more

This is probably my favourite restaurant on earth. If you are vegetarian, this place is great and my friends who eat meat rant and rave too. Small, local, made fresh to order stunning Indian and Thai cuisine. Mouth watering, worth coming back to again and again. When I visit my folks who live up the street I usually show up with a bag of the Tofu Makhani and Dhal Makhani with a few pieces of their amazing garlic naan bread just because it's close. Check this place out. Simply delicious, gorgeous food. read more

One of the worst meals I have had at a restaurant in living memory. This restaurant came recommended to us and the online reviews were similarly strong, but they do not represent our experience. The staff were very nice and we were optimistic about the Indian-Thai fusion cuisine because we love food from both of these countries. We started with the vegetable pakora which were soft, mushy and partially uncooked in the center. My wife's vegetarian korma had a green-grey colour instead of the creamy yellow it should have. The texture and taste were as if the base sauce had been sitting in the freezer for months. My chicken laziz tasted like it had come out of a grocery store bottle. The spices were poorly balanced and the chicken had been cooked separately in a skillet and then mixed into the sauce, so the taste of the curry did not penetrate the meat. I find the Yelp rating of this restaurant bizarrely effusive. If you love food and especially if you love Thai or Indian you will be sadly disappointed. read more

Intolerant server toward clients with health issues. I was just visiting this part of the city/country and I was invited to this restaurant by a good friend. Since I do not much about Thai or Indian Cuisine I wanted to try it plus Canada is well known for their diversity and that includes cuisine. We arrived and I noticed the menu had a spicy (hot) in some items in the menu so I asked the waitress who was a Thai lady about a specific salad and main dish and I asked her if they were spicy as I told her I could not tolerate It will make me sick it due to my health. She told me that it will have Zero ( even making a gesture with her hands) spicy so I proceed to order it. The salad was perfect and no spicy at all. When the main dish came and I tried it I noticed that it was spicy so I stopped eating it and asked her to please check because it was spicy and started drinking a lot of water. Then she went inside the kitchen and came back to tell me that it was no spice added but that was the minimum of spicy they could do. She never mentions again the zero spicy. So I asked what about Zero spice you told me, she said nothing and told me they could make fried rice with chicken and I accepted it but told her to make sure that it had not spice which it did not. It was an ok dish but as being part of the good vibes we had in the group I ate it some of it. She came back saying a few times: "no spicy ".... "no spicy"; remarks I ignored I thought she was just trying to be apologetic. For dessert, I asked for a Mango ice cream as I love Mango. She brought it and said: "it had not spicy", again. A remark I again ignored. But when she brought the bill, she said " the Ice cream is on the house" and then she added "sorry we made you cry" and that was it. I told her that I did not appreciate her joking about a health condition I had, a condition which I had advised her in advance. She could have said not at the beginning and tell me that all food was spicy and it would have been fine with me, next time no Thai, lesson learned but making fun of my health condition, unacceptable. I do not recommend this place as they are completely intolerant to people with health conditions. No one came to apologize for her behavior and she just left with an angry face towards me, as if I had been the one in fault. I will never go back, if I am ever in this City. This is something should never have happened. I cannot believe this happen in Canada. I hope is just an isolated incident. A very bad experience, my friend was very apologetic but it was not her fault. read more

Great place located off lakeshore. Staff is friendly as they come, and food is authentic and amazing. Spice levels range from 1-30 so lots of room to adjust. Recommend the chicken laziz with rice! read more

Great food, attentive staff. I haven't tried everything, but what I have has been great! Highly recommend.

My husband and I are frequent goers to Mango Rain. It is one of the best Indian food places we have been too.

I ordered some Indian takeout from this restaurant on the way home from work a few days ago. The order was only for butter chicken and the vegetable korma with two naan on the side. The total for the order with tax came to $35. When the wife and I got home we were rather disappointed with the food, both the quality and the quantity. The butter chicken was nothing special, and the cream sauce it was prepared in was both too sweet and seemed to have residue of coconut milk in it (probably because the restaurant also does Thai dishes). The vegetable korma was even more disappointing, as probably 75% of the "vegetable" content was chunks of potato, with a couple pieces of green pepper and a couple pieces of carrot to be found. Both dishes were extremely small portions, the butter chicken especially as the styrofoam container it was in barely held a cupful (more like appetizer-size), and the naan breads also smallish. For a price of 14$ a dish, these prices are a rip off. I've had the same takeout dishes from many other Indian restos in Mississauga and in Brampton, and these were the smallest and not particularly good. I will not be ordering any takeout or patronizing their dining room in the future. read more
