"After reading the reviews online my partner decided to bring me here to celebrate my new job. First impressions were bad, it’s extremely deceptive compared to how it’s pictured on the website, it’s very dark and gloomy, there was no obvious sign outside, especially as we came in the dark so we drove past it twice. The sign outside could do with some light decor. Prior to coming to Mango Room my partner called to book the table and informed them of my new job celebration and had asked the waitress if she could make the table look somewhat fancy/different to the other tables as a surprise for me in which she agreed to doing. When we arrived he asked her where the table was and she said “pick whatever table you want” meaning she completely disregarded his request. After receiving the menu that was broken and looked extremely cheap and flimsy for the prices they charge, I also realised the food was very overpriced. I asked the waitress for the set menu and she said that only gets provided for groups of people over 10. It didn’t state that on the website and can be misconstrued as false advertisement. I can not believe for one small portioned size jerk chicken it cost £13 alone you then have to pay extra for a side which is around 3.50 4.00. When reluctantly ordering the food which was Jerk chicken rice peas, we also requested coleslaw and dumplings, the waitress replied “we don’t do coleslaw or dumplings here, the owner doesn’t like it” ... it’s not about what the owner doesn’t like it’s about your food audience. How can you run a Caribbean restaurant without coleslaw or dumplings? It’s key in West Indian food. I found that to be very obscured. The waitress then said “it’s fine dining, we don’t do that here”... I did not know consuming dumplings and coleslaw meant it was not fine dining. Whilst waiting for my food, I asked for some water the waitress brought out a jug of water which seemed to have a booger stain on the side, very very off putting. When the food eventually came out in which waiting time wasn’t long because the restaurant wasn’t busy, the plates were extremely hot, it seemed as though the chef just reheated/microwaved the rice and peas causing the dish within itself to be piping hot to the point where I couldn’t even hold it and had to messily dish out the rice myself with the small spoon provided. The rice and peas were extremely overcooked and stodgy, there was hardly any gravy with the jerk chicken. The jerk chicken was undercooked, had no flavour whatsoever and did not fall of the bone with basic sweet pepper slice and red onions for decoration. The plantain was extremely undercooked, very burnt on the outside and tasted wet, clumpy and soggy on the inside I’ve never tasted plantain so renk. The waitress did give us complimentary tulip glasses of champagne, which was nice. My partner did say that he enjoyed his curry goat which was very tender, he had that with plain rice. Overall I feel this restaurant is extremely overrated, extortionate and wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. The only pros were the company I had and leaving. I would’ve much preferred going turtle bay, the atmosphere and decor is so much better and you get your monies worth. Turtle Bay is extremely commercial so this is a huge compliment to them as I’m not too fond of them either."

Nice food, and the staff were patient even with a particularly lively table nearby

The food at this restaurant was fantastic! Both the starter and main course were cooked to perfection. The ambiance was pleasant, with a bit of reggae music playing in the background. I highly recommend this place – it offers high-quality Caribbean cuisine.

Love the atmosphere, all waiters were attentive and the food was delicious. We ordered Ackee and Saltfish and fritters for starters, seafood platter and snapper mains with some sides and I swapped out cinnamon (dairy) ice cream in my flambéed banana dessert for mango sorbet and it was just right! Cocktails were perfect too. Can’t wait to return

On November 18th, my brother celebrated his birthday with friends and family at this restaurant. The service was excellent, up to a 5-star standard. The food, prepared by Roger, was delicious. The staff were wonderful. We had a variety of dishes to choose from, including three-course meals. I will definitely be returning and would recommend this restaurant to others.

The food we had was pretty disappointing. The jerk chicken looked nothing like jerk chicken and was not as flavoured. The lamb curry seemed to be a bit better. Still, the portions were small and we left the place hungry. The ambiance of the place feels elevated so if you wanted to come here for a date it would be a good place for it. However, I personally still value good, tasty food over everything else.

I had lunch at this restaurant and found the food to be decent, simple, and nicely presented. I ordered the seafood soup, which was tasty but could have had more depth of flavor. The curry goat was flavorful but not spicy as expected, and it did not come with potatoes or carrots as stated on the menu - they were blended into the sauce. The portion size was generous, so I would suggest getting a side of salad or rice to share. The service was good with no problems, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed and inviting.

Very disappointing! I was overjoyed to learn that one of my favourite restaurants was open again, I called them up and discovered the location had changed but the chefs were the same... We were seating on a table for 4 people but the tables were different height sizes, but okay thats fine I guess... It was freezing in there which left me feeling like I wanted to keep my coat on the whole time... I was a loyal customer perviously and loved their curry goat and roti, along with the coconut curry chicken and rice... the curry goat came warm and the roti hot... the coconut chicken was awful and not anything like it was previously, also the basmati rice wasn't up to its usual light and fluffy sta...

Booked for a 65th birthday for 6 adults and baby last Sunday from 1pm and literally had the entire restaurant to ourselves!! Art on wall very vibrant and decor in general feels like you could easily be transported into a restaurant in the Caribbean. The one waitress who worked on that day was polite and friendly. We could see the kitchen and only saw one chef who somehow managed to cook our entire meals by himself without making us wait for ages!?! Food was tasty and flavoursome however coming from a West Indian background we felt it was missing that spicy-ness and tang we 'd expect from Caribbean food. Nevertheless each meals from starters to desert were nicely presented. The alcoholic cock...
