Review Mango Restaurant & Bar Nelson - Nelson

Customer service is amazing!! Super friendly and polite. Food is also great, left us full and definitely feeling like we got the bang for our buck!! Left a little note when booking that its our 2 year anniversary and they gave us a a cheesecake slice with some mango ice cream and it was delicious! Amazing place, DEFINITELY recommend and its not even expensive! 10000/10 if I could.

Mango's is 100% a great place to dine. We frequent this restaurant and the front of house man is beyond friendly, kind and remembers his customers. The food is delicious and comes out hot and within a reasonable time. If you’re after a laid back, comfy, friendly, great food place to have a meal I highly recommend Mangos in Nelson!

Always used to go more often a few years ago so chose lunch here today. A wise decision as it was really, really delicious. Five of us for my daughter's birthday. Very difficult to choose from so many tempting dishes on the main menu. We all had something different and tried each one. The food was freshly cooked and absolutely superb. Excellent service, couldn't wish for more. Can't wait to go again.

The food is very great and the service is very great, especially as Mr. Ravi's treatment is high in ethics and good handling.

Most amazing food, always is consistently good from here, Samosa is good not oily Naan and curry were super good and flavourful Recommend best in Nelson.

Lamb briyani ($11.99) was good and the Peshawari Naan ($5) which was stuffed with nuts and raisins/sultanas, was yummy! Made special request for the briyani to be not so spicy as we had kids. Kids (age 5, 8, 12) loved the food! We liked the interior deco and the staff were polite. (visited restaurant during lunch time in October 2018)

Great food in good price👌🏼 authentic Indian cuisine and interiors.highly recommend, love the curry malai kofta and the starter combo . Naan was very soft 👍

Good curries. They tasted very well and went well with the rice. Good atmosphere. Service was average. Pricing is pretty standard as well. #indian

Delish food highly recommended platter & dessert served with a smile. Will DEFFINTLY go back😊

From the interior design feature, it is good place to show me the Indian characters by colors, wallpaper and posters. The curry vege suits me just perfectly. Recommended !

These guys deserve more attention! The indo-chinese tandoori chicken fried rice is packed with a ton of authentic flavors and Chinese street style wok hei in the dish was delicious. A great fusion of flavours and a must try if you are in Nelson.

Probably one of the best Indian restaurant I’ve tried in NZ. Loved the food and very friendly staff

Really authentic tasting Indian curries. Each with its own distinct flavour. Good service and fast serving.

Great food, awesome atmosphere and excellent service...thanks

Fantastic food!!💛

Good food and generous portion sizes. Mango lassi let the food/drink down unfortunately but everything else we ordered was well spiced and well cooked. The restaurant was quite empty which left a slightly quiet atmosphere but we'd definitely eat here again.

The best north Indian food we have eaten in NZ so far. Tikka masala, lamb and naan were all perfect! Even nasi goreng. We ended up ordering the next day too.

Over the past few weeks my family and I have been to Mango twice. The food from this restaurant we all agreed was the most divine Indian food we have ever eaten. We would recommend it to everyone.

Best Indian we've had in ages - great malai kofta 👌

Indian food for white people

The portions were large so there was lots to enjoy and the naan bread was made to absolute perfection <br/>The customer service here was also very good and people were literally complimenting the place on the way out. <br/>Very much recommend this place

The food is amazing. We were 6 people and ordered Paneer Butter Masala, Dal Makhani and Chicken Curry. The quantity is apt and taste was amazing. The service is quick. Fully recommend Chicken Curry.

Food was good ish however the service took waaaaay too long!! Was about 5-10mins before we even got menus, then about another 20 before anyone took a drink or food order. And a table that came in after us was seen first which was quite annoying.

A beautiful restaurant the ambience is great !! A very comfortable place with family and friends !! The staff is also very good, Sure this restaurant will come next week

Utterly disgusted with the way Mango Restaurant & Bar Nelson treat loyal customers! Orderder a family takeaway last week at just after seven it arrived over an hour later... cold and one meal missing!! Why offer a delivery service if you have no way of keeping food warm?? I made three call to the restaruant asking where our food was and was fobbed of feach time. Theh when I call to say the order is cold and missing a meal im told they can cook another one and deliver....I explained as we are loyal customers they really ought to do more. Just been in to complain and ask for a refund to be told... he could get the chefs to cook a beef curry now!!!!!! seriously a week later??? When will local businesses realise that this time of year it us locals that keep them in business?? The restaurant only had three tables full not like people were queiung out the door, You have now lost loyal customers, who have always recomemend you in the past and brought lots of custom your way. Disgusted by your lack of service - Shame on you

Not busy at all so was good food and a good meal only problem I had was I felt they came to the table soon as you had finished and my coke in my drink was flat

We ordered online via their website and recieved a confirmation but when we showed up 15 mins later they hadn't see our order so had to make from scratch then (not ideal, if you offer online ordering you need to check it!)<br/><br/>The food was very average but that might be our fault for ordering Malaysian from an Indian restaurant. Very few veges, not tofu even though it was listed on the menu and not very flavoursome. Our roti was also rubbery as if it had been microwaved.<br/><br/>Pretty disappointed but might try the Indian at some point.

The good thing going for this place is the Mango brand. And it just so happens that this is the second best place in NZ that I've had Malaysian food. The best by far is Satay Kingdom in Wellington but hey I digress.<br/><br/>Three of us came here after the Nelson Masked Parade and regretably I haven't been back since but the others have quite regualrly.<br/><br/>The accompanying roti with my meal made the dish! Plus the supersonic speed which we were served was a bonus too because I hate waiting and waiting and waiting for a meal to be served especially on an empty stomach.<br/><br/>You won't need to save up all week to eat here and you'll leave with a full and staisfied belly

I am a big fan of Mango restaurants, lately I haven't been raving about the service. Then this week I took my children to the Nelson branch. This was the best service and food we had experienced at Mango. Well done I had the Safron chicken for the 1st time amazing. We had the banquet for two amazing value for money, go easy on the rice.

I was with the family on holiday in Nelson - We had a nice lunch: Beef Madras, a mini meal and the nanwich for the kids.<br/>The food was delicious and it was reasonably priced. Only $27 for 2 adults and 2 kids.<br/><br/>Don't expect lots of food or a lot of meat but considering the price it's okay. <br/><br/>It is defiantly much better value than eating a subway or a burger. <br/><br/>The service was very prompt and we enjoyed the quiet time in the restaurant.

My partner and I always come to Mango Nelson for great service and delicous Mango Safron Chicken, I cant get this dish anywhere else, it is honestly amazing.

A budget friendly night out with the coffee group mums, but not awesome.<br/>A large group table took the attention of the staff, not bothering to offer any desserts (so we went to Sweet As for them). The meals are what they are, they could definately use a little more of the meat components in each dish.<br/>Ambience is lacking something, staff just do their jobs.

Have been to Mango twice, the first time was ok enough for me to go back a second time but that was a mistake, ordered the Mango Chicken....you'd think you'd get chicken in a dish called "Mango Chicken" I think there was about 3 pieces, it was just all gravy &amp; even that was abit bland. Won't be back.

I've revised this review as after our latest visit things seem to have changed a little bit and I wonder if there is new management.<br/><br/>The onion bhajia is one of the best I've ever had and the meals were very tasty, the order was delivered correctly.<br/><br/>Apparently though some things don't change as the service is still very lackadaisical - no niceties like smiling or clearing plates at the end of the meal etc. <br/><br/>Good for crowds and large gatherings though as it has almost no atmosphere at all, create your own in a functional space.<br/>

I go there often for takeaway lunch. Enjoy their curries and naanwiches :)

Went to this place with a couple of friends as we thought we will get decent Malaysian food. The menu is more towards Indian cuisine but I taught “hey, there’s nothing wrong with that”. The waitress came to take order even before we get to look at the menu. We asked for a couple of minutes but the other waitress approach us right after the other left asking the same question. We did not want to be rude so we placed our order in hurry.<br/><br/>I ordered their chicken laksa described as delicious chicken cooked in curry with noodle and fresh vegetable with boiled egg but when the food turn up in small bowl, the content was so thick that I couldn't even swallow it without feeling like I’m eating a lump of fat. There was only a small amount of noodle (more like a quarter of those noodle you get in a packet of instant noodle). The vegetable consist of 1 piece of broccoli and 2 half green bean tasted like they just been thawed in microwave.<br/><br/>Went to pay after feeling sick at the end of the meal. Had to go to the counter twice as none of them seems interested to take even swipe the eftpos card. I was charged NZD14.99 and I was thinking wait a minute, the menu said it is NZD13.99. I told the waitress that she mistakenly charged me extra dollar but she suddenly became annoyed at me and said the till charged that price and that is what I HAVE to pay. She said they change the price a month ago on the till but not on the menu. So I have to pay NZD14.99. I asked to talk to the manager but she said he was out and I have to wait for 10 minutes for him to come back if I want the NZD1. At the end, they called the manager and was told to give me back the extra NZD1 that they charged me. She still insist that I should have paid NZD14.99 when she handed me the dollar.<br/><br/>I'm a Malaysian and I'm embarrassed that this restaurant is promoted as Malaysian restaurant. Nothing about it represent Malaysia.<br/><br/>Bad food, rude waitresses and horrendous service!

The experience for a large group tonight was disappointing. Service was slack with the waitress avoiding the table and giving sharp and rude answers to questions on top of trying to move a baby in a capsule down to another end of the table for convenience reasons which wasn't necessary as it wasn't a hazard. Took one of the table asking to order drinks and then food to be able to order anything. The food itself was lovely but that is a credit to the kitchen staff not the service. The whole table of 11 was shocked by the rudeness of the waitress and would definitely think twice before returning.

As a non-fan of the Mango restaurant situated in Richmond, I was a little more than slightly apprehensive about trying the one based in Nelson City, but my friends continue to rave about how good it is, so I decided to give it a second chance. Well, the decor and room setup was MUCH more improved as opposed to the small, crowded one in Richmond. The food wait time was brief and when the food arrived I was VERY happy with the outcome. There were MANY vegetarian options available and I ordered a chana masala which tasted perfect and I could choose my preferred level of spice. My fellow diners both ordered lamb korma and loved it too. We also ordered some naan bread which was very tasty and the staff were always friendly and welcoming. Only issue I had was with some fellow diners who were in a table across the room who seemed to be a bit tipsy and kept yelling and laughing loudly, however I understand that some customers are difficult to deal with. Will DEFINITELY be back soon!

Always have fantastic food and friendly service. Excellent value for money

I give Mango Restaurant 10 out of 10 best value best food and best service.<br/>They deserve the Nobel price for the best restaurant. You will want to go back and back and taste all 43 dishes

We were on the way to the airport last Friday and picked up takeaways from Mango to eat at the airport. Thanks to the staff for the great service and food was wonderful as always.

I am not too sure what to say really. I saw their advert in one of the tourist guides and got interested in the look and concept of fresh, healthy Indian/Asian food. But I was completely disappointed with everything while I was there. It was not fast or healthy as they claim. It is just another middle of the road Indian restaurant with big branding as something unique. I had Lamb Masala wich was just okay. My partner's Palak Paneer tasted funny, the spinach tasted like it has gone off. The manager (could be owner) was really trying hard to keep the show running but he severely lacked professionalism. Must be new in the industry. The deco was a patch work and seemed confused... 'neither here nor there'. Altogether the place did not look clean. Oh and we did not get any water to drink till we asked for it after finishing our meal. Dont think we will give it another try. :(

I think the Richmond Mango restaurant is great. We go there very regularly and have always had wonderful dining experiences or takeaways. We have never had a bad meal there.

Have eaten at Mango Restaurant several times and I always find their food fantastic and the service fast &amp; friendly. Their menu also represents great value for money. Highly recommended !

From day 1 it has been my favorite restaurant. Very tasty food and unbelievably reasonable price. Great service too. Highly recommended.

What can I say? I dine at Mango at least three times a week. Great food, excellent service and great people! Wouldn't imagine dining anywhere else in Nelson or Richmond. Absolutely Love It!!
