Blue Mango in St. Helens

Our favourite Indian restaurant of all time. Been coming for 18 years and the staff are all like family! Special shout out to Ryan and Mr Ali! As you'll see from my other reviews we eat A LOT of indian food but no matter where we go, nothing compares to the high quality dishes served here. I'd recommend to everyone.

Just been The Blue Mango I have been here loads of times and the food is lovely, I would highly recommend 👌😋

Really enjoyed the food so much going back tonight with friends it's a must if you like a good curry.

We regularly get a takeaway from here. Unfortunately it is not as good as it once was. Last few times there is always food missing causing us to have to drive back. Last night we asked them to check the bags as we did not want to come back, they assured us they had but stuff was missing again. Biryani’s were bland, keema naan was somehow blander than the plain naan. Paratha was like rubber. We won’t go back now as it’s very expensive and we are usually disappointed.

This is a great Indian restaurant in Rainhill. Food is great and portions are good sized. Really enjoyed the specials menu as it had lots of variety. Surroundings are very nice.

This is a very friendly and sociable restaurant that caters for young and old. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The poppadoms were fresh and crispy, the dips as usual well presented and tasty. Our starters surpassed the description, king prawn puree was tasty and the prawns wonderful. Mango mixed kebab starter well cooked and tasty. We were given the opportunity to have a break before our main course and this was appreciated. Main course again freshly cooked and tasty, we share a meal, pillau riceand naan between us , thank goodness as soooo much food. Thank you Blue Mango for wonderful food and service. 👍

Amazing restaurant and service. Mohit is so friendly and funny too! Great experience!

Lovey food very yummy 😋, brilliant staff , would highly recommend

We want for my dad's birthday 9 of us including 3 kids excellent service friendly staff and food was just amazing couldn't fault any of it thanks so much will definitely be visiting again

Very busy saturday evening, arrived without a booking, but sat and waited in bar area for a table to become available, took a bit longer than expected, but the Service & Food made up for it. Look forward tp returning again soon.

Nice atmosphere and decore, food was really nice and.staff we nice and friendly, price was reasonable and wouldgo back

Always looked after and food brilliant

Booked a table for two for our 10 year anniversary, we booked here because we knew it wouldn’t let us down. I also love the pina colada’s here so I treated myself to 2! The food was lovely and we really enjoyed it! The honey chicken was a new try for me and it was gorgeous! See you again soon.

The Spicy Chilli Stir Fry start was delicious. The staff were friendly and the service was very fast.

Our second visit to this Indian restaurant and its becoming a firm favorite, the service and food on both occasions has been excellent. free parking at the rear is a bonus and the square at the front has several 'trendy' bars and restaurants, price wise I found it very reasonable and the portions are generous- no photos on this visit as it was a birthday meal out and busy interacting with people but I will definitely be returning soon 😀

We visited Blue Mango with the family and friends, the atmosphere is great, very clean, and love the water feature at the front entrance. Food was piping hot and delicious, kids asked for more lol staff are run ragged but stay very attentive which is brill. Food didn't take long at all to come an all so tasty my husband had the lamb biriani and there was so much we took it home and had it next day. Drinks are delivered quickly, and staff are quick to clear the table of the used plates. All in all, we had a great meal and enjoyed all the food and drinks. Would recommend a visit. This was our first visit but definitely will NOT be our last it's our new favourite Indian restaurant. Thanks to mo, who is a good laugh and gets any requests sorted super fast, so thank u ... see u soon.

The food was soo good, and the atmosphere was calm. Mo was such a nice server and super friendly.

This is such an amazing restaurant! Mo provided exceptional service and was so kind and attentive making sure everything was okay with our meal. Food was exceptional. I got the lamb balti with the cheese naan which tasted so good!

Not on menu ,but the Mixed Phal is absolutely to die for 💥

Had a lovely meal here last night....the food was delicious and presented beautifully and very hot ...the service was excellent and the staff were attenative especially Mo who who gave us a good table ...Will return that's for sure ..... 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Excellent meal, would go there again

Very nice. Went on a Wednesday evening and it was quite quiet. I'd imagine that it isn't always that way. I really enjoyed the food though.

Lovely place, food is tasty and the staff are very friendly, it's a nice relaxing place too, highly recommend!!!!!!.

Food is so bland, taste nothing like Indian food. Asked mains to be made spicy, even then came as bland, when told the staff, he said what do you expect in Liverpool, we were well disappointed

Ok food is standard nothing amazing Service is ok but the staff are really nice and wait on you hand and foot Prices are fair but could be better for what you get

Great food and staff - really enjoyed the night , good atmosphere as well - lucky it’s our local. Onion bhajis are amazing.

Vile, will never eat there again. Parts of the food cold other parts just microwaved and warmed up.

Cannot fault the place. Food was hot and delicious with a faultless service. Would definitely come here again.

Use to be really good but one Currys was to dry and meat didn't taste marinated enough.

Excellent food , great value , staff are lovely , very accommodating and Friendly always happy to go the extra yard for customers.

Have been ordering delivery and eating in for about 15 years. Tonight's £100+ delivery order has missing starters and wasn't the best in terms of quality and quantity. Won't be ordering or eating in again.

Service, food, and drink all excellent.

Good customer service, only thing was the paratha was a bit hard.

I have been to this restaurant twice now whilst being away with work. I am very picky when it comes to Indian food as my step dad was from India and my grandmother taught me how to cook Indian food (also spent many years as a restaurant manager) I can honestly say this has been the best Indian restaurant I have eaten in. The food was full of flavour, plenty of meat and the rice was so fluffy. The staff were very attentive and I wish there was somewhere like this closer to home so I didn’t have to cook myself as some dishes were just like my nan used to make. Great work guys

Ordered for a delivery, took ages to come, food was cold, popadoms smashed and some of order was missing, messaged restaurant but got no response at all. Was a regular customer but not any more, no response says it all, they don’t care once they’ve got your money

Nestled quietly in the middle of rainhill shopping square, the blue mango restaurant stands apart from the closed shops and the empty spaces. It is hiding in plain sight, a delight to taste, and at a reasonable price. We stayed for a Monday night meal, with the restaurant having plenty of space at 7pm. The decor is clean and styled nicely, the staff well majored, respectful and pleasant. Our drinks order was taken promptly and tasted great when they arrived. I had an old fashioned cocktail, and a beer. The wife enjoyed a pina colada and a lager with lime. Both very tasty, both great measures. For starters... Poppadoms and mixed kebab, then a mix of 2 mains. dansak and dupiaza with a side of pilau rice and Peshawar naan. The food was fantastic. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A definite 'on par' best Indian meal in the area. Even compared to the excellent flavours of "cottage Warrington". Having enjoyed many with the area, it goes without saying this is our new Local Indian! Excellent work 👍👏. We will be back

Massive selection of food Amazing Quality Food Service is exceptional

Service was poor. It took over 3 hrs for a 1 course meal plus pickle tray. They had missed us out and had to be reminded that we hadn't had our main meal. Won't be visiting again.

Been many times food beautiful staff lovely

Very good Indian restaurant with a varied menu

First time there tonight lovley restaurant Staff all friendly and food lovley. 👍

Great place to enjoy indian food

Well where shall I start …. Service… we had to shout literally for more drinks …. Clear are own table of empty plates. Food … starters was ok … the rest of the meal was bland….. oh they expected us to order our food with no menu’s…. Atmosphere was a joke !! as people were more concerned about getting drinks and food…. than enjoying themselves. The place is over priced and I certainly won’t be returning.

Awful delivery food, they promised to replace and 3 hours later nothing. Called to chase and was met with attitude! Would not recommend to anyone

Very good service excellent food

One of the areas best restaurants! Food is always excellent, we've been many times. The staff are friendly and attentive so it's a great place to dine in.

Everything about this place is just lovely. From the warm welcome, to the knowledgable wait staff, to the decor and ambience and finally the food!! It’s all just beautiful.. whether you are going for a special occasion or for a quick bite to eat you are treated with respect and courtesy. The food is literally to die for, we ate far too much at the beginning meaning we were struggling to fit our mains in - no bother, it was bagged up for us to enjoy at home! The menu is so extensive and you can tell the dishes within it are so well thought out and have meaning. I urge you to try this place / their chutney tray is the best I have ever had, hands down! That’s why we ate so many poppadoms! 😂 Starters we had the chicken & pineapple wrap and cod with mango salsa - delicious and light. For mains we went for a tandoori chicken biryani and an array of side dishes which all came home with us! Seriously, it’s a vibe, call into the cocktail lounge afterwards for a digestiv, you won’t regret it. Booking is recommended over the weekend I would say as it’s very busy.

A great restaurant for a family meal, from the organisation to the meal itself the staff really looked after us. The food was fantastic and there is a bar area with comfy booths to enjoy a pre/post meal drink in. Overall this was an awesome evening.

First time very nice food probably go back sometime

I've been here several times, and it's faultless the food is fresh and flavoursome and the staff are very friendly

food was the best I've had in age's

Waiters are either rushing you or nowhere to be seen. Cocktails just not mixed right. Food is average, nothing to write home about. Doubt we will be returning. Disappointed 😞

Gorgeous food. Lovely staff and owner. Made my dad's birthday really special.

Fantastic food beautiful restaurant brilliant staff owner very attentive constantly checking on his customers couldn’t fault it at all 10/10

Lovely visit to this restaurant. A varied menu, with the meals made fresh, tasty ingredients. Brilliant service. Will return

Defo recommend!! Decoration is stunning. Always the best food and friendly staff, vibes are there too

Not providing good service at all. Very bad experience

Very bad experience with the service. Need more friendly staffs

After reading all the positive reviews, we were very excited to try Blue Mango for the first time! My partner’s food came out lukewarm and tasted like supermarket curry paste. My mixed grill also came out lukewarm and lacked the fragrance and flavour you’d usually expect from it - thoroughly average. None of the grill dishes are served in sizzling pans as “they don’t do sizzlers”. The naan bread was fresh and tasty, and was sadly the highlight of our meal. We let the owner know our thoughts kindly and politely, he apologised and promised to sort something out for us next time we’re there. That’s not really any consolation when we have the problem with our meal *this* time. We should’ve been offered a discount off our bill. Alas, we paid, left disheartened, and now I’m writing a Google review for a restaurant - something I’m not sure I’ve ever done before. We’re sad more than anything as it’s got so much buzz about it here and on trip advisor. Guess it used to be a better establishment?

Called here for a takeaway Friday night having not been for a while. the bhajis were amazing and the Chicken Vindaloo was excellent and very tasty with a generous amount of meat. wonderful

We where aware of the food 1 star review back in may but thought we would give it a go in hope that changes have been made. We had never been before so nothing to compare it to. The cocktails …. Amazing. We ordered the chutney tray, which was nice but we found a long hair in one of the trays. We didn’t make a fuss, put it aside and moved on. The chicken in my curry wasn’t good quality, large red veins inside (I hope they are veins and not pink chicken) so finished up and decided it wasn’t for us but I hope they do improve. Lots of families and couples in the restaurant.

Good food from delivery it came quick

Brilliant food, service and music. 10 out of 10!!!

Great restaurant Beautiful food, first time Definitely coming again

AVOID I heard these guys where closed down and they had reopened again after improvements so decided to give them a go. Poor service over the phone, sounded like they where up the wall with no idea of what was going on. Food arrived, warm and didn’t looks familiar to my usual order. Dry chicken. Very tasteless. Tub’s that food arrived in where dripping with grease. I would not back here ever again. Very poor.

Always friendly, fantactic authentic food.

Fantastic food as always, and the best poppadoms our American relative had ever tasted. We’ve been customers for about 100 years, and for many reasons. Ryan works so hard for his customers, and is a long-standing pillar of the community. He has supported so many local events and is very much loved and appreciated. His team follow his example, and the result is a very fine restaurant at the heart of a thriving community. Get yourself down to the Blue Mango - you won’t be disappointed.

Really enjoyed the food and good service

Went to this restaurant one Saturday evening, on arrival the restaurant was empty with only about three tables occupied,the food was nice but the onion bhajis and the tandoori mixed grill were over cooked and dry,the service was good. We would visit again but give the bhajis and mixed grill a miss.

First time eating here excellent food pleasant staff. Stan

A couple of nights ago I had a stranger knock on the door. As I answered they said it was the food I’d ordered from the Blue Mango, which was unusual as I hadn’t ordered anything from there. The delivery driver was adamant it was me asking if my name was Will Poderosa. We went back and forth for a couple of minutes, during which they were quite rude. I’m not usually one to leave reviews but the attitude on the delivery driver was below what you’d expect. It’s seem like this restaurant had mixed reviews, but after seeing the 1 star viewing in the paper a few weeks back I would certainly consider eating else where.

I came in here and I looked at the menu and there where no blue mangoes I asked the chef for a blue mango he gave me a orange one 1 star

Not been for years and to be fair it was early on a Thursday so hardly anyone in. The popadoms and chutneys were good as were the meat samosas, the onion Bahjis were a bit in the small side so were dry my main course the lamb saag balti was lovely, however, the Biryani was tasteless and TBF they were really good about it and offered another selection but we were on a time limit (they took the cost of the meal off the bill)...fair play 👍🏻

Excellent place, very tasty food and efficient service. Onion Bahji's very crispy and delicious. Staff are all great, young lad Patrick was sound.

Just came back from blue mango restaurant 8th June 23 Absolute quality food, beer and service, you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to enjoy it, it’s very reasonably priced Staff can’t do enough for you, and a real tasty quality meal ( poppadoms, starters and mains absolute top class and quality You won’t go wrong in here Treat yourself today 👍😉🍺

Having resided in the locality for six years I decided to try this restaurant. And I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed a very nice prawn biryani dish with an excellent mango chutney. The atmosphere is excellent and the staff are wonderful. The bar is well-stocked and it makes for a nice evening visit.

The curry sauce (Achari meaning pickle) was wonderful, topped with fresh mango, and accompanied with marvellous Spinach and Garlic rice. Both these dishes were new to me. Chose lamb and the meat, while lovely, was full of bones. Popadums (apparently spicy) and chutney tray were okay. Service wasn't great to be honest.

We generally have take away from here and enjoy the dishes.

Didn't even know this restaurant was there. Lovely inside, lovely food, lovely staff. Whats more to say. Will be going again.

Ordered online for food at 19.20 given a delivery time of 20.20. Food arrived at 21.15 I called the restaurant to check on the order when the delivery time had passed to check on the progress but it arrived cold. Tasted the chips they were cold and hard. The delivery driver was very apologetic. due to the cost of meal (£50) therefore I declined to take the order. The driver was great tho and I offered him a tip for his troubles but he didn't accept due to the circumstances. I'm just Very disappointed hopefully othet people get a better service.

Never again !! Been here on and off over the past 15 years, had a takeaway meal tonight for me and my wife, I had king prawn makihani, wife had chicken tikka masala, both were extremely water, no taste to either meal, probably the poorest Indian meal I have ever experienced in over 40 years

Best Indian I've had in years and cater to the customer fantastically well. Plenty of vegan options

Last Viceroy....the nicest lamb dish I've eaten in a long time

Best place around. Amazing food and the best staff ever. Ryan and gang are fantastic

Visited The Mango lounge as it had been recommended to my by a friend and I wasn’t impressed. It was as if half of the people in there where on drugs. Openly taking them in the toilets, even a group of lads sat at a table snorting something a couple of feet away from what I assume was the owner at the bar. Speaking of the owner he seemed more interested in grabbing away to people than taking my order of drinks and when finally he got round to taking my order was quite rude. If poor service and a drug fuelled night is your sort of thing then it might be for you. As for more I won’t be in a rush to be going back!

Amazing food, great service and lovely atmosphere thank you! Excellent quality and friendly atmosphere would definitely recommend.

Great place always diner comes 🥇

Slow service.Staff concentrated on sorting out the takeaway deliveries to the obvious annoyance of diners . Food was nice. Both main dishes came in chipped serving dishes.

Great curry, good assortment of beers, was first visit made too feel welcome, guys were busy all night

Absolutely lovely food, venue and service. Thank you.

Hands down best Indian food within a million miles other places might be cheaper but I thought prices where reasonable. Staff where very welcoming and polite.. Food was delivered hot and fresh.. My new go to place don't listen to the moaners take it from me a picky eater I cleaned the plate and I normally pick bits off I don't like..

Absolutely amazing food. First time dining here tonight with my husband and was very happy. Food was hot and toast. Staff very polite and pleasant. Will be returning again. One of the best curry's we've had. Thank you :)

Love this place and don't get me wrong they only got a four star rating for service because they were very busy and we had to wait for someone to come over for a drink order but after that I can't fault the restaurant we had a great time nice food and lovely staff, really enjoyed the night 🥰

Very pleasantly surprised by this place. Gave it a go while working near by. The food was really good, service was fast and the staff were very friendly. Nice decor inside too, really nice place to enjoy a meal. We would definitely go back when next in the area! Parking just around the back is very handy too!

Went tonight for our son's birthday, such a lovely friendly restaurant, food exceptional absolutely beautiful.. nothing too much for staff very attentive. Wouldn't hesitate to return!! x highly recommend x

It took them 30 mins to bring our drinks. We had to remind them twice we hadn't had them . Other people who came in after us got their drinks and food before us. When the main course came it wasn't hot and we had to ask for cutlery. The food tasted excellent but the service wasn't good at all

Great food, will definitely go back 👍

Had a wonderful New years Eve last night in the Blue Mango...food superb , fab entertainment and staff fabulous and Ryan a Fantastic host..... Will be booking in again very soon.....

Ok not the best we’ve had but one of the poorest sadly. Expected better, had to send a meal back but they exchanged with no fuss. Also a little pricey too. Portion sizes small & tikka not on a hot plate. Just passing through Rainhill, just drive on. Maybe we’re spoiled where we live with quality eateries.

As always the food was amazing and the staff were their usual helpful and friendly selves. Will be going again and I'd definitely recommend The Nepalese off the signature dishes.
