Mango Thai Tapas Bar & Restaurant in Southampton

Great atmosphere. Amazing food and the staff were very attentive. Always love thw food here, its hot and full of flavour. All the lads from work loved the food and they were impressed.

WE HAD A BRILLIANT TIME! We held our work Christmas do at Mango and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were so attentive and accommodating the entire time. Food was gorgeous and the cocktails were the best I've had in Southampton!! PLEASE order the Spicy Rose Margherita - she is one fun beverage! Anna, Brooke and Tam were just amazing and really joined in with our fun! They made an exception for a very excitable colleague bringing his guitar and spreading the Christmas joy with a spot of karaoke but they really got into the spirit with us. Absolutely loved hanging out with them!! Not my first time at mango and definitely not my last! Absolutely love it here. Ps... Get yourself booked in for bottomless brunch, the best in Southampton and very generous with amount of food and cocktails!

We had our works Christmas party here and cannot rate it higher. There was 50 of us in attendance and the food was cooked to a high standard, served hot with lots of choice. The staff on the evening were amazing. Can't wait to return!

The best cocktails in Southampton! Their menu is hosted throughout the year and they make their own infused drinks and syrups! The food is really great too, it is one of my favourite restaurants in town.

Food is exceptionally well presented and taste amazing. They offer a wide variety of dishes suitable for varying diets. They cater well with people with food intolerances. We are a family where our food intolerances varying from gluten, dairy, eggs and grains, plus I’m a pescatarian. We usually eat here before going to the theatre.

Such a delicious meal! We visited off a recommendation from a friend, and it surpassed our expectations! Would highly recommend the golden curry, coconut chicken, and crispy beef. We also took advantage of the 2 for 1 cocktails - their take on an espresso martini was excellent. We also loved our servers, Gus and Michael. Can’t wait to come back!

absolutely amazing....best service and food I have seen in a long time

Fantastic food and a really lovely atmosphere inside!

Food and cocktails are incredible, Zoe & Anna were so lovely - will definitely be coming again! 😊

amazing gluten free stuff, fast service

Fab experience, excellent service, friendly staff, food was super tasty and the cocktails a revelation (never had jalapeno in a cocktail!).

We are a family with varying food tolerances, gluten, dairy, eggs and grains, plus I’m a pescatarian so eating out is very difficult. We find independent restaurants/bars are better than the chains. We spent time discussing our options with the restaurant manager who was incredibly helpful. Service and food was amazing. I haven’t had Sea bass and steamed vegetables that tasty in a very long time. Portion size was good. The others had Chicken Pad Thai which was far better than the other chains we have eaten at. A great selection of drinks, the mock tails we had were very unique. We were so impressed that we plan to book her every time we come to the theatre. You won’t be disappointed.

Jack was an amazing host, was super patient as we were having a catch up and took ages to order. Was really attentive with one of my friends’ peanut allergies and we had an excellent night

Jack was the best, better than the rest

Lovely evening spent here with friends. Food was delicious and Jack our server was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere really relaxed and we weren't rushed at all to finish and leave.

Wow. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with cocktails made perfect, Thai tapas and a great atmosphere would highly recommend anyone in Southampton to visit here at least once

Another wonderful evening in Mango! Brilliant food and service from the amazing Christ and Jack. Thank you!

Came in for lunch with some of my colleagues, didn’t book and Jack happily seated and served us! Incredible service, and just as incredible food! Was my first visit to both Mango and Southampton and would highly recommend!

Visited Mango Thai yesterday for a post matinee dinner. Made an online booking for 5pm requesting a quiet table, the restaurant was empty downstairs but the server put us next to the only table that was occupied. Four ladies having a very nice time, unfortunately getting louder and louder. Food was lovely as usual but cocktails weren't great.

My first time at mango above bar and i was very highly satisfied with the drinks but mostly the staff too, massive shoutout to Anna, jack & Christ… very welcoming. I will certainly be returning.

The food and service was amazing, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our only issue was that one of the tables was extremely loud but that can't be helped by the staff. But we will be back for the food and staff.

During our visit the restaurant was busy but not full (75%) despite at least 5 staff on the floor we had to ask a passing server for everything. Menus, drinks, to order etc etc. We did not have a drinks order taken until 20 minutes in and no food order taken after 45 minutes. Everytime we asked for something we almost seemed like an inconvenience to the servers. One staff member in particular was incredibly disrespectful and effectively dropped anything he brought to the table. Many tables in the restaurant had the same complaints.

Love this place. Great food, especially the tapas and great cocktails. Always a buzzing atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff.

A very busy Saturday evening, however service was top notch as always. A little loud, but not the restaurants fault (which is why still gave 5 stars) Food is exceptional, flavour and vibrancy. Drinks ££££ but same I guess as most places (£4 for a pint of coke 🤮) Service as mentioned brilliant, attentive and even though busy always had time for everybody. £98 total including service charge which was automatically added

Had a prawn pad thai dish on friday night and developed stomach cramps within an hour of eating. Ive been in bed all weekend with food poisoning. Sunday night and still very ill. Will never eat there again. Service was great. Food terrible. Would not recommend.

Great lunch deal £15 for curry, rice and a drink. Speedy service and tasty food. Will be back!

We held a 21st birthday party at Mango Thai Tapas in Southampton and had the best evening. We were a large group of 22 and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We were able to decorate our area and the tables without any problems despite having many large balloons and table confetti. Greeted at the door by Beth who was so cheerful and helpful. We had a fabulous meal served with unfailing patience by Jack and Christ who took drinks orders and delivered our food with a smile on their faces…… they couldn’t do enough for us. Absolutely fabulous night. That you Mango Thai Tapas!

Jack and Chris were amazing servers and so much fun

My mum and I had a lovely meal and drinks here before seeing a show at MAST Mayflower. We would highly recommend this place. Jack was brilliant and looked after us. He was attentive and funny, even though he was working by himself! The food was gorgeous, but the (alcoholic) cocktails were even better. Thank you Jack and Mango for a lovely evening.

We arrived for a pre-theatre meal, not having visited for a while. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was ok, although a bit noisy. The menu was a bit of a shock, everything seemed very expensive (compared to what it used to be) and a lot of favourite tapas were no longer on the menu. We ordered 2 tapas, two mains and a bottle of wine (£35). The wine was a lovely Picpoul de Pinet, at an ok price for a restaurant and chilled beautifully. The food arrived and we were disappointed. The tapas were half the size they used to be and nearly twice the price at £9.50 each. The stir fried chicken in the main was so overcooked it was dry and when the bill arrived at over £100, we vowed to never return. It’s just not worth that much money. If the tapas portion sizes hadn’t been reduced so much and the food had been excellent then it would have been ok. Unfortunately we were let down by the food. I did mention this to the server who said he’d let the kitchen know, but that was it. Would I recommend this place in its current state, no. Please, sort out the menu, portions and food quality and we might come back but at this rate you will lose a lot of customers.

The food was perfect, fantastic service and a good vibe in the restaurant.

Great food, great atmosphere and excellent service! Christ and Cyril really accommodated our group and we're very kind and helpful

Have been a Mango fan for years, but was dissapointed with this visit as the menu has significantly reduced, especially the vegan options. It was a shame to see the tapas selection take a hit, as that's normally the big attraction for Mango. The service wasn't great either, no fault of the staff, they were lovely, there just wasn't enough of them on shift which meant we ended up waiting half an hour just to get served a drink.

Delicious food, big portions, lovely service

The food was over cooked and not great. This is a real shame because Mango has always been one of my favourites in Southampton. They did take off some money for us when we sent some food back but did not give us another plate.

Myself and 7 friends went fir a Brunch at Mangos on Saturday August 17th. We are brunch enthusiasts and I'm serious when I say this is the best one we've ever had! It was 2 hours long for a start when most places have cut the time to 1.5 hours. The drinks choice was brilliant, prosecco free flowing and a choice of cocktails and we never had to chase for any! Prosecco also by the bottle not glass. Food was fabulous with bottemless thai crackers, either 2 tapas dishes each or 1 tapas 1 curry for a 3.00 upgrade. A special mention goes out to Beth who looked after us so well again the best waitress on a brunch we've had EVER! Thank you Mango we will definately return and I'm sure you will see a few people I've recomended you to also.

3rd visit here, has it changed hands? Thai fishcakes were very small and oily. Red Thai curry was very bland. I mentioned this and they gave me some dried chili flakes to add to it, which did little. At other places if I wanted more spice, they have given me fresh chili in fish sauce/lime. Seems to me they have cut down on ingredients to keep the price down, which isnt good if you want to have a flavoursome Thai meal......2nd visit here. Veg tempura and dipping sauce, then penang curry & rice. Faultless this time. 1st visit. I had tapas dishes as I like a variety. I ordered crispy squid (but was given beef by mistake, but it was good), veg dumplings (v good), spare ribs and roti & satay sauce dip. The roti was a bit greasy and could have done with more sauce dip. 2 ciders pushed the bill to £42, inc 12% service charge.

Delicious food and everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome and relaxed. The music was a little loud though!

Post graduation ceremony meal with family. Excellent cocktails on 2 for 1 offer. We have a mix of tapas and main courses. Super quick, friendly service and delicious food. We had just been on holiday to Thailand and food was definitely authentic! Would definitely return if we were in the city again.

The staff was so friendly, the atmosphere was wonderful for dates. I went with my partner and we enjoyed every moment it's not to pricey either and the food was delicious. I recommend with the highest praise. Well done guys keep doing what your doing. Thumbs up from me

My friend and I went for bottomless brunch on Saturday, and it was amazing! Lovely atmosphere, super tasty food, great prosecco and cocktails, and above all, really efficient, quick and friendly service. If I lived in Southampton, I would be tempted to go every month! Our lovely waiters were Beth and and I think Christ, but I'm not quite sure about his name, unfortunately. Both were amazing, and I couldn't recommend this place more!

Amazing service, food & drinks 🥰

Amazing food as always, never had a bad experience here. Food fresh and tasty, service excellent, Beth the waitress always happy, smiling and welcoming, would recommens to anyone.

Good food and great service to boot. Looking forward to the next visit. Thanks to Christ, Beth, Louisa and Laura for looking after us!

Food has great taste but very expensive, will probably visit again at some point. We had only total of 8 starters that was in their offer of 4 for 3. No alcoholic drinks only water. Or bill end up being 100£ for two people. In my opinion way too much for lunch.

Lovely meal here before seeing a show at the mayflower. The atmosphere was nice and the servers were all really friendly. Will definitely return

Love this place,great food, lovely cocktails, especially in hapoybhour and very pleasant friendly staff. Highly recommend,be sure you book, it gets busy.

Delicious food & friendly service. We will be back.

5* all round! Lively atmosphere, great service and amazing food!

Cyril looked after us ,first time there he recommended the cocktails which were delicious. Thznk upu cyril

Pre-theatre dinner in a fabulous restaurant. Really great interior and quirky table shapes while the food was superb and the service was excellent. We will be back!

We visited for a dinner and a catch-up. Hoping that the food would be as close to Thai food as possible two of our party have been to Thailand. I was sadly disappointed. Firstly the food is definitely not authentically Thai, and secondly the price is way too high for the quality of food on offer. On the other hand the staff where very curious and eager to help.

Perfect service, food is so delicious like in Thailand. Every one is very friendly, clean. Thanks chef. Recommended 👍

Really cool venue with some great food. It was very busy, and we were seated just after a large group which meant service was a little on the slow side. I'm not marking them down for this tho as the staff did apologise and our server Beth was a complete star. Definitely recommended.

Had a fantastic meal here. The food was amazing, the staff were so helpful and the premises were clean and well presented.

We had the best time - great selection of yummy food, amazing service by Rob and his colleague. Great music and wide selection of cocktails and the Prosecco was free flowing!

We had delicious tapas with great service.

What a great brunch experience!! The staff were great - fun and attentive. The bottomless drinks were flowing, cocktails and prosecco! The food was lovely and plenty of it (we upgraded to a main meal for £3, well worth it!) The atmosphere was great but rather loud as it was full of people having fun! Looking forward to coming back; once we have recovered!

The food was amazing. Just a shame that so many rude staff work in here. Service was appalling, staff were so rude. There was a big table of us celebrating our friends birthday and every time you wanted to order a drink it seemed like the waiter was just moaning, as we were going outside for vape/cigarette breaks you could hear them speaking about us when we walked out! we also paid a £10 deposit each and I’m absolutely certain they didn’t take this off as there also wasn’t a break down on our bill. Don’t work in a restaurant/ bar if you’re rude and miserable, it ruins it for others!

The service was excellent , the staff couldn't have been anymore helpful, the food was superb and plenty of it, and great value.

Beth was so lovely Helping us in any way she Could Such a lovely atmosphere And service Will definitely be coming back

Had a great time here to celebrate my sisters return from uni! I’d never been here before so didn’t know what to expect but the food was amazing and came out really quickly. Ali and Anna were really friendly! Thank you !!

Very nice admonphere, prety good food. Came as a family and had a good time. Tapas are a pretty way to go. Great service from Ali and Anna.

It wasn't exactly Thai, but I guess that's it for Southampton. The atmosphere and service were good.

Always 5*. Thanks Maddie & Christ for their effort in looking after us tonight!

The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, perfect for intimate dinners or lively gatherings with friends. And the attentive staff provides impeccable service, adding to the overall charm of the place.

AMAZING FOOD! Great atmosphere. Both Cyril and Chris were so help. We were really looked after. I have been to Mango before and can't wait to go again!

I have order Pad Thai Noodles and the chicken wasn't fresh 😕

Maddie and Christ were fab servers!!

This place had such a calming atmosphere due to the decor and plants. The tapas was great, me and my friend shared 4 plates and this was more than plenty for the both of us. The cocktails were really nice too! Gus (our waiter) and Cyril (our waitress) were very friendly also. Very quick service.

Booked the private dining area of Mango Above Bar for a team event and we were not disappointed. The food was exceptional, the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. We've been lucky enough to go on many team events over the years and this venue was one of the best for food!

I booked a table for four with a friend and our 2 teenagers. We don’t see each other very often so we’re all looking forward to it. We sat upstairs and it was full. The music was very loud and there was also a group of about 10 women in the corner at the other end of the room. We heard everything they said but sadly couldn’t hear ourselves speak to each other. It was just pointless being there. The staff were very apologetic and I have no complaints about them at all and half way through our meal they found us a table downstairs. The room upstairs needs some sort of sound absorption. I will not go there again unless I know I can get a table downstairs. As always the food was lovely. The staff were lovely. The cherry mojito didn’t taste like cherry. Not worth the £30 or whatever it was…😂

Great customer service from Christ tab and the food tasted great shoutout to the cooks but the quantity of the food need to be increased

Excellent customer service from Christ Yab. The food was tasty and flavorful but the quantity of the food needs to be increased

Christ Yab offered a great service and his recommendations were excellent. The food was great and W chiefs. The food quantity needs to increase and and the prices needs to decrease

Love this Thai restaurant. Recommend the Green Thai Curry and also the Pad Thai. The waitresses are fun and efficient - a special mention for Beth.

Beautiful place and amazing and really tasty food! Great presentation too

Great experience, lovely food and service! Ali was amazing! Can’t wait to come back

I used to go to the Mango restaurant in Portswood all the time when I was a student in Southampton and it was my all time favourite restaurant! I came back to visit for the weekend and Mango was high on my list of must-visit. The food was sensational as always. We shared lots of tapas dishes, in particular the crispy squid was to die for (amazing sauce!). The ambience was great, with really good music playing. We had such a good night and our waiter was so lovely too - I think his name was Chris, so thank you!!

Great food ( as usual) and plenty of it , friendly staff nice beer A++

food was not too great for the price it came for, also small selection at certain times. quite disappointed

Probably one of the most bland Thai food I've ever eaten. The portions were small and the taste was anything but great. While the ambience downstairs seemed nice, the music was too loud upstairs and did not match the Thai ambience at all. The staff were nice but that did not make up for the food and price of the food. Definitely would not recommend.

The food was absolutely delicious, the tapas nenu has a great choice. Our host was very friendly. Have been before, would recommend and go again!

Amazing food and cocktails! Brooke and Ali were great especially considering how busy it was. Thank you so much! 😊😊☺️☺️

This has become my favorite restaurant in Southampton. So many gluten free options and everything is completely delicious. Cocktails were fire, service spot on. Highly recommended.

The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were so lovely and friendly! Lamb massaman is a must eat and the cocktails are incredible!

When we arrived - our (pre booked) table had been given away. Ordered fine - then the ‘kitchen had lost our order’ so sat for 45 mins before starters arrived. Had to wolf down mains as parking ran out. Husband found a very sharp bone in his chicken which he chocked on. Won’t be returning. Shame as Portswood one is always fab.

Beautiful place and amazing food! Staff were all lovely and polite (Christ, Ali & Brooke). Great atmosphere and great service, will definitely return

Our waitress Ali was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and was a brilliant host. The food was stunning as well. Will be back very soon!

Service was a little slow, especially at the end when we trying to pay and leave. Our reserved table was taken when we arrived, and we had to wait to be seated. The food was quite expensive especially for the portion size.

Love this restaurant, great atmosphere and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable with regard to the menu. My favourite is their green Thai curry or the lamb massaman. Cocktails good too.

Called and asked “do you have a table of 4 tonight” and they asked “is it an enquiry or a new table” and I said “new table” (obviously considering my question) and they were very very smug in telling me they were full tonight: I can’t stand servers who have no interest in trying to help you. “Book a table” showed they had tables at 8:45 but that wasn’t offered to us, so we’ll go elsewhere

We went out for my mums 50th birthday, there was only 3 of us. Our table was ready and we got shown where to sit and the place does look lovely on the inside and the out. It took a while for a waiter to...

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Came here with friends from work. Our waitress Abi was superb. Will definitely book again.

We adore this restaurant. Attentive and approachable staff. Exceptional Food and sublime Cocktail. We have never been disappointed.

Staff very friendly . Food amazing ,loads of gluten free options. Highly recommend

Was a lovely setting and our host Cyril/jack was really attentive, funny and gave excellent service. The food was good and the cocktails were lovely. The only negative were the toilets, there was no hand wash at any point through the evening, and wet toilet paper all across the floor on the entrance to the ladies and all around the sink area. The actual toilets etc were clean.Was a very busy night so likely just overlooked and the only reason for 4 not 5 stars. Other than that would highly recommend.

Great restaurant. We did the curry and a drink for £15 lunchtime offer. Was a great deal and tasted lovely! Service was good too. Will definitely be back again soon.
