Mangrove Indian Bistro & Grill in Mansfield

We had a family celebration here for my Daughter's Birthday, excellent food and excellent service as usual. Lovely restaurant with beautiful decor. We will continue to visit this restaurant and use it's take out service as we've been visiting for years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend.

Been coming here for 6 or 7 years after snooker exhibitions in Mansfield. Absolutely great service, amazing food and lovely venue. Cannot fault the place at all. Would recommend to anyone looking for quality service and food.

My wife and I have just returned from holiday and were desperate for a decent curry, so went to The Mangrove, which to be honest is our favourite local restaurant. Hats off to Runu and team, as the restaurant has been totally transformed. New decor, lighting, flooring, tables and chairs have totally transformed this place. The only thing that couldn’t be bettered was the food, which as always was gorgeous. If you’re local to Mansfield, have a passion for curries and haven’t yet visited The Mangrove, then you’re really missing out. In the years we’ve visited this lim I reckon we’ve tried virtually everything on the menu and have never had a bad experience. Great surroundings, great staff and great food, what else could you want?

A very clean place, the food was very delicious, we ordered a variety of very tasty seasoned seafood, the service was very attentive and friendly, we will return if we pass through Mansfield again.

Delivered wrong chicken.Not chicken Tikka madras not lal kalia.My wife is sick as she found something that resembles maggots in her curry and my madras was chicken not chicken Tikka.We've been ordering from here around 15 years and after the last 0 rating inspection by a health visitor we gave them another chance.Why would they do this to us after spending around £40 per week on curry’s and loyal customers.Thank You Mangrove but never again.Yuck…

Best Indian in mansfield! The mangrove was suggested to me by a friend and now I won't go anywhere else. The curries are always really nice and the onion bhaji are amazing and come with the best sauce! The staff are always lovely and friendly whenever I go whether that's to pick up takeaway or eat in the restaurant. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Ordered a takeaway and the delivery time was acceptable with a polite driver. I ordered a few items; mixed kebab starter, lamb lal maas, tarka daal. The gravy with the lal maas was thin, a lot thinner than main courses I have had from many places over many years. It had a layer of grease/oil when plated up that was really unappealing. The lamb itself was tender though lacking in flavour however , the gravy ruined it. There could have been more flavour and although ordered medium heat it felt more on the milder side. The pickle that I ordered was spicier than the gravy in the main course. The cheese and garlic naan was luke warm and lacking in flavour, I like a lot of garlic and I suppose I could have added that to the order instructions. The tarka daal's lentils were a little too al dente for my liking and a touch too bland. Unfortunately half of the main course was wasted as was the daal.

Wonderful service and great food

Il never order from this place again! Ordered 2 currys which had no flavour or anything in at all, it was just unseasoned meat in a watery soup which had NO seasonings either and even suffering from salt and pepper withdrawals. None of these was in our food. Garam masala Cumin powder Coriander powder Turmeric Red chilli powder Salt Fresh coriander 🤢🙄 Rather have a tin of chicken soup 👌

Lovely evening out, the service was excellent and the food was amazing - we'll definitely be back! Would definitely recommend

Our favorite indian in Mansfield we eat/have takeaway from here at least once a month. They do the best pashwari naan in Mansfield. Curries are really flavoursome and jalfrazi has a good kick.

Food was great. Service too. Recommend

Really enjoyed our meal staff pleasant and friendly. Nice clean lovely atmosphere. Slight discrepancy on bill which we didn't notice which was annoying. But we would go again definitely.

First class can’t recommend this place enough will definitely be going back didn’t feel rushed great atmosphere reasonable price ( see review )

Mangrove got us a table for 4 last minute as where we had booked had double booked us. Absolutely delicious food and the service was amazing. Friendly, polite and would definitely recommend.

As an Indian, I absolutely loved the food. I was finally able to find a place in Mansfield to eat some great quality Indian food. ☺️♥️

Lovely warm welcome place good food friendly service moden an up market unlike some in town we could mention lol 😆

Food was amazing and the staff very friendly!

What a find. Didn't expect much of dining options in Mansfield, but this place was amazing. Food quality off the scale - probably the best Indian food I've ever had - and I'm an enthusiast. Not your regular curry house at all - more fine dining, Indian style. If I'd been in a big city, high-end restaurant and had this standard of food - at twice the price - id still have been happy. Truly exceptional. Nice venue & great service too. Well done guys.

Very good food and affordable prices.

This place is great, the food was absolutely amazing and the staff very pleasant. To top it off very nice and clean with nice decoration. Really enjoyed my visit and will be back again soon 😁

I will never go to another Indian restaurant in my area! We go here atleast once every couple of months and never have a bad meal. It’s beautiful inside and the staff are incredibly friendly and really attentive to anything you need. The food is beautiful and you can ask for changes here in there in your meal. The naan breads are the best thing ever! This is a must go!!

Was an impulsive decision. Was able to dine in. Tandoori chicken was delicious, will definitely recommend

Great food. Good service. Our 1st time but friends are regulars.

I would never have known about this place if it hadn't been for Mansfield council sharing it on their page. It's tucked away on a side street surrounded by derelict buildings which might be off putting to some. Once inside though the restaurant is bright and spacious with a lovely high ceiling and mezzanine floor. The staff were polite. The place was empty apart from us and one more table although it was fairly early evening on a Sunday. The place did lack atmosphere. Maybe because it was empty but there just seemed to be something missing. There was a candle on the table but they didn't light it, despite the nice decor it just felt like it needed something . An interesting selection of starters, some I had not heard of before so that was good. The paneer I had was well spiced. The mains were a little disappointing though. My husband asked for his madras hot but it was lacking in flavour. Mine was spicy but it lacked the sweetness mixed with the tang I would normally expect from that particular dish, there was no real depth of flavour. I had prawns which were quite sparse and a bit chewy. Nice place but the food didn't blow me away and more expensive than some other local Indian restaurants.

What a surprise - the best Indian food I have eaten in the UK in years. Everything in the reviews was all true. I chose the Thali option of four side dishes and what a great combination. I could not have been happier with the deliciously tasty and subtle flavours of mushroom bhaji, saag paneer and aloo gobi. I loved it all down to the last morsel. Highly recommended!!

Wow. So so good! The service and the food! Loved everything we ate!.

We get a takeaway from the Mangrove most weeks. It's far and away the best indian food in Mansfield. We've booked meals here for work nights out and for family occasions and have always had fantastic service. The waiters are always very welcoming and helpful. Even when the restaurant is busy we've never waited too long for food. Highly recommended!

I never leave reviews but felt compelled to leave one for this place! Been let down countless times by Indian restaurants due to poor quality food but I’ve got to say this is the best we have had for a very long time! Collected the food to eat at home and was well worth the drive. Inside the restaurant looked very modern and clean too so we will try and eat in at some point. Thank you very much for a lovely meal, very much enjoyed it. We will definitely be back! Lenny and Catherine.

Delicious meal, fantastic food, the labradar was absolutely stunning! Absolutely excellent service, highly recommend!

Fantastic food and service. Definitely going back again.

Great food , amazing service and child friendly too. My 3 year old loved it . The staff can’t do enough for you. We will be back soon!

Varied menu and food excellent. Staff exceedingly pleasant and helpful. Comfortable surroundings. Will certainly return.

I have been coming here for years and i have never been disappointed. The food, service and staff are excellent. There is always a good atmosphere and the restaurant is always exceptionally clean.

Thank you for a wonderful meal. I heard the staff explaining the ingredients and all the different types of dishes to customers with enthusiasm and pride. Great to see. Great service. Great menu. Great tasting food. Couldn’t fault anything highly recommended.

Nice meal bit more chicken in meal would be nice. 😔

Not been to the Mangrove for sometime but popadoms, pickles, starters, main was perfect like i remembered. Didnt get the hand wipes... doh. Check your bill to check youve had items on it... other than that, i would recommend.

Went for a birthday meal and the food was delicious! The service was second to none the staff couldn't have done enough despite being busy. Fantastic ..will definitely be back !!

Friendly pleasant restaurant. Service can be slow but there were a couple of big parties in. Food is excellent. Most enjoyable

Excellent food as always, top class service in lovely surroundings.

We Eat out often, and at several establishments, mangrove will now be an establishment of choice, food atmosphere and service were exemplary.

A quiet night (Wednesday) but our meal was very pleasant

4 of us went for a meal last night, from the moment we walked in the service was excellent and continued throughout our meal, the quality of the food was incredible, we even asked for something that wasn't on the menu and got it. We will definitely be visiting again soon. Thanks for a great evening

Top quality Indian food and really knowledgeable staff who are helpful and can guide you through the menu. The Lababdar and Hydrabadi curries are particularly good.

The staff fitted us in lat minute and are very friendly. Good selection of food and drink. Everything I tried was super tasty

Great night out the the lads... food excellent

Excellent food, friendly staff and charming atmosphere. Will definitely be going back!

Amazing food and great service and the prices are perfect and all of the food is fresh cooked best place in Mansfield for a great curry

We atyended for a special fund raising evening for our charity. So a big thank you for that first. Service was a bit slow but only 3 staff in altogether. 2 cooking 1 bar staff and there was approximstely 50 of us.

Last minute decision to go for a meal. Food & service very good 👍

Great service, super food, nice atmosphere. Can't fault it at all. My favourite Indian in the area

Very nice and friendly people.The food was on point like a decimal 😉 👌

Delicious freshly prepared food. Good portion and not over spiced. The tikka masala is well prepared. Will definitely visit again when I’m in Mansfield

Absolutely amazing- lovely, delicious food and servi e is fantastic

Just had a mixed grill balti and must say it’s the best Indian food in Mansfield. The lamb is so “melt in your mouth” and not at all tough like most of the restaurants around. Well done mangrove - you’re my firm favourite again !!!!!

Food tasteless, no meat in dish. Asked for prawn and got chopped frozen prawn pieces. Food was the worst I've experienced in Mansfield. Think I'll stick with Modu Mitu. Hygiene rating also suspect, several issues with the place and management don't seem to care about quality or hygiene. It's fair to say I won't return again.

Expensive and noisy. Food and drink over priced. Especially drinks. They wouldn't talk to a really loud drunk group next to us.

Never disappointed excellent once again

Excellent all round.Lovely atmosphere,great service and food.The place itself is very impressive.

Excellent food, excellent service. Great staff

Very nice food, authentic, good customer service but, the wait times were extremely long before the starter, main, dessert. This might have been due to several reasons: 1: Staff shortage 2: Overbooked 3: Both I would definitely recommend

Very welcoming and fabulous food!!! We shared such an interesting and friendly conversation with all the staff. Authentic, unusual and tasty curry served in a beautiful restaurant. A credit to Mansfield! Very highly recommended.

Lovely food Lovely staff highly recommend

Awesome dinning experience here, loved the spicy food had alot of fun. Service was excellent thanks to the staff.

Really yummy food and lovely service, I would recommend to anyone! The restaurant is also nice inside, we had a couple of dishes and they were all delicious.

Amazing the staff were really friendly, the service was outstanding food was devine would definitely go here again ☺️👍🏻

Mothers Day Meal. Lovely food, I had the lamb lal Kalia, the lamb melted in the mouth, good service and reasonable price. Will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed it here. Food excellent, welcoming staff very helpful and friendly, was happy to accommodate my wife’s guide dog.

Well what can I say Friday night 9 o'clock complete empty restaurant and I understand why, staff don't care didn't ask once how our meal with as ,, chutneys watered down to cold curry source bad quality mix grill probably the worsted Curry I have ever had and definitely the worsted staff. Never again 🤬🤬🤬

We ordered takeaway from here a while ago and have been meaning to come back and dine in because the food was outstanding. Today we finally returned and once again were happy with the food, the atmosphere and the service. We had the Mixed Grill Balti and the Peppered Lamb Balti and the meat in each was both delicious and tender. We've never had lamb as good as we've had it from here, though our only criticism is that there should have been more potato in the Peppered Lamb Balti (there was only one piece). The service was attentive, warm and friendly. We can't wait to return here again and bring our friends.

Taste wise the food was quite good, but the amount of meat was disappointing. In a £10 lamb dish i had 4 small pieces of lamb, seriously? Cheaters, thats all i can say. Not coming back to pay a lot and end up feeling hungry..

We got there on sat evening at 5.30pm no customers where in the place.A member of staff undertook our takeaway order for 5 people to be ready for 7PM. After a few beers in town we got back to the restaurant at 7pm.We noticed a...

I ordered a sea food biriyani and to say its sea food it was absalutely tasteless and the sea food does not taste fresh at all , really disappointed. other than that though I had a super time and customer service / hygiene was great.

Fast service, great food, lovely staff & atmosphere- couldn’t ask for any better. Will definitely be returning!

Four of us visited the Mangrove last night and once the food and service was excellent. We will be back very soon..

Feb 2022 Update star rating to my original rating following positive. comments from the managing director. Im wanting to visit here again very soon. ------------------ 3 years ago I gave this 5 stars. Now I've seen this in the local news and unfortunately people are still eating here because of good reviews. Mangrove Indian Bistro & Grill, Dame Flogan Street, Mansfield town centre The Mangrove was given a new zero-out-of-five food hygiene rating., meaning urgent improvement necessary, following assessment on November 9, the Food Standards Agency's website shows.

Lovely place, staff are so attentive and polite, the food was amazing as always.

Excellent food service and ambience Spacious and airy but cosy too - no cold minimilist IKEA nonsense. Highly recommend it.

Visited mangrove this evening, food was very nice and no complaints about that. However, I found it rude that when one of the staff come to take payment for the bill, they asked if we wanted to leave a tip on the card machine. Do...

Posted 03 Feb 2022. We have just returned home from our latest visit to The Mangrove Indian Bistro and Grill. Once again the food we consumed and the service we experienced was fantastic! Great food, fairly priced. But better still was the news we received...

Probably not only the best Asian food in Mansfield but probably one of the best restaurants in Mansfield. Restaurant lovely and food is fantastic.

Always great food and service. Can't fault it! Definitely recommend!

Peaceful atmosphere and very attentive staff. Food absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going again

What can we say other than wow! From the moment we walked through the door to the minute we left, customer service was outstanding! The food was amazing and to say there was 11 of us each meal came out hot and tasted amazing! We...

This is the best by far Indian restaurant in Mansfield. The service and food is second to none well done Rannu.

First time ever been here and thought the place was really nice. The staff were lovely they couldn't help enough, nothing was to much trouble for them. The food was delicious, it was the best balti I've ever tasted. We all had a lovely time...

As customers who have regularly attended The Mangrove over the past few years my wife and I were extremely disappointed to read the most recent hygiene ratings for this establishment. We usually eat here at least once a week and during ‘lockdown’ when the restaurant...

Just had take away which we were very disappointed with as it was delivered cold ,the response when we rang was far from satisfactory as we were told not to expect hot food when it was delivered !Really

Absolutely loved it great food and atmosphere, staff were great...

Decided to eat here based on people’s recommendations and to say the least my friends and I have found the experience very disappointing. The staff looked like they were doing a seven year stint for armed robbery without a smile in sight. Poor to no service seemed to be the norm, with most staff stood at the bar like Humpty Dumpty. I’m not sure if it’s standard practice but most people ended up visiting the bar to get additional drinks where I found it difficult to grasp their attention by signalling S.O.S from the lamp 💡 situated in the corner. Food poor with mostly akin to microwave meals found on isle 12 in Asda, mostly soup, sorry sauce with the occasional chunk of what I think was meat. Sat waiting for the bill but I expect to have my belt loosened. My advice skip this joint and move on 😀

Food arrived absolutely stone cold after waiting 2 hours for the food when it arrived was absolutely terrible stay well away

Wow! Such amazing food, service and decor. Can't recommend Mangrove enough. Thank you for such a lovely evening. Can't wait for our next visit.

Good food good service, I'd go just for the Pantara👌

Fabulous food take out or eat in beautiful restaurant homely comfortable

Delicious food, Peaceful atmosphere, lovely friendly staff, well done

Lovely and cousy place. Great first expression of indian food

Excellent food every time... you get what you pay for ..... 🙂

Meal out with friends @mangrove. Booking for 19:00. Popadoms & Pickle tray, ordered second round of drinks and food order placed 19:30. 20:45 still no food!!! 21:10 decided to leave after conversation with staff. Watched 12x take away meals go while we waited!!!! 2x gents...

Food and staff excellent as always

The tastiest meal we’ve eaten in a long time. We visited as a family group of 6 with 2 vegetarians. Everyone really enjoyed their food including the seafood sharing platter, lamb jalfrezi, paneer shashlick. Great service too. Absolutely faultless.
