DON’T GO HERE. Went to this restaurant at 7.30 p.m on a Sunday night. Just a couple of other diners, but they left soon after our arrival. It was obvious from the start that they knew they were not going to be busy, so the quicker they could get us fed and out the better for them. It was a constant rush. Immediately we were told that they closed at 9 pm, their website says 10 pm, which annoyed us, even before we had eaten we were told this. Then it was all systems go. We ordered a bottle of wine with our meal only to be told half way through it that we could take the rest of the bottle home if we wished. In other words, hurry up and drink it or take it with you. They were even rushing us through that. Waiters were constantly coming over to ask us to choose next course. Food was very bland and unappetising, Balti was a disaster on a plate. By 8.30 pm two of the waiters already had their coats on ready to go. No hot towels were given, after all, that would have added 2 more minutes to our stay and that wouldn’t do would it? Bill was presented before we had even asked for it. I have never, ever, been an Indian restaurant where you were simply not wanted or welcome. In my experience and I have been in many, many Indian restaurants, staff are welcoming and are very pleased you have chosen to dine there. Maybe they wanted to get home and watch Big Brother or something, who knows. We were calling an Uber for trip back, but felt so unwelcome and uncomfortable that we waited 15 minutes outside, in the cold, for it to arrive. They were even hoovering as we exited. So, save yourself money and indigestion and PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU ARE APPRECIATED.

Lovely, tidy, welcoming restaurant with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Ordered from their Thursday set menu and left satisfyingly full. Every dish was tasty and full of flavor! Will visit again to try out some more of the menu

When we decided to visit we didn’t realise it was banquet night. For £16.95 you pick a starter, main, side and rice/naan. We felt this was amazing value for money and we thoroughly enjoyed every course. The staff are so friendly and hospitable; even offering a complimentary drink at the end of our meal. I believe banquet nights are on a Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. We didn’t book a table but there was only a few left so might be best to book. We will definitely visit again.

Unbelievable treatment from the staff and management; visited this place on a Sunday afternoon with friends to unwind but unfortunately our time was ruined by the management behavior and attitude..they forced us to order mains even though we wanted few drinks and snacks! Please be mindful, as they just want to put their hands on your wallet but not interested in providing hospitality..shame on them!

I have never had a more infuriating experience in a restaurant than the one I had at this restaurant today. Staff lack basic manners. 6 of us went in for a few drinks / nibbles and half way through our drinks, we were admonished by one of the staff who very rudely said that we had to order some mains from the menu and that we couldn't just be sitting there ordering more drinks / nibbles. Restaurant staff directing and mandating customers to order food from the menu is a first for me. Disgusting and insulting behaviour towards customers by staff.

We tried this place for the first time, as we needed somewhere close to the Stables Theatre. We discovered that it was banquet night, and it was very popular, so we were pleased we had booked. The prawn puri starter was excellent, the chicken dhansak was lovely, and the jalfresi was good and spicy. There was plenty of food, and we will be back.

I have been going to this place for 16 years plus on and off. Never left a review for here but should every time I go. Amazing tasty food every-time and compliments to the chef. Best Indian in MK and consistent. Not sure on the bad reviews on here as the guys that work there could not do enough for you, all you have to do is ask and they will fulfil your request. Top marks to all at Purple Mango keep up the good work 👍🏼

Fairly standard restaurant of this type, with the usual dishes on an over-long menu. Decent vegetable samosas to start. Lamb passanda main course consisted of indifferent quality lamb smothered in an unexciting sauce. Quite the least well-made naan I have ever eaten. On a Bank Holiday Saturday the restaurant was fairly busy but by no means full. Service was extremely slow; it was difficult to persuade waiters to take our order at all. We waited over an hour for any food.

This is the best food in Milton Keynes, and I would struggle to find better anywhere. Incredible food. On menu or off menu, the food is hot, flavoursome, well portioned, and we were pleasantly surprised with the price. Another masterpiece from our wonderful friends at the Purple Mango.

Whilst visiting somewhere locally, we googled somewhere to go for a curry and this place came up. The staff were fantastic. They were so kind and nothing was too much trouble.

We are long term customers of the Purple Mango having sampled several other Indian food takeaways in MK. This is our favourite because the service is very friendly and your order is ready to collect on arrival. As important is that each family member has a favourite Mango dish and the dishes are delicious every time. The traditional favourites are sure bets for selection, there’s a wide range of starters and side dishes and the specials are always lovely. The meat is tender and has great flavour, whether you prefer lamb or chicken, and the prawn or fish options are also very tasty. Wish we could find a Chinese takeaway as good and reliable as this is for Indian food.

If there ever was a place where there was more "show over substance" then this is the place. The warm inviting ambience of the place draws you in with the modern decor and the fancy water wall. You would imagine great tasting Indian food, with spice and flavours of India... Sadly this wasn't the case. If the decor had to match the food, then it should have been PLAIN WHITE WALLS. The food was TASTELESS, lacked and spice or seasoning. We ordered the Passanda which was simply Cream with Red Wine added at the end which just gave the dish a winey acrid taste. All the other meat based dishes some of which are the most basic classic indian dishes simply tasted of unseasoned dry meat in the same tasteless sauce - AWFUL. The chickpea and spinach dish had not a single leaf of spinach, no spice or flavour (but thats to be expected) A tin of chickpeas and a shop bought curry sauce tipped over it would make it award winning compared to the abomination I was served. All in all no flavour, no spice, no seasoning. The only thing I enjoyed were the poppadums and if I could eat the decor I would as it would have been tastier...

Worst Indian meal ever! Started off well poppadoms lovely, onions Bhakti wonderful. That’s as far as it went mains totally tasteless (chicken passanda) they must have missed out any spices had to eat it along with onion chutney to gain any favour. Hubby had a very tasteless side dish with chickpeas. My only explanation was that the chef was off duty that evening, as this place was highly recommended to me!

I can’t comment on the food but I can confirm that the customer service is really excellent at this restaurant. Unfortunately I made the stupid mistake of ordering a large takeaway from this restaurant before realizing much too late it was the wrong restaurant some 30 miles away! I called the restaurant and despite the enormous inconvenience they were so understanding and said that these things happen. If I ever am in the area I will order!

This unassuming modest restaurant on the local centre of Walnut Tree has a lovely atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The staff very friendly and attentive. Awesome tasty food left no room for dessert. But dessert wasn’t the reason we were there! Very generous filling delicious portions. The staff chatty and do not hurry you. After asking for Bill was even offered a brandy/whisky on the house. Was very pleasantly surprised by the bill which for 2 of us including a few drinks was £43 not bad for a Sat eve. Strongly recommended

We came here for Christmas Day 2019 as we fancied doing something totally different. From start to finish, we couldn't fault anything. The service was fantastic, very attentive waiters. The food as usual was delicious. It was fantastic value for money especially given the day that it was. We didn't feel rushed. If they are to open again on Christmas Day, then I would highly recommend it. We'd definitely come here again for Christmas Day lunch if they did open.

A group of 4 of us visited between Xmas and new year (1 local, 3 of us driving from Sussex!). The restaurant was clean and pleasant, well lit and very smart in appearance. We placed our orders, which took a fair amount of time to arrive, only for one of the dishes to be incorrect (possibly mis-heard as it was quite loud in there). When the dish did arrive it was of a decent quality and my friends also considered their food to be of a similar standard. We were offered an extra naan for the mistake, which we refused as we already had a naan bread each. Despite saying that we didn't wish to receive this (knowing that it would not be eaten and therefore would be wasted) we were still given it!?!? Suffice to say it went untouched. We were asked if we wished to look at the desert menu but were given maybe a minute at most to make a decision as to whether we wished to have a desert, and felt extremely pressured. Having decided that actually we would rather have coffee we were informed that there was none (with the possible exception of instant given that a friend remarked that as he couldn't have an espresso was it Nescafe, and the waiter looked rather sheepish). When we paid the bill the change was not returned to us in order for us to decide whether or not we wished to leave a tip, it was just assumed that we had overpaid by just short of £10 as a tip! Assumption should not be made!Summing up, the food was of a good standard (but not outstanding) but the service left a lot to be desired and the chances of us returning are not high.

Can’t really understand the good reviews here. Just very poor service, there were plenty of waiters but they just seemed to be walking around and not doing much. Long wait to take drinks orders, food wait was well over an hour, and little things like not checking if we wanted more drinks when they delivered food or even just looking over to check. I had to physically get up and go and ask for a drinks menu. People on table next to us actually walked off and left as they were waiting so long. The restaurant was not full. The food was distinctly average. Disappointed given the reviews here,

I was quite disappointed with our meal here last Saturday evening. We’d driven over from Dunstable to meet friends, as we’d heard good reviews about it. They’d clearly squashed the tables together to fit in extra diners tonight, as we felt like sardines; it was almost impossible to squeeze out to visit the loo! We were also sat underneath an air con unit blowing hot air onto our heads. Had to ask twice for the poppadums. My dish, their new speciality, was the Purple Mango Nawaz with king prawns, which came with both rice and naan, but at £16.95 I expected it to be so much better. I opted for the version without chillies, but it was soggy and bland, totally without the exciting, mouth watering flavours promised in the description. The other mains were apparently good, I wish I’d opted for a simple Biryani or similar. Finally, what on Earth was that music they were playing through the very loudspeakers? Like nothing I’ve ever heard in an Indian restaurant before. Wailing and tuneless. So, poor from my viewpoint, but ok from our friends, other than the long initial wait, the lack of room, and the dreadful music. When we have the Vantage five minutes walk from our door in Dunstable, I certainly won’t be driving back here in a hurry.

It's a firm favourite with all the family and many of our friends too. The service is great, the food delicious and at a good price. They also do a great value for money buffet menu on on Sunday, Wednesday & Thursday, which I can also highly recommend.

Excellent banquet menu. Lots of choice and good freshly prepared food without any greasiness that you get in many Indian restaurants. Great ambience and service. This is our nearest restaurant within walking distance of our home and we have only visited a few times but every time we agree we should visit more often as we always enjoy our meal.

Absolutely love this place! Sometimes they are busy, which is great to see, but they always make time for their customers.

Small restaurant with pleasant attentive service. We were 30 people but restaurant coped well, no silly "choose your items beforehand" nonsense. Had the massala fish for starters, really lovely. Main course was "Purple Mango Special" which is a dish I've never found anywhere else :)...

I go to Purple Mango quite often and always have a nice time. I've tried many different dishes and liked all of them, I especially love some of the sauces that come with the popadoms. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant and the staff are always super nice. The portions are big and value for money great. Everything is clean, well decorated and it's just a very pleasant place! Honestly nothing negative to say.

This curry house has an unusual internal decor, a bit odd for the solo diner- the menu was extensive (and unusually clean!). The popadom chutneys were above average, great lime pickle not overloaded with lime chunks. I chose the green masala chicken - it said spicy, and it made me sweat! Very tasty and impressively large in serving size. The garlic Nan was well cooked and not soaked in ghee. I left very happy, with no next-day consequences to report.

We went to this restaurant for the first time on my birthday hoping to have a nice meal and good time. The food was worse than disgusting and the service was appalling. My advice is stay away and spend your money elsewhere because neither did we have a decent meal nor did we have a good time as the manager at the restaurant was acting like MR KNOW IT ALL.

Surprised to find the restaurant just about full at 1830 but it was a 'banquet' evening. The atmosphere was busy and rather noisy as there are no windows in the restaurant and the ceiling is low.

Visited early on a quiet evening. Its a nice restaurant, spacious clean and with impressive decor and you wouldn’t think you were in the middle of a Milton Keynes housing estate. Unfortunately the waiting staff didn’t seem to be too keen to see us , and throughout the meal we were treated curtly, food was delivered and put down on the table without any words.

Booked a table for four here a few weeks ago and when we turned up we were told that we would have to wait for our table because we had arrived late. All of which would have been perfectly reasonable but for the fact that we had actually booked for 7.45 and arrived at 7.30. the waiter was very argumentative and unhelpful and of course it set the tone for a not particularly enjoyable meal.Having said that the food was OK and the bill wasn't too expensive. We could have done without the waiter from hell though.

The service is speedily efficient if a little too fast and furious if you know what I mean. The food is good. Unusual decor which is interesting. Comfortable seating. If you have a noisy family or friends group you will be comfortable here. If you want quiet, privacy and calm you may get that on a quiet night. We go about once a year and it's always been heavingly busy so they must be doing something right. Plenty of parking. Easy access off V11 Tongwell Street via A5 Caldecotte or M1 j 13/A421/V11 southbound.

I went here with a few work friends for an evening meal. The group opted for the 10.95 meal deal. This was probably the mistake. The quality of the food was very poor, and lacked substance. By this I mean that the dishes lacked the main ingredients. The meat was lacking from the curry, there was only one piece of paneer in the mutter panner. The keema nan had very little meat in it. On top of this the beer was expensive. Wont be going again.

Alright, let’s talk about Wagamama in the Midsummer shopping mall, Milton Keynes. Now, normally when you think of a restaurant in a shopping mall, you brace yourself for screaming kids and the aroma of pretzels mixing with cheap cologne from a nearby department store. But Wagamama? Stunning. It’s like stepping into an entirely different world where all the chaos outside fades, and you’re left with a bowl of food so good it makes you forget you’re sat next to a Boots. First off, the food. It’s tasty. Properly tasty. Whether you’re going for the classic ramen, the katsu curry, or something adventurous like the firecracker chicken (which is exactly as hot as it sounds, by the way), it’s all cooked to perfection. Fresh, flavorful, and it comes out fast. It's the kind of place where you don't have to wait around, wondering if they’ve forgotten about you. Now, the service. Brilliant. The staff are friendly, helpful, and they actually seem like they enjoy being there. None of that robotic, “Here’s your food, now leave me alone” attitude. They check on you just the right amount, and they’re more than happy to explain the menu if you’re staring blankly at it like you don’t know the difference between udon and soba. And here’s something I never thought I’d say—paying is fun. Yes, you can pay with a QR code. Scan it, pay on your phone, and you’re done. No waiting for the bill, no awkward waving at staff while they’re busy. It’s genius. The toilets? Clean. Yep, not much more to say—clean, modern, no complaints. So, Wagamama in Milton Keynes, despite being in a shopping mall, is top-notch. Great food, great service, and I’ll be their client for a long time. Just try the ramen, and you’ll see why.

Had the Lion Banquet for 3 with extra dish of salt and chilli squid. All dishes had generous portions, service was swift but not overly so. Will give back.
