Mangrove Restaurant — Restaurant in Mansfield

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...

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...

I would recommend this place to people who want to waste their money and aren’t bothered about eating raw meat, plus 3+ hours to wait for their food to arrive cold and extra spicy that you have to drink a pint of milk every time you have a bite.

I was really disappointed with the food I ordered from this place. It took over 3 hours for my order to arrive. Every time I rang to track my order they kept giving me inaccurate time for when my food would arrive. When my food finally arrived it had to go straight into bin as nothing was cooked probably, it was all soggy and everything tasted absolutely disgusting. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I mean seriously not only I wasted £30 and starved myself for 3 hours, I ended up making myself...
