Wild Mango — Restaurant in Portsmouth

Decided to order from here as was coming back from King's Theatre and thought it would make a change!

The order:

Onion bhajee- tbh was abit to crispy for my liking, but far from bad

Brinjal bhajee - fantastic, and as an aubergine lover it's staggering how many get this wrong

Red chilli bhuna (lamb) - as a bhuna fanatic it's always nice to have some variation. This was Definately hot but not at the expense of flavour. It was terrific

Manchurian (lamb) - deffo spicy but again not at the expense of flavour!!

Special rice: well cooked

Keema Naan again well cooked and not soggy!!!

All in all I was very impressed, as the food was tasty, interesting, spicy and flavoursome which is what I look for in a curry!!

20% off £25 and over was also a great bonus!!

If you want a more varied menu and aren't afraid to try new things, Definately give...

Let's begin with one thing: You need to try the Wild Mango Tropicana. It is, by a country mile, the best curry you can get in Portsmouth if you like something sweet and lacking "heat".

Okay, so you might be looking at this and going "Wait, this isn't Spice and Shakes, what's happening?" Well I have no idea if it's transferred management, rebranding, or what, but the damn good curries are still there at least. The Tropicana Chicken the missus gets continues to be to die for, the "kebabs" this place now offers (Tandoori meat in a chapati and/or naan) is fab, and the vegetable paratha is brilliant. If nothing has changed since the Spice and Shakes days (Which it doesn't seem to have, mostly), I can vouch for most things this place offers; It's the only curry place we use now, it's that good.

I just miss the milkshakes, they went oddly well...

Absolutely amazing service! The staff was incredibly friendly and warm-hearted. We asked for hot Tarka Dal, Bhindi, Palak Paneer, with rice and roti, and it was exactly what we hoped for. Even without us mentioning it, the staff knew we preferred desi-style sugar-free food, and that's precisely what we received. Every dish was exceptionally delicious, especially the Tarka Dal, which I usually judge takeaways by. Their Tarka Dal was just perfect - medium to hot, sugar-free, bursting with Indian kitchen flavors, and cooked to perfection, not too bland or grainy. Highly recommend this place and I'm definitely returning for more during my two-night stay...
