Mango Thai Tapas - Portswood - (Near , london)

Purds sss This restaurant is lovely! I took my children here to break my fast this week (wednesday) and had the best time. Such a relaxed atmosphere and so child friendly. They have space to pray and the athan played which was so nice especially for a revert family like us. The food was delicious and the waitress was amazing! I didn’t get her name but her customer service is the best and was so considerate of my children. Definitely recommend and will return! JazakAllah khair.

Andrew Downing The developing (as of end 2025) Caravan Tech outreach program? Seriously, not only did Caravan Tech fit me in for pressing work on my motorhome, at very short notice, Ian bussed me the short journey to the Merriments Café. Where we got a very dog-friendly welcome and settled into a log-burner heated snug with leather sofas and chairs. The rising price of coffees is not confined to this place, however. A popular venue which comprises tiled floors, country pine tables and some imaginative use of umbrellas hung from the conservatory-styled roof, to combat heat gain. Decent Wi-Fi helps, too. At the time of writing the early stages of the project plan to move the CT side of the business to this site is evident. My experience of both the café, the sale of equipment and spares and the workshop have been exemplary. Kudos. There is a baked goods display and a kitchen turning out food which seemed to go down just fine. I will happily return

Ashleigh This place was absolutely lovely. We were visiting family and this place was close enough to visit as I wanted some authentic food from a tagine. It was about two minute walk from the bus station. Upon arrival we noticed how bright and lively the decor was. We walked in and had the option to sit where we wanted, so we took a seat in the back to avoid feeling any cold air from outside as customers left. We ended up sitting next to the restrooms, luckily they were fairly clean although there was no napkins in the women’s room. The waiter gave us time and asked us what we’d like to drink, we decided on tea, I asked for unsweetened and regretted it, but it was still nice, we added sugar and fixed it right up. After a while he came back and asked what we would like to order. We started with an appetizer, the Marrakech traditional mezzo. It was beautiful! Olives, hummus, yogurt mint dip, a fajita tasting veggie dip, another one I don’t remember but it was fantastic, sausages(veggie, and a lamb), falafel, and loads of warm pita. We dug in and probably could have had that for a meal alone. But we decided to pig out and enjoyed ourselves. After a while the waiter came back and asked what we wanted to order. I ordered the chicken and olive tagine with bread and my other half ordered a fish tagine with couscous. They arrive quickly and pipping hot! It was beautiful, I’d never had a tagine before and the presentation was cool. He only lifted the lids for us but it was fun! I don’t know what sauce was on that chicken but it was fantastic! I could eat a bowl of the sauce and olives with the bread anytime. The chicken was great also, very tender, fell right off the bone! The fish fish was very pretty but it wasn’t as good as the chicken, well to me at least. Needless to say I finished it with a smile. We were probably at the restaurant for a hour and a half. They stayed busy but not overly busy, some people ordered take away. They offered dessert too but we were stuffed so we got the check and went onto our next adventure. The price was fair also. Pretty much what we’d pay at home for a meal like that. We’ll be back on our next trip to the UK. It’s locked into my google maps!

Marco Mottola We had a fantastic lunch at Bella Cosa in Canary Wharf. The food was genuinely delicious, with bold flavours and high-quality, authentic ingredients. At times, if we closed our eyes, we could have sworn we were in Italy. We ordered the aubergine parmigiana and Italian focaccia as starters, followed with a carbonara and creamy truffle cacio e pepe, and then as mains got ribeye steak with asparagus and salmon, and we wrapped it up with a tiramisu and a cheesecake. Every single dish was excellent!! Portions are generous (proper Italian size, not typical London portions!), and everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The restaurant itself is warm, welcoming, and beautifully done, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a proper meal. Service was also outstanding, Helena took wonderful care of us, gave great recommendations, and made us feel truly welcome throughout. We couldn’t recommend Bella Cosa more.

R Hassan Great family run business, competitively priced. Service is always friendly and food packs spice and flavour. Perfect for those who love chilies!

Bettina Jones We enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea. A delightful selection of sandwiches and cakes. Very generous helping of cream and strawberry jam accompanied warm scones both fruit and plain. We also enjoyed a delicious individual mini mousse made with chocolate and Baileys. An excellent large pot of tea, and we were offered more tea/ coffee if we wanted. We also enjoyed a very good glass of champagne which was an optional extra. Our waiter was friendly and welcoming, all served in a lovely setting.
