Good thai food in an empty resturant
The Mango tree is an outlet of the London branch in the new Old Town district (under the Burj Dubai). We booked a table but there didn’t seem any reason to make the call as the restaurant was completely empty when we went there. The area itself is empty currently but I’m sure it will pick up.
There was no alcohol licence so our companion was disappointed. The staff were plentiful and very attentive (almost overbearing ) but were helpful with their suggestions on what to eat as the menu was extensive. We order the mixed appetisers and the papaya salad. The appetisers were good but the salad was too spicy. We then ordered two types of crab, green chicken curry and red duck curry. The curries were delicious and the right side of spiciness. The crab in a yellow curry sauce was delicious and the crab was meaty but that other type of crab which was dry (and supposedly a Thai speciality) was not tasty and generally a waste of money.
The meal was on the side of expensive but the food was delicious and the service was friendly. The decor is very hip which might be a problem when the pretentious crowd start going there but for now a good place for good Thai food.
