Mango Lounge

First time in Windsor and I asked for recommendations for an Indian joint. Was told all the good ones were in Cookham. Decided to Unilocal Mango Lounge and it did not disappoint. By far the best Indian this world traveler has had. You can’t go wrong with the meat and vegetarian appetizer platters. The rose petal chicken korma was slight sweet with hints of rose water and coconut, while the Daal Makhani was rich and earthy. The wine we ordered (sulya) paired well with the lamb korma which was pressure cooked, with the correct balance of heat, flavor and tartness. We also ordered peshawari and garlic naan. Both were flaky and crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. Every time I come to Windsor, I will make it a point to visit the Mango Lounge at least once!

The venue, very bright & clean the food very fresh & tasty the staff very professional & polite the price very reasonable
Me very satisfied will be my place for Indian food for 2016

The best Indian food you’ll ever have in England! I’ve tried the vegetarian appetizer sampler as well as many main dishes and always leave happy and full. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!

Went with my business associates to Mango for dinner, as no trip to UK is complete without a delish Indian repast. I’ve had a lot of good Indian food I my time, but rarely would I ever describe it as transcendent. But Mango prices to be the exception. We turned over control of the ordering to the waiter who fixes us up with the perfect dinner. Starters included perfectly fried Fig Samosas, a giant almond crusted fried prawn in a parfait of three vegetable coulis and cream, and perfectly seared scallops on a earthy sweet bed of coarse chopped al dente peas. Mains included three different curry gravies, one with Turkey, one with chicken, and one with a lamb shank. All three impressive, distinctive and with just enough heat to remind you your at an authentic Indian establishment. For sides, we had the one misstep of the evening: a cauliflower and potato dish out-​shown by a fabulous dry-​not-​mushy okra sauté. All this was capped off with their version of an Eton Mess. The piece de resistance? A complimentary highball glass of Baileys! Excellent service. Innovative dishes. A fair price. Highly recommend. Don’t miss.

If you’re fed up of traditional Indian places with the velvet wallpaper, or simply want an Indian but in a «nice restaurant», you should try this place. It is a decent size and I’ve never found it to be packed (been here three times). It has an airy feel and a modern décor. They’re aiming for an upmarket feel and come out with amuses bouches (they’ve always been the potato fritters).
While they’re not molecular cooking Indian (now there’s a thought!) there are some dishes with ingredients that you won’t associate with Indian cuisine: Tandoori guinea fowl, monkfish, venison masala. Presentation is immaculate and portion sizes are fair without being enormous (I had the lamb biryani and had leftovers). Sides are smaller than mains.
I would pick this place over others in Windsor simply because of the ambience.

We came across Mango while enjoying a night walk around the castle. The restaurant has quite a few award winning dishes on the menu and all are delicious. UK definitely has some great Indian food and this was a fine example. We had scallops as starters that were absolutely amazing. I don’t remember the names of the main courses but they were spicy and tasty. Nice touch: once you are done with your meal the staff doesn’t rush with the check to you giving some time to enjoy after food relaxation. Unfortunately it is not very common in states.

I have been to Windsor many times on business and have seen this restaurant a few times but never took the opportunity try it… until now. Was craving curry and staying just down the road so decided to venture down and try it out. Ambiance was nice, a little more upscale than other curry restaurants I have been too. As for the food, I had the duck spring roll to start. Tasted good but the duck was too mushy for me and would not order this again. For main I had the chettiand chicken, pulav rice and garlic naan. Everything was delicious and exactly what I was looking for. Chicken had some nice heat and good flavours. Overall great meal and I recommend this place. It was a little pricey but also not your typical curry take away spot. Try it.

The food was great. Every appetizer that we tried was delicious. We also tried the chicken, lamb, and vegetables and they were all good.

Windsor Curry Club meets at a different restaurant each month, rating each experience for Flavour, Service, Atmosphere and Value for Money. We ask the restaurant to choose the menu in advance, giving them the opportunity to serve their best. We visited the Mango Lounge in August 2012. This was the club’s second visit to the restaurant the last time being January 2011. The restaurant charges 25% more than the average for a meal in Windsor, so we expected something very special. We were greatly disappointed. The starters were bland followed by a poor choice of mains. A dish of King prawns were coated in something that turned them rock hard. The Mango Lounge is one of the few restaurants to serve us a desert, Carrots pudding with mango kulfi and fruit compote. We would have preferred more attention had been given to the main, however the desert was excellent. Windsor Curry Club rated the modern style Mango Lounge 6.03 out of 10.
The total cost of the meal (Inc. Drinks & Service) was £42.00 a Head.

I was in town for one night and wanted a good curry. I asked the guy at the train station where I could get one, and he pointed me here (right up the street).
I LOVE this food. It is a bit of traditional Indian with a new «fusion» twist thrown in. Normally I’d avoid that, but I am glad I gave it a shot. We had a large group and sampled a bit of everything. The Spinach and Feta Samosas were small but full of amazing flavor. We were given a free sample of the sweetcorn patties and they were great too. My favorite was the spiced potato salad, served cold.
I had the Butter Chicken with Spinach. It was just sweet enough without being overwhelming, and the spinach was a nice and unusual touch. The chicken was all white meat and very tender, with no fatty bits.
The Lamb Korma was very lovely, creamy and sweet, and the lamb was sooo tender. My uncle had the Lal Maas and said it was the best lamb curry he’d ever had, and he has been eating curry in London for 30 years.
The deserts were great too. I decided on the no-​so-​Indian Mango and Passionfruit Brulee, and I am glad I did. It was a perfect combination of flavors to cool off after a spicy meal. I enjoyed the passionfruit seeds inside. My sister found the Rose Kulfi to be her favorite.
The staff was very friendly and accommodated our group of 5 quickly without a reservation. They checked on us frequently as well.
If you are in Windsor for a night and you want a great dining experience, go here!

I found this Indian restaurant charming. Went to eat family style, (e.g. sharing meal) for dinner with a group of coworkers and we had the award winner dish (note very spicy), the apetizer combo (chicken, shrimp, and lamb) with seasoning sauce, a lamb dish, rice dish, and a side of bread and found the food suprising very good. Service could use some help, but overall I recommend this location.

Came here a couple times on my last trip. Trendy atmosphere. Really good curries and naan. Mango lassi could be better, but the prices are really reasonable for what you get. Overall a good experience.
