"I had a takeaway roast dinner back in about June/July time last year and was pleasantly surprised, unfortunately either they were having an off day yesterday, or it has gone extremely downhill. My intention was to add the optional 5 pigs in blankets to the standard roast, but after a deal with Uber it worked out the same price to get the large roast instead, which boasts 5 pigs in blankets, an extra yorkshire, and extra meat. I did think it strange that I could order up to 4 different meats with the standard roast, but the option for pork was not available for the larger roast dinner. Anyhow, due to the value I ordered the large roast. I received 3 burnt pigs in blankets and a standard size sausage which could be likened in taste and texture to cardboard. I had two very small slices of gammon, one slice which was half fat and half meat (pic below is after removing fat), and one very thin slice of beef so much for the extra meat... The yorkshires were stale, and the potatoes although tasted alright, were very, very dark on the outside and the skin was bitter. The gravy wasn 't enough for a kid 's meal, never mind a large roast. The mash was enjoyable. Says it all really that this is the only positive. When I had a takeaway roast last year from the same place it arrived in a tray with sections for veg, meat etc, and it came with a decent helping of gravy. Despite ordering a larger roast than the one I ordered previously, it arrived crammed into a smallish bowl with a small tub of gravy. It was also cold and took over an hour to arrive after ordering, making me wonder whether it had just been sat there awaiting collection for ages. I was extremely disappointed."

"Decided on the Mango Leaf for our family gathering of the Vardy/Taylor clan. A table for 6 was booked for 7pm, 4 adults and 2 Grandchildren. We all arrived on time and we were greeted and seated in no time, drinks ordered and arrived in just a few minutes.It was my first visit here, and my daughter and partner had only ever had 1 takeaway delivered when it first opened, but I was pleasantly surprised upon entering, it 's not a big restaurant so straight away, you get that Cosy feeling. It wasn 't packed , but it was fairly busy, with only 5 or 6 tables not occupied.All 4 adults ordered a starter, and after devouring 6 popadoms between us, our starters arrived, 2 mixed kebabs and 2 hot meat wraps, and all were extremely nice and tasty and all well presented. A great start to a lovely family gathering..All the staff at the Mango Leaf were very friendly indeed, and I really could not fault the service one bit.In between starters and mains (about 15 minutes), we were entertained by my 7 year old grandchild magician, Rory, who enthralled and bamboozled us with his latest card tricks.The mains arrived soon after the entertainment so everyone tucked in. Between us, we had ordered a variety of meals, along with the usual accompaniments of rice and Naan bread, and more drinks.Absolutely no complaints from either of us and before long, six clean plates..More drinks to follow while we settled the bill, and the usual chit chat about what everyone 's food was like, and it was a resounding 6 XSpotlessly clean throughout and attentive, smiling, friendly staff. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending this place for a great night out feast.It 's difficult to pick out just one thing that made my evening memorable, because all the food, and all the staff were on point but for me, my shout out , goes to the garlic naan bread,,,, exceptionally good naan bread.Thank you to all management and staff at the Mango Leaf"
