Mango Tree - new Thai takeaway for Greystones

grudgehugger

According to their Twitter account, the Mango Tree, a Thai takeaway and delivery business is to become the latest addition to our food options in Greystones.

The company, that already has two locations in Lucan and Rathfarnham, posted about opening in the Meridian - this Spring if I read the posts correctly.

The tweets were very positive and included shouts out to other local businesses like Cavistons, Happy Pear, Burnaby et al which is good to see from a new entrant to the local scene.

Am looking forward to my first Larb Moo already

Anyone got any experience of these guys' food from their other branches?

More choice is good.
Any clue where they are going?
Know my OH will be thrilled - me not so much.

Some real Thai food would be great. There's plenty of Chinese takeaways that make an heroic effort but it's just not the same. I hope they'll deliver as far away as Bray

They are moving in beside the Post Office in the Meridian

We used to live in Rathfarnham and Mango Tree was our staple takeaway. We've always had great meals from there - proper fresh Thai food. It should do well here - reckon it's the only food option that we are missing here.

I got my fist takeaway from the Mango Tree at the weekend, and was not disappointed. A very Spicey Thai Green Curry and Pad Thai with Pork Spring Rolls to start.

All the food tasted great, it came in around €10 cheaper than an equivalent Indian Spice meal delivered. My only gripe was they estimated 50 minutes for delivery and it arrived after twice that time. I guess they were fairly busy, but I'd rather just be told this upfront.

It's going to be a tough choice between getting thsi deleivered in future or calling in to Chakra for weekend takeaways.

As I'm in Bray, does anyone know what their delivery area is? There's nothing I can see on their website.

Give them a shout on Facebook, they seem to be good at responding quickly.

100 minutes for a takeaway? - that's ridiculous.

....it was actually longer, but I thought the phrase "twice as long" was less petty than 110 minutes! Yes, I was watching the clock.

I think it was it's first weekend of opening, and I ordered fairly early, so I wasn't too concerned, just like to be told up front. My only gripe really.

I'd have said something. They would surely have give you a concession for that. Agreed, the food is great and wel priced. During the week it's €24 for two mains and two starters. Pad Thai is great as are red and green curries. Beef is often tough in Thai takeaways and I found this to be the case. Satay is good, spring rolls were not. But overall, a very welcome addition and only ten minutes wait for pick up.

I'm ordering now for my Friday night beer and takeaway!

Missus popped in there tonight as she was going to the Chakra with some work colleagues and asked them about delivery and it's only to Greystones, Delgany and Newcastle apparently

probably for the best... if it takes them 2 hours to deliver to Greystones imagine how long it would take them to get the food to Bray!

Ordered from here on their opening night, food was fab and very reasonable, its a welcome addition to Greystones.

They delivered in 50 mins (which i didnt mind as Indian spice have delivered after 1.5 hours sometimes) - based in Delgany

I think its a great new takeaway

realgolfgeek

I ordered, they said it would take 40 minutes, and it took 40 minutes.

I have to say, I devoured the food, I thought it was fantastic. A very nice welcome to the area, hope they can keep it up.

I had exactly the same experience tonight.
Great food and value for money.

Had a meal earlier. Fresh food, cooked on the spot, absolutely beautiful. I can see us becoming regulars there for sure.

krieture

Got a take away last night. They said 30 mins. It was here in 30 mins. Lovely food. Fresh, spicy and no msg chinese additives. Highly recommend. Great addition to greystones

Myself and the housemate ordered from the Mango Tree tonight. Wow. Just wow. One of the best meals I've ever had. Seriously.

We got the Pork Satay, Duck Pad Thai, fried rice and noodles (hereafter to be referred to as "The Usual"). Everything was absolutely indescribably good. The noodles were different to what we were expecting, but no less delicious. The food was all fresh and excellently cooked. The Duck Pad Thai is absolutely delicious.

The whole lot, including delivery and a tip for the driver, came to €25. Really good value. Fed the two of us for €12.50 apiece, and fed us well.

Really impressed. Excellent. I cannot throw enough superlatives at this place.

Is there a restaurant there, or is it just take-out?

But to close, 10/10, welcome addition to Greystones, brilliant. Do not think about it, just order from there. It is unbelievable. I don't think even Gordon Ramsay could find fault! :P

It's just takeout

Agree. So far I've just tasted my son's green curry chicken. Delicious! And only €9.95.

They're opening a sit down section soon! Hopefully it will be BYO. Bring a Tiger in with you and have a quick bite!

I noticed the post office moved out of half their building a while back and that has been walled off and the back being up for rent. If I remember correctly this part runs along the back right up to the take away. Maybe they are going to knock through and use that. The entrance to this part would be at the road side.
