Awesome Thai Food at Mango Tree Bistro Bengaluru

Mango Tree Bistro is Bangkok's favourite destination, now at Indiranangar Bengaluru. Finally we have a restaurant that serves up authentic thai cuisine.

Ambiance is cosy at the same time a large balcony is converted into a seating area which is covered with glass panels, its fun to be seated there during the day and it converts into a different space during the night with candle lit lanterns and soft lighting, also get ready to stare at the celling for some recipes, it will totally keep you preoccupied while waiting for your meal.

The menu is simple and authentic thai,  they serve a la carte and  set menu, my suggestion you pick the a la carte the portion size is awesome. the bar is well stocked looks like a space from hong kong absolutely wonderful and refreshing cocktails and mocktails are served at an affordable price. I totally enjoyed the tom yum soup, the shrimp cakes are awesome with some beer, the tiger prawn curry is a true winner followed by mixed veggie thai green curry served with jasmine rice and desserts are to die for fried ice cream and thai style sticky rice with mango was yum and refreshing.
