MAMBO WINE AND DINE REVIEWS

Everytime we come here the staff are amazing. Whether its a table for 2 on Friday night, or the whole family for Sunday dinner, the guys at Mambos can't do enough for you. The food is amazing and everything id fresh. The cocktail list is also extensive. Best restauraunt in South Shields by far. Well done guys.

Amazing experience and top quality food along with staff that went above and beyond to accommodate us while there I only wish we took more photos but inhaled our starters in record time, just managed to get a photo of the steak before I cleaned the plate. Me and my partner had a brilliant experience here and will most certainly be back for more meals here with it being such great value and quality

Went there for my birthday. The place was beautiful and spacious. Got a nice seat. The waiters were nice. I loved the meals! Starter was delicious, well spiced, good portion. Mains were also very lovely. Portions great. Loved everything

We want to return to try some other dishes as found it hard to choose what to try first In the photos, we have Lasagne, Mac n Cheese, Cheese Garlic Doughballs, Chucky Chips and Steak &Cheese Springrolls.

The most amazing food and service yesterday for my babyshower. Everyone said it was the best buffet they’ve ever had! Amazing service too for 50 people.

Really nice place. Friendly, attentive staff. Great food and good prices. Would highly recommend.

ISLAND GRILL REVIEWS

Beautiful restaurant in South Shields along ocean road! Went here last night and the atmosphere was very calm and nice. It was clean and the food was delicious. Fantastic service from David and his Dad were they were lovely! Served halal food and would highly recommend. A hidden gem.

Had a fantastic evening celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday. The decor was very nice, the waiter David was so friendly and he was full of fun, and the food came very quickly and was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back to this restaurant.

Food here’s amazing, that’s just a fragment of a lamb meal, well soo tasty and rich.
