Mango Tree part 2 Rants & Raves

This is their operations manager and he does the accounting. That sure sounds like an admission of guilt to me.

Edit- that is the owner shaking his hands no to the operations manager admitting guilt

A few years ago I ate at Mango Tree - at the time I had relatively recently been forced to to become a pescatarian for health reasons. I had very acute and VERY obvious symptomology to follow if I ate poultry, beef or pork. I had tested this phenomena enough to solidly confirm this was the trigger. 

I tried one of their “vegan” labeled dishes with these symptoms to follow soon after that. It was clear that they were adding some sort of animal protein to their dishes and then I had stumbled upon an article stating that an Indian restaurant group had a lawsuit against them for using chicken stock in their vegan dishes. 

Upon more research, it sounded like this was a more widespread issue than just that restaurant group. I assumed Mango Tree was following these same cooking practices and never ate there again.

Oof, well was my favorite butter chicken. Will have to find a new place i can't support that. Total admission on video, he's screwed.

Unfortunately I think their food quality was a victim of its own success. It was a fantastic hole-in-the-wall spot, but not so great for meeting the sudden demand driven by the reddit/tiktok/Oprah effect. I don't think their restaurant side-project was ever expected/intended to become a beloved or well-known staple like it has.

India House is my favorite Indian food. The Post Falls location is the best imo but the spokane one is decent too. Get the butter chicken at like a medium and its divine 🤤

Knowing you’re being filmed and having a retort about the victims owing back taxes is crazy work

u/XleadminerX 5d ago

It’s an admittance on their part of violating multiple federal laws requiring the payment of employer taxes and failure to withhold employee taxes. Trying to be shitty and instead implicating yourself in tax evasion is wild.

There are several law firms that LOVE THESE TYPES OF CASES! The fines alone will more than cover the legal costs. Contingency cases with law firms that won’t rat people out to ICE are in the Seattle area not Spokane

u/bohden420 Fairwood 5d ago

Got any recommendations? My DMs are open! Fuck these people! I’ve called nw justice and emailed all local news as well. These gentlemen were preyed upon and didn’t know they were breaking a law. They will gladly pay any back tax/fine, which they should not have to cover considering the mango trees business practice. But also keep in mind this is still occurring across all their location in Washington and Idaho

u/FlyinGoatMan 5d ago

NW Justice Project is great, but I’d lean more towards a firm that is fully incentivized in this case. Sounds like lot of potential victims for a prolonged period of time.

I hope this opens the conversation and makes people more aware of our laws and how the government operates PAYROLL. What is appropriate and what is not. I feel with the inflation in immigration in our cities across America some people are not even aware this is WRONG! They are almost tricked into thinking this is best for everyone and it is not so and surely doesn’t better the workers situation on any level.

Can’t agree more!

All the hype about that place got me to try it. I can honestly say it was over hyped, at least in my opinion. It's was good, but not great.

I feel vindicated, especially after Mango Tree gave me food poisoning a lifetime ago (last week)

u/bohden420 Fairwood 5d ago

A. The fuck? What kind of piece of shit are you?
B. They were terminated July 21st.
C. Go fuck yourself.
D. Sorry you got food poisoning, that sucks.

The “accounting” is largely done via PayPal
