Essence Of Bengal

We recently enjoyed another evening at the Essence of Bengal. Food has always been excellent and the staff are always friendly and professional. We look forward to another visit soon.

Generally the food was good though my wife's lamb was a bit chewy, but the service was very slow as take aways backed up making it a bit of a fraught atmosphere with lots of people about waiting .

The food is some of the best I’ve ever had at an Indian restaurant, unfortunately it took over an hour to get it! Then after asking for the bill I waited another 20 mins

Probably due to the weather the restaurant was very busy plus they were doing takeouts, but the food was as good as always & we didn’t feel rushed at all. We had a lovely meal & will definitely be going again.

Really nice food and can’t wait for another sit in meal in the future. The staff were really friendly and very prompt with the service

The food was great and the Service was friendly and reasonably priced. It was a little noisy due to large parties. Would go again in a group.

As always great food and service , good selection and well presented. The staff are always friendly and helpful and will help to make a dish of your choice.

Excellent food and excellent service. Was very busy but still didn’t have to wait long for our food. Will definitely be back again very soon.

Awful restaurant. Supposed to be open til midnight. We arrived about 10.45 and staff cleaning everywhere - this persisted til we left. The food - sag aloo and chilli garlic veg was tasteless and swimming in fat. This is not how to cook Indian food - an embarrassing effort and to be avoided at all costs.

We have been going to the Essence of Bengal for years. We have never had anything to complain about the food is always excellent & there is always a good atmosphere. The staff are very helpful & friendly, the prices are good & the beer is too. We will continue to visit the Essence of Bengal on a regular basis. Steve Ussher
