Welcome to Bengal Lounge

“ Excellent authentic Indian restaurant that serves massive portions which are well prepared and cooked to perfection. The wines are paired perfectly for each dish and I would recommend getting the rioja to go with the duck. There are lots of combinations to try. The only downside is that they only accept cash, which you can get from the cash machine next door to it ”

“ Decided to try a new place and was very glad to have found this one. Got a take away and couldn't fault the curries or sides. ”

“ Deceptive from the outside, a really decent Indian restaurant. Pleasant staff, food is very good with an extensive menu. One small complaint is that they only accept cash which in this day and age is a little challenging. Fortunately an ATM a few shops down , but there are charges to withdraw money…. So most people unaware of the ‘cash only policy’ will start the evening a little peeved. The food and staff make up for that but I would ask that they reconsider this policy…. I guess the taxman would also desire this as well ”

“ My partner and I decided to try the banquet night which is poppadom with dips, choice of a starter a main and rice or nan £14.95. Banquet nights are Wednesday and Sunday and are very popular so booking is recommended. We chose Bhuna prawn puree, potato shamin starter, vegetable jalfrezi and vegetable dansak mains, vegetable pilau rice and mushroom pilau rice, in addition we had a side of vegetable vindaloo and Cucumber raitha. The distinct flavour of the Prawn Bhuna was to die for and the quantity would have been enough for a main, the potato shamin which were dumplings served with a mint sauce how ever were just too bland and failed miserably so would not order again would probably go for garlic mushrooms instead. The three curries were all vegetarian by choice and were all individually flavoured and unique and would definitely order again. Both the vegetable and mushroom pilau rice were light and full of flavour complementing the meal. My only negative was the lack of a sweet menu to finish off the meal other than that staff were attentive and pleasent to deal with. They only take Cash and we only spotted this half way through the meal, fortunately on this occasion we actually had some cash on us which is rarity. We intend to try them out Sunday as well. They are licenced and the prices are reasonable. ”
