Kis Bangla — Restaurant in Budapest

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (Updated)

🛑 EDIT: Although the menu clearly states “no additional service charge”, I was still charged a 10% service fee at the end. This felt misleading and took away from an otherwise good experience — so I’m updating my review to 3 stars.

📍 I visited this Indian restaurant in Budapest and ordered a full meal to try a mix of their best dishes. Here’s my honest, detailed breakdown 👇

⸻

🍛 Dal Gosht with Chicken – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deep, rich curry with great lentil texture. They actually honored my “Indian spicy” request, which is rare. This dish alone is worth coming back for.

⸻

🍖 Tandoori Lamb Tikka – ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ The meat was tender and flavorful, but portion size was more like a starter. The sour sauce didn’t match the lamb well, and the mayo-cabbage on the side didn’t work for me.

⸻

🫓 Garlic Naan – ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Soft and buttery, perfect for dipping. Could use more garlic and a slight crisp, but overall enjoyable.

⸻

🥭 Mango Lassi – ⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointing. Tasted like watered-down supermarket yogurt. Way too thin, no real mango flavor or tang.

⸻

✨ Vibe & Service The decor is beautiful and cozy — a nice place to sit down and enjoy Indian food. Service was polite and fast.

⚠️ BUT: The menu explicitly says “no additional service charge”, yet I was charged a 10% service fee anyway. This needs to be fixed or clarified.

⸻

💡 If you’re searching for: • Authentic Indian food in Budapest • Best Indian curry near me • Garlic naan & spicy Indian dishes …this place has potential. But be aware of the billing inconsistency.

I recently dined at kis Bangla Indian Restaurant during my visit to Budapest, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and made sure we felt comfortable. The menu offered a wide range of authentic Indian dishes, and the staff was happy to guide us through some lesser-known options. We ordered the butter chicken, paneer tikka, and dal makhani, along with garlic naan and vegetable biryani. Every dish was flavorful and aromatic, clearly prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic spices. The butter chicken was creamy and well-balanced, and the dal had the perfect slow-cooked richness. What stood out most was the consistency and depth of flavor — nothing felt rushed or overly commercial. Portions were generous, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality. The ambiance was simple but clean and inviting, with soft Indian music playing in the background — subtle enough to allow conversation. Service was attentive but not intrusive, and our server even checked in mid-meal to ensure everything was to our liking. If you're craving real Indian food with soul, I highly recommend kis Bangla It's a fantastic option whether you're familiar with Indian cuisine or trying it for...
