The Royal Bengal — Restaurant in Babergh

The food and service is amazing from here, whether you are eating in or taking away. But the reason I’m leaving this review is today I was dealing with my 2 year old having the worst public meltdown she has ever had waking through Hadleigh high street, I decided to just stop and sit on the pavement to try and calm her down enough to carry in walking. After a few minutes the owner of the restaurant came out (we had stopped opposite on the other side of the road) with 2 lollipops for my daughter which instantly stopped her meltdown like nothing had happened. I just thought it was so nice and thoughtful as he didn’t have to do this (maybe he just wanted the shrieking to stop lol) but it helped me out massively. I don’t know the owners name but whenever we have gone in to eat he has always been very attentive but he really went out if his way to help today when again there was no reason for him to. Would recommend this place to anyone before this but even...

Firstly it took me 3 attempts to be able to receive my order, the first being cancelled last minute (I wasn’t able to place an order for food anywhere else due to the time after they decided to cancel) the second cancelled because they couldn’t see my address? Rude man on the phone hung up on me twice. 3rd time I had to order through something else and no longer had my discount (also had to pay extra as there was a £20 minimum) chicken wings were expensive for what you get (2) with hardly any meat on the bone, the rice wasn’t good either, the only redeeming factors were the tandoori chicken which you’d hope for if you’d spent £10 on it, and the naan bread which you can’t really mess up (however it wasn’t very garlicky) overall, wouldn’t order from them again (I was offered 20% off if I went to collect it however I have noticed that is an offer for everyone and not something offered...

When I was in my teens, I went to this restaurant a lot, once a week with friends would be fair to say. It would be my go to, but then as the years went on the food went down hill and others in the area were better. Recently, the restaurant changed ownership and rumours were going about saying it was really good again, so after years of avoidance, I decided to go back and try it, and it was fantastic. The dishes were beautifully cooked and tasty, the bahji's were big and round and delicious. The Saag Paneer, definitely the best I've ever had. And the service, I don't know if he is the owner or the manager, but he knows how to host and make you feel welcome. Making sure you have everything you need. For me, it is great that this has returned back to form. I have been several times before writing this review, and I can confirm that it has been consistent with what I...
