Bingi's Kitchen, Authentic Indian Regional Cuisine — Restaurant in Belfast

On the Newtownards Road in East Belfast, Bingi’s Kitchen is a fantastic little restaurant serving authentic Indian regional cuisine.

We were recently invited to try the menu, and we were bowled over by the wonderful flavours, textures and aromas of the dishes.

Starting with traditional Pani Puri-an immensely popular Indian street food of crispy, hollow, fried dough balls (puri) which we broke open and filled with potatoes and chickpeas together with spicy water. The Dhahi Puri were already stuffed with tasty fillings and drizzled with yogurt, and the Samosa Ragda Chat was a spicy chole chat served with veggie samosa.

In fact, Bingi’s kitchen is a vegetarian paradise, with many meat-free dishes on the menu.

We continued our feast with a delicious Hyderabadi Paneer Dum Biryani with Mint Raita: probably one of the tastiest and fragrant biryanis we’ve ever experienced. This was accompanied by an Egg Burji-a delicious sweet and spicy scrambled egg dish with fried paratha.

We were keen to try Bingi’s Kitchen’s famous Dosas, but we were so satisfyingly full, we’ll have to postpone this treat until the next time!

To finish, we had some cooling, yogurty Mango Lassi, and two traditional Indian desserts, Gulab Jamun and Rasgulla.

Bingi’s Kitchen has been closed for a two week holiday, but will reopen on 10th September, with some fantastic new menu items and promotions. The restaurant is BYOB, and the opening hours are 12:00-22:00 Tues-Fri and 10:00-22:00...

I had been to bingi’s kitchen and I would say it’s best ever place to get the authentic Indian taste to all other places out there which I have tasted till date BINGI’S KITCHEN marked to the point with the perfect taste Chicken Dum biryani- i have to explain it's too good and in northern ireland there are other indian restaurants but it doesn't give indian taste can tell those are all not indian at all but this restaurant gives perfect indian taste. The chicken was well cooked with that exact spice and it was juicy and very tasty highly recommend it. The chicken shawarma wrap is next level as it is to the match to what we get in India from indian spices, it can never be compared to any other places ever in Belfast Mango Lassi is out of the box taste tooo good must try ‘THE BEST’ Mutton Dum biryani was also too amazing. no words at all overall experience was high as they have maintained cleanliness and very hygienic too. Definitely must visit place in BELFAST for the top notch quality food and best taste for Indian food lovers❤️

Hats off to...

If you’re looking for flavoursome, authentic Indian cuisine, this is the place to go. I ordered a delivery of 2 dishes. Really enjoyed the potato-filled masala dosa - and sambar, a lentil soup-like accompaniment to the dosa , complete with small chunks of a vegetable called ‘drumsticks’ (for the uninitiated, you don’t eat the skin!) The Hyderabad biryani is served with pilau rice on top of whole pieces of chicken leg. It really was the nicest I’ve ever tasted, the chicken was beautifully flavoured, almost fragrant, as was the rice. It didn’t come with a vegetable side dish as is usual but perhaps this is what makes it a Hyderabad biryani and doesn’t need any more dressing up. Both dishes were on the spicy side as typical of South Indian cuisine. All in all, a beautiful home-cooked style meal - and I can even forgive the courier for not pressing the doorbell when the food was delivered (!) meaning it had to be warmed up...
