The Bengal Lancer — Restaurant in Cotswold District

Hands down the WORST food I have ever attempted to eat in my life. Looked and smelled like vomit. Honestly a pathetic attempt at cooking. What's more infuriating is they must know it. My partner ordered at the restaurant and brought it home for us to eat. As soon as we started dishing up, the absence of quality was obvious. We had a taste of everything and felt immediately sick. The korma was watery, gritty, anaemic and bland, the 'king prawn' balti was like chewing balls of rubber in tomato soup and oil. What's worse is we immediately called up to complain and get a refund.. and they closed early. They obviously knew it was awful and probably didn't want the hassle. But this is not over.

I would give minus stars if I could. Where's Gordon Ramsay when...

Very dissapointed. We aren’t local but thought we’d give it a go. Lovely friendly staff, we didn’t eat in as the music was really loud so chose a takeaway. Bombay Aloo (potato) wasn’t even a step up from bubble and squeak, it was literally refried potatoes in turmeric, no flavour to them at all. Very different to any other Bombay Aloo I’ve ever eaten. We also ordered Chick Tikka Masala. It was tasteless, no flavour at all, tasted a bit like chicken soup with tomato soup thrown in. So dissapointed. The Naan bread was about the only thing that was authentic and tasted good. I really hope they up their game or listen to the feedback as they could be...

It's not your typical Indian restaurant. It's quite small, the walls are very plain, painted magnolia, with few decorations, so very basic. There was no music playing in the background either, so not the ambiance you usually get in an Indian restaurant. But the place was full (it was on a Wednesday) so obviously a popular place to go.

The food was very nice, the service was good. You bring your own wine or beer so it makes it a relatively cheap evening. No frills, but if you're going purely for the food you won't be...
