Bengalbaji — Restaurant in Forest of Dean

My partner and I live 25min away from this restaurant.

We are not really the kind of people that eat out or grab a takeaway as we are both pretty good cooks.

Obviously when on holiday and travelling we do, as you can see from some of my other reviews.

The Bengal Balti however is our go too once in a blue moon when we do eat out. The food is simply that good. We still try different dishes each visit.

The restaurant presumably has been around for many years, one of the first. It's a simple building not to flash.

You can see the manager and staff enjoy their work and it's all about the food. I know I've not posted any photos but others have.

This is not my closest restaurant to home however, definitely my favourite.

Point to Note - No Bar. Bring your own alcohol and only pay for the food & soft drinks on your visit. Makes for a less costly night with some of the best Indian food around.

Great food guys ~ don't stop doing what your doing as...

We spent a few days in the Forest of Dean and decided to order a takeaway for two from the Bengal Balti. The restaurant is spotless, and had a 5 star rating, and the staff were polite and friendly. The food is very reasonably priced, and the portion size's were plentiful. It was one one the best tasting curry meals that we have had in a long while. The only reason for the 4 stars was because the aluminium carton's that contained both curries were in a bit of a mess by the time we got back to our accommodation due to the excess ghee that had leaked from them. This would in no way put us off from ordering again from this restaurant the next time we visit...

If you hate fluorescent curry and rubbish poppadom dips then this is the Indian for you.

The spicy curries are actually spicy but full of flavour. The Korma was rich and coconutty. The rice is always cooked well. Never had a really oily curry or lack of meat which seems common elsewhere!!

Will continue to eat here both eat in and take away and highly recommend it, if you have tried the other Indians locally and been...
