Bengal Lounge Wetherby — Restaurant in Leeds

These guys epic.... such friendly and accomodating staff, not to mention them adding the odd extra sundry items (extra poppadom when ordered for eg) on foodhub. On the occasion i ordered outside of the app, they had forgotten my 2 poppadoms when it arrived - the chap was so apologetic. He said he would be around 15 minutes to rediliver a mere 2 poppadoms to which would have been a loss to them, having to redeliver. I mentioned not to worry about it. Ten minutes later a different delivery driver arrived, they were again very apologetic but they had doubled the amounr of poppadoms and sent a pickle tray also as an apology. Absolutely stunned. The quality of the food (mixed kebab on naan) it one of the best in Wetherby, where usually the marinated chicken from other places tends to be rather dry, the tandoori chicken from here is unbelievably succulent, the kebab meat also is different to that found in Wetherby, it too being succulent and delicious. The one thing which isn't common or easy to find in Wetherby zis naan bread kebabs, or freshly baked the proper way naan - these guys do it excellently! Be gal Lounge -...

Just lovely. Great food. Good service.

Booked for 4 of us on a Saturday night at 7pm and glad we did. The restaurant was full and buzzing. That didn't impact on service which was quick, efficient, really pleasant and polite. The restaurant isn't licenced but you can bring your own drink and there are no corkage charges.

Poppadoms and pickles were, well, poppadoms and pickles.

For main course all 4 of us had lamb dishes, a biryani, two karahis and I had the Syadpur Special. Beautifully spiced, just enough heat for me (I usually like it hot, this was quite mild for me but I could still feel it a bit).  We had a garlic naan, a cheese and garlic naan and coconut rice accompaniments.

Everyone commented on how much we enjoyed it, and that there was plenty of tender lamb pieces in the dishes.

Great value at £65 total.

No hesitation in giving a 5* review for the...

I have read a lot of positive reviews about this restaurant, however on the two occasions I’ve either eaten in or taken away, I have been left disappointed. We dined in for the first time at the weekend, and again found the food to be very average. The vegetarian side dishes were particularly poor. The service was mixed - some staff were very friendly and attentive, however others weren’t.

Unfortunately the main issue came when I found a hair in my curry. As I was out as part of a group for an occasion, I wasn’t in a position to raise this at the time and make a fuss, however made it clear on my plate for the waiter clearing the table.

At the end of the meal, a QR code was put on the table and we were encouraged to leave a positive review. I suspect this is why this restaurant is rated so highly, however this isn’t somewhere I would choose...
