Bengal Curry House, Walthamstow — Restaurant in London

Please, please eat here, it’s not one to be missed! I’ve been coming here for years and it’s my favourite! I do try other Indian restaurants in and out of London but I always prefer the food here. It’s delicious!

Really excellent value for money, nothing is overpriced and the food is always served hot and fresh. You can eat for 2 for around £30 here.

Tonight we ordered poppadoms and 4 came with all the yummy chutneys! We got a lamb Dansak (great if you like a bit of a spicy dish!) it was so tasty and the lamb was really tender and not fatty, very good quality. We also got a classic chicken tikka masala which was just so full of flavour and again excellent quality. We usually get one slightly mild curry and one hotter one. We got a peshwari naan, and pilau rices which actually come with the curries!! I also had a wine and we got tap water for the table and our bill was £30!

Great location and has a very authentic feel to it. Lovely authentic music and beautiful Indian art painted onto the walls.

You can book ahead by calling them, and if you’re like me and like a bit of privacy and romance you can request to sit in one of the 2 booths located at the front of the restaurant.

Having been somewhat disenchanted with Indian take away as of late, strongly due to the fact that everything began to blend into one dish fits all. This led me to start cooking my own ,just to get some distinction between dishes...... However, it may be time to hang up my karahi. Bengal curry house has restored my confidence in how wonderful Indian food can be... Each dish stood distinctively alone yet complimented everything else I ordered... In fact made me want to ditch the take away entirely and make the effort to go eat in the restaurant itself just to experience the authentic ambience. Have to say best garlic nann I have ever tasted... Potent, soft and luxurious... Don't know about you, but I'd be more than happy to forgo a kiss or two for this... You won't regret picking up the phone or in my case .. I intend being on first name basis with the...

Ordered takeaway - poppadoms and sauces, chicken madras, lamb dopiaza, pilau rice, naan bread, brinjal bhaji, bhindi bhaji. Everything was fresh and the meat was tender. Would have been 5 stars but the brinjal bhaji was pretty tasteless and the madras was mild and certainly not hot. They do have a 5 star hygiene rating which is a rarity for a curry house in Walthamstow, that alone is worth something! Also, slightly better value portion-wise than some other restaurants...
