Shipston Bengal Cuisine — Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

It's the only Balti in the village which can be a bit of a worry but fear not as we had a good meal here. The initial impression wasn't great, the room was very cold and in different stages of refurbishment. It should be OK when completed. I was aware that the service was a little stretched between the restaurant and the take away trade but it wasn't really a problem for us. The waiter (owner) did a great single handed job. The menu is the familiar "traditional" Bangladeshi offering. Unfortunately I made the very rare mistake of opting for the Shorisha, as I was advised it was flavoursome. To be fair the mustard oil did clear my sinuses. The wife's Balti was pleasant enough and the sides were very good. .

It's a bit of a pain but we love the food, so it's something we accept might happen occasionally. Well worth a try, but don't blame me if...

Ordered online at 5.20. Appreciate they don’t open until 5.30, but order not accepted until 6.15?! Advised would be 60 mins for delivery. Tried phoning throughout this time and no answer! Just basic ‘no one is available to answer your call message’ (doesn’t even say you’re through to Bengal). Finally arrived at 7.30. Meal was luke warm and biryani curry was full of sweet corn and peas. Certainly won’t be using them again. Their reason when I asked on delivery of the time delay and not answering phone - we come...
