Bengal Cymru — Restaurant in Wales

Dear Goggle Maps Team and Readers

Here goes our visit and review. As you will know being married to the Lord of Darkness for a very long time I knew I could get his attention with an Asian buffet meal such as his weakness for chilli and spice and his apprentice the Prince of Chaos being just as weak minded when it comes to his stomach.

I didn't book a table but asked his lordship to take us here, there was little resistance as if ...... on arrival a small but decent sized carpark awaited the chariot of insanity. I went in and asked if we could have a table for 3 of which they could so went to summon his lordship from his chariot and we were shown to a nice table in the middle. The waiter took our drinks order 3 soft drinks as his lordship is on a major desugarisation programme following getting beat up by his Doctor for his BP and MMoL recently, ha how the mighty have fallen like a fallen angel 😇 such as he is. The waiter advised it would be a few minutes whilst they finished filling the buffet and true to word within 5 mins they got the green light and both my men, my demonic husband and my son his apprentice of chaos were out of the blocks like the end of the world was coming.

Well they gave the buffet the bashing it deserved and both said it was awesome, really good quality food and whilst it wasn't like those bigger national buffets that you can find it was small but extensive enough to cater for those wishing to try Asian to those pair of hard core chilli heads of mine

The food stations were kept clean by a waiter continually cleaning up the stations, fresh top ups we coming out and we were asked several times if it was ok of which is like taking your life in your own hands when these pair are in food demolishing mode

His highness top rated was the mint chilli tikka masala which if he had he way would have put a chair up to the station with a ladle such as he rated the masala

This place hit a fast 5 star rating and it will be a struggle to stop them returning while on our tour of South Wales. Whilst Asian food can be something to everyone, for us in the house of chaos we felt it was worthy of 5 stars, for the food, quality, cleanliness, service and the price was reasonable for 3 adults plus 3 drinks circa £60 was today bearing in mind it's a buffet was value for money for 5 stars

We recommend this place to not just the locals but for tourists to the area, it's worth a drive to, book in advance is recommended as I suspect it gets busy

The only redeeming quality was the food was tasty, so if they do take away maybe stay at home. We reserved a table, when we turned up there was no table ready and it was first come first serve why bother having table reservations. After 20 to 30 mins we were finally seated at a dirty table. We did not want the buffet so ordered Al a carte. The restaurant was extremely busy which the staff were not really capable of dealing with and the organisation was terrible. We were not served drinks sometimes we asked 2 or 3 times just for a glass of water and a beer. We waited at least 30mins for our ordered to be taken. We ordered popadoms and chutneys for pre meal nibbles which were not brought out, they did a 6for the price of 2 for and brought it out with the meal. We waited from order at least 30mins for starters (samosas, onion bhajee and pakora) after starter we waited nearly 50mins for the main. The staff were constantly apologising for the wait and the lack of service but their apologies fell short. The staff tried their best but I would not return to or recommend...

Difficult to give an objective review as it was a Saturday evening with a birthday party of 40+ guests going on in the upstairs room, so very busy. In general this is an all you can eat buffet restaurant although it does say a set menu is available. Some confusion when we arrived as initially we had booked for 7, later updated to 12, but this hadn't been taken onboard, after some discussion an additional table was found and butted up to ours. The food is very good, but obviously as it is kept warm in large "hostess trolleys" it does take an edge off the quality. A fixed cost of £16.95 per adult Sun to Thurs, and £18.95 Fri & Sat. All in all a very good evening. Only two real negatives, could do with another pair of boots on the ground to keep things a bit tidier, and the actual food could do with a spice guide to how hot it is, one or two of our party plated some food they couldn't eat as it was too spicy for them so this was wasted. The online takeaway guides you'll see of; 🧅 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Would be really...
