Spice Of Bengal - South Lakeland

WOW, what a lovely meal we had at Itihaas last night. This band of six brothers have come up trumps with their renovation and reinvention of the old Spice of Bengal which to be honest, also dished up some lovely food. The decor, the ambience, the friendly staff and excellent food and service all came together seamlessly. Thanks lads for a brilliant dining experience we cant wait to return next week, and the week after, and the week after..........Cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be telling all our guests to try it too!

What a great meal and great service to match. This restaurant has recently been bought out so don't be put off by any of the bad reviews. It's now called Itihaas. From walking through the door to the point we left we couldn't have asked for anything more. The food was beautifully presented and very very tasty. We were in a couple but the place had plenty families in as well and the waiters were making a fuss of the children and making them feel welcome. We would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a curry and we can't wait to come again.

Now called Itihaas. Everything was excellent. Couldn't complain about anything . Well done to the team.

We always used to go for a curry here on our occasional Lake Distinct visits but this time there was newspaper up on all the windows and it's definitely closed down which is a big shame as we loved it here.There is no indication if or when it will open again :

This has to be the worst Indian restaurant I have ever had the misfortune of visiting!!! Eight of us went there last night we were seated at a table just inside the door where people were collecting takeaway despite the fact that the main restaurant was empty) we should have left then but having visited a few years ago when the food and service were excellent we decided to stay. Big mistake! Staff were surly and unsmiling and unfriendly. With the exception of one young lad. When we ordered they had no pakora a staple in most Indian restaurants) no Diet Coke and no Pernod!!! The basic curry was extremely hot and inedible. Overnight my sister who had the prawn bhuna was extremely ill. no alcohol) DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!
