Bengal Bar Restaurant - Thurrock

For starters, we shared a Shemi Kebab and Sheesh kebab, both tasty and spicy. My main course was the Murgh Melai (Malayan Chicken), described as hot and creamy. It was delicious but lacked spice. My wife enjoyed the Pistachio Chicken. The 4-course meal included a starter, main course with rice (or naan bread), and a vegetable side dish. I had Motor Paneer and my wife had Aubergine as our vegetable sides. Unfortunately, King Prawns, Prawns, and mixed meat dishes were not included in the deal, but other options like Chef's specials were available. Drinks were reasonably priced, with beer costing £4 and a glass of wine £6. Overall, we had an enjoyable meal and would visit again. We rated it as average since "good" wasn't an option. The service was okay, as there was only one person handling all the orders and serving. The wait time was not long, so we have no complaints.

The Bengal is one of two Indian restaurants located on Lampits Hill, both striving to succeed during this challenging time. We recently had a satisfying meal at The Bengal and would happily dine there again. I typically order a Madras curry, and I found that The Bengal's version was slightly spicier than the other Indian restaurant nearby, which added a nice touch. The prices were reasonable, and overall we had no complaints. I would recommend giving The Bengal a try.

Once again, we had a fantastic night out at this restaurant. Your company always enhances our experience. The food was delicious, the beers were cold, and there were plenty of ciders in the fridge. We enjoyed a great meal followed by a coffee. Overall, a lovely experience.

Live locally, always had good food but not this time. Always order tikka chicken in whatever dish we have, this time we ordered the set meal one B and an extra main meal both has tikka chicken, it could of been anything we was eating, no flavour, full of water and definitely not tasting like chicken. Afraid we will not be going back.

I didn’t think it was possible for Indian food to be so lacking in taste. Had a prawn puri ? to start, and a chicken madras, with mushroom rice for main course. I reckon if I’d been blindfolded, I’d have struggled to tell the difference between the prawns and the chicken. All very wet. Not good enough.
