Visited Bengal Village last Friday evening and had a great experience. They had friendly staff, fabulous food and stylish decor - none of the traditional curry house gaudiness here. Be sure to book as the place was packed though. Only negative at Bengal Village was the noisy Anzacs in the corner but you can't blame the restaurant for that!

Although there was no one else in Bengal Village when we visited today, our server was impatient and rude and the plates were dirty & service was slow. When the food finally arrived, the portions were small and the food was unappealing. My Thali was £13 yet had less food than if I had ordered a separate curry, rice and naan which would have been two thirds of the price! The lamb looked as though it was bruised and old.

I was not able to eat my food, yet when I complained, the staff refused to take the meal off the bill and started to shout at me. This place is horrific...the worst dining experience I have had in London. Avoid the Bengal Village at all costs.

Bengal Village is along Brick Lane and is a really good, authentic Indian place. Lots of really spicy dishes and it's all reasonably priced.

I like Bengal Village.
