Honestly what a lovely evening, off the cuff Sunday pop in. The food was delicious, all the family loved it including my 12yr old and 16 yr old. Everything was super tasty, the popadom pickle tray was delicious with loads of choic. Fantastic service! Thank you for a great night, lovely last minute decision to eat in for a change

This used to be our favorite restaurant. Hadn't been for a while so was looking forward to it. Walked in to very loud party going on out the back. Took to a table and offered a drink. Had the music and i think karaoke music blaring as well as the Indian music in the restaurant - could hardly hear each other talk. After waiting 15 minutes for some one to come over and take our order or offer papadums or any sort of service we had enough of the notice and decided to leave. Went to the bar to pay for a drinks - they seemed confused as to which bill was ours and didn't even ask us why we were leaving. Poor Service wont be going again.

Awful management, no customer service or communication. Came in early for dinner only one other couple in and waited 1hr 10 mins for food, no one came over and said there would be delay or is everything okay..when we did finally go over and ask where our food was they said they didn't know how long it would be as there was a food inspector in (which didn't make sense as they would need to watch them cook the food) The resturant was quiet. They kept saying "it's coming out now" 15 mins later still no food..when it did eventually come they forgot my sons meal which we had to order again and I had ordered a vegetarian curry and it came out with big chunks of chicken in!! There attitude towards was awful no apology, disaster of a meal. Food when it all came was okay but when I asked to speak to manager about it had to ask several times as no one ever came out. When he eventually did his people skills were awful didn't apologise, didn't see the issues and shrugged everything off just saying the health inspector was in. If someone had said when we placed the order that this was the case and there would be a long delay with the food then we would of accepted it and could of made a decision on wether to stay or not! Very disappointing, think they need training on customer service skills.

Ordered a delivery meal for two, chicken joy piri to start followed by chicken madras. I eat a lot of Indian food, in Leicester we have a lot of choice! The food here is as good as it comes!! Well worth a visit, delivery or takeaway it’s awesome!

We booked a table following the final of the local darts knock out cup (we won 😀) the booking was late but they were more than accommodating, it was a table for 9 at 22:15 on a Tuesday night so I am sure most can understand them accepting the booking is amazing! Service was really friendly, we weren’t made to feel rushed, food was lovely, surprisingly authentic for a rural curry house! Really impressed, we’ll definitely come back again!

Afraid to say this was the worst curry I've ever had. It wasn't curry. It was chicken in a tasteless sauce. Likewise with the paneer. My husband added curry powder and chilli from our cupboard in an attempt to make it taste of anything...

Ordered a takeaway from here recently, the food was delivered in 1hr45mins, they did say the wait could be 1hr30 but still thought this seemed a bit excessive. Of course when the food arrived we were all too hungry to care about the temperature! My peshwari naan was delicious! However the prawn pathia was a bit bland as well as the prawn puri.... I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt considering recent circumstances with the pandemic but I hope this isn’t a regular issue in future!

We have used this restaraunt for a number of years and found the food and service to be excellent. What has prompted me to write this review is that tonight,my wife and I went in to have a drink and collect a takeaway. As usual the food was great,but what wasn't usual is that when we got home,I discovered that I'd lost my wallet. Panic stations. I rang the restaraunt and straight away they told me that they'd found it. I went straight back,all my cards and money were there. They wouldn't accept a reward. Needless to say,they'll be getting a big tip next time. Thankyou Bangla Spice. Rod.

Specials £6.95 Rang again tonight and explained to be told website is different to those on the web have to put co.uk Haven't an issue with the food just feel they need to take the other 2 sites down as very misleading and confusing. Specials have gone up to £8.95 word of advise Check the price on the phone before completing order

We visited the Bangladesh spice, and was very disappointing in the delay in getting the food, 90 minutes, and the way the delay was handled by the staff/manager was the disappointing part, it was a quiet Monday night, and to wait 90 minutes without an apology is not the very good.

First of all I paid £3 for x2 200ml cokes but got told on the phone they are gonna be cans & because it was so small it got finished before my meal, second of all the driver had the cheek to tell me to check my change as he walked off laughing because he over charged me, third of all tails were left on my prawns & fourth of all man gave me bones in my chicken when it said it was bonless which gave me anxiety because I have a phobia of bones so now I won’t be coming back unless I’m starving.

Ordered a delivery for the 1st time. Chicken tikka masala well I’ve never seen anything like it, it was so runny it was like spicey tomato soup, the chicken was not chicken tikka it was small bits of rubber with no flavour awful. Also had chicken and lamb tawa, the sauce was really nice full of chunky veg and the gravy was flavoursome but the meat was awful bits of rubber. Really really disappointing, i emailed them a video of the food and no response. Need a new chef

My girlfriends family and I enjoyed a tasty curry at Bangla Spice. The naan bread was super fresh and a delight. The chicken tandoori was extremely tender and tasty, the prawn Bhuna was a tad bland & mild, but tasty all the same. My tarka dhal was nice but again nothing special. I would happily recommend this curry house to friends and family, just don’t expect anything fantastically amazing.

We go here regularly either to eat in the restaurant or to collect takeaway meals as it is in village and so we can walk there. We have always had very good service and now the staff greet us like old friends. The food is delicious and they are always careful to check that my daughter's meal is gluten- free. There is a wide choice of options and we usually enjoy either a Cobra or Kingfisher with our meals. We have never had any negative experiences and I would recommend them for a good value evening out.

Yet another great meal at the Bangla Spice, we eat here often because of the great food and tonight was no exception. It has to be one of the best restaurants in the country. The staff are amazing, constantly asking you if your alright, making sure you have enough to drink, if your food is alright the food is amazing, but the staff make the night extra special. We have taken friends and family there and they all agree this has to be one of the best Indians ever. The service is great, they cater for vegetarians, we have yet to have a bad meal there, if we can't make it to the restaurant we order a take away from them. This restaurant 1500 points instead of the 150 it has. go to the Bangla Spice you won't regret it.

What is there to say about the place, the food and the service apart from stunning!!I`ve eaten in posh and not so posh Indian restaurants around the country and in particularly the infamous ones around Sparkbrook in Birmingham and Bangla Spice in Cosby is up there with all of the best.With Abu and Mamz at the front of the house to greet you, you couldn`t wish to meet two more incredibly friendly individuals to take care of your every need with their in-depth knowledge of all the dishes on offer. And with the food that is as consistent as you would want it to be time after time, then look no further as this has to be one of the best gems in Leicestershire and stands head and shoulders above others. I agree entirely with the other reviewer in that a loyalty card makes it seem even more fantastic to get such wonderful food with 20% off. But its never about the cost here, the quality of the dishes is just superb. And not forgetting the third member of the team there, Ali, who continually ensures that the food is to die for. Guys, keep up the great work as you do deserve such reviews and is no surprise that I`m even eating there again tonight, can`t wait..........many thanks Gary & Lisa (Cosby)

I used to use this Indian a lot but it went drastically downhill so when I saw it was under new management I leaped at the chance to give it a go, looking at the previous reviews I thought I was in safe hands, how wrong could I have been. The poppadum's were greasy, I don't usually have them, I realise why and the starters were pre bought and out of the freezer. The mains were tandoori chicken, only reason it got 2 stars and one chicken dansak and one chicken jalfrezi, fairly standard curry dishes one would have thought. The dansak was watery, bland, no spice, no kick and the chicken was sparse as well. The jalfrezi was equally disappointing, I thought it was a vegetarian dish at first, it was full and I mean full of peppers and onions, a couple of chillies and some small pieces of chicken.I did complain, they offered me free sweets, errr thanks but no thanks.It's normal Indian prices but not normal quality or taste.Shame, won't be back, until it's under new management.

Visited here for the second time under the new management, branding and name of "bangla spice". Upon both visits I felt that the restaurant has taken a step backwards. The service was "ok" at best, the food had taken a turn to be another plain/bland Indian. Prices seem to be fairly good and they over a very well thought out "specials menu".

The first thing to say is that the restaurant is not in Leicester but Cosby. Surely TripAdvisor can get this right?Went with a friend who is now living 200 yards away - he has really fallen on his feet as this was an excellent meal at a really attractive venue. Well spiced, good size quantities and food of very high quality with some very unusual dishes on the menu.I will certainly return as I enjoyed it so much. It isn't cheap but the quality is such that I think it is worth it.

Now at the weekend they do a special meal. An authentic Bangladeshi meal like they would eat at home. Some times referred to as ' the staff curry". Taste the real food.

Have just had our family Christmas get-together at the Bangla Spice and I was so impressed with every single aspect of the evening - apart from great company - the food was possibly the best Indian I have ever had - great poppadums with the best pickle tray ever, amazing main courses - all different and all thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, lovely dessert and faultless, friendly service - nothing was too much trouble - cant thank you enough - Brilliant place!!! :-) We'll definitely be back and its the other side of town to where we live!! Say no more!!!

This was the second time we had visited this restaurant. Slightly out of the way but well worth the trip. This is now on my top 5 Indian restaurant s. Set in a pub the food is great, the staff were great. 4 of our party ate meat, and the other 2 vegetarians. We all are food fanatics, could not fault anything so we all said 5 star.Just give this place a try.

Well I thought I would give it a go after hearing mixed reviews of the restaurant since it was taken over. On arrival we ordered our drinks which arrived at our table, unfortunately all the beer gasps to be sent back as it was 'off' and my white wine looked like dish water so that went back too. The barman tried to tell me it was 'blush' but there was nothing blush about it. We had to have all our drinks changed, the beer went back again so the gents changed to another drink which was fine. My main complaint was the attitude of the waiter which stank, he was rude and completely incompetent. In the end I asked for the manager and explained, he seemed to already know about the issue and he changed our waiter which was much better. If someone cannot communicate and is rude there not suitable to be a waiter! Our food was ok nothing special and we felt a lot more expensive than the original restaurant.Really shame as its local, but will go elsewhere.

eaten in four times and four takeaways since its changed management. everytime we have been very pleased. it has been seriously hard to find a consistent curry house in south leics. but the chef here is really superb and nothing is too much trouble, even if off menu. bangla spice is a new restaurant with new menu, management and staff it is a world away from the truly awful bangla lodge we had in the village for the last 6-7 years. in my view a completely new name might have been sensible to rid any confusion with customers who had been disappointed with an indian restaurant in Cosby called bangla something, anyway 5 stars all round for quality ingredient's and freshly cooked authentic indian food, long may it continue.

We had an evening with friends at the Bangla spice and I can honestly say it was faultless, the food was delicious and the service was spot on, the staff were friendly and attentive, the wine and drinks list was extensive and the whole evening was great value for the money, I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation and we will definitely be returning.

First time at Bangla Spice and was pleasantly surprised after not expecting much other than usual curry. We (7of us) were all very happy with our food an the wide selection of drinks. The staff were attentive and very friendly and we all had an excellent time. Bill was £122 no starters just poppadoms and pickles with mains , rice, naans and all our drinks .Will be back.

went for a meal to benefit from the offer of a 30% discount, restaurant is nicely laid out, we were seated upstairs and were soon served drinks and poppadum's, ordered our food. The starters took quite some time to arrive, we did have to ask where they had got too, to be fair as soon as we asked they did appear, presentation was lovely although the portions were a little tight.Main course arrived and if I had to offer any tip it would be order something with some spice, I ordered a lamb, dish with Keeme rice and Nan and although nice it was very very bland.portions were OK, but could be slightly larger.My first impressions would be there are better alternatives around

Having lived in Cosby for 19 years we were really excited when Bangla Lodge opened, but really disappointed on the 3 occasions we ate in the restaurant.We had a letter posted through the letterbox saying that the restaurant had re-opened under new management and now called Bangla Spice, we don't usually eat takeaways but thought we would give it a go, we were really impressed.So we thought we would give the restaurant another go, we had a lovely meal there on Sat 15 August with family and were again really impressed, on arrival we were greeted by the friendly staff and offered the choice of either having a drink first or going to the table, we went straight to the table on this occasion.The food was really well presented, we all had different dishes and found all the dishes very tasty, we will certainly be returning as it's great to be able to walk into the village rather than having to drive for a good curry.

We recently went to the Bangla Spice, under the new management. The service was excellent and the food was delicious, with great size portions. There were 5 of us dining and the owner gave us 20% off the food bill which was a nice touch and even better we were invited to the launch night of the new management. We went back this evening and enjoyed a fantastic freer meal. Would 100% recommend Bangla Spice!

Had a takeaway, it wasn't horrible but it wasn't that nice. I probably wouldn't visit again. It tastes like something I would cook and I am not a great cook.Like I said was just very average

Many years since my last visit, but working locally I'd heard nothing but good things & I wasn't disappointed! Beautifully decorated. White table linen & tasty, well presented food at a great price. There were a few little things that niggled me, just attention to detail - place settings were not all complete, a glass given to a lady near us for her soft drink was less than sparkling, so much so that I was willing her not to use it, she did! My coffee cup handle had a huge chip and was cracked right across. The coffee was as good as ever though. If it's been a while since your last visit I would highly recommend giving it a try.
