Bangla in North Down

It has such a lovely atmosphere. Staff are so good. Very friendly and attentive. The food is to die for. Really great. They advise and explain every dish if your not sure. So polite. The place is spotless. Gives you confidence. Yummy !!!

Excellent quality food and very fast delivery!

Normally great food but this time a couple of the curries has spilled out of their containers and the poppadoms were smashed to pieces, so it was all a bit of a mess.

Food was quite poor unfortunately. It was pretty dead mid-week but really that should’ve meant better service. Premium prices suggest food should’ve been better quality but it didn’t even meet the taste of a cheap and cheerful Indian.

20 mins late and some of order missing.

As a Curry conessuir hailing from Birmingham I was delighted to stumble across this Gem in Bangor a couple of weeks back. We recieved a warm greeting and was shown to our seats. I noted the place was spotlessly clean with gleaming glass and tableware. A pleasant volume of Indian music was playing. And the decor although garish added to the expierience and authenticity. Our drinks orders taken within seconds poppadoms arrived. I perused the Menu. Slightly disappointed that some of the hotter variants that are found around Birmingham ( Chicken tikka Tawa) were not on the menu, I was delighted to see my favourite starter King prawn bhuna on puri which arrived cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. For main I settled for Chicken tikka massage with Pilau rice and a Peshawari naan. I have to say it was heavenly. The portion was huge but I ate it all because to waste any would be a crime. I left, feeling stuffed and extremely satisfied.

The order arrived early and the food quality was very nice however unfortunately the order was incorrect which was very disappointing.

Really nice and earlier than expected!

Monday to Thursday set meal price is good value for tasty food A regular haunt.

Love a takeaway from The Bangla. Always first class

Very nice food, friendly service but normal main dish £17/18 without rice, small dish of rice is about £5, same for 1 Naan bread, same for a small soda. Kids dishes are small for £9, ended up being £100 for 2 adults and 2 kids without any beers etc.

Got a take away quite expensive but food was really good would definitely recommend

Excellent... food quality was very good.

Got Donna and chicken kebab dumped it,digusting you'd get better food from the council dump pure garbage

Always a pleasure dining here. The service and food is first class!

Curry tasted like the pan was burnt

Have used many times and is usually quite good but seems to have come off the boil recently. Tonight I had the worst onion bhajis I've ever tasted or even seen for that matter ...and the chicken wasn't the best either.

There was no pilau rice with the order.

Arrived late and only after calling the restaurant. Not hot. Just warm enough to eat. Such a shame as usually very good quality.

excellent service and excellent food as always

We are occasional customers at this restaurant (twice or three times a year) and I feel that I need to make a comment for your consideration - it's NOT a complaint - I would rather have made this comment directly to you but you don't list an email in your contact details. The food as always was EXCELLENT! BUT there was no beer or lager available - the waitress said that the liquor licence had not been renewed because it was very expensive to do so. She did offer that I could go to Asda and buy some bottles of lager - which is what I did BUT unchilled lager is not a great experience (glasses provided by the restaurant and no "corkage charge" added to the bill) There is NO mention on the restaurant website that you are unable to supply beer or lager and no invitation to "bring your own". Please, please think again and get a liquor licence - I really want this restaurant to stay open as a viable business but an Indian Restaurant that is unable to serve lager is a very dodgy economic prospect. Just an added thought - I don't know the cost of obtaining a liquor licence but I think it is about £600 - last night (a Thursday night not the busiest night of the week) - at least 6 bottles of Cobra lager - probably more - were brought in from Asda. You could have made at least £15 mark-up on that - multiply that by say 200 nights per year - that's £3000 Sorry - but no liquor licence for an Indian Restaurant is simply ECONOMIC MADNESS! Best wishes - I really hope your are still open for business for many years to come - the food is excellent

Ordered a chicken curry tonight it was like dirty dishwater with pieces of chicken in it worst I have had would not have expected this from Bangla won't be ordering again

Bangla is one of my favourite restaurants, and my favourite Indian restaurant in Northern Ireland definitely. The food and service are both consistently amazing every time I visit. There is always a great atmosphere, it is well priced, very clean, hygienic and a well set up restaurant. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Indian food!

Excellent as always. Bangla never disappoints!!

Fantastic delivery to compliment the fantastic food!

Should've known from the moment they answered the phone that this wasn't a great idea. Not blaming the girl who answered but overall impression was totally unprofessional. Constant loud laughing and chatter causing girl to laugh made it seem like they were all taking the mick. I actually had to ask if she was even talking to me. Ordered a couple of meals at 10£ each, asked for some kebab meat for my 2 German shepherds, 'was told they wouldn't just do meat! Everywhere else is happy to help in any way in they can but disgusted there was no attempt made to provide customer satisfaction from owners/chef. Got it delivered 'only to find they had charged us 10£ for a kebab (with no sauce or dressing) as a replacement for simply a few slices/portion of kebab meat.

Lovely dishes, also got the Saag Bhaji side dish, nice to see some different options. Staff were friendly and helpful!

Very nice restaurant and great service. Food was good. Price was £120 for four main meals, naan bread (3) and 2 cokes. We brought our own drink. £120 seems extortionate.

Lovely food but it was cold when I got it.

Still piping hot when delivered. Tasty as always.

Amazing as per usual. We had guests over and they really enjoyed their food. Thanks

Recommend to us by family who live locally, that’s always a good start. Nice restaurant, very efficient and friendly service. Good menu, nice variety of choices available and not too extensive. Both our dishes were fantastic, as they were described on the menu, freshly prepared and full of flavour. Sensible portion size. Thoroughly enjoyable experience, well worth a visit 10/10

Food was amazing. Fish starter was superb. Staff friendly Tight for space between tables. Clean throughout. Slightly on high Sid price wise. But you only get what you pay for

Excellent service and delicious food 😋

Only started goin back and it’s been great!!

Think this is quite an average curry house. The service wasn't friendly. We ordered the set menu and didn't get everything we ordered (vegetable side dish). Food was tasty but small portions for the amount you pay. In my opinion there are a lot better curry houses (Yaks, Green Chilli) in Bangor than this.

Took more than 40 minutes for delivery once we were informed by the restaurant that it was with the courier and on its way. Meals cold and chips freezing. Had to microwave everything. Very poor experience this time although this is out of character for this restaurant.

Very nice food with good service.

Visited on a Thursday night with the fam. Got the set meal special 1 starter and 1 main under £20. The set meal was a good portion plus rice/naan/salad included with main. The chicken pakora was delicious, crispy and well seasoned. Overall great service however a couple main dishes were extremely sweet. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Korma taste of honey or added sugar. The Sag Chicken, Monk Fish, Salmon Bhuna, pilau rice, and garlic naan were my family favorites. Staff was helpful explaining dishes and acommodated for dairy allergies and pescatarian. Also the poppadom and chuntey starter was sooooo good! First time trying both and didn't dissapoint.

Really enjoyed my meal, will order again from Bangla in the future.

Delicious from starter (poppadoms and pakoras). The honey murch chicken was a lovely about of sweetness with spice. And the naan was delicious too.

Unless you're eating in, don't bother ordering from here. Was my mothers birthday and I thought I'd get her an Indian, a man answered the phone and took our order. So i walked down through the storm and brought it home, it was the wrong order. First they forgot something and second they gave us wrong food, mine was fine but gave my mother the wrong dish. So we called up and complained, this time a lady answered and they apologized and said they'll get what's missing and the correct order to us asap (they said there would be extra money to pay). Over 40 minutes later it still hasn't arrived, so we called up and complained, man answered the phone (the man who took the original order) and was denying blame. At that moment as we were on the phone saying we wanted to just cancel it because it was taking too long (took over 40 mins) the delivery showed up, but we felt we should not be paying due to the wait to correct the order, the fact it was wrong in the first place. Then the man on the phone hungup as we were complaining. Just opened the order, they forgot a part of the tandoori chicken tikka shazlek. Didn't bother calling to complain as clearly the man on the phone didn't care about the previous complaint.

Excellent food and very quick delivery! Highly recommend this restaurant

Just love Bangla. Food is always superb. It's not the cheapest but we love it as a family

Had to call to see where the order was. Said they were very busy. But if they had just let me know it would’ve been better

Delicious! Will be ordering again soon. Thanks 😊

Excellent food and service even though it was a little late. Worth it

Highly recommend this resturaunt great food

Terrific food, and good service, well worth a visit if you are in Bangor and love a curry. It is a short walk up the main street from the seafront. (10 minutes)

Excellent food and very quick delivery

Excellent food pleasant environment friendly staff

Stopped in for lunch today. My wife and I both liked our food. We had chicken tikka mossalla with pilau rice, Lunch chicken korma with pilau rice, veg samosas and chicken pakora.

Called in early this evening (beginning of week) without booking a table. We were impressed how fresh and clean the empty restaurant looked - it has had a change of decor since the last time we visited. The tables were set with sparkling glassware and cutlery - it really looked as if care had been taken to prepare for the evening service. The staff in the Bangla have always been kind and friendly, some of them we have known for many years, and this evening we met a new server. We have visited the Bangla since the early days when it was the Ganges and our children were in high chairs, the eldest will be 30 soon - it's a tremendous achievement that this business is still going and still setting high standards. This evening my partner was encouraged to try a new dish from the one he orders habitually and a couple of other tweaks were suggested to our order - it was nice to have someone take the interest to make new recommendations. The food was delicious, full of flavour and fresh herbs. We really enjoyed everything about this experience, including the authentic music - just what we needed after a busy day. Many thanks to the chef, kitchen staff and the front of house team.

Very nice and friendly staff, delicious food and calm atmosphere. Went there with my wife for her birthday. We really enjoyed it.

Was very disappointed as have been here before and enjoyed. Dishes very bland and undercooked. Onions still crunchy and chickpeas too. Felt like we were being rushed through as we went at 6 and they were obviously waiting for main evening service.

Food was bland. No difference in taste between 2 difference mains. Had to ask again to vegetable side but this just half boiled potatoes with dusting of powder. This also had no flavour. Would not return and unable to understand why got best Indian in UK. As due to experience would not believe it. Plenty of better Indian restaurants in and around UK where had better food and service.

Lovely meal but had to return to collect pilau rice

We have never had a bad meal here. We have introduced so many friends to this place and it's their place of choice when they come to Bangor. Food is exceptional, the staff are wonderful and the place is so nice with a fab atmosphere. And it's a BYO..excellent!

A very pleasant restaurant with staff who are polite and attentive. Food is absolutely perfect.

Food arrived on time however it was not particularly warm.

Delicious food Piping hot and exactly as ordered thank you

The food was stone cold when it arrived so an absolute awful exoerience

Delivery girl with headphones was very nice! The food was great as usual! Always very consistent this place

One of my favourite Indians in north down

The service and delivery were as advertised. However, the quality of the food was not great. The sauces were very watery and lacked flavour, and the rice didn’t look or taste like proper pilau rice at all. It tasted like homemade curry from a jar. The naan bread was also very tough and hard. It was supposed to be peshwari naan and tasted nothing like it, so either they gave us a plain naan by accident or their peshwari has absolutely no flavour in it. Overall it was a very disappointing experience for an establishment billed as ‘award winning’.

Excellent food, great service and very authentic restaurant.

Good food but missing onion bhagee’s from the order on delivery.

Been here a few times and ill be honest and say i wasnt a fan. However the last 2 times I've been i have come away very happy. Good, good service and nice and quick i hate nothing more than waiting to get the food.

Delivery was over hr and half arrived cold when complained was told to heat it up then was offered free rice chips which where missing to begin with and nan to be sent up which then took another hr very disappointing

Got a carry out which was well cooked and very tasty. The staff were friendly. If I had a little complaint it would be the food was pretty expensive for Bangor. However, I will try a sit in very soon, and until then I would recommend.

Just call into the Bangla to collect a take-away order. Witnessed a waiter sneeze into his hands, wipe his hands on his trousers then proceed to carry plates of food to customers tables! When I got my food home I realised that some of my order was missing, grrr.

Food was amazing and delivered quickly, generous portions and delicious!

Really delicious authentic food. The flavours were just spot on. Prices are quite high but to be fair I was happy to pay as it was good food. Service I would say average but it’s obvious they try hard run off their feet

Myself and my wife had dinner here on our recent trip to Bangor. The food delicious and service excellent. Will definitely be back on our next trip. Highly recommended

Absolutely disgusting! Without doubt, the most disgusting Indian meal I have ever had delivered in my life! Time for another name change and location shift guys!

Extremely poor food! Nothing like the quality as before. We will never return!

First time ordering from Bangla. We found the food delicious, fresh and warm. Delivered early via just eat, which was a bonus. Best Indian food in Bangor, our new go to

Was worried as coming from belfast NuDehli is VERY hard to beat. Was simply superb. Very impressed all you need is some lamb cutlets

Order arrived late & all the food was cold I had to reheat in the microwave & it wasn’t enjoyable at all

The food was gorgeous but freezing cold so disappointing after spending £26 for dinner for 2

Food was freezing when it arrived. Very disappointed as we order often from here.

Nicest Indian we have had in a long time! Amazing thank you!

My favourite Indian in Bangor. Always delicious

Good food, helpful staff, great atmosphere, we will definitely be back!

Quiet time Tuesday night but food and service great as ever

Food tasted lovely but lukewarm which was disappointing

I have had delivery's for about 2to3 years and tonight again first class.

Ordered tikka masala received chilli masala.

Food was amazing and the lamb jalfrezi had tons of lamb!!!

Arrived late so it was cold. The curry was very watery and didn't taste like it was supposed to.

It is now two hours since I have ordered my food. I called the restaurant an hour ago asking where it was and was told that it had left the restaurant. I called back 40 minutes after this, to ask why it had still not been delivered, and was told that it had still not left the shop. As of yet, it has still not arrived.

The madras was excellent - just the right amount of spice and burn. I would order here again any day of the week, big thumbs up from me :)

Food was delicious amazing well prepared will highly recommend

Unfortunately I had to heat the food in the microwave because it was cold. Tasty like always.

Due to delay in delivery meals were not hot when arrived. Part of order missing- only 1 of the 2 nan breads ordered were delivered

My first time ordering from Bangla, food was really good. We would definitely order again.

Delicious food from the Bangla, as always.

20 mins late. Disappointing, need to ensure timings are adjusted when customers are ordering. No apologies.

WOW……without a doubt, THE NICEST Indian cuisine I’ve EVER had. Wish I’d come here earlier in my visit to Bangor, as I’d have come back again!! If I could give 6 stars I would

I would highly recommend bangla for dining in and take out, they provide amazing customer service, their food is delicious and they are very reasonably priced. The restaurant area is spacious with a relaxing atmosphere and is child friendly! Thank you to the staff for the amazing and fast service!
