Bengal Brasserie in Kirklees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Came with family on Saturday night and easy to turn up and get a table. Food was really good, lovely flavours and tender chicken. Service was really good and would come again.

Very poor experience, ordered 2 main courses 1 meat spinach, 1 fish, tasted fish curry and wasnt fish, asked owner and he said he must have written it down wrong he didnt ven examine the dish, no offer to change curry, I assume they had no fish? When it came to the bill the "fish" curry was full price, I questioned this and owner said he would knock £5 off as we had eaten some.. we tasted 1 spoon each (2 of us)then left it. I can see why on Saturday at 9.30 no one else was in the curry house and the other Brighouse curry house Royal Delhi was full.. Avoid at all costs.

Very poor quality, and certainly would not return. The mixed starter was poor, chewy meat, the texture was like gristle, told the staff, but nothing changed!! Would have been happy with a replacement but nothing offered!! The main was disappointing, very chewy hard chicken. All in all, not a good experience.

Delicious meal and very good service. It's just a little outside the main town and may be missed but I'd recommend giving it a try.

First time for us at this curry house. Will certainly be going back. Had a mixed starter (Kebab x 2 and onion bhaji) all great, would get again. Tarka daal and chicken dhansak for mains with a peshwari naan, the daal was spot on (one of the best we have had). Dhansak just right, not a massive portion but any more would have been wasted on us. Lots of sauce, better than not enough!! All in all a lovely meal at £23 for the two of us. Will certainly be back to try more of the menu.

Tried a takeaway recently as not had a takeaway from here for a couple of years. Onion bhajis are GORGEOUS! Chicken pakoras nice. My husband's curry tasted lovely but could do with more meat as lots of sauce. Will definitely have a takeaway again from here.

After 20 loyal years here we have loved the food quality, but all our takeaways in 2022 were below average. The rich thick aromatic curry sauses have been switch to industrial bland soup and the once thick with onion and tomato balti is now just a sause with chicken thrown in. Worse still we have had 6 different curry now over the last 4 visits and all my family said they were way too salty.

Ordered Channa masala and got a meat chicken something and nann breads which we didn't order but got charged for , not going back , check your order when purchasing

Ordered chicken korma, rice and naan for delivery. The korma was nice, large portion and served very hot. It was delivered within 45 minutes and 5 minutes before the time stated on just eat. Food nice but not outstanding there are better curries in Brighouse.

The lady who showed us to our table and served us was the nicest person ever! She made us feel really welcome and at ease and even recommended some dishes to make sure we get the best experience possible. The food itself was amazing and we loved it to bits, but the highlight of the thing was the service we received,especially our waitress (sorry forgot your name but thank you for your excellent service!) :) Izabela & alex

Ordered food on Just Eat app at 7pm . Delivery time said 9-15pm . 10pm still not arrived , could not get through on the phone just kept ringing .Eventually arrived at 11pm when I was in bed so I refused the order . I’m a key worker and I’ve had an horrendous day at work and was looking forward to nice meal .

I see some positive reviews on here and wonder if these people were hypnotised. It was poor. Wanted to go to the Royal Delhi, but it was full and at least 20 people queueing, do gave this place a try. Barely three full tables on a Satur6dsy at 8pm; this should have rung alarm bells, but we persevered. Friendly staff and efficient service, just terrible food. Gloopy, unappealing starters and mains. Unsure how it keeps going - probably drunken people staggering out of the Calder, having lost their tastebuds. Wont be back!

The food was very good but I suspect we ate too late as the place was full of yobs. Lots of swearing and shouting. The staff were obviously used to this and seamed oblivious to it. It was a real shame as the food was lovely the staff friendly and attentive. We will probably go again but not as late, 21.30 seemed to be the witching hour. Have a go, but go early.

Let down by another restaurant we had to find somewhere in a hurry. The staff were very welcoming and attentive to our needs. The food was wonderful, very tasty and we had a lovely time.

Eight of us went and we’re welcomed without a booking - a positive start. Staff polite and friendly. We had a variety of starters and main dishes between us. None of the main meals hit the spot. At best this was below average. We will not be revisiting in the future.

Tried many dishes on the menu always tastes great. Definately recommend and the staff are friendly. Always keep going back.

The curry is superb.Clean place and very friendly staff.I always have fish curry yummy.Thanks guys for a fab night

My favourite curries are fish curries and this restaurant does some really good ones. It's not a big restaurant but the food is first-class.

Went here with my daughter early on a Saturday, place was very quiet and now I know why.This was probably the worst curry I have ever had in my life. It was horrible.Service was good and staff attentive but that can't make up for the bad food. The Shami Kebab I had was like a dried out beefburger, dry and not at all tasty. I can't remember the name of the curry but I wouldn't want to.My wife was polite and said she didn't like it very muchAnd, it wasn't particularly cheap either.I hope never to go back.

Needed some food on a Friday evening in Brighouse and this place was recommended, so we called in.I ordered the first entry on the menu which was three mini curries (fish, chicken & lamb) and it was excellent.It was relatively quiet, but the food, service & pricing were all very good.

Visited last night.absolutely gorgeous food.couldnt find fault.there was so much food couldn't eat it all.they boxed it up for us to take home.staff very welcoming and friendly.didnt feel rushed at all.lovely atmosphere.lovely surroundings.definately will be back.

Good service, good food and nice surroundings. Tee time meal and busy which is a good sign, will definitely visit again.

Came here on Saturday 23rd Dec for friends gathering before Christmas. Staff really friendly and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. Just a shame there was only 6 of us and another couple. Food was delicious and tasty. Prices reasonable. Will definitely be back.

A group of 7 friends dined here this evening on my recommendation and all enjoyed it, which is a relief as there are mixed reviews on trip advisor.

i love curries but this place takes 5 stars for the worst food ever. they do not use spice in anything, the starters are like eating plain mince meat shaped like a flat burger or a sausage, that's what it is like eating these starters, the onion bhaji's were full of grease, salad is not fresh, the cucumber was yellow, ordered a lamb balti and a chicken balti which again had no spice or kick to it, but these were balti's were nothing like what you would expect, it's like they throw anything in and call it what they want, this food was awful , truly it was, i have had spicier pot noodles than the rubbish they sold us, i will never order from here again, it is that bad.

La peor experiencia para comer fuera bastante tiempo en todos los sentidos. La comida era terrible, no hasta el nivel esperado o conocido previamente en el restaurante. Todas las comidas eran sosas, falta ordenados y especias y sabores. Cuando este fue traído a la atención del Director era claro que la opinión de los clientes no era ni quería o apreciado. Nuestras quejas fueron atendidas con desdén y la única explicación ofrecida por el director era; 'bien es no Bradford" Brighouse sugiriendo que la gente de brighouse merecen un diferente nivel de cocina en otras zonas. Exasperante y ridículo! Nunca me he encontrado personal más brusca o peor comida. Mi consejo sería que, sin duda, no volveremos.

Scoured the internet. Glad this place popped up because it came super speedy hot and very tasty. We had all vegetarian. Highly recommended. Fabulous Chana masala.

Utilizamos este para llevar muchos años y no tienen nada malo que decir sobre ellos. Por desgracia, estamos seguros de por qué, empezaron a ir cuesta abajo, el curry se convirtió en peor y peor ordenados, hasta que por desgracia era ineable! La carne, que era supuestamente pollo, estaba lejos de todo! Porque comer curry Madras caliente, algunos lugares creo que no será notado si la carne pobre me gustaría sirve, creo que es por desgracia fue el caso con nuestro favorito para llevar parecía nos sirven de rata o algún animal, muy molesto experiencia! Cuando nos llamó para decir cortésmente que nos insatisfecho, mi marido estaba tratado tan grosera que hemos tenido más remedio que nunca a este lugar. Nos revienta sobre el trato increíble de algunos clientes muy leales. Espero tratar u futuro leales clientes con más respeto de Bengala, y también, más importante, el uso de productos cárnicos de calidad en identificable futuro! ! ! !

Had a fantastic meal and the service was excellent. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Will be going for our Christmas works do .

Service was friendly everything was nice until we had the madras wasn't nice at all,it was bland and very watery the taste consisted of a sweet sugars taste to a very chilli kick,i like spicy food but this wasn't pleasurable to eat, but the staff was kind enough to remove off the bill.

Had many a takeaway from here used to be good last couple been shocking .... Over cooked burned stater why send burnt food and the curry was worse ever and the chapatis wow just broke up when you picked them up Won't be using again my wife's cooking is poor but yours beats it by a mile .....

Hemos estado muchas veces la comida es excelente y el personal es genial, nunca he tenido una mala comida que han sido recientemente para el martes noche early bird precio excelente.

We visited again last week for a curry.The staff were friendly, the food was delicious I had the Chicken Tikka Pathia was on of the best i've had.We have been several times and have always enjoyed it.

The food is great the service is good and the price you pay Is fad.The food tast as if you were in India and the staff look after all you needs the restaurant is clan and I can tell you if you have the tack away you will not be disapointed as the food is just as good when delivered

Could of cooked better at home myself, real disappointing. Go to anisas in hipperholme instead!! Wish I had!!

What can i say about this place. Its just NOT good. Arrogant and rude staff!! Don't know why we bothered going there all the way from Huddersfield? The waiter who served us very rude indeed, deffenitely had attitude problems. Ok it was a little late but why let us in and then show the attitudes? The starters was good I must also say this. The mains were rubbish, all tastes same. Over all it was a bad experience. Avoid!!! Avoid!!!

Went to this place on a saturday night. Looks like a takeout from outside but its a restaurant. Interior is good and clean but the food and service was appalling!!! The waiters were confused, lacking in experience. They were too interested in the takeout side of things and not indoor customers. We saw another table getting frustrated aswell. Food is very bland, all curries were same more or less. Would not reccomend it all!!!!

The Bengal Brasserie is ok if your wanting a cheap curry as you can get four courses for £10. However if your wanting something different with plenty of herbs and spices then I would not recommend this restaurant. The curries are quite plain and seem to lack in flavour. I could imagine that most of their trade comes from people who have been out and had a few drinks and want some food at the end of the night.

The service was fab and quick, but the food was just plain.It was nice but there was just nothing special, not enough to bring me back again for a second time.

Have tried this place on and off for 6 years or so, unfortunately for us the curry just lacks something, always seems to taste bland like its missing certain spices. The place is very nice and the staff are wonderful it's a shame we just don't like the food.

I've been eating Indian food for over thirty years. From the curry mile in Manchester, to sampling Bradfords delights. Although I appreciate there are different styles of Indian cooking dependant of where in India the dish evolved. ..and.... Western Indian cooking is very different from food you would sample in India...however, I have never tasted such a bland, tasteless offering than what we ate tonight. The sauce had no depth and no heat. Even though one dish was supposed to be medium hot ( it was milder than the average medium). The sauce tasted like it had been boiled up 30 mins before service. Yes you want a freshly prepared dish. But the base sauce should have depth and surely that takes time as well as spice to create. Also all three dishes we ordered tasted very similar. The base sauce had clearly been used in all and not adapted much in either. By far the most disappointing Indian meal I have ever tried, and to me an insult to the English palate.

Looking for something to eat so put Indian restaurants in the sat nav.This was the nearest so decided to give it a go.Best decision we have made in a long time.The food here is amazing and as good as I have had anywhere in the UKThe staff are really friendly and can't do enough for you.Had starters, main and drinks for under £35 which is excellent value for money.Wish we lived nearer as we would be back again and again.If you need a curry you can't do any better than this place.Many thanks for a great night

We have discovered this restaurant, lovely curries, the staff are lovely, chatty and helpful we try and come here each time we go north. Always have a nice experience here.

I've eaten 'curries' all over the UK and beyond for the past 30 years and can honestly say that the food and service in this restaurant were second to none this evening - will definitely be back there next time I'm anywhere near Yorkshire! Tried the first item on their 'house specials' menu - a combo of fish, chicken and lamb - came with perfect rice and amazing freshly made Naan - all just over £10.

We have had both take aways and eaten in the restaurant. Very good quality food with staff very helpful and friendly. Authentic home made tasting curry with lots of fresh tasting spices and large portions. Good value for money. I don't understand the poor reviews. First of all this place is in brighouse not huddersfield . To us it is possibly the best curry house around. It has won good food rewards in the past

I had a chicken tikka masala delivered. At first I thought it was confused with a korma. Rung up to complain to be gold this was their curry! Also had chicken pakora - also disgusting

Not sure why the other reviews are so poor! Had two curries and a starter with all the sides and a couple of beers and its was only £30 for the two of us. It was early on a Saturday night so it was a little quiet in there but that didn't matter. Service was good, I knocked over and broke a pint glass and they were great! Honestly a lovely little place.

I ordered take away from here (to share with family) as I was craving something spicy, and didnt get anything of the sort. All up i ordered 1 lamb vindaloo (supposedly one of the hottest curries), 1 chicken Balti and 1 lamb korma (a mild curry) along with a garlic naan and a few plain ones.The naan - the garlic one had no noticeable garlic taste so it could have been a plain one for all I knew (none of the others had flavour either) and was average. Lamb korma - this was not a korma... I dont know what they put in it but it was a thick (gluggy) yellowish colour that tasted more like oranges than a korma. It had minimal flavour and the lamb was questionable on whether or not it should be eaten. Chicken Balti - this was OK. Not much flavour to it either though . Was put off slightly by the fact that although there was no flavour under the sauce, the chicken was a nasty green colour (am hoping this was just the marinade! !!)Lamb vindaloo - this was not a vindaloo either. It was a pile of red mush (not spicy) with 5 small scattered pieces of lamb and one half of a potato. Overall I did not enjoy the meal and won't be returning.

Got take away from this place as sadly Hussain's in Brighouse has now closed :( all dishes were sweet? No distinct or different tastes? All very bland! Aimed at the McDonald's crowd. No spices added &no garlic or chilli???I make a better curry myself, wont be using again, curry restaurant/take away? Should be done under the trades description act!!! Diabolical.

First time visit with family from jersey , we had the mixed starter which was very good for the main I had chicken bhuna hot which was ok the wife had lamb madras brother had chicken pathia they were ok but everybody said the sauce was similar,service was good the bill reasonable

early bird menu best value in brighouse great choice and unbelievable value can be a little to the European palette so ask for asian style also great service from all the staff

I have passed this restaurant many times, but never called in, until the other night. We were out with friends in Brighouse and as we were all hungry, someone suggested the Bengal Brasserie, and I'm so glad they did. I have to be honest, I'm picky when it comes to Indian restaurants as I've had so many bad experiences in the past. I need not have worried, this one has been put on my 'Must go again' list. The outside gives you no idea what a little gem this restaurant is. The atmosphere is welcoming as are the staff, who are also efficient and friendly. Our meal proved to be very tasty with none of the nasty side effects such as a burning mouth, but full of flavour and plenty of it. We all agreed the meal was excellent and great value for money.I have since heard that the Bengal has been there for years! Well it might have taken me a while to find it, but it's now definitely on my list of great curry houses.

Was in Brighouse last night with the missus and thought we'd try out this Indian restaurant. Noticed they had a 4 course meal on for £9.95 so we gave that a go. Although I was a bit sceptical at first, the food was very good and the size was very generous.Would definitely recommend. Oh, and I picked up a £10 voucher for next time!

this place had been recommended,but as we consider our self's good judges of Asian area cuisine and have been educating our taste buds for more than 40 years and traveled the world extensively, our mindset was such that we,ve not considered any where in these parts but Bradford BUT IT JUST GOES TO SHOW ONE SHOULD KEEP AN OPEN MIND!the quality , innovation and freshness presented our taste buds with a wonderful experience, i would point out we made several return visits to ensure consistency before i wrote this review . TIP try a dish that you would not normally order to avoid direct comparison

Visited Bengal Brasserie recently after long time, the food and service has gone down a lot since our last visit. There has been change of staff and food. At first we used to love going to the local Bengal with good food and services but in recent time, may be within last year it has gone down a lot. The starters were ok but the mains were disappointing, the service by all staff was extremely poor. we felt rushed, I know it was a little late but they rushed us like mad. If they wanted to close then they should have simply told us so instead of rushing us. The bill was served to us before we could even finish eating.

i would have given this a 5 star rating except i have reservations about the quality of meat. The sauce, the breads, the poppadoms and the pickle tray were excellent as was the service and the restaurant itself. Whether this was because i opted for the thursday £10 3 COURSE DEAL or not i dont know.Perhaps i should report back when ive eaten from the standard menu!

absolutly love this restaurant - its small and cosy. priced very well and the quality of food is fab. espesially the onion barjii...... mmmm

4 of us visited on a Saturday night, there was only 2 couples seated in the restaurant which should have raised alarm bells but having visited before we thought we were still in for a treat, how wrong we were! Ordered 4 cokes which were charged at £2.50 each and they came from a multi pack so must have paid for enough coke to keep them going a while! The main courses were all bland and tasteless and all four separate dishes tasted the same! Very disappointed, informed management about the issues and he seem neither surprised or bothered. There are lots of other eateries in Brighouse try one of those until this place sorts it act out.

Fanastic meals and the breads they make there are exceptional.Licensed too, does take away, takes credit card and occasionally advertises a discount voucher in local paper. The chef is good and not scared of adding or mixing dishes on request.Mixed meat dishes for example not on the menu but available on asking. Garlic fried rice, Cheese and Garlic Naan and Garlic base curry - fantastic value, big portions, well flavoured - but no way mad hot.

Good selection of dishes with friendly serivce, try the specials

Love the food, service good but on several occasions felt rushed. Would love the restaurant to have more atmosphere as I feel this is all the Bengal is lacking.

Bengal is a great place to visit. The front house guys made us very welcome. Great service. Food was excellent Chicken Vindoloo was superb. Chicken Azam Mungal was the best, it consist of 3 dishes. Naan was great aswell. Over all a great experience.

Situated on Huddersfield Road in Brighouse opposite Sainsbury’s, you could easily and incorrectly assume that it’s nothing more than a takeaway from street view. The brasserie hasn’t got what estate agents call curbside appeal. However, put that to one side and venture through the door and the Bengal Brasserie is positively tardis like.Walk through the door and you’re into the small comfortable reception area with seating and finger nibbles on the tables. Next to this is the compact bar with plenty of selection of alcohol and soft drinks. The rest of the brasserie and I do mean the rest, is laid out for diners with a very unusual ceiling. The ceiling looks more like the hull of several ships moored to one another...very different but nor does it make you feel claustrophobic.We were warmly welcomed by Ali Turab who has been the Bengal’s manager for 5 years and it is always pleasant to see that the welcome offered isn’t simply because we were there to review the restaurant. We saw the same enthusiastic welcome extended to other diners.Monday night in Brighouse, the day we went to carry out the review, was ghost-town like with even Sainsbury’s car park looking empty at 7pm. It therefore came as no surprise that for the majority of the evening Brighouse remained quiet and as a result, so did the brasserie. We’re certainly not going to judge the restaurants’ popularity on what was a very quiet night for the entire town. There was a steady stream of customers but as Ali confirmed, Monday us usually their very quiet night.So let us leave the quiet behind us and concentrate on the food. The short version is this, if you like Indian food and are hungry come in and be well fed. If you’re a small eater then prepare yourself to take home the venerable doggy bag. For those that know me I’m the former but even I was outpaced by the quantity.So often you can judge value for money only by quantity with quality taking a back seat. Certainly what Nikki and I ordered Ali and his team seem to have found that elusive balance between value whilst offering more than generous portions. For example, recently I ate at an Indian restaurant in Swansea. Typically for a main course I choose a lamb dish but in the Swansea restaurant it had the texture of an old leather shoe...horrid. The chefs at the Bengal Brasserie though cooked two lamb dishes to utter melt-in-your-mouth perfection and restored my faith. Some people just don’t know how to get it right whilst other make it appear effortless.Our starters consisted of the Royal mix kebab and 2 Samosas. Both were delightfully flavoured, piping hot and left us talking enthusiastically and waiting expectantly for our main course. For our main course we ordered the Mughal E Azam, three curries cooked separately and Nikki had the Makhani King Prawn with both dishes including pilau rice and the Mughal also with a naan. When they arrived shocked wasn’t even close to how we felt. The Mughal was in fact three full sized curries, I was expecting taste tickling sized portions, but no. Nikki’s Makhani arrived in what looked like a medium sized lasagne dish, piping hot and sprinkled lightly with cheese. Again, for one portion it was a large portion.It will come as no surprise then that we skipped dessert. We had a coffee, loosened our belts, heaved a contented sigh of relief, thanked out generous hosts and waddled out of the restaurant with our doggy bag in hand. It was at this point that we were thankful that Brighouse was quiet otherwise we could have been given grief for how we walked/waddled back to the car!For you lucky Brighouse residents, the Bengal Brasserie is open 7 days a week, does a takeaway service and will deliver for free on order over £12 within three miles.And if we awarded stars out of 5 I’d award 4 for the restaurant and I’d be taking the last one home in a doggy bag.
