Bengal Brasserie - Hither Green in Lewisham

A hidden gem, lovely food, very welcoming and all at a very reasonable price too. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Order on uber eats and waited a hour and 20 minutes for my order only to have it be cancelled it would have been nice to have been informed by phone as to why as if you are going to cancel at lest don't let it be a hour in the order before you do so as I would of been able to go somewhere else if it was done before that but no so now I am left with nothing much to choose from thanks. Updated sorry b

My wife and I tried this restaurant recently. The food was delicious, the prices are fair and the service was excellent. We will definitely use them again.

always delicious really enjoyed our meal ...1 tiny complaint didn't review bottle of lemonade apart from that I would highly recommend restaurant foods terrific...thank you

Regularly use this place, yet despite a booking going from 4 to 12, then 15 with notice and vouchers, no extra staff. I thought it was a car crash tbh. Food OK, regular size, but the 3.5 hour wait did my head in. We've decided a max of 4 from now on. Not impressed at all

Had a couple of great meals and a takeaway. Food was excellent and tasty. Service was good. Will definitely be going back again. Not very expensive.

food was good although tandoori king prawn was missing from my bengali bhujon meal but I would order again as food was good 👍

We enjoyed a fantastic meal there last night. We will definitely be returning. Staff are lovely too!

Really good food. Big portions, very generous.

We spend a lovely evening at Bengal Brasserie on Saturday night to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. The food was fantastic and the manager brought balloons to decorate the table specially. It was v thoughtful.

Food was very nice had a great meal here. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Would 100% reccomend for everyone to visit

Food was exquisite as always, but it was cold when it arrived and it was late by at least half an hour

EVERYONE NEEDS TO COME HERE!!! The food was delicious! It’s the perfect local restaurant to go to with friends and family, the staff are so friendly and welcoming! We will absolutely be coming here again!

Always excellent, great food and lovely service. Can’t go wrong

Ordered takeaway from this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The portions were adequate for the pricing, food was good, and service was wonderful. Special thank you to Ahmed at the reception area for taking care of us!

Our daughter just moved to Hither Green and was visiting, Bengal Brasserie is just round the corner so we have it a go so ordered a takeaway we were not disappointed all the dishes were excellent and the flavours were great, portions were good and the staff were really polite, would highly recommend this Indian and our daughter said it will be a regular place to go. Many thanks to all at the Bengal Brasserie.

Spur of the moment decision to go for dinner at this local restaurant. I had the chicken tikka massala with special rice and my partner went for chicken madras with peshwari nan and some vegetable side dishes. The food was delicious and very well presented especially the rice, which looked beautiful with colourful vegetables, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be going back.

It was one of the best Indian meals I have had. We were given a free main dish, which was delicious. House wine is very nice. We will definitely be using this restaurant a lot more.

The food at Bengal is not such good quality as it was. The sheek kebabs were tough and there was no sauce with them and these kebabs always come with sauce. The chicken curries were watery. It’s a shame because we have been using BB for a long time and visited the restaurant quite often.

Amazing evening with first class service, wonderful food & brilliant hospitality. Went yesterday with my partner, mum & step dad. We all agreed the food, experience and service was great. We highly recommend and will definitely be returning in the near future.

Our local Indian restaurant which we've used for about 2 years . In this time we have used the restaurant several times plus we've ordered numerous takeaway meals. The quality of the food and service both inside and for delivery is exceptional. The staff have just changed over and still a high standard and quality from this really lovely establishment. We highly recommend eating here. A big thumbs 👍🏻 up.

Food was lovely and delicious, hot and plentiful. Really nice attentive courteous staff. Very nice atmosphere, very clean and nicely decorated restaurant

I have been ordering for the past two years. Something happened to the food and is not the same. The korma is more watery and the meat feels dry. A real shame as it was our favourite Indian takeaway

Had a lovely evening with my family, host was very interactive and the food was top class. I’d really recommend this restaurant and prices are reasonable.

Fantastic service and wonderful quality of food very hospitable for families also. The food was delicious and came promptly as well as the quality being outstanding.

A really lovely restaurant. The staff are super nice and the food is really tasty and well made More people should use this restaurant, and I’m looking forward to going back!

The best Indian food I had in a long time! Great food, service is impeccable, you are literally treated like a king! Highly recommend!

This is probably one of the best Indian restaurants ever! The food was delicious and the service was quality! This is definitely the BEST Indian restaurant in London. I can’t wait to come back to the restaurant. Thanks to everyone at Bengal Brasserie!

I always enjoy the food in this eaterie, I travel 8 miles in order to get there. I have recommended this establishment to various family members and friends. They cater for any allergy, size of group etc

This lovely restaurant is on a quiet back road what a gem 💎 the waiter was lovely the manager was very friendly what a nice evening the food what's very tasty will definitely recommend the manager even gave us complimentary drinks

Amazing service and amazing food. Really attentive to our needs and the food tasted fantastic. Definitely somewhere I’d go again! 18.02.24: My second time coming after such a fantastic first experience! Once again I’m extremely satisfied and impressed! I would definitely recommend the Lamb Rogan and mango lassi! Staff are so friendly honestly cannot recommend this place enough! Manager was extremely kind. Such a cosy and calm vibe. An absolute hidden gem will be coming here very frequently now!

Been getting curry’s from here for years and it’s delicious! Especially the lamb Cylon and the Madras which we get with a little added heat!

Lovely setting, attentive service, fantastic food. Deliciously blended able to taste all the spices. Highly recommended.

Great place to eat. Recently refurbished. Improved dessert menu.

I recommend this restaurant to everyone and will definitely be visiting again! One of, if not the best restaurant in South London. The service was superb and the food was fantastic. Amazing experience all round.

What a lovely meal we had this evening made very welcome and the food was well presented is definitely one of our favourite curry restaurants

The good service is very noticeable . The food worth 5 stars . The prices are very reasonable. We keep coming back

Lovely as always. Food fantastic, decor is new and is bright and cheery and welcoming. Also, VERY welcoming and helpful to those of us who have access issues (or spouses with them)

Lovely restaurant with tasty food and quality service

Always a good meal and great service. Very nice new owner

Want a wonderful place to come for a meal . The staff are so attentive , they just aim to please . You feel special . The food is great and the service special . We come back time and time again . It’s our go to place

Amazing service, very reasonably priced and tasty food.

That's the last time. I don't know if they have changed the chef, or cooking practices, but the last 3 orders from here have been dreadful. It used to be full of flavour and succulent. Now its bland and tasteless and very oily. For a 16 quid curry, it needs to be good, and this just isnt. Real shame and i will not be ordering from here again

Highly recommend this restaurant. Food delicious and wonderful staff.

Gave this a try on Uber eats due to good reviews. Not sure if the chef had an off day, but none of the food seemed to have been seasoned and all tasted very bland. Fried rice was also burnt. Unfortunately this was by quite some distance the most disappointing food me and my partner have had in southeast London.

A fantastic takeaway and restaurant business. Friendly customer service and excellent food. My family have been takeaway customers for many years. There is a good website ordering service for either delivery or collection.

Tried many takeaway curries in the local area, but I can safely say this was easily the best of the lot. Will now be our go-to for the future. Absolutely fantastic.

Not really of what advertised. It says that they do buffet during the week but went there to find out it's only a la carte. Got charge for a tray of chutneys that I didn't order. I personally found it overpriced for the area. The service was appalling as the waiter keeps coming and ask if we have finished so that he can take empty dishes away. There are better Indian restaurants around. I personally do not recommend this place.

Really tasty dishes and good portion sizes. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food with perfect Bengali touch. Special mention to Machali Bengal which has all the Bengali essence and flavour in it. Good music and service. Overall we were extremely happy about choosing this one for our dinner date.

Food is absolutely amazing couldn't fault it, great service .staff and management couldn't be more accommodating.. fantastic

Excellent food, specials are beautiful. Thank you!

Very nice food it was brilliant. I recommend Bengal brasserie to all.

Indian Restaurant serving the "old favourites" plus many specials. This is one of the best Indian restaurants locally. The food is always freshly prepared, full of flavour and nicely cooked.

Hey this is the best Indian restaurant in Lewisham by far that I definitely recommend. I ordered egg rice, aloo gobi, saag paneer, tarka daal and cheese naan with a papadum as a side. It tasted spicy, exotic and delicious like it feels he cooked this with love and luxury. Thank you for the night Bengal Brasserie!

I had a great evening here! The vibe was very warm and the chicken tikka masala was amazingly good!!!

My first visit to the bengal, not much of a selection, but what they have was very tasty, and of good quality, prices are reasonable, I will definitely visit again, service was excellent I can recommend

Was lovely as the old management is changed. Try the lovely food with nice atmosphere.

Consistently excellent food! Great people and very well priced.

Very nice, fresh and tasty food. Good portions, definitely value for money.

Having regularly ordered from this place for a long time now, I was disappointed in the last order I received which gave me food poisoning. :( such a shame that their quality control seems to have gone down now. Sending out food that has gone off is not acceptable. Please do better. I’m not sure if I’ll order from them again.

We really enjoyed our meal, it was exceptional this time, and good news they are renewing their drinks license in a coue of weeks time.

Been here several times over the years and has always been excellent. Very tasty food with an excellent price point and friendly staff. Would recommend

After looking at the reviews I thought I’d give it a go and ordered via Ubereats but was very disappointed. The cauliflower bhaji had a funny smell, I’m assuming it was gone off. Also the peshwari nan had a citrusy taste which was odd and not nice at all. The curry had no taste at all.

Only tried as take away/home delivery. Food is delicious (chicken tandoori is exceptionally tender), the staff is friendly, and sometimes there is free papadum in the bag… love it.

Extremely friendly and the food was superb! Visiting in the area and sharing dinner from here with friends, the quality was great compared to others and the pricing was very reasonable. Thanks!

First visit and made to feel very welcome. Only a few people eating in, which was a shame as it's quite a large place, but it was doing well on takeaway and delivery so perhaps post-Covid people will venture back. Great food, and you can take your own alcohol for £6 corkage. Three meat dishes, three veg side dishes, two rice and one naan came in at about £44 and taking our own wine meant it was under £50 for good food that fed four people.

Lovely local restaurant, nicely decorated and serving quality food.

Excellent buffet style dinner for 20+ people. Service was excellent.

Very pleasant evening at the Bengal Brassiere. Very friendly staff, the lamb balti main dish was delightful

Been ordering from here for a while now and the food is good and tasty and only a couple of times have I had to warm it up because it has been cold but it’s delivery so you can expect that sometimes.me and the wife always order the lamb bhuna and the only criticism I’ve got is the last couple of times I’ve ordered it it’s been bland no kick it used to be a bit spicier which I prefer hopefully it will get back to normal standards soon.still the best around highly recommend it

Good fresh food at affordable prices with cheerful and attentive staff.

I would post 0 star but they don't have it... 1. The order was wrong. Forgot a pashwaree Nan. I ordered 2. 2. When called to ask about order MANAGER SYED had the audacity to be rude. Hung up on me. Whilst I was trying to explain.. 3. Made it seem like it was our problem, that they had no drivers and that they got the order wrong... They are in hither green and we are in blackheath. Could've been achievable.. 4. Verbal stated they would refund us but then told us to complain to just eat... No apology. No attempt to rectify 5. The food was absolute garbage and cold. Not worth the hassle. Please don't eat there.

great flavours and generous portions. Staff were very friendly.

Definitely recommend this food good tasting at a good price

Quality food, good service. Take your own drink as no licence.

1st time I've ordered here and won't be the last!! Food was on time, it was hot, and they don't give you 2 or 3 pieces of chicken with loads of sauce, and the chicken tikka was spot on, used 2 naans to dip up the bengal garlic chicken, yum, highly recommend 👍

We found this little heaven in lockdown & a friend recommendation. Now we are doing the same, you won’t regret eating anything on the menu it’s lovely. All staff are very accommodating and friendly. Thank you Bengal :)

Delicious food and very quick service and really generous portions. Best Indian restaurant in the area and would really recommend.

Consistently delicious food. Best thing we have ordered all year in lockdown and have now had Bengal Brassarie multiple times. Always yummy, big portions and some huge variety of dishes you don't get that often. A real treat, yum yum yum.

One of a couple known favourite spots to come and experience some decent food. Never been disappointed and happily travel down in order to make a purchase. Keep at it guys 💯👌🏾💖💣🤤

Amazing place, order was prepared really quickly. The food is lovely, ordered a few times now and they never disappoint. Amazing value, portions are huge and great taste. Staff and delivery staff are also really friendly 😊 I recommend the Lamb or Vegetable Balti ⚡ Other dishes on the menu look great too, so I'll be trying them eventually as well. I will definitely be making this my regular takeaway place! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ordered a take away. Food was very delicious and speedy delivery. Unfortunately it arrived not very hot. Rice portion was small. Would order again.

Food turned up freezing cold and at 24 degrees temperature, my Body is Warmer than that. Restaurant say nothing to do with them as delivery drivers fault and happens a lot. Now in bin as can’t confirm it’s even cooked and can’t take time work. Total health violation and aggressive manager, wouldn’t eat there if raiding in a zombie apocalypse!

Second time ordering from here, doesn’t disappoint. Going to be our new regular

Indian at its best always love to sit in ,the chef is top notch and passionate about his food ... Great place to eat , could do with a makeover though, I've seen the same decor for years

We order from here most weeks since we’ve moved here last year. What a gem! The Meat Samosas are the best I’ve tried and Lamb Dansak is a must (spicy tho) I thought I’d miss Dishoom and IndianVeg but hey oh!

Great food,best curry house in the area.

First time I’ve ordered from here despite living in the area for ages. I’ve been looking for a new regular for a while as the one I usually use in Lee has gone downhill. Will definitely order from here again - very tasty food, we had the chicken tikka masala, vegetarian rojan with various sides and it was all delicious! Really nice flavours and spices. And I know my curries believe me I’ve had a few! :-) also arrived bang on time. the 4* is for the fact the food wasn’t piping piping hot which is fine it was still warm, I just warmed a plate up in the oven. , and they missed out the mango chutney with the poppadoms.

Undercooked meat , Food cold on delivery , not happy at all. Waste of money.. Will not be ordering from here again.

Eat here a lot. Food is always decent. Bhajis rock. Not too much ghee in everything. Mohammed is the nicest waiter ever. Top place. Great memories here.

Great local for both take-away and eat in.

The best takeaway! Defo recommend

Food it always great, staff extremely friendly, atmosphere is wonderful when you eat in, and deliverys very efficient, cant recommend enough

Ordered via just eat a home delivery. Food ordered at 7.40pm arrived 9pm stone cold. It had clearly been packaged and left for ages because the oil in the food had seeped through the container lids. Vegetable curry was all sauce and hardly any veg. Onion barjs were so oil laden that they couldn't be eaten. Chala Chickpeas were 1/4 full and dry so not sure what happened there and the potato dish had one potato and the rest was sauce. The only dish that looked ok was the pilau rice. Heated it all up in the microwave, but to be honest it was so awful that I ended up having to throw the whole lot away. What a complete waste of money!!! I have now woken up to a tummy upset which it definitely linked to this food. I will be reporting these guys to food standards as it was just dreadful. Definitely AVOID this lot. Very very disappointed.

My local takeaway. Consistently good. Timely collections

We have not yet eaten in the restaurant but have ordered take away many times and have been really impressed with the quality of all the dishes each time. The fact that you can order online direct from them and choose a delivery time is also really handy. DEFINITELY OUR GO TO!

There aren't many Indian restaurants in hither green since sandeep closed. Waiting time for food was looooooong. 30+ min... popodum at the bottom of the stack stale. There is hardly any non meat options... I have eaten a lot, I mean a lot, of Indian food in my life. This place is ok but not memorable for outstanding food

We came here for the first time and I'm very pleased with our meal, Totally delicious, cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back again soon.

We decided to try this out as we had 30% off via Uber Eats and our normal Indian/Nepalese take aways don’t use this. It was a mistake. There were positives: the popadoms, mint sauce, pilau rice, chicken korma, onion bhagee, sag bhagee, mushroom bhagee. As well as the price, even before the 30% off we had. I also can’t fault the Uber Eats guy. However, the prawn purée, chicken tikka masala and chicken balti were all poor. The 3 sauces were all unpleasant and it looked like the same chicken has just been added to all the dishes. Rather than being cooked IN the sauce. Anyway, you get the idea. If you go ahead and order, I hope you have more luck than us. I’d recommend the spice of life over this place though.
