Bengal Cuisine in Harrogate - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Three of us dined at the Bengal Cuisine, whilst staying nearby. I can`t remember what my friends had, but my prawn Jalfrezi was spot on. I didn`t have starters but they had a mix of samosas and bhaji`s, which were all freshly cooked and very good, as were the naans, which were beautiful. The two young lads who served us were really nice too. It`s not posh, but it`s not as bad as some of the reviews on here are making out. No drinks licence, so bring your own and cash only too. It was quiet when we went, but so was the rest of Pateley Bridge, which seems to pretty much shut down after 6pm !

It was nice. The food was good is BYO so we got drinks from the spa downstairs. It was a bit hard to find. The service was good and the price was good.

Really tried to score this restaurant higher but can’t unfortunately… From the starter of chicken tikka (5 small cubes of what looked and tasted like processed chicken from the cold shelf of a supermarket) served on a side plate to the “king prawn” Rogan Josh (nothing resembling any variety of prawn - perhaps 2 prawns cut into small pieces if I’m being generous) to the watery potato side dish and the dull surroundings and a lot to be desired decor the whole experience was depressing. I can’t comment on the cost, I didn’t pay my dinner date did, but a trip downstairs to the cash point was required. Luckily the company made up for the rest of the experience. Not a place we will be recommending or returning to!

Ordered a lamb and a chicken main dish, a mushroom pilau and a garlic naan takeaway. Very little meat in both dishes, the lamb was tough and both were below average tasty. Cost £30 which I don’t mind paying if it hit the spot but it didn’t. On collection I was informed they only accept cash which I didn’t have on me hence the inconvenience of a trip to the local cash point. Why? - draw your own conclusion!

Such a shame, however honestly this is probably the worst Indian takeaway we have ever had and possibly the most expensive. Korma was hot and and spicy not mild and creamy, chicken pieces were few and far between, tiny little cubes of chicken, loads of sauce, couldn’t tell if it was the chicken tikka as ordered because the pieces were so small. Takeaway 4 popadoms the onion pickle was just onion really 1 korma and 1 dopiaza 1 rice 1 naan over £34 for a takeaway really !! Anyway just visiting so won’t be calling again. Person serving was nice enough though

Although the decor and the staff were a bit tired looking, the service was excellent and the food delicious. We polished off our meals in no time at all. Note: at the time of our visit, there was no alcohol served but you could take your own. We stuck with soft drinks.

5 stars for service, 2.5 stars for food. Staff were very friendly, however the mains were full of onion and a little bland (we couldn’t tell which dish was suppose to be which based on flavour). The portion of chips was tiny, the naan tough and rubbery, the chicken wasn’t of great quality. We are quite spoiled for Indian food around where we live and so probably have high expectations, but this certainly didn’t live up to them, but ticked a box for a satisfactory Indian meal whilst in the area.

Best Chicken & Mushroom Balti ever! 👍 Basic decor but that didn’t matter. Good friendly service. Recommend you to go whether its a takeaway, as alot of people collecting or sit in.

I visited on a Wednesday with family. The food was ok but for the lack of chicken or prawns in the curries we ordered. We asked for water and were brought a bottle of opened water with a very worn Harrogate spring water cap, in my opinion tap water in a reused posh bottle. To add insult to injury we were charged £3.55 for it. When the bill arrived it was for £84 plus. The meal was only £48, they also added £7.60 service charge. I don't know where they came up with that figure. All in all very disappointed. Check your bill before paying and ask for your water unopened.

Excellent food. Really pleasant staff. Far too much food to eat in one session so taking home for another treat. We will be back.

Fabulous meal. . The Naga, Bindi Chicken and Garlic Chilli Chicken were all very good. The staff are also very nice. Strongly recommended

My last review was that it was the best curry, we have a holiday home in Pateley so used to order often but something has changed and not for the better. Hardly any meat in the curries now, prices have gone through the roof and check your bill as it never seems to be right. They also seem to "forget" about the discount they advertise for takeaway orders. Such as shame but we have stopped ordering from here now and are making our own

Was almost put off by some of the bad reviews on here but our experience was positive. Good food, discount applied to takeaway as advertised, pleasant enough service. Two happy customers.

One of our favourite places to eat. Delicious authentic food and excellent service. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food, great service. First Visited 20 years ago when my husband had his first curry.Our curries were 2 different curries but so tasty.Really tasty and flavorsome, pilau rice so delicately flavored, would definitely return!

Just ordered a takeaway, I know my Indian food a few mouthfuls the rest went in bin ,don't waste your money

As new residents of Pateley Bridge we thought we try out the local Indian and as it was BYO thought we'd grab some beers from the Spar next door (which is superb). What a mistake. I only wish I'd read the other recent reviews that all had the same experience we had. We had a very poor quality meal, asked for the bill and was surprised to find it was almost £150 and we were told that it was cash only and were told where the nearest cash point was. We added up the bill multiple times ourselves and it came to around £114. I asked the waiter why the bill was almost £150 and to recalculate the bill. He did so in front of me and came to the same figure as us and without a word of apology handed me the amended bill back! This was a deliberate and a blatant attempt to rip us off. If you want poor quality food and to be ripped off then this is the perfect restaurant for you!

A large menu that had a Bangladeshi section. The two meals we chose from that section were delicious. We will use again when in the area.

Ordered our take out over an hour before we wanted it. Had a menu that stated 20% off takeaways, they have a sign that says 10% off takeaways. In fact THERES NO DISCOUNT FOR TAKEAWAYS! They only take cash and won’t let you have your...

Read a few reviews that were quite bad . First time in Pateley with another couple and decided to give Bengal cuisine a go ! Not the best decorated place but hay ho ! The staff were all very pleasant and couldn’t do enough !...

We recently moved to the area and after reading the reviews my family and I were looking forward to trying this curry house. I ordered a takeaway and was given a price of £47.16 and told it would be ready in 25 minutes. Upon arrival...

So pleased to have found this restaurant it's above the pancake shop, their's a door on the right that takes you upstairs. Excellent tasty curry and you take your own DRINKS can't beat that. Returning again tomorrow only problem is spoilt for choice.

Got a takeaway while on holiday for a family birthday. You never know what you're going to get with an Indian, but this was excellent. All dishes really tasty, naans large and soft and everything piping hot. Would definitely recommend for a takeaway.

Just had a takeaway from this restaurant, it was the worst Indian food I’ve ever had from a restaurant, the chicken rogan josh virtually had no chicken and looked like they just chucked in a tin of chopped tomatoes and some spice, totally tasteless, I...

We came to Pateley Bridge for the weekend and booked here as we love a good curry. We weren't disappointed.. From when we called and my partner booked and said how lovely they were on the phone, to our actual visit. The service was fantastic,...

As a family we have a few caravans in Heathfield and this place is the best takeaway curry we have ever had, a few things have been tried off the menu now and each dish has been amazing. The lamb is tender and tastes minty,...

We love the Sheek kebabs & Onion Bhajis at Bengal cuisine. Wonderful helpful staff. Never fails to in impress.

We went to Pately Bridge on the way home to York and came across this place. We had no expectations, we were just too hungry but crikey it's the nicest tastiest Indian food we had in a very long time and it didn't cost a...

Basic decor, warm welcome and very tasty food, good portions both starters & main. Good menu slightly on hotter side of descriptions. Slightly limited drinks available and no card payment possible. Overall would definitely go back, pleasant experience and very good food.

Visited on a Wednesday evening. Just two parties in. Pickle tray and poppadums pricey. Food ok, temperature could have been hotter

Tiny door, unimpressive decor, I had low exp ectations. Friendly welcome, broad menu, hottest 'fairly hot' I've ever had. Fabulous taste, portions, etc. I mentioned lack of alcohol and fella gave me 3 x alcohol Becks that someone left. Clincher was a meal deal where...

Back in Pateley for the first time this year. We always have a meal at the Bengal during our stay and look forward to it when planning our visit. We had a lovely meal on Friday night, four adults and one child. Food was spot...

They’ve prioritised safety at this restaurant with lots of hand sanitation stations and track and trace details being requested. Food was fab - we did Thursday night £12.95 for take out or DINE IN - amazing value and hospitality! Well done to all the staff...

After a good few months of being in lockdown we decided to treat the family to a meal an choose this restaurant. Was a fantastic desicion as the staff made our evening special with the amazing food and hospitality.

I was in the area and saw this restaurant, I had to give it a try with my family. I have to say it didn’t fail to hit the spot. The curries, chicken tikka masala, lamb nawabi khana, chicken korma for the kids and the garlic, keema and plain naan was absolutely delightful. I would recommend this restaurant. Great food, friendly staff and the staff made sure we were settled in and made sure the kids were enjoying the food. All in all a fabulous place.

Outstanding food, happy to help, great with recommendations. Clean restaurant. Bring your own alcohol. Service on point. Would highly recommend.

Lockdown is over and had my first curry from here in a long time . Lots of changes have been made succulent tasty meat and plenty of fresh vegetables . Full of individual flavour definitely back on the map booking again can’t fault it

The site is very dirty. The menu sounds really good but in reality its the same sauce no matter what you choose and flavourless, Have tried this place a few times to give it a fair crack and each time I am left disappointed and severely out of pocket as £30 for a takeaway for 2 is outrageous for this standard of food. So even though I love curries and this is the only one for miles I wont be going again.

We look forward to going here every time we stay in Pateley Bridge.The food is delicious not too spicy.

We were staying Pateley Bridge self catering decided on takeaway ... phoned order through they said 25 mins food ready and waiting piping hot .. great food would recommend

Visited whilst on holiday in the area, it was a pity that there was just one other couple ,and a single person dining as well as us three ,the food was tasty and cooked to the heat strength you required ,but no atmosphere ,what a shame

After our arrival in Pateley Bridge from Leicestershire , we didn't fancy cooking on our first evening. Saw the Indian & popped in for a takeaway. I ordered Bombay Aloo, which was nice & just the right amount of heat/flavour. Pilau rice was nice too. Unfortunately my husband ordered Chicken Dansak, it just seemed to be more massive chunks of onion & not a lot else. He said it was pretty tasteless & hardly any chicken content. Disappointed, ie worst curry he has ever had. Nan bread was extremely greasy too

Been going to this place for years now and have never been disappointed, the food is out of this world, truly a wonderful experience. The last time I went was a month ago and the food tastes awesome and is always consistent. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They have no liquor but I like that you can bring what ever you want, they have a spar downstairs so you can pick up what ever drink you like. Really recommend this place it's the best Indian restaurant in Harrogate.

Was ok, but will not be returning. Poppadoms were too greasy. Dishes were poor on meat content and quality but not poor on price. Would not recommend

Had a takeaway recently. Restaurant had one couple eating in at 7pm but seemed to be relatively busy for takeaway. Popadoms tasted greasy. Chicken tikka masala had very runny sauce and about 6 bite size pieces of chicken. Same with chicken dopasia. Peshwari nan was ok. Taste was just ok. First Indian I have had and was still hungry afterwards. Give it a miss.

My husband and I are on holiday in the area and popped in for a Saturday evening meal. The service was friendly and the food was excellent. The chef was able to adapt a dish to make it without dairy, as I have an intolerance. All the dishes were well prepared and very tasty.

Some really fabulous specials and regional dishes. We really enjoyed our meal. BYO alcohol but there is a Spa next door.

Visited this restaurant over Easter holidays,i do not know how this restaurant has 4 stars, its was awful. The food is dreadful, half way through went to the toilet, kitchen door open, i have never seen such a dirty kitchen in my life, slop everywhere dirty walls and floors. It put me off finishing our meals, dirty floors in restaurant and the stairs on the way in full of dirt and mould. This place should be reported to health and safety and food hygiene zero. Disgraceful place for a restaurant needs a good clean and a cheif that can cook, and its expensive too. Never again

Some years ago, had been to a Monday night concert in Pateley Bridge, which was part of the Ripon Music Festival. The choice of places to eat on a Monday night were very limited. We have walked past the Behalf Cuisine many times over the years and have never tried it, so we gave it a go.

This remains a great place for a curry The restaurant uses Bradford to source a lot of its ingredients The food is very good, chicken tikka, jalfrezi, with a good choice on the menu Eat in or takeaway

Awful food and not worth the money .. 🙁🙁 Rubbish Didn't even bother eating The starters ... we ordered 2 and borh were horrible.

Pub had stopped serving food so reluctantly went here as I’d not enjoyed the last meal I had here. Popadoms and pickle was nearly £6 and the jalfrezi was mostly straggly onion with minuscule bits of chicken. Raita was pulverised mush. Naan was ok. Worst was the afterburn, up all night with stomach upset and uncontrollable diarrhoea.

Just had onion bhaji, chicken tikka bhuna, veg pilau rice, and poppadoms.....spot on! Good food, good prices, we will be back.

just visited this restaurant. The worst restaurant. Nearly broke a tooth on a piece of grit in the food and they could not even apologise. Then they charged for tap water. I will never go back, and I advise you all to stay away.

This place is fabulous brilliant cooked food everything perfect. You have to take your own alcohol but that is not a problem as a shop next door . Staff are friendly and it's a lovely place to eat in we will be back again !

Been a few times as this is local. The food is consistently great quality and excellent value. The staff are pretty friendly (for an Indian) and efficient. My only criticism is that it could do with a clean - especially the stairs and toilets.

We had the pleasure of eating in this restaurant in which we fully enjoyed ,we had the prawn purée which was beautiful, and then I had the prawn murgh jaflong and my hubby had the keema murghi masala ,again this was fantastic the special rice and the garlic nan cooked to perfection we will be back !!! They don't sell alcoholic but you can take your own ,they do sell soft drinks, this is a great place to eat in ,go and give a try ,we fully enjoyed our food so thank you Bengal Cuisine see you soon !!!

First time to have a take away and I truly wish I hadn't. Dreadful food. Beyond bland and found 5 little pieces of chicken tikka in the biryani. I would have taken it back if I could have but couldn't face the drive or the bother

Ordered a take away went to pick it up and was shocked at how dirty the place was inside so God only knows what the kitchen was like! Food very average and over priced! Never again

Este restaurante está escondido por las escaleras sobre el Pancake House, y sorprendentemente, tarda sólo en efectivo o cheques (pero hay reintegros en cajeros en el supermercado de al lado, así que no te preocupes), así que fue una agradable sorpresa encontrar tan concurrida y animada. El curry era abundante y el personal cortés, amable y absolutamente encantador. No te pierdas el menú de postres, ya que hay algunos platos deliciosos y muchas de ellas con combinaciones inusuales, deliciosa de kulfi o helado, frutos secos, miel o caramelo. Y son sólo 3 libras. 95 Un pop!

Llamamos aquí el domingo de Pascua.

We visited here last night and despite some of the average reviews here ,we found it to be a very welcome surprise, Great attentive service and a very good quality food served,we will definitely visit here again .

Mi pareja y yo comimos aquí en una noche de sábado a finales de octubre. Llegamos a las 8 de la noche y sólo había 4 mesas en el servicio en ese momento, que era un poco preocupante. El lugar dieron un poco más de gente como las 9:00 pm acercó.

Mi esposa es celíaco y sin gluten esta familia se ha convertido rápidamente en un lujo. Criado en Brick Lane y curris rusholme es genial tener curris bien preparada de nuevo y una gran variedad disfrute

Run of the Mill tranquilo campo indio. No volvería. A pesar de que carece de sabor platos promesa de imaginativos platos El menú ofrecido. Personal amable.

We ordered a takeaway and the food was delicious. Food was piping hot and well spiced. Portion sizes are good and naan breads were soft and delicious. Prices were reasonable. We didn't opt for eating in after long journey but would next time we visit.

Stopped off on our way to how stean gorge camp site for a take out....was not disappointed..one of the best currys we have had...chicken bhuna with nan bread and onion Bhaji they were some of the best I have ever had...friendly quick service highly recommend.

Located at the bottom of the high street here in Pateley Bridge......car park opposite which is free to park after 6 pm.....Greeted by friendly but sedate staff member who showed us to our table....All the time we ate there were no other diners, plenty of ''take away'' customers which proves it's popularity.....Anyway we were not deterred, after ordering a Mixed Thali , Chicken Shashlik, with Pashwari naan....coconut rice and chips all which was fresh and thoroughly enjoyed...The aroma and taste was wonderful. No alcohol served but bring your own acceptable.....they even supplied the bottle opener...great value when the bill came...Soft music played in the back ground, toilets clean and ok....small seating/waiting area at entrance....Enjoyable meal and would visit again....décor ok ...only downfall is access is via a flight of stairs....

I had some excellent light and fluffy onion Bhaji that are the best i have tasted in a long while. My partner had prawn on puree which was also really good. the main course i had chicken korma as my palate is a mild one and the flavour was excellent with a lovely sauce that was not too heavy in fat or oil. My partner has a stronger palate and had lamb shashlik which was excellent and a really good portion. the pilau rice was fresh and fluffy.The pashwari naan was fresh and light. they do not have a liquor licence but this did not bother us at all. You can take in your own alcohol if required.

Very welcoming friendly service. Excellent quality food with a expansive menu. Could bring own drinks as non licensed which made bill very reasonable.

Visiting Pately Bridge for the weekend walked past this restaurant on our first evening and it spelt gorgeous! Went for a meal the following evening. Food was lovely and the staff were nothing but friendly and helpful. Surroundings aren't great but the food and staff more than made up for it. Cheers guys!

Having frequented Pateley for a number of years and taken full advantage of the take away feature we decided to sit in this time. Firstly it is quiet but then again that's the nature of the town, it's a quiet area and most people like to cook or bbq at thier vans and tents when the weather is warm so I can't hold this against the place as it isn't exactly thier fault. The member of staff wasn't the most enthusiastic but he wasn't distant or dismissive either, again he was probably a little fed up as he had no one to serve (we ate at 6:45 and we're the only ones in, another 8 or so people were in when we left at 8) but certainly nothing I could complain about. The food came promptly and was great although I have to say I always order the chicken madras but compared to the takeaway this was very mild. We didn't take advantage of the bring your own beer as we were dining with a 2 year old. She loved her fish fingers as well just to note. 3 mains with sides , drinks and rice/ chips came in under £30. All in all pretty good, just a tad let down by the spice level.

Went in by chance, not knowing anything about this restaurant. It wasn't the most sophisticated restaurant and I soon realised that people were bringing their own alcohol. With a Spar next door, I nipped out for a couple of cans of lager and the staff were extremely congenial, giving us a glass to drink from. It was packed and we soon found out why - the food was superb. A vegetable rogan josh, lamb madras and poppadoms and chutneys coming to £23 pounds, we would have paid another £10 without blinking, it was that good.

We enjoyed a good Indian meal in quiet and comfortable surroundings. Both courses were tasty, and served promptly. Staff were polite and professional. Would definitely go back.

bought a mixed grill to take away and two popodoms came to 12 pounds , mix grill contained a chicken leg and four small chunks about 20mm in size .was not even enough for a starter never mind a main . not happy at all .

Had a family curry night to start off our mini holiday, this was the 2nd time visiting and once again the food was brilliant! To top it all off you can take your own drinks!...

Although we live locally this is the first time we have visited the Bengal Cuisine in about ten years. The restaurant is on the first floor of a prominent building in the town. from the outside it looks neglected and run-down but the inside is better. It has had a makeover in recent years although it clearly wasn't a budget buster! We visited on a Saturday night at 7.30 and the place was empty, although a couple more tables were occupied when we left at 9. Our reception was hardly welcoming and the two waiters on duty were indifferent, bordering on surly. Their attitude suggested they woukld rather have been elsewhere that night, perhaps watching the Eurovision Song Contest?.This place is not licenced which is actually a big advantage because you can pop next door to the excellent Spar store (now in new ownership) and pick up a bottle of Kingfisher for just £2.25. The waiting staff did their duty and took our orders without much grace. The food was really not bad at all - poppadums hot and not burnt, nan bread fresh and tasty and main courses chicken passanda and chicken biryani above average. Good portions too. Because of its lack of atmosphere and graceless staff it is difficult to enthuse about Bengal Cuisine. They seem to do a good takeaway trade so perhaps that says it all. Good food, but don't want to eat in the restaurant. I think we'll take that option next time.

The food here is great and we especially enjoyed the vegetable dishes. We ordered sag, mixed vegetable and chickpea sides and each one was well-cooked with a delicious, nicely spiced sauce. The menu is long with lots of choices of meat and accompanying sauces. It would be great to return to get to know more of the dishes.

Enjoyed eating here whilst visiting Pateley Bridge for the Tour de Yorkshire.Food was well cooked and hot from the kitchen portions were just right.

I understand some of the reviews. the place was quiet lacked atmosphere but it was a week night and early. That said, the service was great. THE FOOD, Excellent flavours, well presented great value. I could not finish all of it. One thing, if you want to drink alcohol, you need to go teo doors down first. but the J20 was cold and fresh.

We regularly visit this restaurant for eat in and takeaways and always enjoy the food. Servings are generous and food is delicious. Very good value for money.

We read a few reviews before choosing the Bengal Indian restaurant. A bit of a mixed opinion,sum what.We really enjoyed the meal it was delicious.

We were the only people in the restaurant so it lacked any atmosphere. The waiter was nice but the food was below average, not bad, but nothing memorable. It also felt a bit cold and dusty, needed a good clean as there was thick dust on the windows and cobwebs. Okay if you don't have any other options...

We ordered a takeaway - popadoms were salty, curries tasted bland and we ordered a starter for a main, however it was not a main course size. The actual restaurant seems run down, had no atmosphere and appeared dirty.

Very good selection of dishes on the menu and reasonably priced. Not licensed but you can take your own wine or beer, (Spar shop is conveniently located next door)

We live locally and go to this restaurant about once a week either as a sit down meal with friends or for a takeaway. I am surprised at some of the reviews. We have found the food here to be universally excellent and the prices provide very good value for money. The guys who run the restaurant have always been very friendly, courteous and provide great service. We think we are lucky to have such a great place so near to where we live.

This restaurant was very good value for money and the food was decent. My only observation is that the meat dishes were heavily flavoured with fresh coriander, of which I am not a fan, so spoiled the taste for me. However my partner enjoyed the food immensely.This restaurant has no liquor licence so it is bring your own bottle.

I was alone and hungry. I ordered a Chicken Korma as a safe and predictable choice. The quantity was just right but there was no real flavour.

The staff were friendly and helpful.The swirling lights disturbingBiryani unbelievably bland watery and with sweetcorn?Naan bread heavy and tastelessJalfrezi averageCost expensive Such a shame because it all smelt delicious Will not return

We are lucky to live very close to this restaurant so are regulars there. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is fresh, tasty and plentiful. It is excellent value for money. Be aware though that it does not have a licence to serve alcohol so take your own.

A lovely restaurant with good food & friendly, helpful staff. We have used this restaurant several times and never had a bad experience, whether it is just the two of us or a group of 16. My wife is a vegan & they were more than happy to create a meal especially to suit her!

Starters were cold, and bland. I have eaten a lot of Skeesh and Shammi kebabs over the years, and these were the worst I've ever had.My wife's main course was lukewarm. A very disappointing experience.

Located above a shop in the high street (no disabled access) of this picturesque dales village this restaurant proved to be a very enjoyable dining experience. The tables and restaurant were very clean. The staff were friendly and made me a dish that was not on the menu. The food was very good, not the finest I have ever eaten but certainly well above average and excellent for the price. The friends with whom I was dining also enjoyed their meals. The decorations were not especially impressive, but as the restaurant was clean and the food was good this minor point does not really matter. There was a large, well kept and fascinating tropical fish tank which interested me somewhat. The restaurant does not sell alcohol but will allow you to bring your own. There is a Spar shop within a few feet of the door that sells alcoholic drinks. There is public car park opposite the entrance to the restaurant so parking was very easy (and free after 6pm).

Restaurant a bit lifeless, we were the only ones there. Food OK though. Not licensed so have to bring own booze. Cash only.

Outstanding restraunt and service very good menu over 50 dishes to choose from.Lovely food, friendly staff.Will recommend this restaurant to others.

Ordered a take away. Only one couple dining in restaurant therefore no atmosphere and scored reminded me of something from years ago. None of this would have mattered if food was good however this was the worst curry I have ever had. Very poor quality - would not have known I was eating chicken and hardly ate any of the meal. Avoid!

Not being a fan of Indian food, I went along with friends, the atmosphere was sad, the staff uninterested and food mediocre. They no longer serve alcohol, but allow you to bring your own. Cash only too!! Disappointing all round and won't be rushing back!

we have been coming here for about 18 months since we moved to Pateley bridge as have some friends. we always get miserable service and dont understand why as the waiters are often gushingly friendly to other tables .There is never any recognition that we have ever been in there before and very rarely get a goodbye as we leave -the waiters often too busy checking their mobile phones to bother to look up. customers are such a nuisance arent they.It seems incomprehensible that a restaurant that can often be dead in winter cant be bothered to welcome customers - and regular ones at that.We keep going because we all like going out for a curry but if there was a choice of restaurants we wouldnt go back here .

We went to this Indian in the early evening and when we arrived at 6pm we were the only ones in the restaurant - but it soon filled up with families, locals and tourists alike and by the time we came away the place was full and had a vibrant atmosphere.The service was very good and efficient - the food itself was delicious... just a little disappointed with the onion bahajis - seemed to lack a little spice but the mains were out of this world. The menu is child friendly as well - with good old English classics of nuggets and chips for the less adventurous children like ours - and the staff very family focused - we would definitely take the children next time we go out to eat in Pateley Bridge. The restaurant is not licensed so we took our own alcohol from the Spar next door, but they do sell soft drinks.

We had a fantastic weekend at the harefest festival and where looking forward to finishing off with an indian meal. We arrived at 10.45 and although they where open until 11.00 pm we where told they would only give us a takeaway, they where rude and couldn't be bothered to sit us down because there was nobody else there. What a massive disappointment , avoid at all costs
