Bengal Cymru in Caerphilly

Food took 2 hours for delivery , the madras was awful, was watery and cold with no taste and bland, Never thought a curry could be so bad. Don't recommend

Delicious food, helpful staff and good atmosphere, good value. What more can you ask for

Attended for the buffet 😊 nice & clean, food fresh, nice pint & good service 😊

Firstly must say the staff were excellent and in no way deserve the 1 star. However we will never be returning to this place. We opted to try the buffet (stay clear) food was bland and stale . Traditional taste of India (taken from their website) I find this hard to believe. All the curry’s were sweet tasting and nothing like traditional Indian flavours. Unfortunately the food did not last long in me and have had upset stomach now for 24 hours.

Great food as always from here, well worth the 20 minute drive to collect.

Great VFM, lots of choice 20 of us we t no one dossapointted will def return ..

Came along here for the first time yesterday for my daughters birthday and it was lovely! Well worth the drive. The staff were super friendly- even one of the chefs came and offered a hand to one of the younger members of our party at the buffet. Really lovely, clean atmosphere and it wont be our last visit thats for sure.

Amazing value for money Indian restaurant in Risca. Great food at a decent price! Never come away hungry as good portion sizes. Popular, so busy on the weekends so worth booking ahead. Love you guys

Really good buffet. Plenty of choice and we were impressed with how well organised it all was. There was always a member of staff checking the food area, cleaning and checking on serving spoons etc. Very good value for money, tasty food and good service. We'll be back.

Visited with family and kids from London (hoilday). Food was delicious and bursting with flavours. Love the modern look. Service was professional, staff amazing. I would highly recommend this place.

Amazing food atmosphere and staff willing to adapt to your needs. I can't rate it highly enough. I always feel welcomed and part of their family when i come here.

Amazing great service will definitely return soon found this place on a trip to Wales with the family i was not disappointed

Took family all would definitely go back

First time visiting and was disappointed. Plenty variety, food hot and presented well. I will returnable the ladies toilets were spotless. Hygiene letter high.

Great food and the buffet menu is a bargain.

Shabz and the team have done it again. I'm gluten intolerant and can be tricky for me at times, but at Bengal Cymru Shabs not only explains what I can and can't eat, also had a freshly cooked gluten free Chapati, which was delicious. Desert, snowballs, and Daim cake, what a way to finish it off. Thanks again for making it a special visit again.

Food was nice staff were very helpful and pleasant but unfortunately the group of men sat by the side of us were very loud and language was appalling

Great food and service. Couldn’t do enough for you

Absolutely stunning meal, staff where amazing, will definitely be visiting again.

Very good ,Indian buffet restaurant

A very good choice of menu and it's a lovely atmosphere

Ordered directly through the website site and informed it would be 55mins before delivery which was fine as it was a Saturday night. After an hour and a half it still hadn’t arrived so had to call the restaurant and it hadn’t been prepped yet, I was then informed it would be 15/20 mins. After an additional 20 mins beyond the time I was informed I called the restaurant again and I was told it wouldn’t be long, I said it had been over 2 hours and they said it won’t be long, thanks, bye and they hung up; After another 5 mins it arrived. The food smelt good but that’s as good it got. All of the food was horribly greasy and bland. Nothing had any flavour which was disappointing and I wish I’d not spent the money. The price is good for the quantity and it was piping hot when it got delivered but other than that, I have nothing good to say about it. DON’T waste your money.

Went for a birthday party and the food was lovely, buffet plentiful and piping hot, orders off the menu took a long time but then they are mainly a buffet which was excellent value for money.. Will definitely go again, but I will avoid a Friday evening. The only downside is parking

The best restaurant in the UK. Top staff and food 10/10

Visited for the first time recently and it was outstanding. Good hot food and loads of variety. Service was great too and atmosphere pleasant. We went during a quiet time however so unsure how it fares when busy but will be back for sure.

A pretty good 'all you can eat' buffet style Indian restaurant. The mains are pretty good, but the desert selection is awesome

Went last night and was very disappointed, we had booked in advance but had to wait nearly half an hour to be sat down as it was so busy which wasn't a great start. When we were eventually seated the food was absolutely terrible, everything was completely tasteless, I tried 3 different curries and none of them tasted like anything, chicken was dry and had the texture of cardboard and it was just generally awful, I find it hard to fathom how you can make a curry so tasteless! It made me feel sorry for all those people who lost their taste when they had covid, thankfully I retained mine when I had it but after last night I can perfectly understand what it must be like to eat food with no flavour whatsoever, disgusting. Also witnessed staff members putting out cakes and desserts with bare hands. Extremely overpriced at nearly £20 each, my advice, drive a further 20 yards up the road and go to the tamarind instead, it's so much nicer there and no, I don't work for them or haven't been paid for this revue, just a normal guy who appreciates tasty food.

New year's eve visit so it was understandably busier than usual. Food was very good.

Buffet style India. Good selection of food fresh and hot! Well worth a visit! Will be going back for more 😊

Great all you can eat worth a visit watch out for buizy times as it can get buizy 👍

I prebooked well ahead for New Years Eve 730pm We arrived 10mins early Three members of staff asked us how many, each time we told them the name of whom it was booked under and the time of the booking. We were then shown to a table where one of the seats was soaking wet. Our host appeared unbothered by this at first until we refused it. To be honest we should of walked out then. But we didn't and as it was a vinyl chair it was dried easily enough. Throughout the short time we were there we asked if we wanted more drinks several times, we had 3 cokes and one cobra. The drinks were Untouched the first time they asked about refills. On the placemats are the prices for the buffet. Basically £17/19 depending on the day you attend. We were there for around 45minutes. On paying we were informed it was £27 each for the buffet. We asked where this price was displayed on the website was the answer ?! There was no uprated price advertised on the way in, none of staff informed us and nothing visible on the bar where we paid. The only visible prices like I mentioned above were on the placemats. When I booked off the website there was nothing to say it would be a different price to normal. If they had informed us before we entered then we would of had a choice to stay or go. To me this was fraudulent. We ended up paying but it left a bitter taste. Then today I had an email saying we hadn't turned up yesterday and had been marked down as a no show. Well that was the last straw for me. I will not go there again and I'm taking advice about their conduct.

Me and my son came tonight, we was first in, the place is very clean, the staff are friendly the food and service is amazing thank you.

Went there for meal 2 of us and it didn’t taste very nice it cost £40 for the 2 of us for the buffet wasn’t much choice and gave me a bad belly the next day never again🤮

Just had nearly £70 worth of curries delivered….set menu for 4 persons. It took over an hour and a half to arrive…was luke warm and absolute tasteless garbage. All the different curries looked the same in a tasteless, bland, gloopy vegetable sauce, that didn’t even resemble curry at all. More like a stew. This was possibly the worse curry I’ve ever had in front of me in fifty years. I own a catering business and would be ashamed and embarrassed to serve food of that quality to my customers. We are extremely disappointed and will definitely NOT be a returning customer.

Food was lovely ..service was spot on so friendly & helpful they're on the ball with anything a customer asks for ..clearing away or topping up the food ... serving drinks... loved the modern decor ..all round fab place food and staff ..definitely be bk soon 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent food and service fantastic must try 👍

Food took 2 hours to come when we were told it would be 1 hour, rang up after 1 hour 30 to be told it would be 5 minutes. Food turned up barely warm and missing chips. We won't be ordering or visiting again which is a shame as we have enjoyed many sit down meals the years.

I love this place, excellent service polite and very friendly staff , calming atmosphere, just had a great evening with close friend. I will definitely recommend this place and will visit here again, thankyou for a wonderful evening 😀 😊

Some of the dishes were really good. Service was excellent. The wierd thing was that a korma and bhuna dishes were a bit too spicy and the onion bhaji was more like a pakora than bhaji. Still was an excellent meal. If you are vegitarian don't go for the buffet option as not much for veggies, go for the menu option where there is more choice. Overall pretty good and I would go back again.

Wonderful food, excellent service and unbelievable value for money. Well worth a visit, you won't regret it. Visited again yesterday and had another excellent, and very filling meal. All we could eat, 3 drinks each for £25 each (Inc the tip). Superb.

Good authentic buffet selection with some really nice naan breads. There are plenty of spicy (madras) and mild options (korma and tikka) and also vegetarian dishes: sag aloo (so tasty), garlic mushrooms, chutney mix etc. They do also allow you to order anything separate off the menu should you need a special dish (vegetable curries, other meats etc.). The only drawback is that the tables are so cramped together - we get it though, it’s a small space and very popular! It gets noisy, and kids do tend to run around the place. We visited on a Tuesday at 6pm and it was even starting to get busy at that time. We have been on a Saturday and it was horrendously busy in comparison with a long wait for a table and you couldn’t hear yourself think. Servers were more attentive on this visit (they had the time!). They could improve the dessert selection and ice cream flavours.

Excellent service, brilliant food,went to celebrate a birthday, 20 of us,Bengal Cymru looked after us amazingly, had the buffet. Would recommend the place to everyone...👏👏👏👏

Ordered via telephone.. was told 1 hour, called after 1.40 and arrived after 2 hours. Most of the food, despite the delay, was piping hot and very delicious.. a starter was missing from the order and upon calling was offered the dish but at a wait OR a voucher to use off our next order.. this is up for debate within the group due to huge waits and given that we probably won't order again - yup their loss as we order takeout twice a week and new to the area AND host friends regulary- but hey ho!! There's always the Tamarind we hear have been around a little longer!! Friendly chap on the phone who apologised for the order, the delay, how busy they were.. we MIGHT try them on a quieter night to the weekend 🤔 but may not due to missing dish, 2 hour wait and a cold bhuna.

Excellent place to dine in or takeaway. Quality service, friendly staff and amazing food 👌

Very nice all you can eat buffet. Plenty of variety and all food was lovely and fresh. Would definitely go again and recommend.

Great little restaurant. Service was really good and the food was excellent. Choose from a set menu or an all you can eat style buffet.

Ordered a takeaway and arrived at the specified time, was told it would be ready just bagging it up, then another 20 mins past before food arrived. While sat in the waiting area it was very loud with one certain individual pretty much shouting to be heard and swearing constantly. The food was OK, quite a few undercooked chips but the curries tasted good. Sadly with the amount of decent Indian takeaways and restaurants we have in the area this won't be one I return to.

£17 Mon-Thu £19 Fri-Sun All you can eat, and everything tastes amazing. There isn't one dish I didn't like or want to try, plentiful desserts! Brilliant service and polite staff, never asked us to hurry and was happy to offer explanations on a curry I didn't know. Would happily attend again and again!

Very nice buffet with lots of choice of curries. Some good starters and nice selection of rices and side dishes. Also nice to see keema naan part of the buffet as normally just plain or garlic in other all you can eats. Desserts ok but had better elsewhere but I don't really rate an Indian on the Desserts.

Fantastic everytime we come here. Great variety of super dishes. Serving area always kept clean by attentive ,but unobtrusive staff. A bit noisy when busy,but only to be expected really. If you love Indian food and have a good appetite,then look no further!

Nice place, had a lovely time during a week visit. Not quite as nice during the weekend.

We have been here a few times now, but this time was the last. I understand it's buffet, everything was so watered down, from the mango chutney, mint sauce to the heavily filled out curries. Do yourself a favour, and go to the Tamarind across the road.

Absolutely fab, food was amazing, highly recommend £18 per person all you can eat can’t rate it highly enough 🤩🤩🤩🙌🙌 will definitely be back xxx 🤩🤩

The food was excellent, the restaurant was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful

1st time ordering from this Indian restaurant didn't dissappoint food delivered on time and food was excellent and very tasty best Indian we have eaten 😋 will definitely order again and would love to visit for a sit down in the restaurant thank you everyone we were very satisfied

We enjoyed the starters, salad, dips and poppadoms but the curries were either bland or over spiced and the meat was dry. Good variety, but not as nice as other indian buffets that we have been to in the past.

Very good place to eat .had a wonderfull nite with friends.

Lovely food chose buffet option. Staff pleasant& was on the ball with clearing plates and replenishing drinks Enjoyed our visit Thank you 😊

Visited yesterday for the 1st time in around 18 months,surprisingly the food was much better and I am pleased to say so.there were a good few people there,atmosphere was nice,me and my mate gave it a right hiding.struggled getting to the car we were that full.....all in all a good experience 😀

Just had a lovely all you can eat buffet at Bengal Cymru in Risca, Newport. They are very clued up on allergens especially Gluten, a lot of meals are GF and they will even cook you a Gluten Free Chapati. Lovely Indian food.

I live in an American metropolitan community that has a fairly large Indian population. As a result, I dine at a variety of restaurants and have experience with and preference for Indian cuisine. The restaurant was busy, but not packed and as a hungry business traveler, the all you can eat buffet was the draw. I was seated immediately, and asked for a glass of water, then headed to the buffet, and spent six or seven minutes making selections. This was the country Wales, where meat is a stable, but still, there were no vegetarian items to choose from other than french fries. When I returned to the table, the second place setting had been removed, but there was no water. I asked for water at least two or three more times and was told “it’s on its way“ but it didn’t arrive until I was nearly finished with the first round which was dry and somewhat tasteless. Definitely the nearby tables that were ordering alcohol drinks we’re getting theirs. The water finally arrived, which I gulped and it was never replenished. There were at least four servers, and interestingly, all men… No women.

24th of May 2023 took my father for the buffet staff were excellent and the food was brilliant would recommend.

Fabulous food, brilliant service. Slight misunderstanding as I wanted a take out box for the food I didn't finish. It went in the bin!! Mortified staff, second dinner to take out, no extra charge. Absolutely superb. Will definitely be back

Lovely food great choice but beware website very out dated and prices are much higher than advertised pre warning check prices before booking!

Discovered this place by chance tonight but will most definitely be back very soon. Lovely atmosphere, very high quality food and outstanding service. Our waiters and bar staff were very friendly and attentive and overall we had a delicious meal in a welcoming environment. If I had to fault something the only thing I could possibly say was that the poppadoms weren’t the best I’ve ever had but that didn’t matter at all once I tasted the rest of the food. Recommend a visit here!

Food was amazing, staff were brilliant totally enjoyed it, definitely go back

Excellent food and value for money. Will definitely go again

Five star food rating; well presented interior: both set the scene for good quality food. We dod the buffet on a sunday night. Excellent choice and well balanced spices. Bill for 2 adults £38.

Amazing food, such a lovely atmosphere inside but the heating needs to be put on, don't agree with shivering at my table.

Not for me sorry, service was ok but lacked atmosphere, the food could have been a lot warmer too,sorry

Great indian restaurant serving buffet style menu its very popular great service and friendly place highly recommended

If you intend eating here - beware! We took a party of people to eat here recently and were grossly over charged. Unlike most reputable businesses they do not issue you with an itemised bill when you come to pay - only a card till receipt which tells you very little. When challenged over the bill they initially denied any overcharging, and did not provide a breakdown. However, when forced to re calculate the bill it was discovered that we were greatly overcharged. A refund was given. The real question is - How many more times does this happen, especially when too many people don't check their bills. Needless to say, we won't be eating there again.

Stunning food, A pleasant visit from start to finish.

Great place, wasnt happy that they charged me extra for my Christmas meal, the sign in the car park was "last years Christmas poster" well as I said ...take it down as its wrongful advertising, they did then charge me the advertised price ! Naughty......how many people that day paid the incorrect price ?

Beautiful, hot and tasty food! Plenty of choice too. Staff are welcoming and efficient. Superb value for money. Looking forward to our next visit already! Well done to all at Bengal Cymru ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love going to Bengal Cymru for its self service all you can eat food, it has a variety of Indian dishes as well as english food, e.g. chicken nuggets & chips for children. Staff are friendly, restaurant is clean especially around food area. You can help yourself to the food as many times as you like, also desserts are very good ranging from fruit, ice cream and small cakes. They also have set meals, so deciding on what you want depends on the cost. I find it us best to book as it is a small restaurant, it also a small car park.

I am saddened to give this visit such a poor review, however it is reflective of our visit on the night ....whereby on arrival to the carpark we were greeted with little space to park hampered by a large recovery truck parked directly outside the entrance... the truck was parked and not on call and remained parked all evening, The entrance was covered in black ice and even after reporting this to the staff remained the same some hours later on our departure The service was far from good with drink orders wrong and the food less than plentyful and in many cases warm rather than hot all made worse with freezing cold plates I hope our experience is one off and should you decide to use the restaurant uou have a better experience

First visit and it was delicious

Been on toilet all morning..bad tummy diorhea and yeah ill as...to finish it off it was my birthday meal...thank u very much....wouldnt allow me to put zero star...

Went for a visit with friends. Great service, very nice staff and food was amazing. Recommend the buffet option as there is a variety of items. A good size car park too

Amazing. Thank you so much Bengal Cymru and staff. Good tasting food, good service, nothing is too much trouble, would recommend and would come again! J. Smith

Amazing food and staff very friendly and welcoming definitely highly recommend

Food was nice fairplay. Only negative I can say is that for children over 9 years is for £17.95 very expensive!

Absolutely banging.. Best take out Ever had!

Very friendly staff and great food

Dont bother food did not even arrive after 2 hours and numerous phone calls £40 absolute joke . Dint wastetourtime order food from somewhere else, it will be the last time

Had food there was great thank you staff👍

Ordered home delivery via Bengal cymru site ( not Uber eats etc). Overall waited 2 and half hours for food to come. Called after the first hour as had no confirmation order been taken yet money taken from bank account. Was told issue with site ( fair enough understandable on a busy Saturday night ). Was told be with me in 30 to 35 minutes. Called an hour after that to be told it was just being bagged up. Was told that a discount/ gift voucher would be added in with order due to lack of contact to say issues with order or system. But food arrived without any kind of voucher or anything. Overall order placed at 8 pm. Called them at 9 . Then called them at 10. Food eventually turns up at 10.35. Delivery service via their own website needs a lot of work. Food was good tho. Just a shame the delivery and order management let it down big time

Ordered delivery to home via their actual website. Not Uber eats etc. Called after an hour as the webpage was showing order still pending. Was told issues with their site ( which is fair enough) and food would be another half hour to 35 min. Called an hour later again. ( By this point it was 2 hours after originally placing order) to be told it's just being bagged up. Should take roughly half hour to get to my location . Was told a gift voucher would be put in with the order . Upon arrival there was no gift voucher .from order to delivery was 2 and half hours. No updates given unless I called them. And as said above was told gift/ discount voucher would be included but had nothing .. food was good though but delivery nd overall customer services rather poor.

Buffet was good , mint chilli chicken is a must if you go

This place was recommended to us whilst visiting the area for a weekend in Wales. We booked a table online, yet still had to wait a while until we got seated. Eventually we got seated and our drink order was taken whilst we browsed the menus, and this browsing went on for 45 minutes, as no one would take our order. We flagged down at least 3 waiters, who acknowledged us, yet still didn’t return as promised. The restaurant appears to primarily be a buffet style Indian and those who want to order from the normal menu are forgotten, despite would be paying x10 the amount. The restaurant was extremely busy due to the buffet and had kids running about. It was unfortunately not the quiet, chilled and comfortable meal that we expected, so we left without ordering food and went to another Indian that was recommended and had a fab meal with actual service. I don’t recommend this place unless you enjoy a Benidorm style all-inclusive buffet restaurant.

An amazing Indian buffet at Bengal Cymru! Very inviting atmosphere and the staff gave us an attentive service. Great variety of starters, mains and desserts. Each curry was distinctive and tasty. They also had a lot of child friendly dishes and treats.

We traveled from Cwmbran to here, just wanted to try somewhere different. It was pretty quiet while there. Food was nice and nicely set out. I liked the fact that everything was covered up. Prices were the same as other places we have been to. Only one thing I didn't like was how dark it is in there. They need to get slightly brighter bulbs. I like to be able to see what I'm eating. I don't understand why restaurants these days need to have such a dark atmosphere. Makes me think, what are they trying to hide. Other than that, yes we probably would go back but not in a hurry

Really nice but prefer just to order off menu as no really a buffet fan but my family enjoyed and food lovely

Excellent food and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Good selection of dishes including deserts 👍 £15.99 for buffet at time of writing 👌

Stunning food very clean this was the second time i.ve been and i will be going back

Great food. The buffet is superb

Absolutely amazing!! Food was outstanding and the staff was so friendly! So much to chose from as well! Will definitely be back soon!
