I used to live in London and enjoyed this place many years ago, but because I now live in Cambridgeshire, I hadn't been for years. After a long walk from Finchley via Hampstead Heath, we were feeling hungry, so my partner suggested we go there. Having been greeted at the door by an immaculately dressed and friendly mâitre d', I knew immediately we were going to be in for a delightful evening, and so it proved. The food was impeccable and the service certainly the best I've experienced, in any restaurant, for quite some time (and we dine frequently at some well-known places in central London). Tandoori chicken, sizzling vegetables, Saag aloo, and perfect Naan were all supremely delicious. I wasn't in the mood for alcohol, so the salt Lassi was a super and refreshing alternative. My partner ate a delightful looking Subjee Begun pie as her main course, and we shared the vegetables. Great food and lovely restaurant all round. I cannot wait to come back.

The staff at the Bengal Lancer were amazing. We were a big group of 14 people, and they looked after us extremely well. The food was great, and the wine very decent and reasonably priced.

The Bengal Lancer was a lifesaver during covid and the Monday night takeaway has morphed into a sit in curry club. The food is honest and home cooked, well priced and my friend and I missed it in September/ October when it was spruced up in a refurb. The staff there are friendly and the service is always excellent. They’re very open to feedback and tweaking their dishes to taste also. Get along and support your local curry house!

A regular local visitor. Thought I’d try a different dish to my usual and ordered the prawn mooli for £19. It was just sauce and four king prawns: no other vegetables or anything else. Absolutely outrageous for the price. I’d assumed it would be accompanied with other vegetables. Really surprised and disappointed by a local curry house taking the piss.

Mi hija y yo entramos tarde para cenar, sobre las 22h, pero nos dijeron que podían servirnos. El camarero parecía enfadado por la hora. Pedimos, nos sirvieron y cuando todavía estábamos cenando, nos trajo la cuenta. Todo esto sin dirigirnos la palabra y con muy mala cara. Ni la comida, ni la atención merecían el precio que pagamos. Lo peor, el servicio.

At approximately 18:20 on a Sunday evening I tried to have dinner at this restaurant. I was told that it is takeaway only... I asked why it says on the door that they are open from midday to midnight on Sundays but they answered that it does but they are cleaning the kitchen now... It didn't make sense but it was unwelcoming and unprofessional. Thankfully, there are a number of other restaurants on Kentish Town Road that served food at that time.
