Lovely food, lovely staff , great vibes ✨🪷 Personally recommend the garlic lamb dish and the dhansak 🙏😍 Myself and my partner love this place!

It was a lovely experience, The food is excellent. The portions are massive. Very welcoming staff. Overall amazing service.

Absolutely loved it, a nice relaxed atmosphere with outstanding food, the manager who served us was amazing and made the night for us. Hats off to you.

Really good tasty food, brilliant advice and service for a large group of 15 to dine in. Very tasty and reasonable.

Never fails!! Always have a great meal. Friendly chatty staff. Fresh cooked food, delicious naans. Happy to wait as each meal is freshly cooked. Would highly recommend this place. Doesn't look much from the outside or inside but the food is the important thing. Will continue to frequent this place

Excellent food.i like my pathia super hot and they made it just as I asked it was so so tasty hope to go again soon

Food, faultless, Dining in at restaurant,not so good,food lovely,but restaurant very dated and freezing cold,Will definitely go back for takeaway

Tasty food and fantastic customer service everytime I went! Gotta try the garlic naan! 😋

Lovely Naga Chickrn and Vindaloo but bit expensive versus some others meaning it will be less visits ftom us but enjoyable now and again

This is a vert good curry. Had friends over and ordered delivery. Came on time and food hot Curry was outstanding. A flavoursome curry not just heat, and cooked very well. This was a proper well priced curry. Would throughly recommend.

It takes a very long time to get any food in this place. The majority of the food does taste good, but there are times we’ve waited well over an hour from ordering just to be served anything to eat at all. The restaurant has quite a weird atmosphere, quite disorganised. The deliveries aren’t much better. They can take hours to arrive. And, if you go to collect, they are quite happy to make you wait just as much time PAST the agreed time of collection! Overall, the nice food just is not worth it.

Extremely disappointed by the service. The staff was too slow, we had to wait more than an hour for our food to even arrive at the table and no one responded to our requests or questions in a proper manner. Would not recommend going here. The waiters don’t even understand what we are asking for and ended up denying us something we wanted which we literally saw on the table next to us.

1st time ordering. Huge portions, plenty of meat in each item, The quality of the food is great, no grissle on the lamb. However even items labeled fairly hot were pretty mild, the chicken tikka masala was even sweet! Next time, and if you are ordering here, ask for spicy if you like it that way. Perhaps when you order, they should ask your desired spice level.

Every time we go to Bengal Palace we are blown away by the standard of the food. You do have to wait slightly longer but the food is worth the wait, cooked to perfection and exquisitely tasty. Gold standard. Wonderful.

Visited on 8th june 2023 If you are an indian , mention before ordering so that they can customise for you. I ordered chicken naga, cheese onion naan and garlic naan. It was spicy and tasty . Enjoy

The restaurant opens at 17.30 but owner and chef hadn't turned up for work.chef missed bus .owner was turning up about 6 .So gave it a miss as last we went we ordered food and waited nearly 30 minutes for them so could have at least for them to turn up as food was good last vist but not worth waiting until? Time .

Perfect food, very good portions and amazing prices.

Wow wow and wow Here from Bournemouth for a few days for work. Decided to take the walk from town which was 16 minutes. Think 16 minutes well spent 10 out of 10 service same for the food and the staff. Thanks for making our night great Dave chicken tikka tindaloo

Great meal with great service. We were the only people in the restaurant but a few orders being taken over the phone for takeaways. Have been a few times and would definitely go back again.

Worst tandoori I’ve had! Rice was bland and greasy.

This was our 2nd visit to the restaurant and it was just as good as the first time we went. The service was impeccable again, thanks Tony and the food was beyond amazing, again. It looks like we are going back up North permanently soon so we will only get to experience it one more time but we have recommended it ro everyone. Thank-you for, what is probably the best Indian food on the whole island

Fantastic food! Especially the Goan Lamb shank and the curry made with mango! Love the hot plate that is given to keep food warm at the table! Lovely clean bathroom, with lovely decor. Child friendly.

Really an underwhelming takeaway, we will definitely not be recommending this as there are so many good options available in the Newport area... Could have cooked a far more authentic spread myself.

Great food, good service. Would highly recommend

Absolutely perfect. The meat was tender and delicious, the rice tasty and fluffy. The naans were fresh, hot and lovely, and the curries were fabulous. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 All the way. So happy to have found a great curry house in Newport, the others we've tried have been rubbish! The Keema & Chili rice, and the Tikka naan, what a surprise! Superb!

Honestly, it's great food, but it begs the question why they haven't implemented online ordering yet.

Always an excellent experience dining here, and great value for money on Christmas day.

The food was really nice a lovely eve

Absolutely gorgeous, cooked fresh with amazing taste and authentic Indian cuisine

We are very local. We won't eat there again. Probably why it was empty on a Saturday night. It was cheap though.

Definitely the best of its kind on the isle of wight well worth a visit if your in newport, very friendly staff and food is perfect

Wow what a nice little find, a very nice quaint Indian restaurant which seems to be quiet when you pass but it’s amazing and the food is equally as nice, we got a takeaway this evening and the food was out of this world and far better than other Indian restaurants in Newport!! We will be booking a table for the authentic dine experience 10/10 highly recommend

The poppadoms and garlic chicken was good as a starter. Onion bhaji was rip off...two only for £4.5. Tandoori chicken in mains was good whereas biryani and curry was okay, not as tasty as expected. The portion size was not good as well. Not value for money.

We ordered food for 4 as a takeaway the starters were fresh and tasty. The lamb boona was exceptionally good and the chicken khari was very tasty. It’s always a gamble when you are on holiday choosing a restaurant , I can assure you that if your in the Isle of Wight and fancy an Indian meal this place won’t disappoint! Thank you bengal palace for a lovely dinner !

Staying opposite the restaurant so thought we’d give it a go and no complaints. Food good, service good and reasonably priced. Recommend a visit.

Very nice, normally had takeaways from here over the years whilst on holiday, but this time we went and sat inside and had their set meal for 4 people and must say it was very nice. Highly recommended x

Food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Friendly staff too.

We had a fantastic meal here. The spicing was spot on for our Jalfrezi and Madras mains. Everything was piping hot and excellent quality. We had the restaurant to ourselves which seems odd as the staff were very friendly and attentive. No problem recommending.

service slow, but food very good when it came

Had a very nice meal with friends. Lots of choices and cooked well. Friendly service.

Very friendly staff and delicious Indian food. Visited twice during a two week holiday whilst staying 10 miles away.

We had not visited for ages as not sure if open. The current staff don't update Social Media and only use Google to publish times. Food was very good. Going by the amount of phone calls I assume their take away food is popular. They were telling people they had to wait at least an hour too. Our service was pleasant but quite slow, due to staff constantly answering phone. The phone rings very loudly so don't go there for a romantic meal. 😊 Only suggest you go if time is not important and if a family or large group book in advance to make sure they can accommodate you. I've added up to date restaurant prices as could only find take away on line.

Stopped off by chance as we love curry, not disappointed, food was superb, staff friendly and helpful Would recommend you try this restaurant

I had never been to the Bengal Palace untll recently, but I had heard the food was good. The food IS good... once you get to order it and then receive it. However, despite booking a table in advance for 10 people, it took two (2) hours before they even took our orders. They served us drinks... and after about an hour we all got Poppadoms (though I suspect it was a delay tactic more than anything), While I understand they were doing takeaway orders.... given the fact that they knew they would also have bookings... they should be prepared to serve and accommodate the people with whom they are actually face-to-face. When it came to paying, I commented to the (apparent) owner - when he told me it was a £1.00 for the Poppadom, that (at a minimum) they should have been pro gratis... given how long it took for us to order and then get food. It is a shame... because when the food actully arrived, it did NOT disappoint. Again however... had I not been with a group of friends.. I would jost definitely have walked out and waited even an hour...one hour is bad... two hours is plain rude.

Ordered a takeaway at 7.30pm, told it would be ready for collection at 8.30pm which was OK, arrived 5mins early. 8.45pm had to try and find someone to check how much longer we had to wait, told nearly ready. Finally left at 8.55pm. Totally unacceptable, and to top it off the food was slightly below average, would I recommend, sorry but no I wouldn't.

Was alright, not busy with diner's but busy on takeaway and delivery, big choice of dishes but not quite spiced enough.

Folks...I've been going to the Bengal Palace, Isle of Wight for year's. Just had another takeaway after 2 yrs illness. Just the same. Superb food, bursting with flavour. Try the lamb chili masala. To die for. Onion bajees? Crispy outside, moist inside. I've never had a bad meal either or takeaway. Abdul, the owner is nothing but consistent.

Fantastic food excellent service. Called before to ask about delivery and they sent me a menu. Food delivered nice and hot with a friendly smile. Price was very good value for money. Highly recommended wil be ordering again very soon. Thank you for making my son’s birthday very good

Always a great curry, very good prices compared to others in the area. Would recommend.

This has got to be the worst place on the Isle of Wight avoid at all cost the service is beyond awful the Australian waiter was rude after 1 hour 40 mins we had still not received our starters. we was a table of 7 out for a birthday meal and there was only 2 of tables of 2 in there at the time.

Highly recommend this place. Again take aways busy but dine in quiet. Not sure why, we dined In and had a great meal, service was excellent. Definitely worth giving them a go. Would I go back - Yes

Although we were the only People eating here the take away side of things was very busy. What a gem of a place. The staff and service were spot on meal was delicious we will certainly be going again.

Terrible. We waited over half an hour to order a drink. We left....

You will need to go a long way to find better food than the four different meals we had at the Bengal Palace. We were a group of four, ordering dishes across the spectrum, from mild fruity and creamy, up to a pretty hot chilli-based 'chef's recommendation'. Sometimes curries can taste roughly the same, but each of our four had its own flavour and character. The service was very polite and courteous; it was early on a Thursday night, and only one other table was occupied. Because of this and the restaurant clearly having been converted from a large pub, it did lack atmosphere, but it was more than made up for by the food, and was surprisingly reasonably priced. We are on holiday on the Isle of Wight, but will certainly return to the Bengal Palace on our next trip here.

We had a lovely meal last night big sized meals nice and hot.will be going again 🙂

This place was ridiculous. Had a table booked for 7pm. Restaurant was half empty. We didn’t get our food until 9pm. No apologies given even when we asked where our food was. We would have left if we didn’t have a small child with us who needed dinner. We were hoping to have a quick dinner and head home. The food when it came was nice. The portions however were small. We didn’t get offered any more drinks after arriving. We even asked for starters and mains to come together after waiting for so long but they didn’t. We won’t be recommending it returning.

Just had a takeaway delivered, the food was absolutely yummy and delivered within the time frame estimated. Recommend to anyone visiting the Isle and will be ordering whenever we are within the area. Cannot fault the food and after all that's what you want from a restaurant - Good Food. Thanks a lot Bengal Palace.

birthday dinner curry excellent go back every time

Great place for a bit of spice in your life.

Haven't been here for a few years. Great food and very friendly staff

Food was excellent and so was the service, would definitely go there again

We have been for take aways on a number of occasions but New Year’s Day was awful Very small quantity of meat and prawns Very poor quality which was a disappointment

This is a VERY busy restaurant but they found room for us, the staff were helpful and friendly and my Tikka was Out of this world

Wow. Fantastic Highly recommend this outstanding food and wonderful people Chicken so soft and the flavours of real India.

Wonderful food wonderful service and friendly helpful staff.

3 hour wait for delivery and cold food once it arrived :(

Got a takeaway from there was really good chicken jalfrezi was lush Lamb samosas amazing Chicken tikka biryani was lush too

We’ve just had a takeaway from Bengal Palace and wow…..it was utterly delicious. The portion sizes were far bigger than we expected (we could’ve ordered far less and still been full), food was hot, and very flavourful. By far the best Indian in Newport, and...

It is good food and friendly service. I didn't eat in this time but it has been good when I have.

Called in here on spec last Wednesday for a take a way and certainly was not disappointed, one of the best Indians ever visited. Ordered Lamb Narga and Prawn Madras could not fault it the sauce thick and really tasty lamb melt in your mouth,...

On holiday and found this lovely restraunt. The food was fresh and delicious. Really lovely atmosphere and staff very friendly. Highly recommend. 👍

Great food. My favourite Indian on the island.

We ordered a take away this evening it came highly recommended so we drove from Binstead. Definately worth it, good value for money, the meat quality was fantastic and plenty of it. We will be back again thank you. All lovely but the Lamb Rogan was my favourite.

Highly recommend, the food was fantastic we will be back again thank you. Good sized portions too!! Highly recommend the Lamb Rogan.

I've been around for fifty-something years and have enjoyed Indian meals everywhere from London to Brighton to Glasgow. I can honestly say that the food I had at the Bengal Palace was among the best - if not THE best - I can remember. The...

First time eating here. Really enjoyed the food. The host was very helpful in recommending dishes. We particularly enjoyed the lamb rogan. The naans were very nice, presented very hot straight out of the kitchen. We also enjoyed the mango lassi. The restaurant was tidy...

we happened upon a quiet Thursday night, as our b & b was close by. we ordered a chicken birihami and a chicken korma, all very good. Staff were very nice and polite. Definitely recommended if you want some good indian food.

Nice food,nice staff,good price

Let me start by saying the food was absolutely delicious, one of the best if not the best Indian/Bengali food I’ve tasted. We went as a family of 20, was accommodated in a friendly manner by the owner and orders came swiftly. Downside would have...

Came with my wife, two small kids and my parents as a group of six. Was told straightaway there would be a long wait for food. Not a problem, we were ok to wait. There were two people running around struggling with taking phone calls,...

We are tourists and decided to get a takeaway from here. It was very tasty and good quality. We had korma, patia and dansak the meat, lamb and chicken, was good quality. All were the right heat and very good portion at a reasonable price. We love curry so was impressed.

Food was really really tasty. Decor needs a little TLC get rid of the local bar boys making it a pub first restaurant second. Bloke running it is trying to make everyone happy which does not work he needs a little help from his staff...

Don't look much but the food is outstanding

We came with friends group of 12 people, they have told everyone should order many course of menu , the food quality was very bad. Very disappointed by the Staff

No food quality, And the staff was too rude towards customers. I do not recommend this place for any of my friends.

Yesterday night I came with friends, it was very disappointed by the staff and biryani was not good at all.

The worst experience I have felled .

We went here for our staff Christmas do having previously been here as a family. Everyone loved it and the food came out at the same time even though it was a very big group. I have ordered takeaway from here quite late on, I believe they deliver up to 11:30pm which is handy if you've had to work late.

Really lovely food, friendly service, very good prices. Bit slow and lack any ambiance but would definitely go back again. Staff really chatty and welcoming.

Brilliant ‘traditional’ Indian restaurant. Very friendly service with a huge range of tasty options on the menu. Portion size was excellent and our choices, Dansak and Pathia, were two of the hottest and tastiest versions of this curry that we have both had the pleasure...

Had a fantastic meal here, great service great menus and fantastic food. The chefs specials were delicious - if you are looking for authentic food you won’t go wrong here

All good , Been coming to the island for ten years now for holidays this is the best one we have been in

Beautiful interior and different varieties of food with good taste

Can't rate there curry's high enough, fantastic food and A* service.

Fantastic food, we have a takeaway, it's still piping hot when we get it home, the people are so friendly & helpful, would definitely recommend this place - best on the island & believe me, we have tried them all. Well done 👏

Not the most classy of places but the food was awsome. Beer a little pricy but other than that, no complaints.

Not only does the exterior of the restaurant look awful, the past hygiene ratings of 1 says it all. It has been falling apart for years. Anyone that saying it's great, I bet they haven't been in the kitchen or upstairs.

One of the best curries I've had. Thanks you so much, will be back. I live in London, pity you aren't local to me.
