Bengal Palace in Wakefield

This place is still the best by a longshot. Really authentic food in a nice setting with professional staff. It really stands out from other curry houses because of the quality of food and service.

Called in while kids at Pizza Hut not been to Bengal palace before and loved it - only had time for poppadums and mains, good sized portions and great friendly service Lovely curry will come back when back in Wakefield

Forget the rest, try the best.I have personally been frequenting Indian restaurants since 1980, Bengal Palace is one of the best in this area.The premises were refurbished a while ago and still looks like it’s just been completed, like newFood is amazingMy daughter is 16 years old and even though she loves Indian food it can be hard work finding something not too spicy, she tried paneer tikka and said it was the best thing she ever had.Service spot on and menu not overpricedHighly recommended

The whole place was buzzing and not a spare table to be had. I have visited Bengal for over 30 years and hats off to the staff as it was exceptionally hot weather. They accommodated us with a fan and worked extremely hard with smiles all round. The food was exceptional as normal the service was slightly slower tonight but well worth the wait. I cannot wait to return.

Been twice to this fantastic Indian restaurant once before lockdown and once after and both times it was amazing. The service is really friendly and efficient and staff are happy to help you choose from the menu. Not only were the curries on both occasions spot on but they do the ‘simple’ things brilliantly such as the onion bhaji and chicken pakora which were both excellent. The star of the show both times was the extra garlicky naan which was done to perfection as the photo attached shows! Will definitely be back as this has now become our go to curry house.

I visited last week but havent got around to writing a review. I am a regular here but have eaten at mose of the Indian restaurants in Wakefield. I find them all great. However, Bental Palace is the only one that gets 10/10 because the food is so consistently great. The service is always prompt, efficient and friendly. I usually eat fairly early so it is usually quiet so not sure how they are managing when it gets busy but COVID 19 measures semed good - the size of the place helps. If you like a quiet restaurant this is the place, Some of the other Indian Restaurans can seem busier and some will prefer that. It is certainly not do wo with quality of food. As mentioned, this place is huge so it would need a lot of people in to seem busy. It is alos a little off the beaten track - you wont accidentally fall in. I would really reccomend going out of your way to check them out.

Food is great and table space good too. However served by older gentleman who either had masks around his chin or not covering mouth. He got within a couple of feet many times. Most staff use masks rtf and properly. He made us uncomfortable & question returning at this time. It may not matter to you but in the current crisis it may be relevant to your choice of restaurant.

Visited here with family for my 11 years old birthday bash which was recommended to us by friends who had ate here before.The food was fantastic just like indian food should be,no powdered curry taste just pure authentic spices.Food was served piping hot,personnel and waiters were great.You were'nt hassled to get your order in quick and the place was really relaxing and chilled out.I've had many curries before and visited some good places but at this moment in time this place is very hard to beat.Keep up the good work Bengal as i will be definately be vising again really soon.

My family and I dined her for my daughter’s 12th Birthday. Had an absolutely fantastic meal, which came highly recommended by friends. The food was outstanding,authentic and delicious. The service was fast, efficient and very friendly.The staff were very clean and presentable.The toilets were very hygienic too, Thanks to all the staff for a wonderful meal, and a surprise cake. Keep up the good work guys. I will be definitely recommending this restaurant to all of my friends too xxx

Called in for family takeaway for New Years Eve. The restaurant was packed yet my takeaway was ready on time. The food was as ever excellent old school Indian . Lovely mild creamy Kormas for the ladies and a very flavoursome spicy Karahi for myself. Must also mention the fabulous Onion Bhajis and great naan breads.Staff always friendly and happy to meet any requirements and good value .

Banquet for 19 people, delivered piping hot to my home and on time. Excellent quality. All starters and curries were exceptional and there was plenty to tuck into!

Been here before, so went again, same high service, I was only person there, so very quiet, great food and service, and close to wakefield centre, parking was fine, surrounding area is a bit quiet though. Great food, and fast service

A lovely restaurant. You're always guaranteed a friendly welcome, great service; but it's all about the food, and the quality here is second to none. The 'Staff Curry' is a delight!

First timers. This must have had a refit as a real deep carpet was on the floor and there were some signs on the walls about a refit.Great mixed starters and onion bhaji were balls with plenty of real sliced onions. Main courses were very nice and plenty of choice. Good friendly service and good prices.We normally go to the royal spice in Darton which hard to beat. This was was as good as good with prices to match.

Came here in a group of 4, arrived around 11pm on a Saturday night by chance, as we decided we were hungry and this was the nearest curry house. Staff were extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Menu was extensive and the quality of the food was superb. Really good value for money too, around £20 a head to include starters and a large bottle of beer each.

We called here early evening after a visit to the nearby Theatre Royal. Being early, the restaurant was quiet and we had a choice of tables. The food was very good and all of the staff were helpful and friendly. This was our first visit, but we will certainly be back

The last three times I have dined here it has been an absolute pleasure.The staff and service are excellent as is the menu.I return for Chicken Jalfrezi which , alongside the mixed kebab starter, is a must. The depth of flavour and the subtlety of spices is remarkable. I have dined here many times with parties up to eight and everyone has been most satisfied.Nothing is too much trouble and they cater for Gluten Free diets. The restraurant decor may be looking tired but there is a price to pay for the removal of character. Such a good welcoming place.

Stayed at wakefield for one night, so chose to eat out, found this restaurant, almost in centre of wakefield, surrounding area is industrial, parking a bit tight, but great meal and really cheap, very quiet. Only £19.00 for sarter, nan, main and a beer.

Been going to this place for 30yrs (including the Rajpoot) and the food is absolute top notch and the staff very friendly. If you want a perfect Indian meal then make sure you choose here and I certainly will be doing so this Sunday and I cannot wait

Love the food at Bengal palace no complaints at all but, we called for a takeaway & realised afterwards when we were home that we were over charged for the meal, our fault for not questioning this at the time, just take care & question the amount which I should have done, would use again but would make sure I got a bill from them next time & this was checked fully before paying.

Go to the bengal palace at least once a month. This is by far the best indian food money can buy. Big menu with small prices! They will adjust any dish to suit your taste. I like very mild food and thats what i get. My husband likes spicy and he loves the food too. I recommend the mixed grill and the naan bread are second to non! Service is super quick and always polite. Love this place we will be back!

Been going to the bengal for yrs best curry house staff are so lovely all fresh ingredients as well if you haven't been you must try xx

Visited with my friends for our Christmas outing. The food was nothing short of amazing! The onion bajhis were the best i have ever eaten. The staff were great and you can tell the food is freshly prepared. Not like the rubbish served at a resraurant just round the corner that has supposed to have been awarded restaurant of the year for the last two years. Ye right, well im afraid you need to pass it over to the Bengal Palace. This is now our Indian of choice. It deserves more than 5 stars.

We called here yesterday for tea and the food was just as fresh and amazing as it was when we first visited here over 20 years ago,I have not one bad word to say about this place.No matter how many times we try somewhere new we still end up coming back here,it's definitely our favourite place to eat Indian,the food speaks for it's self which is probably why it as been going for so long

This is our favourite Indian restaurant, we’ve never found any other restaurant that compares to it. The onion bhajis are amazing. Some Indian restaurants we find the food is too salty, but this isn’t the case at Bengal Palace. Excellent food every time.

On a business trip in Yorkshire, popped into this restaurant for supper. Fantastic food. A chicken shaslick to die for. And don’t get me started on the lamb rogan josh! If you’re in Wakefield and hungry this should be your first stop.

My favourite curry house to go to with my family, and has recently become a big favourite of my friends and colleagues after my glowing reviews. Always delicious and fab service too, it never disappoints :)

Absolutely amazing food !!!! Best Indian meal in ages. Staff very friendly and helpful and gorgeous surroundings. Definitely will return !!!

Best indian food i have ever eaten. Portions very good size. Starters are my favorite and such a large variety of choice. Veggi dishes, chichen, fish?? Take your pick all are amazing. Service always very polite.

Amazing food. Simply stunning flavours. I can't believe it has taken me so long to find this place! Will be back!

My husband and I visited here on the recommendation of a friend. I think the friend must have been drunk when they ate here as this would be the only time that this place is acceptable after a night out on the beer when you want a curry before going home.

Went here for the first time, didn't really know it was there, have tried most Indian restaurants in our 10 years here and seen them come and go. What a lovely meal. The chilli chicken was delicious, as was the whole meal. We are going to try a takeaway from there next time, but will be in the restaurant again very soon. Very pleasant and efficient staff, only down side was where it is, not in the best spot in Wakefield, but food excellent, would highly recommend.

First time I've visited this restaurant having stayed in Wakefield on many occasions over night in my truck.

What can I say? Bengal Palace is the only curry house in Wakefield I would order from. Its also the only curry house my parents, partner and friends would order from! The staff are lovely and welcoming--even if youre just popping in to collect a takeaway--and the food is unreal. So delicious! I'm not a big spice lover so if you're like me, go for a balti. Its unlike any balti ive ever had before. The lamb is cooked beautifully. What a wonderful establishment. Keep doing what you're doing!

Been here twice now and both times have been amazing! The garlic chicken is gorgeous - generous portions and friendly staff. Booked for Christmas Day!

Booked for a party of eight,service is excellent,food was excellent also,had a really good night partly because the meal was so good

Went to Warehouse 23 to see a band, this restaurant is right across the road and was recommended by the door staff at the venue .

We visited after a trip to the theatre. It was a good curry with big portions, although not the best Indian food I've had. The service was also top class.

We went there as a family with our 6yr old daughter. She doesn't really do spicey food so she had some traditional English food (omelette, beans, chips).

We have been eating at the Bengal Palace for ages. The food there is second to none. The spices and seasonings are superb, I'm never disappointed with my meal.

We go here regularly always enjoy it never a bad meal the staff always take the time to speak to us but not in your face and leave you to eat your meals.

Visité este lugar personal excelente comida excelente y nuevamente grandes porciones y no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros este era nuestro 50 ª visita y el servicio y la comida eran tan genial como la primera vez. . . . . . . . enhorabuena a los propietarios y personal de este fantástico restaurante tienen ahora también Los budines calientes agregadas al menú y la mermelada de roly poly es para morirse. . . . . Nos vemos pronto.

My partner n I had a mixed starter for two, the lamb chops were beautiful, pickle tray was good, both curries were lovely and full of flavour. One tiny little thing was my king prawns were a tad over cooked in the curry. Really can't fault the place and service was second to none.

A group of 20+ of us went here for my friends birthday (pre booked) on a Saturday night. The waiters gave us our own little area to sit spread over 3 tables. The food came out hot, fresh and at the same time - quite impressive for a large group. I had fish to start and it was delicious and cooked & presented beautifully.The beer is quite expensive but that's to be said for most places like this. The food is cheap so it makes up for it. The place itself is quite unusual as it's so big so looks quite empty, its not an 'intimate' restaurant type place. The lighting is also quite bright, rather than 'mood' type lighting you normally get. Over all I'd definitely go back to try the food again.

Love this place, went last night and had the best curry that I have had in a long time. Poppadoms were lovely and light and not greasy. Onion bhaji was, light and crispy. I had a chicken biryani, this is my favourite dish and in some restaurants it comes with an omelette on top. I asked the waiter if I could have it with the omelette and it was not a problem. The food arrived and it was beautiful as to was the garlic naan bread. My husband had a keema chicken madras which he loved. This place is a hidden gem in Wakefield, lovely food and excellent service.

visited Friday night after a trip to pontefract races. Very quiet at 9.45pm when we arrived. This is a big place that can hold plenty of diners and was nice and cool after a red hot day. Staff friendly and welcoming. A pleasant chap took and served our order and service was prompt and efficient - I won't call you sir again when I next visit! I asked for my curry to be made hot which they did without spoiling the taste as happens in some places and it was up to my high standards. 2 draught lagers and 2 mains with pilau rice and a portion of chips came to a very reasonable £26. Newer restaurants are a plenty in our city but this one can more than hold it's own.

We had been on a works do and after a few drinks called at the Bengal Palace just because it was near. We had a warm welcome from very courteous staff. The onion bhaj was massive we split a portion between three of use, we then went on to have three different currys, two different naans chips and rice which we all throughly enjoyed. The restaurant was quiet but the food and service was great and very reasonable price too.See you again soon

The place was very quiet when we went, but the staff were very pleasant. The meal for both of us was very good, both starters and main courses. The wine was good, which was a surprise because sometimes in curry houses the wine isn't always palatable. This was our first time, and we will definitely give it another go at some point.

Great place to et in Wakefield. People overlook it but i think it needs to be visited because its better than most.

Just ordered a takeaway from Bengal palace absolute stunning , ordered for 7 pm came at 7 pm the food was 100 % best Indian I've tasted in along time ordered shami kebabs to start and chicken tikka garlic , you could taste all the flavours apsolute stunning and the garlic nan was amazing ,very polite on the phone thank you so much Bengal palace spot on ,one happy customer

The decor is very dated and really needs to modernised to meet the high standard which Wakefield is striving to get. However the food was lovely and really a good price and the service was brilliant compared to the chaos we experienced at LaLas. Definitely go back

We were let down by Lalas, waiting half an hour for a pre-booked table, whilst other were coming in off the street and being seated straight away , without booking. We finished our drinks then went around the corner to Bengal Palace, where we were seated immediately.We were already familiar with the menu & the staff, as they had previously been at Raj Poot, until it closed.We ordered from their package deal, which includes pretty much everything on their menu.The food as ever was superb, all five of our party ordering different dishes. We couldn't have found fault with anything. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating.If you want good quality, good value Indian food and don't want to feel that you are paying for fancy decor and staff uniforms, then you won't be disappointed

Went last week was so disappointed will not be going back we were the only ones in and it stunk of foist the starters was okay although the chicken chat was dry the curry was dry and the garlic man was the worst ever 2 out of 10

Been to this place many times since raj poot shut down. This is the best indian food you can find in wakefield. Garlic Chicken tikka, onion bhajis and amazing garlicy naan breads. All excellent. The staff are all very friendly and will adapt dishes to your taste. Do yourself a favour and book a table here you will not be disappointed! We will be back.

Booked for Xmas lunch couldn't fault it in any way food was excellent atmosphere was great there was no rush plenty on the menu' under £20 per person will be booking again next Xmas we fetched some friends with us they really enjoyed it &the staff are great it's a must try if you haven't been x

Went Saturday night with friends originally going to Bollywood Lounge but it was closed. Friendly welcome staff but a large place with not much atmosphere. Decor a bit tired but most Indians are. Meal ok quite tasty but a bit cold it had clearly been hanging around before it had been brought out. If I had been alone I would have sent it back to be warmed up but as I was with friend I hadn't met for a while I didnt want to create a fuss. Having said that the food was tasty.

This has been trading under various guises since the late 80's (India Palace etc. etc.)The food is consistent and good quality, the staff are friendly and the seating is spacious and well kept.

Great service and excellent food! The only thing is in my opinion the décor needs to be up-dated as it could look wonderful (don't let that put you off at all). The food, service and atmosphere was splendid.

Ate here after a gig at warehouse 23 across the road. Had my usual choice of starter and main to be able to compare to others. The food here was excellent, and loads of it ! Very friendly service and even though it was late no rush to finish, which was really good of them. Definitely recommend.

Had a take away from here as our usual the raj poot had shut down. Had onion bhaji, chicken tikka, chicken chat, garlic naan all extremely tasty as easily as good as the raj poot. We will deffinatly be back and would fully recomend this place

Been meaning to review this place for a while now. Stays open a bit later than the not-as-good-as-it used-to-be Bollywood Lounge next door so you can usually see the last of the live music at The Hop or Bull & Fairhouse before venturing Bengal-ward. Never disappoints, good food and good service. Even on a mid-week night if you let them know you're coming you can usually get a meal quite (very?) late for a school-night. New competition (but hardly town centre) withe the Royal Spice in Wrenthorpe but if you're in town this is the best IMO. Bit too big, so not really a place with " atmosphere" but for the food & service, NO' 1.

Excellent food and service. Plenty of mango chutney, onions and dips with the popodoms. Great range of dishes including some English dishes for non curry eaters. Very nice restaurant.

We (three friends) called in for a Sunday evening meal after a festival over the road at Warehouse 23.Lovely menu, excellent service, great value and really nice food. Back for sure next time.

Located down Smyth Street, Bengal Palace isn't exactly in the centre of town, neither does it have an imposingly restaurant frontage. These are not reasons for passing by because, as I found, really good Indian food is available, as the reviews on this site attest. I know that in recent years, before becoming the Bengal Palace, and under different owners, the restaurant had a mixed reputation. However, about a decade ago, the current occupants, who also own Rajpoot, ran a restaurant from the site, so they know what they are doing and are keen for the people of Wakefield to sample what they are offering.The main dining room is quite large and there is a discrete bar set back in an alcove. The restaurant is not lavishly decorated, but the décor, table settings etc. are more than acceptable.I ordered the mixed starter, a generous portion of well-flavoured, but not overly spiced pieces of chicken tikka and lamb plus a kebab. All served with fried onions and plenty of yoghurt sauce on the side. I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. For mains I ordered lamb nargha, which the menu warned me had a kick; my guest had chicken pasanda, as a change from korma. We ordered chapatti as an accompaniment. My nargha was a really good choice, large pieces of cubed lamb in a thick, pungent and spicey sauce. The pasanda was good too, delicately flavoured and much less creamy and sweet than korma. Curry is a very personal thing. There are some places around Wakefield and the surrounding area that get excellent reviews and where there is nothing at all wrong with the dishes other than they are not to my taste. Similarly I think there is a difference between the dishes from Kashmir which feature heavily in offerings from this area, and more traditional style Indian food for the Brits. I would put the Bengal Palace food in the last category and it certainly suits me.If, what I have written chimes with you, why not give your current Indian a break and try Bengal Palace, prices are reasonable, the staff are friendly and efficient and the food is very tasty.

Nice quiet restaurant with a lovely family atmosphere. We were warmly greeted & seated immediately. After we had ordered our my wife felt a chill from one of the Windows, the staff instantly offered to close the window or offered us a change of table, nothing was too much trouble.The food & drink were excellent & the staff were very Friendly & polite

I booked a table the day before clearly stating I wished to use my Gourmet Card and I was told there was no problem. On arrival I repeated the statement and again was told no problem. When we were given menus we were told our card was not accepted but another inferior offer was available. We accepted this as it was raining and we were not aware of an alternative.

We visited the Bengal Palace this evening and were very happy with our meal. The service was good, the atmosphere was relaxed with plenty of other customers to create a pleasant ambience. It has to be said that the food was great, plentiful portions and well cooked. The naan bread was light and fluffy the curries delicious. Thank you, we will return.

We went for a meal here on Saturday night we had not booked but they found us a comfortable table near the small bar. The waitress who's name I cannot remember was very helpful even when I dithered over what I wanted, we had 5 different dishes all of which were very nice not overly greasy as they can be in some Indian restaurants. Overall a good evening out.

Wakefield isn't top of my list for a great curry so I wasn't expecting much from this well hidden establishment. I visited on a warm Monday evening and the place was almost empty. I received a warm and humorous welcome from the proprietor - who said he might be able to fit me in - and was shown to a table. Drinks were offered and taken. Cold Cobra from a large bottle.The food was good. I had King Prawn jalfrezi which was hot, sharp and tangy. There was a good balance of ingredients - loads of prawns - and the accompanying rice and nan was just as it should be. Staff were interested but not intrusive.My only reservation is the volume of the musical backdrop. The place is huge and the restaurant virtually empty but the sounds added little to the atmosphere. What happened to being able to chat over a meal without lip reading?That said, I will go back again...and enjoy it once more.

As a curry lover I've tried all of the supposed 'best' curry places in Wakefield and I have to say that this place beats them all. Open very late fri/sat night which is a rarity with a decent curry house these days. Staff and management are very friendly and know how to handle diners that are in drink (never me of course........... Hic ), food is top notch and prices are reasonable. It's a fairly large restaurant and I'm always surprised it's not busier than it is when we go. Only thing I can think that lets it down here is location which is slightly out of the limelight of the town centre (though only 2mins walk away).A real quality curry house that hasn't let me down yet! Highly recommended

We went there last night around 6:20PM and tried to use their 25% offer which was advertised on their leaflets which was sent yo our house.The food was OK and the staff were friendly, when we got the bill and tried to use the 25% offer coupon, the guy went really quite and upset. Not sure why as it was on all their take away leaflets. He then said that we should have booked the table before hand to benefit from the coupon. There was only one other couple in the place at the time, Any way her came back with the revise bill and he knocked off a new pounds. He then refused to speak to us. Very strange. Although food was OK, but we will not be going back.

Have just left this restaurant and couldnt wait to leave a review because the food was delicious- seriously got to be the best curry I've ever eaten.The 2 waiters tonight added value to our visit! Really impressed and I hope more people seek out this hidden gem in Wakefield- it beats all the other Indian restaurants around in my opinion.

Wakefield has a lot of Indian restaurants now but this is still the best one. Others simply don't reach the quality or value of the food here. Highly recommended

Loved this place when it was India Palace, and found out when we visited it a couple of weeks ago its the same guys running it, with a new name, Bengal Palace! What great food and lovely guys, definitely the best Indian food in Wakefield, just had the best takeaway I've had for years, welcome back guys, see you every week now!

Returned again to this restaurant and i just cant praise it enough sid and ali and the chefs just excell more and more everytime we go back, they go out of there way that much that they listened to what i like and created my own special curry why not visit and give it a go (robs creamy special) great food, great staff and overall a great restaurant

Lovely and spacious. My wife and I got there early. We were greeted at the door and taken to a table of our choice. The food was premium quality. Very impressed. The service was friendly and genuine. Overall I couldn't recommend any higher.

The Bengal Palace restaurant has been around in Wakefield for many years. a large building with both private and on street parking it stands off the main street in one of Wakefields many side streets. However it is well worth seeking out.its a very large restaurant serving the usual variety of Asian cuisine. with its size it allows the tables to be well spaced apart so you are not listening to the next tables stories!The staff are very polite and helpful and for anyone not familiar with Asian food will direct you and your pallet accordingly.we visited as a party of 5 friends at 8pm on a busy Friday night and were immediately seated and our orders addressed. The menu is extensive and dishes will/can be tailored to individual diners tastes. The service was both speedy and professional.prices are very reasonable and food quality brilliant.i have no hesitation in recommending the Bengal Palace - its well worth seeking out you will not be disapointed

I went to Bengal palace expecting a mediocre meal, I was pleasantly surprised as the food was really tasty, I will be going again soon and hopefully our search for a good curry in Wakefield is over. The atmosphere was pleasant and good company, you can't really want much more than that,

I went here this evening for the first time and was very impressed. The restaurant looked clean and welcoming. There were four of us and we all ordered different dishes. We had to wait a short while for our main courses but it was well worth it. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will be recommending this restaurant to our friends and visiting again ourselves in the near future. Good sized portions of very tasty food. The staff were very, very friendly and efficient.This is now my favourite place for curry in Wakefield.

This is a fantastic place to dine , The staff are polite and welcoming & the food is amazing.You can request that the chef make your currys as hot or as mild as you like and that certain ingredients to be added or left out of your choice of curry & if your not feeling too social you can order for home delivery. The food hear is not to be missed, I've eaten all over yorkshire and this food is fantastic it really is . Me and my partner eat hear all the time and order for home delivery , This is our once a week treat that we just cannot do without.

I would Like to thank Sid and al for looking after all 12 of us every single one in my team and myself were very very impressed and everyone commented on how nice the place , the food and the staff were looking forward to the same next year thanks and merry Christmas from a very happy customer

A month ago my wife & I went up to Yorkshire to pick up a Weimaraner puppy from a dog kennel, we spent the night in a Travelodge & decided to go out & have a curry in the nearby town, we came across the Bengal Palace in the town centre of Wakefield, we noticed the prices were a little high but what the hell. From the moment that we arrived we noticed that the staff were very polite & friendly, we were escorted to our seats & were told to take our time & should we have any questions with regard to the menu we were to ask them, being an avid lover of curry's we knew exactly what we wanted, my wife had a medium hot chicken curry & I had a lamb madras, this was accompanied with Bombay potatoes, & Bhindi Baghi (okra) we had a Peshwary Naan as well as Poppadum's & pickles, we also had Indian ice cream (Kulfi) & Coffee to finish off this excellent meal, I have mentioned that the prices were a little high but I can tell you that it was worth every penny & the quantity of food that they gave us was so large that we asked for a doggy bag which we polished off when we got home the next day.I can heartily recommend this restaurant for being friendly & good value for money, so what are you waiting for give your taste buds an extravaganza of taste, by the way our beautiful Weimaraner has settled in & we have fallen in love with him!

Customer service is outstanding - catered to every whim. All are very polite and happy to help. Food is amazing!! My mum has a wheat intolerance and made sure we knew everything on the menu that had gluten in! Can cook any curry that you want even if not on the menu! 10x better than Bollywood lounge. The location lets them down as everyone goes to bellwood instead - which to me is not as good. Will visit again :)

Fabulous Indian much overlooked. Our Indian of choice tried all of them in Wakefield and the main ones in Leeds and Bradford, but the Bengal remains our number one choice. Food choice and value can't be beaten and staff very attentive. Can be slightly lacking in atmosphere sometimes with few customers but don't let this put you off your in for a treat. Never had a bad meal or been disappointed. Always go for all our family celebrations and New Years Eve.

They do my favourite tandoori mixed grill here and I have to say it was fantastic. We've only been once but we'll definitely be back for more.Staff helpful but not in your face, toilets and facilities clean. Prices are about average.

We attended here tonight (23-10-2015) on a voucher deal. First of all the staff are brilliant, very friendly and are attentive. The venue is very nice, tidy, clean and well lit. I had the Royal mix kebab starter and then the special biryani, absolutely gorgeous, My Mrs had the Chicken Chat and Lamb Massala. Even the pickle tray was one of the best we have ever had. Would recommend and will go again. Many Thanks to the staff.

A very much under-rated restaurant that delivers consistently good dishes. The place has gone through several name changes and staff over the 22 years since I first discovered the India Palace as it was known then. The staff have always been friendly and the service and food excellent. The prices are similar to all the other restaurants in Wakefield and beyond but the portion sizes here will satisfy the hungriest. They also do a takeaway service and the portion size and standard are the same as dining in. Thoroughly recommended!

This is one of the best restaurants in wakefield big portions excellent food excellent staff and couldn't do enough for us this was our 2nd visit and service and food were as great as the first visit ........well done to the owners and staff of this fantastic restaurant

My wife and I visited the Bengal Palace in Wakefield for the second time on the evening of Friday, 21st August 2015. It is behind the Bollywood restaurant on Smyth Street; its easily missed as its relatively plain exterior doesn't draw your eye to it. That said, the restaurant is clean and spacious, and in my opinion tastefully decorated and furnished, I personally don't need ostentatious fake decorations.Both my wife and I had a mixed kebab starter which consisted of a sheek and shami kebabs, a samosa and onion bhaji all were hot, and appropriately spicy; we loved them - a meal in itself. My wife had a chicken biryani for a main course which she thoroughly enjoyed. I asked the waiter if I could have my favourite dish which is not (I don't think) on the menu; a chicken & keema madra. The waiter had no hesitation in accommodating my request. The food was served hot and was as good as I have had anywhere. We finished with a nice hot coffee. I ordered a couple of beers during the meal which were served quickly. When I asked for the bill it was provided within a couple of minutes.The staff were appropriately friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable. We will have no hesitation in visiting the restaurant again. They also provide a takeaway/delivery service which we will avail ourselves of in the not too distant future.

We should have known when we walked in at 8pm on a Saturday night and the place was totally empty that this was not going to be good. As we were the only 2 people in the restaurant at the time the service was good to start with and the waiters very attentive but later on a couple of other tables were taken and the staff then ignored us. I mentioned that my lamb main course was chewy and tasteless and I was offered chicken instead but I refused as I only like lamb curries. Even though I didn't eat my meal I was still charged full price and nothing was offered to compensate. We asked for the bill but it never came and we had to go to the bar and ask again as we had booked a taxi. No apology was given at this time for the main course being inedible, in fact it wasn't even mentioned they just took our money and we left very disappointed with the whole experience. We will definitely not be returning!!

calling in too give it a try from our usual place, not a great choice.we were the only ones in when we arrived, so service seemed good but as we were the only 2, it had to be, but when by the time we were leaving 4 tables were to been looked after it changed. struggled to get a second drink and had to ask for the bill twice and then gave up and went to the counter to pay.half of the starters were nice my wife found her's a bit too hot.the main course arrived not as requested and looking a little cold. mine was ok but not over tasty, but the lamb part was very fatty and tough, not nice at all. my wife had ordered lamb and was not nice at all.. we did bring it to their attention with an offer of changing it to chicken, but when you ask for lamb it should be tender and not full of fat. when the bill came the poor meals were not taken off, or any mention of the problem.. its a very nice restaurant inside with nice decor, but the food has to match. we were not offered coffee or any desserts. wont be hurrying back, didn't have the feel to make a good night out..

WE WERE GREETED WITH A FRIENDLY SMILE AT THE BENGAL PALACE AND SHOWN TO OUR TABLE, THE DECOR OF THE RESTAURANT IS BLAND, TOO MUCH CREAM PAINT, LACKING INDIA'S VIBRANT COLORS, SO THERE WAS NO ATMOSPHERE. The starter i chose was the Royal mixed starter and looked good, but the lamb was more like mutton, very tough and under cooked. The main was chicken and garlic Balti, and tho it was tasty, it was also lukewarm.There were no meal warmers on the table and by the time i transferred my curry to the plate, it was almost cold, my friend said the same was true of her meal. The naan was in contrast absolutely spot on, hot fresh and tasty, one of the best i have eaten, the service was good, but the above failings mean, i will not return. At school they would have said "must try harder". to learn is to succeed.

We visited Bengal Palace on Saturday evening after purchasing a deal online from Living social, really glad that we did come across it.The guys were really pleasant and friendly from walking through the door as was the service throughout our meal.The food was VERY good, there is lots of competition in Wakefield for Indian food but this was definately one of the nicest curries that me and my partner have had in a long while, very fresh and very tastey, id probably go as far as saying the best nan bread iv ever had :o)We will definateley be paying Bengal Palace another visit along with family and friends!

we have eaten here on a couple of occasions both with and without our children and have found it to be exceptional food and service. Very delicious food, extensive menu good friendly service, if a little slow, but this is in no way detrimental to the overall experience.

We attended this restaurant as purchased via livingsocial deal. Done a few of these at other eateries. Some not great, some brill. This was a brill meal. Staff were great and very attentive. The food was quality and well spiced. We ordered a staff lamb curry and a chicken Tikka Balti. Well balanced and fresh. A bottle of wine was £12 and a pint just under £4.The place its self is huge but sadly not many customers. Come on give this place a go. It is well worth a visit. We travelled 20 odd miles and hope to make it a regular place to eat. We parked outside the venue which is free after 6pm. Its clean and well furnished and deserves lots of regular customers. We hope trade picks up because this really is one of Wakefileds hidden gems which needs to be patronised by the wider public. Give it a go, you wont be disappointed :)

I went here, with family, for the first time last night. The food was excellent - the best Chicken Chaat I've ever had (and I've had a few) - and the staff were very friendly and attentive.There weren't many other diners, which is a great shame considering how good the food is, it should be a lot better known and much busier.
