Bengal Spice in Gwynedd

Dubious start with restaurant quite empty, looking round we nearly walked out because the tables, floor and surrounds weren’t clean but we were hungry. Starters all good including mixed kebab and onion bhaji. Mains were acceptable except for two, one chicken tikka masala was too sweet just tasted of sugar and there was another chicken similar but can’t remember what it was. All others were ok but not brilliant, breads good and service good. No ice cream as part of set meal. Much better options available elsewhere.

Pretty much the standard fare for any curry house, but our meals were thoroughly enjoyable being very tasty and definitely on the spicier side. The service was fine and prices were very reasonable. Only complaint as such is the place could do with a lick of paint inside, and the frontage really does need doing up, as your are more likely to take a look and carry on walking, which is a shame as you'd be missing out on a pretty good meal.

Tried this restaurant on a Saturday night as lots of other places were a bit busy. Glad we did as the food and service is excellent. It didn't take long for the place to fill and they do a very well used takeaway service. The staff are friendly and know how to look after people. Well done Bengal Spice.

We went here after reading some of the great reviews, the food was gorgeous and the service was great.

Food was good. Delivered bill straight after eating without asking for it and were being rushed out as soon as we set our forks down. Staff were generally good and friendly but the rushing at the end soured it.

Great service and nice food - very flexible in accommodating a large number at short notice - highly recommend for big groups

INCREDIBLE. We were hesitant walking in as it was quite empty on the night we went. Probably the best curry I've had in my life. Butter chicken and onion bhajis were insane...so good that we went back for a takeaway the following night! Expected the bill to be far more expensive than it was. Can't recommend enough.

Best Indian we’ve had!! We had the butter chicken and onion bhajis… it was all mouthwatering. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend.

Great food with lots of different flavors and friendly staff. I will definitely be a doll! Thank you very much. We had a fantastic meal with lots of different flavors and friendly staff. Well be back for sure! Thank you.

Popped in here on the off chance and was first in .within half hour it was packed...very friendly staff and tasty food with excellent service.

Probably the best curry we have ever had, the waiter was very attentive and the food came out piping hot, the Cobra beer was cold and the glasses looked great, if your looking for a Curry in Caernarfon this is the place, you will not be disappointed. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Excellent Indian food, served by friendly staff. The chicken garlic was delicious. It's also licensed to sell alcohol

I had chicken tikka masala, the curry is really awesome, very tasty!!! especially when I said I can’t eat spicy, they made it sweet instead. one thing to add, is the chicken is quite dry, but it’s fine. nice customer service as well

Food was the best food i have eaten in the uk, just gorgeous, staff were very attentive and polite food was just great!

I have to say that Bengal Sipce Caernarfon has to be the best Indian cuisine I have ever had!! The restaurant has 23 years experience and the food has always been amazing here , fresh , tasty and always served with a friendly welcome. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough and I strongly suggest you give it a try because you will not be disappointed!!

Amazing spot for the most authentic food, brilliant atmosphere 5 star staff 5 star hygiene and 5 star food, Overall it’s definitely worth a trip the food is full of flavour, most Indian restaurants overwhelms their food with spice instead of flavour, but the food here the flavour was immaculate. The naan and rice perfect and the popodams are lovely with the Mango Chutney and Mint Lime pickle and Onion. The first Indian Restaurant in Caernarfon and the best! Definitely worth a trip head down as soon as you can!

Looking for a late curry after a long walk, we were initially hesitant as the restaurant was quiet. The decoration was simple but once inside we were made to feel very welcome. The food was delicious, flavoursome and fresh. The onion bahjis are definitely worth a mention. Excellent service. Recommend this place. Interesting area too.

It was our first time and I must say food was amazing service was good 👍 we will definitely be using them again top notch 👌

What a great find ! After a 4 hours drive from home. Food was delicious, lovely staff and it was reasonable priced Chicken tikka Malasa was probably the best we've had ! When we are next In the area we will be back.

Lovely restaurant, with fantastic customer service. The food was delicious and presented well. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

Amazing curry house, the first one in Caernarfon, amazing food and atmosphere lovely staff, very nice family run business, had the chicken jalfrezi as a main with pilau rice and a garlic naan, and it went down a treat had amazing flavours and spices, one of my children has a dietary requirement and they met the needs without no problem! vegan options and vegetarian, lovely lovely place and i can’t wait to go again!

The service here was incredible, I had a chicken korma and it was phenomenal, this place is a must visit thanks Ali my guy 😊

Possibly the best curry I’ve ever had! Great service, great price and the curry was fabulous. Portion size on the usual, mango, ‘yoghurty’ dip, onion etc was good and poppadum were fresh and crispy. Main portion sizes good (hot plates). Good price for Caernarfon where some seem to think it’s okay to fleece punters. Shame it’s not around the corner from me but won’t hesitate to eat here again when I’m back in Caernarfon or surrounding area.

An excellent dinner, amazing food, one of the very best. Don’t let the decor put you off. The owner is an excellent engaging host, makes you feel incredibly welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Great samosas, good vegetable dishes and really terrible chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. Don’t understand why they were sweet?!? Couldn’t taste any spices, only sugar. Really disappointed.

Had takeaway tonight and there was 3 pieces of chicken in the tandoori chicken byriani sooo disappointed...rice was delicious but expected more chicken feels like if you have a takeaway they rip you off...gutted!!

Me ,my mum and my dad came here for a meal out together, food was wonderful, staff were polite and courteous and it was a nice family meal out, would recommend to friends and family.

Gorgeous food. Would highly reccomend. Especially the Madras 👍 thanks to Ali as well for making us feel welcome

I ordered a takeaway , the staff was amazing. They couldn't do enough for you. We had some popadums and chutneys while we waited for our food, the Garlic chicken curry i had was superb, as was the coconut rice. My wifes Korma was so tasty, and plenty of it. Our pashwari naan was delicious. The food and service was quality!!!! Thank you.! Will be back soon 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻

Visited 3 times in the past few months and gets better each time , food is lovely and staff are brilliant would highly recommend.

Oh my day's. I haven't enjoyed food like I had tonight in years. Wow it was amazing 👏 chicken pathia spot on. Rogan josh lovely. Shish kebab awsome. All of it was superb. Magic in the mouth 👌

After completing the Snowden summit hike late in the evening, this place came as a lifesaver! Great food, reminded of the food back in India. The atmosphere might be a bit off putting for those who aren’t used to the ambiance of Asian restaurants, but don’t worry, the food is amazing. Good staff, and special mention to the manager who took care of our food preferences perfectly.

Staff were friendly but food was only OK.

Delicious food, served quickly and the staff are extremely friendly. Couldn't recommend more the naan bread is particularly good

A fairly shabby place but the food is very good. Been going here on and off since the 90's and always been good food

The worst Indian food we ever had

Visited whilst on holiday and wasn't disappointed. Friendly service and very reasonable price. Food was brought out quickly and was lovely. Cooked well and great portion size.

This is a small restaurant in Caernarfon but worth a visit. Good choice on the menu all at a reasonable price. Meals arrived very quickly and service was good, with all the staff were very pleasant. Decor and atmosphere of the establishment were the only things that need to be improved - quite basic, but definitely worth a visit!

We only ended up here because everywhere else was full but we were glad in the end. A really good meal - full of flavour and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended. It doesn't look like much from the outside and feels very dated inside but the food makes up for it.

Went for takeaway last Sunday night. Foods are very good and tasty. Staff very Friendly.

Food is absolutely amazing, will definitely go back next time I'm visiting caernarfon.

Ordered delivery, arrived on time and the food was delicious, will be coming back again 👍

The poppadoms where lovely I had chicken teka masala it wasn't the best watery curry and 8 pieces of chicken seemed more staff in restraunt than cooking .

Great food and generous helpings, very friendly staff. We had the lamb passanda and chicken balti and we can honestly say they were the best curries we've ever had. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Very unusual to stop in Caernarfon for tea - but yesterday was the day - we wanted a curry and the Bengal didn't disappoint - a wonderfully tasty meal with outstanding service 😀 the Chicken Tikka Massala highly recommended

We had a reservation but were being hurried from the moment we sat down. Rudeness continued throughout with all the warmth and charm, that the other reviewers are talking about, nowhere to be seen when it came to our table. Probably something to do with us choosing to order a mostly vegetable based meal (we are not vegetarians and were just choosing dishes we wanted) and no beer. When we ordered an extra naan mid-meal, the owner refused to give it to us. I have never been to a restaurant where they refuse to serve food to customers because you 'should have ordered at first'. And all curry houses I have been to in the UK and elsewhere, would give you fresh bread during the meal (also de rigueur in South Asian dining generally but let's leave that aside). When we tried to get the owner's attention to point out that the bill was missing one of the items, the owner at first refused to engage for as long as possible thinking we are complaining about something. Nonetheless, we left a tip because we are Bengali and could hear and understand the staff and the owner having a proper go at each other throughout the service. Food was forgettable and needlessly spicy though we did not ask for it to be made spicy.

Allways good food and a warm welcome from the staff,never had a bad experience either in the resteraunt or as a takeaway, i highly reccomend them

Best Indian restaurant in Caernarfon. Food was delicious and staff were very friendly and polite.

I love this Indian! It’s been a while since I’ve been and still spot on! Best dansak ever! ❤️ staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and so polite and well mannered.. really does make a difference. Food is reasonably priced and comes out super fast! Brilliant experience.. highly recommend 😌 - Emma from the Wirral

Really good food at a reasonable price (especially compared to the pricey pub food in the area). Quality and quantity both great. Highly recommend korai (a little spicy) or malaya (a little sweet). Naan seemed very fresh as well. Service very attentive.

Stunning takeaway super friendly staff highly recommended

3 of went here last night and the food was excellent. All freshly cooked and very tasty. The service was very good and we were pleasantly surprised at the bill when it arrived. This restaurant is licensed and sells large bottles of Cobra. Will certainly visit again on our next visit to Caernafon.

They are selling fake dishes at the name of Indian dishes, disgusting they are making fool to british people and even the owner said we don't allow to sit and eat Indians in our hotel because they spend less money on food but strange they are selling food at the name of indian food .

Terrible food which didn't taste fresh or high quality. Dirty tables and glasses. Large stone found in naan bread. Bad experience all round.

Great service, well presented and very tasty food at a good price. Really worth a visit.

Excellent Indian restaurant. Food was good, so was the beer. Very popular, very busy. Enjoyed it.

The food here is gorgeous. Generous portions. We had poppadoms dips a curry, rice, naan and beer worked out at £20 including tip, really good value. Very attentive, polite service. We've since had a takeaway and that seemed even more generous.

Didn’t book but was given a table instantly, food was amazing as was the service and price! Highly recommend if you visit the area

Nice place .Good food cold beer

Good traditional food offering a wide choice of meals with excellent service.

Met these guy 3 years ago at thos indian and he speaks welsh better than me

My husband And I had a lovely meal at the Bengal Spice last night. Good sized portions, great prices and a friendly service. We will be returning Thank you.

Had chicken balti with pillau rice tonight and it was honestly beautiful, my partner went for Bhuna and she said it's beautiful also, we won't go for anywhere else so obviously for us we highly recommend.

Really excellent food, polite and friendly staff, really good prices, highly recommend

Small cosy restaurant with amazing flavours

Very good food. One of the best Indian restaurants we have been to. We recommend.

Awesome place, the staff is very friendly and the food really delicious. I definitely recommend Benegal Spices! :)

Lovely food and staff. Diolch yn fawr

We had a brillant curry here last night. Well worth a visit.

Amazing food , fast service , great value Recommended

I'm bengali myself and can confirm this is 100% authentic bengali food... and cooked very well too! We know what bad curries are like 😐 The spices in our prawn, lamb and lentils curries were on point. Very decently priced too. No wonder these guys are doing well 👍🏽 Would highly recommend.

Starter King Prawn Purée was tasty. Mains chicken, lamb biryani was not tasty at all. Felt like the spices weren’t cooked properly.

Decent food but not the best I’ve ever eaten.

Great food and very friendly staff. Will definitely be returning to this restaurant

Went here for a celebratory meal for 26 of us and it could not have gone better. We had to pre order our meals obviously and it was brilliant. Service was quick and professional and the food was superb. Thanks again guys for a great evening, we'll be back soon.

Best indian Restaurant in Caernarfon. Very friendly staff and lovely food.

Food was very nice and fresh, service was quick and reasonably priced would highly recommend this restaurant 🙂

Visited there with my family. food was very delicious & service was really good 😊 👍

Great food and even better service

First time here lovely food staff worked so hard to accommodate everyone if in Caernarfon again would definitely visit

Best Indian I have ever had. The host was amazing and very knowledgeable about every dish. Couldn't fault it. Will come again when back in caernarfon x

I had the set menu for one— sheesh kebab (minced spiced meat), chicken tikka masala and a mushroom dish, naan, and coffee (I skipped the dessert). There was so much I took enough back to my hotel to eat for lunch the next day. Highly recommended!

Excellent Indian.....we love a Naga...oh its spicy & tasty. Lovely friendly staff. We love your Indian cooking x

Lovely family run business. Owners were so friendly & attentive & very proud of their business, & so they should be. Food was amazing. So tasty & decent size portions. The Bengal spice special supreme was amazing & great value for money, as was the Tandoori Chicken Bhuna. Both from the Chefs Recommendations. We highly recommend this place. Will definitely go again when we visit here in the future.

We fell upon this place by chance, great choice. Respectful pleasant family run business been going 21 years. Take away as well as resturante, clearly used by a regular clientele as everyone appeared to know everyone and were all welcomed by staff. We were first timers but treated so well. Reasonable price tasty food, if in area would definitely return.

Ordered a takeaway at 7pm to be delivered told it would be 45 mins to 1 hour rang again at 8-15pm told it would be another 20 mins. 9pm still no delivery rang and cancelled. Won’t be ordering again

I went to this restaurant last week. It is a Restaurant I never ever seen in uk. They are absolutely cheating people.

Very good food and service, waiter made effort to speak Welsh with us. Will go again, highly recommended. 🙂

One of the best place for food lovers in Caernarfon or outside of town

We decided on an Indian takeaway to take back to our lodgings in town as we had had a long day so wanted tasty in the comfort of our dinning room.We were not disappointed. Well placed in the centre of town so a few minutes walk from us.The staff were very polite and very helpful.The selection of food was excellent and what we ordered was plentiful and very tasty indeed.

Really great food. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, the decor is basic but to be honest it doesn't matter really because the overall experience is so good. Honestly the best Naan I've ever had! Very good value for money!

Went to this place for dinner tonight and was impressed with the food there. We ordered garlic nan, dal soup, vegetable jalfrezi, prawn korai and steamed rice. Everything was very delicious. Will definitely visit again.

Fantastic customer service! Really friendly and superb food. Close to the castle, walking distance from the Celtic Hotel

Ignore the decor, if you are looking for old school superb food, this place is great, the service, the speed, and the food were all fantastic, if I didn’t live in Oxford I would use this place everytime

A nice restaurant within walking distance of local hotels like the travel lodge and Premier Inn. Amazing food and great service. Very cost friendly.

I like my Indian food aromatic rather than hot. The waiter listened and brought out lovely food. Layered flavours in the curries, excellent rice and superb naan bread. Good service as well.

Excellent food. Friendly service. A nice environment. Well worth supporting this local business. It's been an Indian restaurant since 1986 and survives because its excellent. Give it a try. If you like good curry, you'll enjoy visiting this restaurant.

The quality of food is always excellent, you may have to wait a little, but it's well worth it. Order your main meal first and get some poppadums whilst you wait. Then your main meal is there right in front of you. Yum yum. The manager and staff are very helpful and always eager to please.

excellent curry with great service from friendly staff. The food came quickly and the atmosphere in the resteraint was great to. Would recommend

Top quality food and service every time, definitely the best indian restaurant in the caernarfon/bangor area. Would 100% recommend
