Bengal Spice in Belfast

Awful, waited too long and rice smelled off.

just got a takeaway waited an hour and a half the drivers never have change and 2 outta the 4 rices smelt like cat pee never order again 40 quid wasted

DISGUSTING!!! RICE SMELT LIKE CAT PISS AND THIEVING DRIVER !, delivery man is new but my order came to £19 and I gave him a twenty pound note before I could even say keep the change he just walked away with it i know its only a pound but thats cheeky also on another occasion aswell. Need to get new drivers Also takes longer than said to arrive. Won't be ordering again!!!!!

Superb food. Faultless. The restaurant is small and when we visited the staff seemed overwhelmed at times. Waiting times were a little long but not too bad for us. Other tables did have to ask a few times about when their food was coming. We had been told that there was a bar or bring you own but when we ordered a bottle of wine there was none. That said, they went out to the off licence for a bottle for us. In summary, class food but front of house a bit chaotic.

So incredibly slow would not be able to ever return. Place was not busy. Zero explanation or apologies , with almost 90 minutes to get main courses. Delivery driver in at the same time similarly waited for half eternity for a small order.

Visited this Restaurant on a Friday evening with no prior booking. We thought we might have to wait long to get seated but we got in within 5 minutes. The service was really fantastic and the food was too good but a bit expensive. The staff were all very kind and so pleasing to make us feel comfortable in every single way. Ordered Bengal special Biryani and it was served very quickly and didn't really have to wait very long. When our drinks had spilled on the table, they were kind enough to get us another drink as replacement and got to clean up the mess immediately. One of the staff also offered to give us a complimentary drink when we were done but we turned it down. Very customer friendly and definitely will visit again. It was a perfect evening spent in an unforgettable spot.

Went here today, 31st July with my husband and kids. Food was delicious and staff were lovely. We were all stuffed afterwards and they also had a kids menu available for my youngest. Highly recommend. Parking available close by down from it. My 9 year old got the chicken stripes and chips said they were delicious. Still stuffed 4 hours later... 😍🙂

It was my first time trying this restaurant and although it was very busy the staff was friendly and welcoming. The service was good and the new owner came out and welcomed us which was a nice personal touch. The food was delicious and the wait was reasonable considering how busy they were. The byo is an added bonus and the atmosphere was relaxed.. I'd have liked a bit of background music but overall it was a lovely eating experience. The toilets were spotless which for me is a good sign plus in a restaurant it reflects alot about the overall cleanliness of the place. The only criticism I have is when the staff clear a table they use a very strong detol/bleach spray and the adjoining tables with food could be effected..for me it is a bit off putting..a soap and water solution would be enough for a table clear down and then a stronger disinfectant when the restaurant closes so customers don't get that strong smell rather that the wonderful aroma coming from the food..I will definitely be returning and with just a couple of tweaks and considering it has just reopen, we had a brilliant night ..thank you.

I would love to review the food but the only problem was that it never turned up. Ordered meals for delivery at 5.59pm. Was told it would be about an hour due to being very busy and they had a promotion on. No problem I can wait. 1hr 30 min pass and I ring back and say I can go collect if that would be quicker (I only live 3 minutes away) was told driver was literally going out the door with the deliveries so I said that’s fine let him go. Now 40 minutes later still no delivery so ring again and was told that they take a maximum of 3 deliveries so he should be soon. So after 2hrs 20min waiting still no food or knowledge of said delivery. Rang back to cancel at 8.20 as it is simply beyond reason at this stage. If you cant cope with orders do not take them. Will never be near the place ever again. Best avoided

Great food. Lovely staff. Had takeaway this time. Will book a table next time

The food is just excellent and consistently good, the place has a really great atmosphere and is very clean and pleasant. The staff could not do enough for you and are so friendly and kind. Top quality.

The food was delicious from starter to our main meal although at one point the gas went off they said, it would be 10 minutes but it was more likely it was 30 minutes besides that it was a very delicious meal. Highly recommend it.

Not great at all for takeaway...poorly presented and needed reheated.Not good value at all...taste not great either I wouldn't recommend takeaway from here again.They need to up their flavours and add more meats...very disappointed to be honest

Always get fantastic food and service from this great restaurant. Mark is very welcoming and always has made sure I have a great experience. Highly recommended

Butter chicken tasted like cheese!

Just back from dinner 6 of us for daughter b day ...great service and food and they sang happy birthday..easy best Indian food I've had ☺️👌💚

Went here with my family on new years eve, ordered drinks,beer was warm, waited over an hour for our food to come out, when it came out half the order was was missing, my sons kids meal came down when everyone was finished their meal, he didn't eat it, the chicken strips were uneatable , nan breads were very small and undercooked, when we got the bill they over charged us for drinks .don't mind paying for good food and service, but this place was not, prices were ridiculous. Wouldn't recommend, plenty other nice Indian restaurants to choose from.

Myself & three friends dined hear Saturday night the reasturan was absolutely freezing

Food was eatable once reheated, but didn't receive my full delivery and the food container arrived open and leaking into the bag

Great addition to Amdersonstown. Staff couldn't be friendlier, atmosphere is relaxed, food is great.

Omg. I know we’re in a cost of living crisis but we paid full price for half an Indian meal tonight. Asked for chicken tikka patia - 5 tiny pieces of chicken which weren’t tikka. And as for the naan - half a naan? I didn’t pay for a naan which is the size of a side plate. Will not be ordering from here anymore. Insulting to your customers because your price hasn’t reduced with the portions. Bengal Brasseri on the lisburn road has maintained their portion sizes and their prices. Absolutely ridiculous.

Just had takeaway and very very disappointed. Always promoted this restaurant and recommended but not again. Naan breads were the size of a side plate & all 3 dishes ordered had hardly any meat, still tasty but not filling. Come on Bengal Spice !!!

Food was amazing, few times we've ordered from here, really is restaurant quality takeaway, you can't go wrong with it!!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THIS RESTAURANT. We phoned the restaurant a number of times to get an update on our very late food, being told it was waiting for a driver, then it had left 5 minutes ago to they had no record of our order whatsoever. The manager Mark was conveniently out at this point, and a promised phone call never materialised. After a very rude and ridiculous conversation, our food finally arrived at 10pm, 2.5hours after placing the order. Late orders and mistakes can be forgiven after an apology and attempts to rectify, but instead we were lied to and fobbed off by Mark who refused to address the situation. Pathetic customer service. Avoid

Ordered via Just Eat and I actually live relatively close however my partner has just had surgery so thought we’d order a delivery. We placed an order at 19:37 and given it’s a Saturday we expected to wait a while. Just Eat updated at 20:50 to say it had been delivered. I rang them at 21:03 and they told me it went out for delivery at 10 mins ago. My partner then rang at 21:35 and they said that the order had just come through. I then requested a refund from Just Eat at 22:00. Safe to say the food never arrived. Edit: the order finally came and we sent it back with the delivery driver. To be fair he was lovely and I think we should highlight that.

Had a mix starter, madras,tikka masala,an a rogan josh, nicest we have had in a while, well fresh an tasty,

Absolutely disgusted. Waited 2 hours for food. It was freezing when we finally got it. Over priced for what we got. Safe to say we definitely won't be using this restaurant again

2 hours for food to arrive. When it finally arrived it was stone cold and they forgot the rice and Coca-Cola I had ordered and payed for... total waste of money

Be aware - the menu has prices blacked out. Average dish is £15 (fine dining prices) the food is way below par. The prices on website are what attracted me. Felt sorry for front of house staff. Food was tasteless and way too salty.

Fantastic new app firstly , as always one of the best Indian cuisine available in Belfast can't recommend enough.

Arrived after over one hour 10 mins. Wrong order delivered and blamed the delivery driver. Owner was very arragont on phone and would not take delivery charge off bill if we re ordered. Would never use this Indian again.

We dined here on a Friday evening with a party of 10 people. We ordered all different meals, with some having dined on Indian food before and others first timers. All our meals where presented together with no one having to wait for anything. My meal was delicious and everyone else fully enjoyed theirs. The staff were fantastic and nothing was too much for them. A big thank you to them as well as the kitchen staff for cooking a great meal.

Food is still good but the last few times we have went in it is getting ridiculous they constantly overcharge now and it's not worth the hassle having to go through the bill to point out once again we are being charged extra and for items we haven't ordered or received we won't be back I don't like being robbed I'll go elsewhere from now on

Would leave zero stars if possible, we waited over 4 hours for delivery and nothing was delivered, after several phone calls to the restaurant to try to resolve this and repeatedly being told that the food was 20 minutes away every time we were left with no dinner and no resolution. Absolutely disgraceful service from the management and delivery driver. Do not recommend at all!

I ordered a collection over the phone when I arrived i received a bag of takeaway food. I arrived home and opened the containers and found it wasn't the order I placed. I returned to the restaurant to sort my order the girl told me I had be given the wring order by a make member of staff when on the premises another customer arrived and he was handed the order I had took home. I informed him that I had opened the food and received it over 30mins ago. He informed the staff he did not want it and wanted it replaced. I left with my correct order to a verbal abuse from a member of staff who proceeded to call me all the vulgar names of the day in front of customers. Total disgrace at this treatment as a customer. I will never return this was the make staffs issue whi gave me the wring order in the 1st place. I had my young son with me and this was totally over the top

The food was great, the staff were so nice, and I had a lovely time

My usual Indian I would always go to but after getting a cold meal on the weekend I rang the manager in the hope he would make this right he said next time he would give me a bit of discount so when I next called in he gave me the discount with a cheeky comment that next time I should use the Indian down the road I did confront him straight away about his comment as a loyal customer Customer service skills are shocking instead of just taking responsibility for there mistake Food normal beautiful and would have always recommended but this has totally changed my mind on there service absolutely shocking won’t be back..!!!

If you have eaten and like Indian food, you need to avoid this place. Food was rotten, overpowering taste of jerra and had to be binned, chickem also tasted of poor quality Disappointed is an understatment. Waste of £15, went in the bin.

Had the best Indian meal ever every dish was perfect and the staff were excellent 👌 will defo be back soon

Delicious food really good service will definitely be back 👍😄

Best Indian restaurant I've ordered from, top quality. Chicken tikka chilli massala is great

Had a family meal here for 7 adults 5 kids. Service was great, everyone served same time, no mishaps, very friendly and efficient, and yes, food was great. Lovely little restaurant, very informal and relaxing. All the dishes we tried were very good with their own different tastes unlike some places were it was impossible to tell the difference between individual curries. We had prawn, lamb and chicken all of which were beautiful tender and tasty. Plus a kids menu of Indian or European so everyone was more than happy

Table booked for 6.30 didn't get starter until 7 0 clock service was awful and the starter needed more sauce was so dry. The young girls were run of there feet and the main course took forever, was told there was a party of 40 coming in but that shouldn't of been more important than us we are customers too. Would not recommend and we are going to stick to India Gate in future .

Great food. Bring your own wine and beer 👍

Excellent wonderful exceptional service

Great food, friendly staff & great atmosphere. Reasonable prices

Great quality food at reasonable prices.

Top quality service and fantastic food

The food was amazing and the staff are great .Deirdre is the loveliest friendly lady couldn't do enough for us cant wait to return 😊

Amazing food and super generous with portions! Will definitely be back

10 out of 10 food and service brilliant

Amazing Indian food, service and price. We had it last night for the first time, definitely will be back. Both curries were full of flavour and just the right heat (we were even able to ask for more/less spice for our meals). The naan was gorgeous, and so were the sides. I think they even gave us an extra complementary side. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much!

Definitely wont be ordering AGAIN waiting neatly 2hours for delivery took ages to get through on the phone only to be told hasn't left yet this was at 5 o'clock

Food was absolutely delicious! The veggie dish was packed full of chunky veg, the prawn dish was packed with prawns (which is rare, trust me). And delivery was quick and the girl on the phone was very polite and friendly. Would highly recommend and can't wait for my next one!

Love this place. Well spaced out. Food is great. Friendly and Great service.

I love it food so much! Test is delicious!

Me an my girl went an the food an the service was really excellent if you love Indian food call in ill be booking again (top natch)

Great food pleasant staff we will visit again

Really disappointed with my order tonight. Ordered 2 meals, they came without rice. Their excuse was it was we ordered from just eat, if we ordered from their website we would have got rice for the SAME price. The chips we disgusting. Extremely greasy had to be thrown in the bin. Tasted like they had been recooked several times. This Indian is normally nice but tonight was horrible. Definitely my last order with bengal spice

Food tastes great, very fresh but we ordered at 8pm last night and just over an hour later still hadn't arrived, was asked "did you even order something?", why ask that then tell me "your order is probably in the latest delivery batch"?????? Food arrived at 10.35pm, needless to say the delivery driver was told to keep the cold food, disgusted.

Found the experience very good when first open. Mainly takeaway. However of late find they are cutting corners. Nan bread not freshly made. Feels like it's made then refrigerated.

Rarely write reviews Visited this restaurant 2night for the 1st time with my husband & son. Happy to say it was worth the wait! Dedicated, attentive waiting staff 👌. 🙌 to the chef & cooks for seriously good food, highly reccomend the vindaloo! Massive cheers to the cleaners for sparkly toilets 😊 Thanks To u all for all your special treats during our service 2night! We will be back

Nicest indian restaurant in Belfast!

The food was top quality & the staff were very friendly and helpful. They also put a nice reference on my plate in regards to my youtube channel which was a lovely touch. Highly recommended this place.

Found the food very satisfying and warm onarrival

I don't mind if the food arrives a bit late but what I do mind is that its cold when it arrives. Paid 45 pounds for food that needs to be heated up before its edible. The poppadoms were soggy, the mixed starter cold and very hard and dry. Reheated several times at least. Nothing tastes fresh and that's a real disappointment for a lover of Indian food. The naan bread was stone cold as well and in general it was a bad experience. My Mrs enjoyed the taste of the Korma after microwaving it. Very disappointed for this amount of money.

Lovely restaurant, good quality food at a reasonable price. Good service with a smile ☺!

🔥🔥🔥 Great Spicy food garlic chilli lamb an 🐔 jalfrezie and a bengal tapis for two which is mix veg lamb, prawns

Very slow service, had been waiting over 45 minutes for meal, brought this to the attention of waiter but still had to wait. Noisy, poor ambiance as it was noisy, needless to say wont be back Disappointed was expecting better.

We went to Bengal Spice on New Years night. We had booked for 6.30pm but didn’t get seated until 6.50pm. We waited almost a half hour for our starters and a further 35 minutes for our mains before we give up and left. I accept it was a busy night and all but the service was awful. Needless to say we’ll not be back.

Food and customer service is excellent. Great night out for everyone.

Great interior, service nice and friendly. My only critique, despite the great food would be its over salted. However, that has been the case every at every establishment I've dined at throughout Belfast. It's really bizarre!

Food was delicious, Service was second to none and staff were warm and friendly. A welcome edition to Andersonstown Road.

Fantastic food. Great service. 10 out of 10.

Great meal and excellent service

Phoned a delivery at 18.56, was told by lady on phone 30-45 mins. Still waiting for delivery. Really disappointed. Just hope its warm

Food is really good but could be in for a bit of a wait for a table. But we'll worth it.

Really enjoyed the food very reasonable prices lovely wait staff

Great food and the service is brilliant for such a busy place. Although it was obvious that management/owners gave the staff a hard time to hurry customers out the door

Top Notch Curry and Great Service

I love this restaurant! It's frendely and cosy. The food and service is always 5*

Best Indian restaurant in Belfast and I've tried most of them. I had chicken vindaloo which had massive pieces of tender chicken and potatoes - my wife had the vegetarian jalfrezi which she said was absolutely fabulous! We had chicken tikka for starters and a poppadoms with various dips - all came to £19.95 and portions are extremely generous
