Bengal Spice in St Albans

Wow had the most amazing mixed grill last night and my uncle had the most amazing lamb chop probley one of best I've ever had what a lovely guy serving us aswell

Best curry I’ve had from you, royal chicken tikka, thank you

Changed delivery time food was freezing cold

food felt cold had to reheat not good with chicken,nann bread very doe ...poor show this time.

This restaurant is out of this world!! The food is always amazing and brightens up our evening. Hassan the manager is always very helpful and well spoken. It's a must try and I highly recommend :)

The food at Bengal Spice is always great, particularly the hot dishes. We order every week and look forward to it!

Delivery on time but food terrible. Dishes overly packed out with onions and plum toms with barely any edible meat. Mild dishes were xtra hot, didn't bother finishing it. Won't be eating here again, one of the worst curries ordered.

Thanks very much for bringing the food at late hour. Much appreciated. Regards, Kishore

although it was late I was informed it would be, the bindi was not up to the usual standard not very nice at all dark in colour and tastless I usually love it not this time, if it carries on like that want be ordering it again.

Really excellent, tasty and hot!

We love this place it’s always top for us tastes amazing fast service and good for your money. Pa my teenagers best

First time ordering from here and we were impressed, nice food, quick delivery. Thank you!

What we received was good but didn't get the 4 poperdoms we ordered phoned the restaurant and they will sort it next time we order hopefully.

Very pleasant atmosphere inside, promptly seated and served. Food was excellent, had onion bhaji and lamb chops - very very tasty. If the restaurant reads this - you need to start stocking 0% beers - but that didn't spoil the enjoyment of the restauarnt and the food. Recommended!

I ordered at 6:40pm this evening and the order didn’t turn up until after 8pm, over an hour after I’d ordered it!

Bengal Spice 6 St. Brelades Place , is in the Jersey farm area of St. Albans. Not to busy in restaurant , nice and warm inside and was promptly seated and drinks order taken a few minutes later. like most places phone orders always being taken so service was not to fast as only one person front of house, but he very polite an apologetic . we did not mind as no rush for us. Food served was good , minor gripe was sauces with poppadoms seemed watered down. otherwise really good food all round. Would def return.

Chicken Biryani and Tandoori chicken is very good....but Lamb Royal Tikka Masala is sweet and not at all expected sweetness for Non-veg. We expected it to be spicy otherwise the food delivery and quality is good.

spot on! best curry me n my Mrs have ordered from st.albans/Hatfield/wgc....keep up the good work chaps.

Excellent food….five star rating for Fish curry

Food was lovely, best indian ive had so far in St Albans, driver was quick and polite, great service overall

the butter chicken wasn't delicious

everything was good but the lamb was hard and dry.

Generous cuts of meat in tasty sauces. It’s the first time ordering from here but we will definitely order again as it was one of the best curries we’ve had in a long time.

Best one yet, incredible food thank you

As always - a great meal, served hot!

The food was excellent quality, and the delivery was prompt and delivered in a friendly manner.

The food was delicious! It all arrived piping hot and on time. I’ve always had a good experience with Bengal Spice, which is why I keep going back!

The food was damaged and crushed.

Not very nice at all. The naan was supposed to be garlic and I received chilli, could barely eat it. Ordered a chicken tikka masala, what I received was nothing like a tikka masala at all. Korma was thin consistency, almost see through. Unfortunately not what I was expecting.

Delicious and friendly delivery

Tasty food. Good value. Delivered on time.

Not our favourite. This is the first Indian takeaway we have had that wasn’t great. It was our first order here, we usually go to one in Brookmans Park. We ordered 2 x tikka, 1 x Jalfrezi, 3 x mushroom rice and 1 x garlic naan. The tikkas were bland and brown - see image. The rice was also bland, we usually love mushroom rice. The jalfrezi was standard but the chicken was a bit tough. The naan was great flavour but quite small. Order arrived on time and the man was really lovely but the food is just okay. We probably wouldn’t order here again, sorry guys.

Perfect as always. Can’t fault anything. 5* from us 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

My favourite local restaurant, food is always great and the service is fantastic and very friendly.

Absolutely delicious again, not been disappointed yet 😊

For our takeaway, we ordered a starter of butterflied prawns, deep fried in breadcrumbs for £7.99. We were expecting 5. We got one ( photo below). And it was dry and encased in thick orange breadcrumbs.When I referred to this on their Facebook page, I was told that I had powered the wrong dish and that dish only had 1 prawn. Really? For £7.99? The,tandoori chicken was mediocre and the chicken biriani had virtually no meat in it. A deeply disappointing waste of nearly £30. I would steer clear of this restaurant in future.

I Will never be ordering again food is so inconsistent. tonight’s food was so bland £40 wasted

Ordered poppadoms x5 but missed out of the order plus food was not hot been going to you for long time...sorry to say very poor this evening

spend over 70 quid and get one poppadom how tight is that.

I can confirm that the food here is most excellent.

Excellent food, excellent service, best Indian we found found in the area.

The food at Bengal Spice is really delicious. They have all of the standard menu items and lots of chef's specialities. The staff always go out of their way to make our visit a happy one. We like to eat here or get a takeaway regularly.

The food is good but don't seem to be able to get the delivery time right, this is not the first time it's been early, told the delivery driver he said he will tell them don't know if he did.

Fantastic as always thank you ☺️

Cling film in rice & chicken was pink

Although everything was lovely one of the food was not what was ordered it was something different .

When we received our Indian it wasn’t up to temperature it was Luke warm and the sauces in the madras didn’t have depth they were very watery … the Bombay aloo had no flavour …. I’m not one to complain but it’s the first Indian that I’ve not been impressed by ….. normally my husband orders from the bengal spice in Hatfield but I ordered not realising this was the bengal spice St Albans …. Well sadly dissapointed as bengal spice Hatfield is top notch … definitely won’t make that mistake again …. Sorry no offence just know our curries

Food is very bad in taste , it is getting foul smell

Ordered the meal for two and I had specially called the restaurant and even left a note for the food to be spicy but it was not spicy at all.The chicken tika masala and bombay aloo was nothing but sweet very disappointing.However the lamb rogon josh was too good just wish it was spicy tho still.

It's not the first time it's been early, don't mind 10 mins early prefer it to be a bit more on time

Our local always produces a great meal and it's nice to support a local business.

Was delicious. Really good portions and value for money

Unfortunately the food was not as expected, too much potatoe not enough spinach in the Sag allo, Rogan was far too spicy. Breads and rice perfect.

Food arrived hot on arrival and tasty dishes! Would love to see more paneer dishes on the menu as being a vegetarian, options are quite limited but overall very nice!

What can I say. Absolutely amazing. I've used you guys for several years now when we get the chance to treat ourselves. In my view the food gets better and better (if possible). Looking forward to the next meal 🤤

Food arrived stone cold, the second time this has happened from the restaurant, and JustEat are refusing to refund.

I order from this place once sometimes twice a week, always great food, tonight’s order was awful. Tasteless, and got my order wrong, none of it was hot. Such a disappointment! The only good thing was the popadoms. Thanks

Very tasty Bangalore curry, not really that hot, but enjoyable 👍

We eat here regularly, as local restaurant , food always good and very tasty , good quality ingredients staff very friendly , good value

Delicious madras but the lamb chops were a bit too tough

First time, and we’ll worth the money, food and service, recommend

I last ordered in December 2022 and the same dishes in February 2023 taste quite different, they have less flavour and less spice.

Nan bread seems to have halved in size!

Good food nice portion size good and delivery driver was very polite and on time

Lovely curry really enjoyed 5*

First time in two years we have ordered from here and we weee very impressed! Very quick delivery, food warm and very tasty and delivery driver was very friendly. We will definitely order again 👌👌

The driver was very rude and threaten to not deliver my food all because he couldn't locate my property and didn't like the fact I questioned why he didn't follow the instructions I had provided. The food was lovely however I am put off ordering again because I do not want to have rude driver's being unpleasant and saying they don't care if I've called the restaurant to complain. The driver lets you guys down big time - what a shame.

Unfortunately food was late and cold. It’s the first time I’ve had a cold meal from them. Food was nice once I reheated, would still use them again

Pleasent delivery driver and nice food. Can't ask for more really.

Food was really nice overall (well flavoured and a good temperature!) however, incorrect curry was received.

Really tasty food, very friendly delivery driver - would definitely order again

We had a big bash there last week for a 50th celebration which was brilliant. The food all came out on time, hot, and very very tasty. We are regulars and would thoroughly recommend you having a visit!!

Order was ready earlier than expected. Food was delicious 😋

Very bad quality, shouldn’t be here , very upsetting

Great quality, quantity and flavour. Would definitely recommend! 5*

This was just wow , delicious , full of flavour and just yummy . Good quality , thank you

Tikka masala was sweet :( , Kasundi had tikka pieces instead of chopped chicken as mentioned. No salt and everything mild, despite spicy description. :(

Best Indian restaurant around top quality food

couldn’t complain even if i wanted to, the taste the portion sizes are all spot on

Friendly polite helpful staff, good food, good service

Excellent food plenty of it will order in the futue again

Lovely food and glad food was early

OUTSTANDING! Food came QUICKLY. I don’t think I have ever been more HAPPY. Thank you SOOOO much. For making this a great evening 😉

Very tasty meal and very good quality. We have been a little disappointed on the odd occasion in the past, with some dishes being far too oily, but for a long time now the food has been consistently good. Friendly staff.

Love the food! Best Indian around

Really lovely, tasty food and a kind, helpful delivery man bringing the food. An excellent experience all round.

Great good as always great service and never left any! Order here every other week 👍

Lovely curry- prices have risen quite a lot though.

Great service, ready when I picked it up and the food was great

First time we have ordered from here and was blown away . Will definitely order again and recommend

Great menu and food is always tasty, delivered promptly and hot! Really like the curries and biryani.

Good Indian resturant. Quiet as not many diners but good service and enjoyable meal.

We regularly get takeaways and eat in once a month and have never had anything but excellent food from the friendly attentive staff. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was cold yet again. Shame as they do the nicest food.

It was so delicious we will be buying this again stars for the chef

Rice, poppadoms and chicken were lovely. However, we ordered 4 different curries and we all thought they were a bit bland. Hardly any flavour in them. Bit of a shame since this place is only around the corner.

A good meal the staff were brilliant. Made us really welcome food was tasty and well presented will definitely be going again

Mixed review with this one. Whenever I get Indian, without fail I will get an onion bhaji- these bhaji's unfortunately were a let down. They were very dry and honestly tasted stale however the main food was absolutely gorgeous so could have been a bad batch. The mains would make me order from here again

The currys were very oily. My chicken and sauce was covered in a thick layer of oil which I haven’t seen before and it felt as though you were eating pure oil. The masala was ok but not that great. Won’t order again there are much better options around here for much better prices.

Fantastic food as always. Wouldn’t order from anywhere else. First class service xx
