Bengal Village in Richmond upon Thames

I found this place to be quite disappointing. The food was extremely bland, and honestly, I think a microwave meal would have been just as filling, if not more, and far cheaper. It certainly didn’t live up to the hype.

Really enjoyable meal and nice cold draught lager here. Stays open a little later than other Indian restaurants in the area so good for a late night stop.

Late night venue that served a great curry. I opted for a garlic chill chicken curry and pilau rice. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dreadful generic food, ordered chilli chicken and a rezalla, both tasted exactly the same which was basically of nothing, portion sizes decent but you wouldn't want that for food that's bad! Never again

Probably the worst Indian takeaway I ever had

Bad restaurant staff outside standing staff behaviour is not good please don’t go to this restaurant bad restaurant thanks

Need to update google maps, it was not open and is take away only, could have saved the walk from town there.

It’s amazing! If you like Indian food- you’ll love this. Well- if you like food period - you’ll love this place!

I think this very advantage place food was very bland and eating micro meal would be just as for filling and a good deal cheaper.

The people here are really friendly and the food was exquisite. First time trying Bengali food and I hope I'll be back here soon. Really enjoyable experience 😀🤙😋

Really great food and the wait staff are really friendly

5 stars, lovely hard working family business running since 1988. Keep going back for more curries, highly recommended!

Delicious Indian meal with a good amount of spice. I really enjoyed my Chicken Rogan and garlic naan. Highly recommend Bengal village 5 ⭐️

Awesome Dishes and taste so good that I keep coming back.

The food was fantastic, great customer service and the delivery was fast

If I could give 10 stars I would!! Down for the army navy game at the weekend popped in for big eats, the owner and his family were amazing! We had nowhere to eat our takeout and the owner helped us out! His wife the best cook….and his daughter fantastic!! Food amazing and great price!! Amazing - thank you!! Definitely go back next year!

Great food, lovely staff, affordable prices!

Food really dreadful... we ordered from another nearby restaurant a couple of weeks ago, Cafe Masala, and that was one of the worst meals we’d had... so we thought we’d try the Bengal Village tonight... identical food and really bad again... bengal village shown as closed on here and on deliveroo... suspect the same undercooked and tasteless pap is coming from the same place... complained of course, and owner says he cooked the food personally... for the record... aloo gobi and motor panir had identical sauces... potatoes too hard to eat... king prawn korai was tiny prawns in tomato sauce with a couple of onions and peppers... tasteless... garlic naan had no garlic...

Fantastic tasty Indian takeaway . Had the mixed tandoori grill and the chicken was simply melt in the mouth . Staff were friendly also so I'll definitely be back again

It's a family run takeaway. It's not close to me but I go there because I love the tasty well prepared food. I'd say I prefer it to all the other Indian takeaways in the Richmond and Twickenham area. Definitely worth a visit. I can only say I haven't ever been disappointed!

Really enjoyed the lamb madras - a little hotter than expected but great taste to make up for it! Pilau rice was also great

Waited over an hour for food. Food average at best!!

Very delicious food.chef is very experienced and knows the need of customers. Please do try spicy Bengali food.

Best Indian food I have ever tried

EXCELLENT FOOD FOR PRICE. LONGEST FAMILY RUN BUSINESS IN RICHMOND. FAST DELIVERY AND THE FOOD TASTES DELIGHTFUL 10 STARS IF I COULD GIVE....

I have known the food from Bengal Village for the last 40 years, since I was twelve years old. It is always exemplary in quality, always something you can totally rely on. Bengal Village is the business-I would not use any other Indian restaurant anywhere for my takeaway.

I felt I must leave feedback after just having a quick take away from the Bengal village, I am a business traveler who was staying at the Richmond inn hotel, I had spent a few hours in the red cow pub opposite watching the Wednesday night football, I only had a couple of pints came out and felt peckish, After studying there menu from the window , I noticed they do a kebab roll, which I thought would be ideal, I didn’t want to take food back to my room and have the smell lingering all night, my local Indian do a kebab roll, and it’s a great bit of food without having to order several dishes, any how I was not disappointed, I asked them if they could make it in a fresh nan bread, which they truly obliged, honestly it was Devine, better than my local, it had fresh salad coriander and the sweetness of the onions was absolutely mouth watering, a £4.50 snack and better than anything I could have had in the high street and 10 pm in the evening. Well done the Bengal I will be back, I should have said I eat Indian food all over the country and have been to some of the most up market Indian restaurant’s and paid through the nose, this place was just as good.

Great tasting food; friendly people and reasonable pricing. What isn’t there to like? Highly recommended.

I read the reviews before trying this place and from the start was a little dubious. The person taking the order had no idea about the menu and kept nipping to the kitchen to clarify the most basic of questions. Address given, headed home for delivery rather than hang around given the long wait. Time came and went so followed up only to discover they didn’t know how to find us and went to the wrong place! When the food arrived it was overcooked and, by this time, cold. All of it went to the plate and straight to the bin. Never again!

Some delicious curries to be found here. A great takeaway choice in Richmond.

One of the best Indian take aways in Richmond. Very good sellection.Quick service, with home delivery if required and excellent value.

Always love it, always good often great!

This really is a top notch local take away and had been for years. The food is very tasty and generous portions. I've been going the for fifteen years and only had one bad meal from them...

Fantastic food. If you like madras, vindaloo and jalfrezi you can also upgrade to the naga chilli version (particularly good from October-March.

We failed to find a kebab shop and spotted the Bengal, close to our hotel. We went in and ordered a Garlic Chilli Chicken, the staff were friendly and our order didn't take too long. Once we got back to the hotel, we enjoyed the curry. We will return.

I miss this place when I am not in the neighbourhood. The people that run it are great, the food is exquisite and the efficiency is wonderful. Thanks for making our community the way it is :)

Fantastic food. Chicken Jalfrezi, Ceylon and Vindaloo are all excellent. If you like spicey food, inquire about upgrading to naga chilli.

Great service and quick, their curries and poppadoms are wonderful and fresh. Staff very friendly and everything is quite delicious!

Have only ordered food from this Indian takeaway on a couple of occasions, I would describe the food to be of mediocre standard and also found the service was basic and average.

Just awful in every way. Food is junk, poor ingredients terribly cooked. Horrible and utterly unauthentic. You would have to try hard to do worse than this.

Normally love this restaurant and always order from here but last night I was so disappointed. We ordered and they said it would be 45mins..fair enough it was a saturday night. However we called them an hour and a half later, and they say 'the delivery man is walking out the door with your food' Clearly a lie, as it then took another 45mins and it arrived cold. We said we didn't want to pay the full amount and they got angry. We finally gave in and handed over the money, by this point we were starving. Won't be ordering from here again. They either need more staff or not to lie about delivery times!

I live around the corner from this restaurant. and use it every once in a while. The food is neither bad nor great. It'll do in a pinch. BUT....I am laid up and needed to order out. I ordered a few things and the food was delivered about 1 and one-half hours later (remember I live around the corner) after I was told it would be there in 45 minutes. That kind of delay isn't worth the food and the poor service. I will never use this restaurant again.

Esta pizzería era horrible, y también hizo que mi esposa sentir enfermo. El personal era amable y el servicio rápido. No estoy sorprendido sobre lo último, ya que la comida es de dudosa calidad. Fue la peor comida que he tenido durante un tiempo y odio a decir esto, pero habría sido mucho mejor para comprar una comida india de microondas de una tienda local.

This is a good value indian take away. The food is of a high standard, and usually the delivery time is within 45 minutes.It's not the best indian in Richmond but it's not expensive and it is consistent.

After moving from Kentish Town and leaving our beloved Gulshaan behind, we were bereft for some time in Richmond. We tried four or five establishments before taking a chance on The Bengal Village after spying it from the window of the Red Cow opposite. The food is always very, very good. What we get, taste-wise, is completely random sometimes (different chefs on different nights maybe?), but it's always excellent. We always go for a butter chicken (sometimes it seems to come tikka'd, sometimes not), saag aloo (lots of spinach, very little oil), bhajis (big, greasy), some sort of naan (standard), meat samosas (very nice) and some other sort of curry. The spice ratings are a bit inconsistent, both on the menu and in the mouth, but we always enjoy what we're given and we wouldn't go anywhere else. The delivery is speedy, the food arrives hot, and the staff are delightful. We're getting takeaway from there tonight - might just ask if they do in fact change their chefs up...

tastelessdirty rubbishcomplete waste of moneyit's just disgusting oily foodwe will never go back there

Established over 25 years it's still the best Indian takeaway in Richmond. Family run business with friendly and welcoming atmosphere always.

A bit hit and miss from Bengal Village. There is an obvious difference between cooks/chefs. When it is on then the food is amazing, when it is off it fares no better than a ready meal. Been getting take-away from here for nearly 5 years so they must be doing something right. Safron chicken is the business so too is the King Prawn Ceylon.

Food had black hair in it, almost half of it was oil, u could see the dirty environment & rude staff, would never go back. Avoid avoid avoid.
