Bengal Village in Tower Hamlets

Great meal tonight guys. Your recommendations were spot on.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere loved the experience.

Great taste and even greater service

So I inadvertently booked a table at this restaurant by mistake. Stupid I know. I am not local to the area but there is a restaurant with the same name near to me which was my intended booking. I booked a table for 10 and paid an initial £50 deposit, only coming to realise on the night of the booking my mistake. I contacted this restaurant to apologise and much to my surprise they kindly offered to refund my deposit, despite likely losing business because of my error. I can't comment for the food obviously, but I can comment for their customer service and general 'good humanness'.

Having been persuaded . a fixed price meal and free beer, we waited nearly half an hour before our orders were taken. Eventually, our first course arrived. Two of us had the sheek kebab and one the pakora. The kebab was very under cooked, and saturated with water, which suggested that it was not fresh and had been frozen. The pakora was also soggy and not at all crispy, and again suggested that it was undercooked. We mentioned this to the manager, who took away the plates insisting on replacing these items, we had decided by then that we would pay for what we had and would leave. We asked for the bill for this, but the manager insisted on replacing the undercooked items. Eventually, he reappeared with the replacement items and commented that this is what it should have looked like, then took them away. After several attempts to get the correct bill, we paid and left

Food was lovely, and the staff were super attentive and friendly

Great food. Staff are good fun, likeable, genuine - Tomy and Richard are my favourite. HIGHLY recommend.

Tremendous service, Great veg options, will be back

Amazing 10/10 all ways so accommodating

Had another brilliant experience at Bengal Village – Best of Brick Lane. This was my second visit, and it didn’t disappoint. Great to see Richard Starling and Mr Raj again—always welcoming and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was spot on. For starters, we had the King Prawn Butterfly and Tikka Platter—both full of flavour and cooked perfectly. For mains, I went for the Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi—hot, spicy, and bursting with taste. My partner had the Butter Chicken, which was rich and creamy—she loved it. The only small letdown was the Keema Naan—it didn’t have much filling inside, so it lacked the flavour I was expecting. But everything else more than made up for it. Highly recommend this spot if you’re around Brick Lane—great food, top service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Lovely curry! My favourite place on Brick Lane

I had a fantastic experience dining at this Indian restaurant on Brick Lane, and a huge part of that was thanks to Tommy, our waiter. He was incredibly welcoming, attentive without being intrusive, and had great menu recommendations—especially when it came to pairing dishes with the right level of spice. Tommy made sure our table was looked after from start to finish, and his friendly energy really added to the overall vibe. It’s rare to find service this genuine and consistent—thank you, Tommy, for making our night so enjoyable!

Always a great team, service is great and the food is fantastic. Lovely day with Mr Raj 😉

Instead of worrying about the food the owner or his kids are on social media more importantly the internet calling people all sorts of names arguing with accounts .. have some class make the butter chicken and get off instagram raj

Great service and people catering for a tourist market. Ask for more traditional dishes otherwise it’s sweet and watered down.

Best Indian food we've had so far. The service was great - the entire team was very accommodating. Absolute recommendation 👏🏼

Very good Indian food. The staff is very courteous and attentive. We ordered the King Prawns based on a recommendation and it was a real culinary delight.

Friendly staff, calm atmosphere. Delicious selection of vegetarian dishes too. Ordered two small portions, just under £7 each, to choose from. Plus bread and water. Fine.

As we joined Brick Lane we were immediately approached by their street person, offering us 20% off, and a good seat. We explained that we wanted to look around first, and soon the offer changed to Starter, main, poppadum and nann, plus two drink for £25 each. We agreed this was worth a try… we were wrong. It took 20 mins to take our orders. Then when the starter came (2x Sheek kebab and veg pakora) they were grossly undercooked. The pakora was still wet/ mushy inside, and the kebabs so pail, they may have still been alive? We asked to speak to the manager and pointed out the food was under/uncooked and asked if we could pay for what we’d had and leave. What followed was comical. They took the food away, and refused to let us pay until they’d offered us a new selection of certainly cooked ( charged) food. We again explained that we’d like to pay ( not eat any more food) and leave. They then attempted to charge us for 5x papadums ( we’d had 3), and eventually charged us £24.90 for 3 paoadums and three cobras. We then left. They were polite! But way too busy, and crowded, and I feel this is what led to the slow service and rushed ( undercooked food). I know they have a good rating and plenty of photos of them with celebrities… I’d suggest the high TA score is more to do with them asking customers to give a good report prior to receiving their bill and/or the extravagant discounts.

This isn’t a Restaurant, it’s a fraudulent canteen serving 80% frozen meals, with bad hygiene practices, shady billing schemes and deceptive “Review” practices pushing people to leave 5 star reviews while standing next to them. The owner should read a few books on the hospitality and food industry instead of flexing on social media in his rented Ferraris and Bentleys, as sooner or later he’ll face legal issues he won’t be able to avoid.

Great atmosphere and nice waiters, we had a lot of fun and great food

Tommy and Raj gave us a great night, Filled me with food and beer and my heart with love 😍 I can’t wait to come back and experience the best curry on brick lane.

Fantastic food, great value, lovely atmosphere and Mr Raj was in the house and Tommy made the meal. Mr Raj also brought out a baklava which was delicious.

This place is the best curry place I’ve ever been to! I would highly recommend anyone to come here, overall brilliant experience!!!

I came here on a Friday night and the food was so good piping hot, seasoned and delicious, great restaurant. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a good Indian meal!

Scammed some lad on a hot food challenge. Promised to pay his whole tables bill if he finished it then when it came to paying he changed it and charged them £145

Best curry in brick lane even treated us to free shots and desert for my pals birthday

Tourist spot...lured in by street seller offer which was great value for what you pay and what you get...as long as you stick to the deal and don't order extras...so if your on a budget a great spot. Good food, good service, they prefer cash payment, a few freebies at the end; 4/5

Everything was overly sweet and tasted the same. Very pricey for the portions served as well. I was really looking forward to eating Indian food on Brick Lane that day. It was a disappointing experience that I won't renew. The touting from almost every restaurant on the whole street was stressful and almost scary as well and I regret having given in to this one.

Ordered 2 completely different dishes - both tasted identical. Paneer masala and chicken rogan Josh even looked the same. That’s not how it should be guys!! The guys serving were lovely though. Poor.

Brilliant curry's. Some of the best I've ever eaten. Really friendly staff and quick service. I highly recommend this place!

Great atmosphere and hosting, food just ok both meat dishes very overcooked but tasty sauce

Lovely food, great service Tommy was amazing.

We were very comfortable, I highly recommend it

I’ve been here before and love the food. As a south Asian woman it’s one of the most authentic places I like to go eat at and would recommend it to everyone if they want traditional Bengali food.

Great food and great customer service as always, definitely recommend!

This may be the best curry I’ve ever had. Better than dishoom, just try.

Lovely place, great food, Richard

Food and staff were both brilliant

Great spot on Brick Lane with an excellent mix of vegetarian and non veg options, we particularly enjoyed the paneer jalfrezi and Roni was an attentive but not obtrusive server.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. A perfect place to eat.

Fantastic, humane and friendly service. Also the food is quite solid and one can get special prices.

Lovely food! Tomy was a great server :)

They were so kind and welcoming always would come back

really great food and service, tomy was very helpful

Tommy was a great host, loved the mood lighting and solid food

What a lovely meal, great food, what a great guy Tomy is.

Top service, great food, great ambiance

Absolute vibes, Tommy’s a lad. Great time

Really very nice place and very friendly staff, really delicious food, but the environment was a bit noisy P.S: ideal for a tourist dinner in London

Great food and customer service

The food was not good, the starters looked and tasted like frozen food, so bland. There was a lack of good spices in the main dishes like Tikka masala just bland and the sauce was a red colour ive never seen before , the butter chicken was nothing ive ever tasted before. The service was also slow a real disappointment all round never again.

It’s a pretty decent place to have food and specifically caters to the British palate who like Indian/Bengali cuisine. However not a place I’d recommend if you want to have authentic Bengali food.

Another dimension of „spicy“ but great food, quick and friendly service.

I was not initially a fan of Indian food but this restaurant has converted my new found love for it. Very good quality food with reasonable prices. The biryani + butter chicken combination is God tier. The tandoori platter was succulent and fresh. We also tried the Prawn Puree. The best Indian restaurant I’ve been to in London.

Best spot on Brick lane. We always come to this restaurant when in London and have sent many friends and colleagues

We had a lovely dinner here at this restaurant! The food was really good and also reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

It was our first time in London and we were looking for an Indian restaurant. The Bengal Village not only impressed with the food but also with the staff. Super friendly and fast service. My expectations were absolutely exceeded and we had a lovely evening here.

Excellant experience, highly recommend

Nice experience, more engaging service than London usually offers !

The food is fantastic. The employees are very sweet and you feel very welcome in this restaurant. The atmosphere is also very pleasant. In short, a very good restaurant.

Lovely lunch experience. Would recommend and visit again if in the area.

Great food-great service -fabulous ambiance!

Fab food & lovely service. We got our starter & were asked when we would like our main course which was a lovely touch, even though they were really busy too! Highly recommend!

Food was good, lots of vegan options, byo was good and they don't charge corkage

One of the best restaurants in London for this cuisine. The butter chicken in particular was superb! Very friendly staff and excellent service. I highly recommend.

Came to this restaurant with my mum and sisters to celebrate my mum's birthday! Exceptional service and food was outstanding. Will definitely recommend this restaurant to others and return again.

gorgeous gorgeous curry for gorgeous gorgeous girls

Delicious - will certainly come back when in town.

Bless best food of my life doesn't get better than Richard is the best man alive

Very good food and service, strongly reccomend

The staff were so lovely and the food was amazing. Best Madras I’ve ever had and fantastic quality for great value ☺️ will definitely be back!!

Food was nice, but did have gut rot for about a week after eating here

Been to Brick Lane many times. Bengal Village did not disappoint. Will definitely return. Amazing spread fulfilled by great recommendations by the staff. The group ate well and I was able to add heat as necessary. Perfect combo of great taste and as hot as I wanted. Don’t hesitate to drop in… Additionally bathroom was VERY clean, which is rather important to me.

Great service and great food! The flavours were incredible and we loved every starter and main they served us. Very friendly! Tommy was excellent!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Bengal Village ( definitely the Best of Brick Lane)! We came to celebrate my mum’s 60th birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and made to feel at home. The food was outstanding—every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The curries were rich and authentic, and the naan was fresh and fluffy. You can tell they put real care into their cooking. What really stood out was the attentive service. The staff were incredibly thoughtful, ensuring everything was perfect for our celebration. They even surprised us with a birthday cake, which made my mum feel truly special. If you’re looking for delicious Indian food with top-tier hospitality, Bengal Village is the place to go. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!

The food was forgettable, but the real 'flavour' comes out in their replies to criticism — laced with insults and the occasional racist jab. Rather than taking feedback on the chin, they lash out like it’s a personal attack. Quite the customer service charm offensive. If you fancy being talked down to for leaving an honest review, this might just be your spot. Otherwise, probably best to give it a wide berth.

Excellent restaurant, impeccable table service! We discovered traditional meals and superb flavors. Thanks for everything! I recommend

Very nice food and great service !

No value for money. Quantity was too low. Taste was okayish . Never gonna go again

A good choice. King Prawn Puri particularly tasty.

Great experience. The staff were wonderful. The food was really good. It’s worth checking out!

I had the misfortune of dining at Bengal Village, and it was a disaster from start to finish. The moment we walked in, the smell of stale grease and burnt food hit us, setting the tone for a terrible meal. The decor was straight out of a bad 90s time capsule, with faded photos and worn-out furniture held together by duct tape. The service was abysmal, with our server taking forever to take our orders and forgetting one of our appetizers. The food was equally disappointing, with a grey patty of questionable meat served on a stale bun and topped with limp tomato slices and an ancient pickle. Overall, Bengal Village is a culinary nightmare that should be avoided at all costs.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM We chose this restaurant based on the glowing reviews on Google Maps, but it turned out to be a complete letdown. Clearly, most of the positive reviews are fake or paid because the reality is far from what’s advertised. The food was extremely average — nothing special at all — and the portion sizes were shockingly small for the price. To top it off, they added a random tax to the final bill that we’ve never heard of before. Felt like we were being ripped off. Overall, the experience was pathetic. Definitely not worth the hype. Avoid this place unless you enjoy being overcharged for subpar food and shady billing practices.

I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. The dish I ordered was overwhelmingly sweet, to the point where it completely masked any other flavors. It felt more like a dessert than a main course. So so toxic!!! To my disappointment for the food and quantity being less i got reply from them that was not only toxic but also degrading,i mean what kind of SERVICE IS THIS? Additionally, the portion size was disappointingly small — I was still hungry after finishing my meal. To top it off, the price I paid was definitely not justified for the quality or quantity of food served. Overall, it was not a good value for the money, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying meal!

Love these guys - come here every time

Great service and yummy, fresh food! 👍

This is the best place I’ve ever been too. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing vibes. 100% recommend

I'm London then, but I didn't know this part of London, I had dinner with my father. Great, super nice atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff and amazing food! Is it a supplementary program? No, and does that matter? No, absolutely not because it is more than worth it😃! The two of us opted to do a sharing, combining chicken and lamb and leaving it to the kitchen to surprise us and that's what happened! Recommended 100%!

Nice meal, nice service. Small place but that makes it cozy. Beware of spicy, it's best to be SPICY

Amazing food and service! Was my first time eating Indian food and I just loved it. I ordered the butter chicken with coconut rice and onion bhaji and was soul food. Can’t wait to come back and try more plates.

Amazing service, bent over backward for us! Will definitely be back🤍

Lovely experience, staff are lovely and food was good

Delicious food and super friendly people working here!! super experience :)

Great restaurant, delicious food, top service. Highly recommended.

The food was so amazing, best butter chicken and paratha I’ve ever had!! And the value for money is so good as well! However, it was very loud and busy so it’s the best if you go as a group

Nothing terrible, nothing really good.. probably try the next one.

My son booked a meal for my 70th b day when we arrived the waiter didn’t even ask if we had booked led us to the very back of the restaurant. I then asked to be moved to the main part of the restaurant we he did by that time I felt my special evening had been spoilt if you’re looking for a quick turnaround meal this is the place if not then don’t bother
