Bengal Village in Tower Hamlets

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.

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.

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

Excellant experience, highly recommend

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

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.

Nice experience, more engaging service than London usually offers !

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

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

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.

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!

Great food-great service -fabulous ambiance!

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!

Very nice food and great service !

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.

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!

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

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

A good choice. King Prawn Puri particularly tasty.

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!

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.

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

Great service and yummy, fresh food! 👍

Love these guys - come here every time

Lovely experience, staff are lovely and food was good

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

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.

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

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%!

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

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

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

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

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

Really wonderful staff, and they trusted me when I told them to make the vindaloo spicy.

Great first time experience. Would definitely go back Great service.

Staff were friendly, food was great. Tawa Lamb was very fresh, great green chillies

We traveled to Brick Lane to try some rando Indian Food on our third night in London. Stepped into Bengal Village for a table of two. Waited on quickly. Beers with lamb chop appetizer. Dipping sauce and lamb was delicious. Then we went with Karahi chicken, two different paneer vegetarian sides and some lovely naan. Vegetarian sides were the highlight. Chicken asked for medium spicy but served with no spice. Served home-style and atmosphere started to get crazy loud with some large tables as we were finishing up. Food was good but not spicy enough.

I love this place, they were very nice to my mum x 🤰🏻

Tomi was amazing, very fast and food was great!

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was immaculate. The place had a nice Indian ambience. We go there again anytime, can only recommend :)

Really nice restaurant with great and attentive staff. The saag paneer is incredible and I really liked. It was 10/10 and i’d eat it a million times. Strangely enough it was the sides that left me second guessing. The onion bhajis were too fried and didn’t have enough salt and the cheese naan was “meh” and didn’t taste like much (and it looks like someone tried to make a deep dish pizza out of it). Overall I do recommend it, and have added it to my personal list for London, but more for the mains than for anything else

Authentic, welcoming, friendly, attentive and so polite; the food itself was excellent too. Thank you.

I have been eating Indian food for many years. I was completely stunned by the standard and taste of the food. I genuinely can’t fault it. The service was faultless and it’s a great experience all round. You must visit

Great food, great deal, wonderful staff. The best about

Great spot - awesome food, they were tolerant of our large crowd so if you’re with a spiritedly crew they’ll take you 😂

Great value for money, incredible service!!

amazing food, great service, love the place

Amazing- butter chicken is off chops- Matt days I love you

Incredible food and incredible service - Ricky Ponting you are a star 🤩🤩

Good curry on a Thursday night. Good deal too - £18, curry, starter and a nice/naan. Naan was excellent. Thanks

Great food, without going overly complicated.

tommy was amazing, he was very kind and showed us a fantastic time.

Incredible service! Lovely curry had a great evening ❤️

Fun experience for a big group and very tasty!

Great and amazing service! Very lively with great food!

Had a lovely lunch here today. Vegan options were great. Staff amazingly helpful & attentive. Very clean inside 2. Such fantastic value for money. Can’t wait to return.

Very good all round dinner. Recommend the paneer masala and garlic naan!

Why are the sauces so sweet? It’s like they put sugar instead of salt… wouldn’t come back. Maybe not for my taste and isn’t worth the money, I guess. Waiters are nice though.

Dinner and a show!!!! Wow Mr Raj really treated us to a cultural masterpiece and I’ve never felt so alive. P.s ask for snakes and a briefcase…thank me later 💼💼💼

Tommy was fantastic men excellent food highly recommended for everyone

Surprised my husband with a curry for his birthday. Brick Lane was a good choice. Bengal Village was the winner according to the reviews. It was so much more than I ever expected. Mr Raj and his amazing team were welcoming, warm, caring and had the most exceptional customer service. The food was outstanding. Fresh, vibrant and nothing like we’d had before. The Tawa Chicken was out of this world. We will be back. An hour and half to get there but we will be back

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Very well worth making an effort to visit

If you're looking for great service and delicious Indian then look no further. The warm moist towlette at the end will have me coming back for more and was a pleasant touch!

Absolutely the best on brick lane. Mr Raj is an asset to the community.

The food was absolutely delicious! The service was perfect and our waitress Tommy was very friendly and nice! Absolutely recommended!!!!! We will happily come here again.

Mr Raj. The King of Brick Lane. 18/03/25 - he fed me.

Me and the family had an amazing time. The food was mouth watering the service was fantastic.

It’s was a lovely afternoon, me and my family went her for my dad’s birthday and the whole time that we was here was amazing and the waiter was amazing nice and easy to talk to. The food was amazing the flavour was lovely. I would recommend this place and we will be coming back again.

Food was amazing staff were very friendly and a welcome drink top top place highly recommend

10/10 experience, food is amazing i recommend coming here. I am definitely coming here again.

I had a brilliant birthday meal with my family. Very welcoming and helpful in all aspects including helping my daughter with her wheelchair. I will definitely be coming back for more family occasions

Great food, amazing staff. Definitely recommend. Special shoutout to Tahmid! Amazing lunch

It was my first visit to Bengal Village as a result of seeing Mr Raj and the restaurant on social media (Instagram). The food and service was excellent, Mr Raj was kind enough to take time for a chat and a few photos with me even though he was under the pressure of managing a full restaurant on a Saturday night. Will return soon with more friends to enjoy this restaurant again 👍

Food was excellent, Tummi was a great waiter and lovely atmosphere too!

We enjoyed the food, each dish was very good. Staff move you along rather efficiently. Toilets could do with a deep cleaning or a complete refurbishment, but let's admit it, that's 85% of British bogs.

Really great place for a curry on brick lane! Great selection of options. Only thing was it was extremely noisy and hot in the restaurant. They also wanted us in and out rather quickly, so I wouldn’t say it’s the place for a long dining experience.

Really tasty, plenty of vegetarian and vegan options Tommy was a great waiter too :)

Foods nice, but it’s a very awkward place. The staff are doing too much - I just want to eat food… It was just cringey to experience, and I didn’t enjoy my time there.

By far the best indian food I have had in a very long time. Tommy was incredibly attentive and very quick to answer any questions i had about the menu. The mango lassi is also out of this world!

Boss la Best cuz in brick lane. Tommy is the best host ✅

Tommy provided superb service, food excellent.

What a lovely place. Food is delicious; the staff are lovely and all within the authenticity of brick lane. Would very much recommend. Tony was particularly attentive and helpful.

Tommy gave us great service, great food. Great tarka Dal

Great atmosphere, able to have a good bit of banter, great tasting food, definitely a place to stop of at.

You can’t go wrong with this place and Mr Raj

This place. Woah. That was just amazing. Absolutely well recommended. And the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Thank you Bengal Village for a good night! Certainly the Best of Brick Lane.

Amazing experience! Lovely food and service- will definitely be back. Tommy looked after us well.

Good food, good service, good choice.

Very good Food! Got recommended from the tour guide.
