Pearl of Bengal in Central Bedfordshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was excellent as usual and delivered nicely on time to allow me to enjoy it fully.

very good. given us extras including a lovely potato curry and poppadoms. will be our regular 👍

awesome value, will be ordering again 👍

Fab food, great speed and still the free potato dish to round it off, even with banquet special

food just wasn't good. first time I've even binned leftovers:(

10 out of 10 every time. My go too.

Excellent Biryanis, full of flavour

The food was good. Collection was quick. We will order again I'm sure.

Excellent food as always. Thanks

Great quality food, usual free potatoes as an addition to the order.

This just didn't hit the spot tonight, the Jeera was absolutely overwhelmed with cumin seeds, you couldn't taste anything else. The onions weren't soft they felt like they hadn't been cooked very long. Usually these guys are good but we were disappointed tonight.

food was cold and not very tasty did not enjoy

Really great meal and arrived before expected.

An excellent meal, very filling and high quality Pakora!

Thank you great food as always

I order from here all the time and the food is banging and they always look after their loyal customers - 5 stars all round

Food was great, super speedy delivery, shame we were missing our naan bread

Great food sorry for my mix up but thank you

The best indian in Flitwick. Great taste, fast delivery and reasonable prices for the portion sizes. Excellent stuff!

Speedy delivery arrived before estimated arrival time. Driver friendly and happy. Food was delicious, perfectly flavoured dhansak with lamb falling apart in my mouth. Coconut rice evenly blended. Paneer cooked to perfection. Onion bhaji spot on. Salad fresh. potato side was amazing, potatoes melt in the mouth with nice spicy sauce such lovely free surprise. Would definitely highly recommend

Food was good but very little atmosphere. Staff attentive

Thank you very much food was great, Keith

Great food as always and love the free curried potatoes. Would recommend.

Excellent, we both really enjoyed our meals!!! Will be recommending to friends.

I love this place, the food is my favourite and it’s so efficient

it was cold this time unfortunately. normally v good

Think this is our 3rd order and we wouldn’t go anywhere else, amazing prices and always good quality / tasty food delivered hot! Thank you

Food good delivered early thank you

Have ordered several takeaways f rom here over the last few years and have really enjoyed them. Friends have also commented how much they like the food. But the latest one was just dreadful. Really salty and just spicy rather than flavourful. The naan was tough and dry, I threw it away. I appreciate food prices have increased but the price has also shot up massively. Won't be ordering from there again .

I have been hanging in there with this restaurant as I perceived it to be a good all rounder but it has dropped off from previous visits time and time again. Previously i have had incorrect orders, watery curry, bland and over spiced. It just can’t seem to send out a decent order anymore. My last meal was terrible, tasteless and opaque in appearance, bland would be an improvement. The meat is hit and miss sometimes appearing to be more coated and cooked in a conventional oven, often being of a strange texture. Probably had 6 meals from here and at least one person has complained to the point of not eating it each time. If you don’t order poppadoms you get a couple free, if you pay for a couple thats all you get.

Excellent as ever, great portions and quality, free dish added

Food arrived quickly and piping hot and by no means did it compromise in the quality. We gave additional instructions which were also followed. Lovely food, well priced and brilliant service. Thank you

Food was delicious and was early so well deserved 5 star

Great food, thank you very much

Amazing bunch of people, I was working away and was in my work clothes, and the other Indian establishments turned me away in the area, and I was given a warm welcome and amazing authentic food, will 100% be back again when in the area, amazing place

Food is amazing here, top quality curries, full of flavour, highly recommended

My favourite takeaway! Food is exceptional !!

In my experience, the only consistent Indian delivery in the area. Good grub.

The food arrived late and it wasn't what we had ordered. The Biryani's were replaced with prawn fried rice and vegetable curry, which contained sweet corn. The onion bhaji's were rock hard, cold and tasted of rancid cooking oil. Have ordered many times from The Pearl of Bengal, but won't be doing so again.

Great food, free dish provided and all food of great quality, fast and early service!

Friendly delivery man,Lovely food and I got sent a free potato side dish and popadoms

Arrived hot and delicious, with fresh fried fries as requested. Both naan breads were very plain again, otherwise would've been a 5/5.

Delivery is a bit long but food was definatly worth the wait!

Good food on a night I do not have delivery thank you very much

Quality was edible. Had better from here before. Unsure I'd order again. Lamb was tough and gritty. Naan wasn't cooked properly. Portions are large which was nice. Free potatoes but doesn't make up for poor quality food. Mushroom sparingly

Fantastic as usual. Great food and fast delivery. Thank you!

Curry was decent, poppadoms fresh and crisp, nice free sweet potato dish. I ordered garlic naan... got a plain naan. The bhajis were like old rubber balls. Definitely not fresh. Fries were just sad and soggy. So it was just average overall.

Food was piping hot and delicious! Will definitely order again

Been to this takeaway a few times now and this was the worst of the bunch, not sure why just no where near as good as the previous visits which was a shame

I love the Pearl , great food, nice staff, its my favourite Flitwick curry house.

Excellent food, well cooked and good sized portions. They always put in a little extra pot with the popadoms, and spicy potato’s free of charge.

After a drop in quality last year, they are Back to their very best. Excellent. One of the best in the area

Really delicious and best Indian take away we’ve had round here. Only thing we didn’t like was all the onions in the chicken balti dish was way toooo much. But will defo order from here again :)

Sweetcorn is now added to the curries and it's horrible.

Great quality, free dish amongst the rest. Really look after you here

Excellent food and fast delivery. Will definitely order again

Excellent service and excellent quality food 👌

The only person who made my day was the just eat driver known as Stacy very friendly and very polite good service food was horrible but just eat driver 10/10 best service ever

I was late from work and the driver didn’t leave my order,when they have in the past,never again

Food tastes amazing and very generous portions at reasonable prices. Delivery came quicker than estimated which was also a bonus! Would definitely recommend.

Well early 40mins great food as usual

Quick delivery food great thank you

Excellent quality food, value and service, as always

Dropped off from what it was. Don’t order poppadoms get a couple for free, order a couple and get what you pay for. Not really enjoyable binned most of my meal.

Great meal one of the best thank you

I feel as though the pearl of bengal has changed chef or Ingredients, rice was dry, Balti sauce was slightly watered and had less flavour. This used to be my favourite curry house, for now I will not order and wait to hope they get back to their best in the future!

Still not as good as the first time I ordered, I feel this place is going through a change

Appalling customer service, manager was rude and shouting down the phone. Onion Bhaji starter x 2 ordered but only salad and mint sauce for one delivered. Driver said he would organise delivery of missing items, great I thought. After 30 minutes I rang the takeaway and was told the manager would phone me which he did 7 minutes later. I explained the situation and was informed that what I had received was correct. I queried this as when I order just one onion bhaji starter I have always received a bag of salad and 2 pots of mint sauce exactly what we received tonight for two onion bhaji starters. He started shouting and then inferred that I was lying as they only send one pot of mint sauce out per starter and he would not send anymore out tonight they were too busy. He did offer to add a pot to my next order but what use would that be. Stated salad and mint sauce are not part of the starter but a good will gesture, obviously goodwill only applies to the first customer not all parties. I would rather have the extra salad and sauce than the disgusting pot of potatoes in oil they send out as a freebie with every order (always goes straight in the bin) He asked what I wanted to do to which I said it didn't really matter as the food was cold anyway. It had been forty minutes since delivery. He then went off on one about how he had been standing in the kitchen when our food left so it wasn't cold and I was trying it on (for 2 pots of mint sauce and a bag of salad, haha I do set my sights high). I never at any point said it arrived cold just that it was now. This is not the first time this gentleman has been rude and patronising. I let it go last time because he corrected an incorrect order (took nearly an hour to do so though). Will not be using this takeaway again but I am looking forward to the inevitable 'blame the customer' response from the takeaway.

I've ordered from here before, it's always been good, but this order tonight was very mediocre, have the chefs been changed? I thew a lot of it away, it just didn't taste great.

Regularly order takeaway from here as I'm very local, generous portions and great flavour. I can honestly say I have never had a dish I wasn't totally happy with. The delivery is always quick in my experience. Recommended.

The best curry house in Flitwick, and I've tried them all. Curry style is not modern, and is classic 1980/90s. Staff very polite and friendly.

Have ordered regularly from this place for several years and have always had a decent meal delivered promptly. Always get free poppadums and Bombay Potato. Reasonably good value for money in my opinion

Food was incredibly disappointing and by far the worst indian i have had in many years; the chicken curry was almost inedible. Also we ordered saag aloo, which must have been mixed with another order, as we received a complete different dish which was not very pleasant and went straight into the food recycling bin. Pricing was good, and the prawn curry was just about edible I'd rather spend an extra 10% and actually receive something i enjoy eating, as opposed to forcefully eating it in order to satisfy our hunger. Avoid if you can.

Were do I start it’s the first time ordering from here I love Indian food the special biryani was bland. It seem to have no flavour at all and then there is the naan which was burnt the filling was okay, but you can’t just eat the filling the mint sauce well that was just runny. I’ve had a lot of mint sauces from a lot of different Indians and that is by far the worst I have ever had. Definitely will not ever order from here again so disappointed. the only good thing was they arrived early

Really lovely food for a reasonable price, good portions, great delivery time. Would order again.

Delivered on time good meal thank you very much

Love pearl of bengal - best curry house in mid beds

Tandoori duck was 6 pieces of small meat and a bit of onion for £9.95, no taste and very disappointing

Food was so cold and stale most went in the bin Shame as normally it’s good from here

Cold food Soggy naan Soggy fries(youngest yet to embrace Indian cusine) Meat tasted as if it had been reheated Veg dishes were runny with little solid content All dishes were the same red ‘chilli powder’ colour A really disappointing meal for my family

Really good food, great price and on time delivery. Very happy.

Great food and did as I asked great thank you very much will order again

Absolutely terrible food. Took it back the next day as we couldnt eat our takeaway and was told to fuc* off by a very nasty man behind the counter. He also Tried to force us to sit down whilst he was doing an order on the phone. Very disappointed. First time trying. I will never return, as he asked of me not to! . We did not get our money back and in still hungry. Thank god spice is down the road.

Good food just as expected thank you very much

Would recommend pearl of bengal and the freebie Bombay potatoes you get!!!

What a great find! We’re staying at Centre Parcs and fancied an authentic Indian so ordered from here. The food was spot on!! It came fresh and pipping hot. The portions were massive, enough to have the next day as well. All the food is halal. Service was great. I opted to collect it from them but they were happy to deliver to Centre Parcs (you have to meet them at check in as they’re not allowed in) The price was also unbelievable!

Ordered and waited for over an hour for food, turns out they just dumped it outside the front door, didn’t knock or ring the bell and now it is cold.

Food delicious as always, more than i ordered..Thank you!

Lovely food as always & on time

Quick delivery, hot and tasty. Always spot on

Way too oily and the chicken pakora was not crisp but gooey inside. Didn’t eat even a third of what we ordered .

Lovely tasty dishes. Thank you very much

The curry contained sweetcorn, not an authentic ingredient. The onion bhajis were mushy and not seasoned. Very disappointed as this restaurant used to be my favourite.

Ordered a takeaway to centre parcs, food was amazing, cooked exactly how we like it. Great portions and delivered sooner than expected. Definitely will be ordering again

Food was fantastic highly recommended best to n the area by far. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My wife and I have not been for about 10 years, we were happy nothing has changed. Good meal and good service.

Great food and service everytime from pearl of bengal

Really lovely food and fast delivery!

Just perfect indian food, the best staff, and fantastic value for money. Jalfrezi and tandoori chicken are big recommendations

Chicken Korma is not what like it says in menu
