Rose Of Bengal in Wealden

Absolutely wonderful food amazing

Delicious food, all very freshly cooked. Great range of dishes on the menu. Friendly staff

Had a takeaway last night which was lovey as usual, most impressed with the delivery driver whom I gave too much cash to. He was honest and returned to explain my mistake with the overpayment 👏

Best curry house in Crowbourgh! The service is fantastic with the staff going above and beyond for you. The food is consistently outstanding.

Had the Mahkani Chicken with a little extra spice and I can quite honestly say it was the best curry that I have ever had. The mixture of the creaminess with the spice and flavour was unbelievable and the Saag Aloo on the side was delicious.

Great food ! Brilliant service ...

Food is amazing. Always tasty and tender meat. Friendly and excellent service. Great atmosphere and always welcoming.

Absolutely Delightful Food & Drink Tonight. Highly Recommended.

Fantastic..As usual. Greatest Indian restaurant by far.

curry was extremely watery and not very tasty wouldn’t recommend

Always a pleasure to eat here. Staff are v polite, food is lovely and good value for money. Will visit again soon.

Friendly accommodating staff, food is delicious. Reasonably priced. I suppose if being really critical the restaurant could do with a bit of a spruce up, for example the toilets, but we really enjoyed our meal here.

First visit, very good, when we're close we'll come again

Very tasty indian food..Enjoyed well..will defenitely back..5 star

Went last night and although the food was still good, the staff were so rude. I've been going there for 20 years and none of the usual people were working there. Perhaps they were on a post Christmas break.

Absolutely delicious. Pricey Prawns

It was fine, it wasn't bad or anything but just not my favourite. The chicken was a bit dry and would probably have been better if we had shared 2 plates instead of having our own

What a menu choice. Coming from Australia where Indian food menus are very limited, it took me half an hour to read through the menu & try to decide what I was going to eat. I have dietary issues & they were great & I ate items that I love but haven't been able to eat for years. The food was excellent.

New to Indean food so wanting to try somthing new so had a supreme biryani an it was spot on full of flavour and meat even the veg curry that came with it was great, you will not be disappointed

We go here often and it is always great value for money and staff are really good.

This is my first review in some time, as I don't normally leave a review unless it was either very good, or very poor. Sadly in this case my takeaway last night is the latter. I ordered a Prawn Puri as a starter, which was bland and a real effort to eat. No noticeable spice flavour. The Garlic Chilli Chicken was in fact unpleasant, I managed three mouthfuls before I gave up. Unable to say what overpowered it but it only vaguely tasted like curry and I found offensive to the palate, and the chicken was very dry. The Sag Paneer was better in terms of flavour, but I was disappointed with how little paneer was in the dish. I also ordered a mushroom rice, which didn't seem like the usual fried pilau rice with mushrooms stirred through affair - this was more like a boiled rice with mushrooms. I was a takeaway customer and there seems to be no specific waiting area. I was asked to sit and wait on a single chair adjacent to the front door, next to a pile of stacked chairs by a table that provided restricted access. In summary. had I need a dine in customer, the whole meal would have been sent back as woefully inferior. Sadly, the best part of the experience was the bootle of Bangla whilst waiting. I shall not return.

Had a takeaway cold, meat chewie prawn puri no flavour salad came in a pot the size of an egg cup no poppadoms no mango chuckney very poor.

Great food and service. Nice wine too!

Wonderful place to eat, you get treated like royalty and nothing is too much trouble and great food as well We will be back

This place is always quite busy, staff are friendly and the food is good, they also have Cobra on tap, would recommend!

Went to the Rose for dinner last night. As ever, very welcoming, great service & good atmosphere. Food was excellent & really fresh. Would highly recommend !

Great food and very attentive staff, highly recommend

Excellent food good service reasonable prices.

Could not fault the food. Really good value for money and friendly and attentive staff. We will be back!

Yum! Really tasty Indian with a huge range of dishes- loads I’d never heard of before either. We got a mix of fish, veggie and meat and everything tasted delicious. The Amere Chicken was a lovely alternative to a creamy curry, the lamb was cooked to perfection, and all the portions were really generous. Thanks so much, we had such a lovely family meal !

Brilliant!! Nice atmosphere really good food and very friendly staff, we will be back

Absolutely delighted with our first visit to Rose of Bengal. The food was delicious, staff were friendly and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back again soon.

The best Indian food in Crowborough. The menu has a wide choice, including excellent vegan and vegetarian dishes (as you would expect from an Indian) but only instant coffee was available, otherwise 5 stars.

Always a pleasure. Great food and really friendly staff - good with the young children in our party too. Made our birthday celebrations really special.

Been here a few times now, and have never been disappointed. Service is always excellent; attentive, understanding and they always give you enough time to finish. The food is superb. It is all nicely spiced, extremely tasty and always piping hot.

This curry has a CV, it's award winning.

Living in Heathfield i lost faith in the indian restaurants so decided to try this one tonight for the first time i can say i will return the food was on point the taste was excellent and i will try eating in the new year. Thank you for a first experience of trying your restaurant.

Excellent food, amazing staff, overall lovely experience.

The Rose of Bengal is an excellent place to eat, socialise with friends and family or dine out with a takeaway! The food we had at our recent family meal was outstanding and authentically cooked freshly to order! The service was first class and the waitress was attentive, but not over powering. We will definitely be back soon!

This was always my go to Indian but lately feel it's gone downhill. The portions seem smaller, the flavour is off not the same and takeaways are never as good as eat in for some reason. I don't know if it's a change of chef? I've gone back to the Raj and it's been very good. Sorry but l like to be honest.

Quite the worst Indian meal I've had in recent times. My Tandoori Chicken was dry as a bone, and my Lamb Rogan Josh ("superb cut of lamb") was inedibly chewy. My wife's samosas were fatty and her Chicken Tikka was chewy and tasteless. It was as though everything had been reheated at least once.

Great food, good menu, fair prices.

Just collected Jafrazy and a hot veg curry are they meant to be cooked in exactly the same soup can't call it a sauce gutted when people rave about the place

Beautifully run restaurant, with superb food! Staff friendly and professional.

We had a takeaway for obvious reasons. The dishes were ok. Unfortunately the chicken was either frozen or really poor quality and this spoilt the meal for us. The lamb tikka was below par. 5/10 overall. Shame because they have been there a long time, maybe too complacent?

Always a good curry & excellent service. Our main curry house for sure.

Just had our first ever takeaway from Rose of Bengal, and it was disappointing. (Eaten in the restaurant before, and it has been really nice in the past). The rice, naan and onion bhajis were lovely, however the main dishes were not great, I had the Chicken Malaya, and the chicken was really really dry, chewy and the sauce tasted artificial, like a cheap curry sauce, no depth of flavour. My mum had Makhani Chicken Tikka, the chicken was ok, but the sauce was almost fluorescent orange which makes you wonder what’s in it and had a strange consistency, and again tasted artificial. However my dad had Lamb Chettinad and he said that was good. So a bit of a mixed bag really.

I am verry happy with the service i received And verry nice food by far the best buhna ive had

Once you've had curry from this place you won't want to go anywhere else. It's exceptional. Best in the UK in my humble opinion. Can't wait to return.

Great meal. Freshly cooked and delicious.

Just ordered a takeaway from this establishment. Not impressed! it’s gone downhill with regards to consistency. Chicken has been over cooked and is very dry able to eat, sauce and rice on the other hand are of an exceptional standard. I’m disappointed as this was considered my favourite place to visit when eating curry

Leaving Crowborough after 8 years and will be sorry not to eat here so often as I have done. I’ve calculated 500+ meals either takeaways and eat ins so that must prove my rating as 5 star plus. People brilliant, food fantastic and service spot on. I’m fairly sure I won’t find anywhere as good in my next town.

Lovely meal as always. Staff very friendly and pleasant. Highly recommend.

Nice food in a contemporary restaurant.

The best Indian food we have had for a very long time. Really pleased and we won’t be going anywhere else in future. Our new favourite local restaurant. Highly recommended.

Emailed the day before to ask about vegan options and was invited to give the restaurant a call. They walked me through which dishes could and could not be made vegan. Ordered a takeaway of masala with plain rice, vegetable samosas, sag aloo, chapati and poppadoms. Advised thirty minute wait which was bang on. Staff were wearing masks when I picked the order up. A slight confusion over which dish had been made vegan but quickly sorted by the staff. Food tasted amazing with good portion sizes. Will definitely order again and visit when lockdown is over.

I've been eating in The Rose of Bengal since I was a kid in the early 80's, the food and service is always superb, highly recommended.

outstanding food and service a special mention to faijul superstar...

Excellent food excellent service as always.

Fabulous food and service as always thank you all

Excellent meal. Quick and polite service.

Been here many many times, always had great food, really good service. Has a nice buzzy atmosphere and you can go for a meal for two or have lots of you and make a really fun evening of it.

Grew up in the town and every time I come back you know the best curry is at the Rose of Bengal. Very friendly team that run the curry house. Food is delicious, if you’re a heat seeker be wary the vindaloo is mild compared to other curry houses in Crowborough. Never fails to disappoint. If you don’t know which to go for always pick here.

I’ve come and gone to Crowborough through my life but after 15years I’ll still always return to the rose of Bengal for a curry. Great team that run it, consistently delicious food and service. For heat seekers worth noting the vindaloo runs mild compared to other curry houses in Crowborough.

The Rose of Bengal has the best Indian food I've ever had! Service is great too.

Visited the wonderful Rose last Saturday night. Excellent food and service as ever! The restaurant was full and buzzing right from relatively early evening, so that goes to show how popular it is! You need to book if it’s a Friday or Saturday or you are likely to be disappointed. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a curry in this area!! Five stars!

Too expensive for the rather poor food.

Excellent food, courteous waitress although service a bit slow on a busy evening. Undoubtedly, we will return.

Met some friends. Place was chock a block Great service and food.

Excellent NYE meal. Amazing service as always and delicious food. Well looked after by the team. Thanks for a great evening.

Always great food and great service from a long standing local family business.

One of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. Looking forward to coming back when I'm in the area.

We had a really good Bengali meal at this restaurant. Excellent food, with great and attentive service. Make sure you book for a Friday, or you will not get a table.

My birthday treat, at the Rose of Bengal, food was fantastic, staff very friendly and helpful, highly recommend. Most impressed

exceptionally warm staff, great variety of authentic dishes

Good food very reasonably priced friendly and professional staff.very good.only minor gripe is it was a bit dimly lit

We have been here often with the family. Staff very friendly, nothing to much trouble. Quick service, food choice good. The only curry house to choose in Crowborough in our opinion.

Eaten here many times, never been disappointed. Staff always friendly and helpful. Quality is consistently the best Indian food I have eaten and I judge all other curries based on their quality, don’t think it’s ever been beaten yet. Always a welcome smile and advice on the food if you require it. Takeaways are also excellent

Always good food and good service

Fantastic service & food with a personal touch. Good portion sizes and cooked to order. I would not try any other curry house and would thoroughly recommend. We will be back. Thank you

Food was absolutely gorgeous and the staff are so lovely. Huge thanks for a lovely night out and meal!

Thanks to all staff for another lovely meal and great service. Really appreciate you fitting us in at last minute. Great

Absolutely delicious food, great service would definitely recommend and return!

Always great been going there for over 25 years best curry for miles and great service

Excellent food and service. Relaxed atmosphere. Hope to go again soon.

We have just has the most amazing. Meal tonight.

Food was, ok nice and hot, but drinks let them down badly, coke came out of a plastic bottle and was warm and not very fizzy. They could do with better lighting, could hardly read menue.

By far the best curry around!!! Authentic and excellent value

As always a good curry always busy and excellent service

Amazing food and amazing service, everytime x

Excellent staff were very friendly food was excellent would definitely recommend

After eating here you take home, at no extra cost, the smell of cooking that lasts for days in your clothes.

What brilliant food, really up there with the best Indian food. Place is centrally located, there is plenty of parking nearby. The staff are pretty good, but its the food. Was pretty quiet the evening we went.

Always good food and gluten-free

Great food and service. Recommended

Significantly better service than 18 drunk rubgy club members deserved, very good food, prompt service with fantastic staff

A few friends and I had a takeaway twice last month-at first I was hesitant to try their food as I have been so disappointed with other local Indian restaurants/takeaways,but a friend who had eaten there before, recommended this place. Have to admit, the food was very tasty and flavoursome -not too greasy/oily,or a soggy mess! .What I rate as extremely important too is the fact that a member of staff was able to point out which dishes were suitable for vegans,and when he wasn't sure about one of my queries, he asked the chef for confirmation.Will be ordering again and probably visit the restaurant in person too.

We have a good selection of curry houses in Crowborough, but the Rose is by far the best. Super friendly staff and cannot make you feel more welcome. The go to place for a sit in meal, but their takeaways are also superb. Naans taste super fresh!

Very good meal. Excellent service.

We have been coming to the Rose of Bengal for family meals and take away for over 20 years now.
