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 👏

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ordered from here and it cost £35 for plain rice, chicken fried rice, sweet and sour vegetables, crispy chilli chicken, chips, salt and chilli chips and spring rolls. First of all, the spring rolls didn’t arrive and the chicken dish was wrong. we couldn’t get through to the restaurant. The sweet and sour vegetables were absolutely disgusting, didn’t taste of sweet and sour and had a horrible smell. The rice was alright (how hard is it?) and the chips were very plain. I am a vegan and ordered the sweet and sour vegetables as there is the standard green leaf next the dish on the menu but I found a small bit of chicken in the sauce. It did only take about 15 minutes to arrive but the food was so disgusting, we couldn’t eat most of it. For £35, we each ate rice and chips as the main dishes were so god awful and inedible. Would not recommend at all, don’t do it to yourself.
