In case you'd not notice in previous reviews. I am technically a 'track-basher' a sub-division of train-spotting. I have travelled on 80% of the UK rail network, with my friend Phil, the WHOLE Irish (N+S) network and the Dutch network apart from Gouda cos of engineering. Chiz chiz.Anyway my sister live near Church Fenton and picked my family and I up at Church Fenton station about 30 years ago. I was intrigued by this Indian above the railway but only persuaded my Sister and 2 brothers-in-law (one called NeAl, the other NeIl, what family fun that's caused over the years) to visit last night. Anyway the very pleasant maitre'd soon picked up the vibe and we were sat by a window, open curtains for a good view of the lineside activity. He took the order with expert advice and suggestions. I had a Shami Kebab with Lamb Moss Balti, pilau rice and a chapati. They do have some 'signature dishes, Joy Bangla and the eponymous Sungar Balti I was advised may have too many vegetables for you Sir, but NeIl took the chance. Sister tried and enjoyed the fried fish starter and the King Prawn main as well. She's always loved fish, not like me at all. I did spend a lot of time on the platforms ... but all enjoyed their meals.The venue is part of the old booking office and it features several photographs of the station as it was. Good value and especially recommended to ECML enthusiasts.

Sunar Bangla is somewhere we can count on for wonderful food and amazing service. Nig and his staff are always friendly and welcoming, with great suggestions for alternatives to our usual favourites. Church Fenton has been extremely fortunate to have this restaurant in the village for so long, being an even greater asset during Covid.

Do not let the train station fool you! Me and my partner found this hidden gem by accident due to missing our time slot at a pub further up road we decided to try and find somewhere else since we travelled 20 minutes already I refused to turn back home without having a full belly first! I was skeptical at first with it being inside a train station but seen this restaurant had fantastic reviews so we decided to try it and was the best decision. I’m going back and taking more people with me to try. The waiters absolutely fantastic so polite and nice called me and my partner sir and madam they can not do enough for you and advise you to tell them if your food needs anything doing to it such as less spices or more spices they want you to have a good time and enjoy what your eating. It’s not just your everyday Indian cuisine it’s authentic probably the best Indian food I have ever had and the prices are good too so cheap for the food that you receive. It’s small and personal and I have never had such good customer service in my life we tipped at the end and the waiter was so greatful and couldn’t say thank you enough. It’s clean and the food comes out hot and quick I can’t wait to go back and try rest of the menu

Having arrived in Church Fenton for a week's holiday we didn't fancy cooking so ordered a take-away meal form Sunar Bangla. The food, service and the bottle of beer were all excellent. We had lamb balti with rice, naan and a side of bombay aloo. The food was well cooked and not greasy like Indian food can sometimes be.

We tried Sunar Bangla for a takeaway during a recent visit to Fenton and were so impressed that we were back there again a couple of nights later. There was great variety to the menu, the chef's specials we tried were distinctive and the daal was perfect. Prices were very reasonable for everything and the staff were incredibly friendly and polite. Will definitely back on future visits to the area. Only one slight inconvenience - cash only.

Brought our friend who lives in Scarborouh to try, and he loved it. As per usual, the curry is spot on. They always make me a nut free chicken Tikka as it's my all time fav! The main waiter is the most humble, courteous and friendly person ever! They even gave me a bunch of flowers when I came for a birthday meal with some friends!! We use this curry house every time! I wish they took card as sometimes we have to have other take aways/go to the pub down the road because we dont have cash and church Fenton doesn't have a cash machine! But other than that, perfect! Mmmm I want a curry now....

My friends loved the food and were so surprised at the warmth of the hospitality shown to them.

Having tried a few of the other local takeaways, this has to be by far my favourite. Fantastic experience from start to finish. They are all lovely, so nice and polite on the phone when taking the order. Didn't make me feel rushed once even though it was no doubt a busy Saturday night for them. Collection was the same, very warm welcome. We arrived slightly early to collect but our food was ready promptly. The food itself was delicious, fantastic flavour and quality all for a very reasonable price. This one is definitely worth the drive to the next village for so we will 100% be returning!

This Bangladeshi Restaurant in the village of Church Fenton is very special. It is located at the train station and the dishes are very delicious. The service is superb. The owner Nidge is so attentive and kind. My favourite starter is the Chicken Chaat or the Royal Mixed Kebab, both of which are delicious and for main course try the 'Bangla Taste', chicken or lamb. or the 'Moss Balti'. You can get a train from Leeds or York (under 15mins). NO CARDS ACCEPTED. We in our village are so lucky to have this wonderful eatery on our doorstep. You will so enjoy this experience. We go every weekend! ENJOY!

This place is a hidden gem....it is an old railway ticket office in the station so does not have the goldfish bowl feel that lots of other restaurants do. The food is top class and this place goes down a storm with locals and surrounding villages- either sit down or take away. Staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. It is cash only but there is a big notice on the door as you enter - most people are happy enough to pay cash for the quality they are going to receive and most of the footfall is localish and know the set up. Definitely worth a visit!

This was our first and last visit. We wanted to try somewhere new and this is only a few miles from where we live but honestly it was disappointing. The decor was what you used to see in Indian restaurants in the 70s and 80s and the food was very unexciting. The waiter was rather strange too calling us " my dears" about ten times in a creepy way. All this is incidental as our main gripe was that when it came to settling the bill we were told it's CASH ONLY! In this day and age?! We were mortified. We had to scrape together coins from my parking money in my car outside and so on. Be aware. They were very understanding to be fair but we were astounded and mortified.

This little restaurant is built in what was the old station ticket office. It's on the main road and there is on street parking - if you get there early enough. We booked, which was a good move, it got busy very quickly, One of our party had the mixed kebab to start, I went for the Kind Prawn Purée. It was very good, The puree was served on one side, the prawns and sauce on the other - the prawns really were king prawns (well, they aren't always) and the sauce was just right.For the main, I had the chicken alam - the chicken was sliced and very tender. I'm not quite sure how they onions on top were cooked, but they were sliced and very tasty. It looked as though the chicken was marinated in tikka marinade. The dish was very hot and spicy, as advertised. I had the peas pilau rice, which was full of peas, probably the most I have ever had in a rice (that was good, I love peas). The portions of rice were very generous, as was the naan. One of my friends had chicken tikka masala, which she said was delicious. I can't remember what the other one had. The service was good, and the owner was absolutely charming. We all enjoyed the food, and certainly didn't leave hungry. It was well worth the visit and it I were in the area again, I'd go back again.

This restaurant originally was Church Fenton's train station ticket office. It was converted to an Indian 18 years ago; even now as a curry house it hasn't lost its original charm and has many black and white photographs of both Indian and British railways We love it Some may say it's dated, we love that they haven't forgotten the original purpose of the building The food is excellent We have visited Akbars in York & Bradford and we think the food is just as good. However the service by far exceeds that of larger restaurants such as Akbars / mumtaz / Aagrahs Nij is very personable, he goes above and beyond for his customers whether it's your first time visiting or you're a regular He makes everyone who enters feel like a long lost friend.Nothing Is to much trouble I described my favourite dish when we visited and he adapted a dish from the menu for me.I also mentioned that I like Indian chai tea, again this isn't on the menu, yet Nij spent time making me one which ended up being the best chai tea I've ever tasted. He also suggested it's even better with a biscuit and gave me a timeout from his own lunchbox!As a family we've tasted most dishes from the menu and can honestly say all have been delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant and tell all our friends, family & colleagues to visit as soon as you can !

I love this restaurant. We always go early on a Friday and ask for the same table so my little boy can watch the trains whizz underneath us as we nibble on a naan. The moment you walk in the staff make you feel like royalty, without being over the top or 'just for tips'. They are so polite, kind and remember small details such as how we like our biryani (extra peas, sauce on the side for our fussy 5 year old) and the fact that I love a spinach chicken tikka curry and a g n t. The food is always delicious and fresh. It never has that layer of greasy oil and ghee that you get in some restaurants. I never feel guilty eating here and always leave feeling contented.

(they like to give you roses on V day from your 'partner') however, they forgot mine and the lovely man came running out after us to give me it.We had a fab night and I would recommend it to anyone.Hidden gem.

Love this place. Staff are amazingly attentive and remember you even if you haven't been for ages. Food is superb. A good variety and always tasty. Well spiced. Takeaway as good as eating in. When you go elsewhere for a curry you soon realise just how tasty this food is.

We have been going to this venue for many years and the service and quality of the food never varies. Can only be said to be first class every time we go.Also on the plus side we are only about 1 mile away.

we arrived without booking thinking when we saw the restaurant nearly full but a table was sorted out for both of us.as per previous review its a experience to savor right from the starters to the mains (we took the sunar Joy options) with side dishes).again cannot fault at all, it makes a change to eat the cuisine that's as so many differant tastes and flavors to the palate a testimony to the chef"s backstage.drinks taken Bangla beer recommended Bangladeshi originated certainly as a differant flavor.the staff look after every need even going through the menu card to explain right to meet greet and departing the Sunar we both agreed it was 11/10 for a great evening judging by the locals calling in its a very popular takeaway option as-wellso if your looking for some top Asian food you'd do well to take a ride out and call in at church fenton Sunar

Nidge and his staff are ultimately professional and courteous. We have been going for meals and takeaways at sunar for 16 years and have never had a bad meal or experience. It's not fine dining, I'm sure there's other places for that, but the food is amazing and the service impeccable. You make a friend when you go here and you won't regret it. Don't forget your cash though as no card machine or cash machine locally. Well done sunar Bangl!

Proud to have given the Suna Bangla its first TA review 6 years ago and it's still the best Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant in Yorkshire.Nij makes the pickles & chutneys that go with the poppadums himself, great way to start. Always enjoy a bottle of Bangla Beer and Joy Church Fenton is my favourite curry, bar none!

With an over night stay in Church Fenton the four of us visited the restaurant for evening dinner having had it recommended. We were not disappointed, met by friendly staff in nice surroundings and looking over the railway. The service was excellent as was the food. All four of us enjoyed the Pickle tray, our starters and our mains. We had four beers and a glass of red wine and the bill was ever so reasonable. Do visit if you are in the area you too will not be disappointed.

Enjoyed our first meal at this restaurant recently. Met by Nidge who was extremely welcoming and who took our orders promptly. Service was very quick and staff were only too happy to accommodate diners various choices which differed slightly from the menu offered. The food was excellent and all served in a spacious room where noise from other tables was not a problem. We hope this first visit will not be our last.

I used to come here a few years ago with my Husband but to take-away. We have since moved to Selby so didn't go there for take-aways anymore.A couple of months ago, i suggested coming here to celebrate and I have been 3 times since the middle of June. I am pregnant and this place seems to be my craving!! The Korma is absolutely gorgeous and the owner, Nidge recommends some lovely dishes for my Husband. I think it is called 'The Sunar Bangla' I could be wrong but it is so nice. Would always recommend this place to anyone. In fact I quite fancy going tonight. Hmmm.

I have been to this restaurant many times now with my family and I would say as a family, it is our favourite place to eat! As soon as you walk in the staff and very friendly and attentive and give you a good amount of time to peruse the menu! We always get a curry dish each and share rice and chapatis as it is so filling! The portion sizes are excellent! Just enough to keep you full! The onion bhajis and chicken pakoras are firm favourites of ours and we get them all the time! If i could recommend a dish to anyone I would recommend the chilli chicken garlic balti! Lnocks your socks off but has so much flavour and plenty of sauce to dip the chapati in! This restaurant ticks all the boxes and is very good value for money!

We have dined here on a number of occasions, the welcome is always warm and attentive.It will be hard to find better food than that which is served here.Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at this excellent restaurant, even a drink accidentally knocked over was swiftly dealt with, the table cloth being changed and the table reset in seconds.

Just moved into the area a week ago and thought we'd try this place for our first curry. Everything from its quirky location, customer service and food were excellent. As we paid the bill (which was very reasonable) we were asked if we had enjoyed our first visit as the patron said he didn't recognise us. Can't fault this restaurant. We will return.

Friendly staff with a large menu. If I had to calibrate their idea of 'hot' (in the spicy sense), then the hottest dish they have (a Ceylon) is nuclear. It's a good place to go after / between beers at the White Horse. WARNING! They don't take credit / debit cards and there's no cashpoint nearby.

My first visit here, although passing by on several occasions. The service could not have been better. Really attentative and considerate and even gave us a Christmas card when we left!!Food was very tasty and the menu was full of house specials, so there was plenty to choose from dishes which are not on other menus. If there was a negative and I'm being really picky here. For my pallet, I would have liked a bit more chilli heat in my food. Told you I was being picky. Would I go back, for sure and it won't be too far distant either. It gets my vote.

Got a couple of takeouts from here whilst staying over on business. Excellent choice and quality and had a beer whilst waiting. Would recommend. Side point - no card facilities, cash only but worth going to the cash point for!
