Taste Of Bengal in Dumfries & Galloway

Nice food.. but.. somehow the billed price spiked.. serious service charge applied..£67 for two people with small starter and single drink each

Onion barges We re rock hard Overall meal unsatisfyin Chicken was very dry, popadoms were hard. Not very nice Definitely not worth the money. This shows to be really nice no anymore

Ordered food last night with friends. It was disgusting most went in the bin, never again. Should have stuck to the Greedy Coo it's fab.

We got a carry out with friends, it was disgusting, this takeaway used to be one of the best. Awful won't be back wish we had went to the greedy coo. Lesson learned.

King prawn jalfrezi. 5 small not king prawns very salty Worst I have had very poor quality and value

Totally the best Indian takeaway in Dumfries in my opinion. The Lamb Dhansak is out of this world....

Ordered Chicken Tikka main, what I received was a few small pieces of black chicken with fried onions in a tray swimming in grease. Disgusting.

Great tasting food. Generous portions.

Very disapointing Chicken tikka masala one very large carton of sauce with only 4 pieces of chicken, sauce tastless very little spice in it. Definitely not worth £8.70. Nan Bread cold and doughy. Won't be using again.

Tikka chasni had 6 tiny pieces of chicken, just a big tray of sauce. Garlic naan had no garlic, poppadoms were soggy and the daal was like water. We used to love this place, won't be back, plenty of competition in Dumfries to be serving food like this.

Probably the worst I have ever had

Recommended by parents, this certainly did not disappoint. Lovely Tika masala. Nice and light. Will definitely be back

Food was shocking when call they offered 20% of next order it was insult we never hardly eat any of food the was nowt like it used to be we have use this take way for years we will not be back and use can keep your 20% off

Just moved to Dumfries and my mum and I really like Indian takeaways, so we decided to give taste of bengal a go as the first takeaway to try since moving here. Ordered at 6.45pm and was told it’d be 45-60 mins delivery. Got an estimated delivery time of between 7.40-8pm. Got to 8.20pm and still no food. My mum decided to call the takeaway to see what was going on, only for the guy on the phone to be completely dismissive, claiming it normally always takes this long for deliveries!? Said it was with the driver now and wouldn’t be long. Got to 8.45pm and still no food! My mum rang again, only to have the phone be put down on her. She rang once again, asking where the food was, the guy tried to tell us it had already been delivered. Put us on hold to ring the driver. Food eventually arrived around 5 mins later, 2 hours after we had ordered. Food was cold and therefore the food wasn’t nice, and the service was just shocking. Will definitely not be ordering from here again.

Stayed a few days in Dumfries and got a delivery from here. For £23 we got cold food, chips that looked like Mcdonalds fries and onion bhajis you couldnt get a knife through. Korma had about 5 small bits of chicken that were so dry, madras wasn't much better. Never again, not worth the money.

Delicious food - especially the chicken chaat. The special for two was an absolute steal at £20 and was ready in twenty five minutes. Really pleasant staff. Highly recommend.

The food it's always lovely and tasty, sometimes you wait a little long but I think that it's worth it, I've almost tried all the menu and it's so nice and fresh. Spot on.

A shocker of a take away. Without question the worst I,ve ever tasted, absolutly no Indian taste or spice. First time ever done so, phoned them up to complain was met with well that's then way it goes attitude. stay well clear. if could give a zero I would

Had a takeaway again from taste of Bengal on Saturday . Arrived a little late but absolutely fine . Delivered safely and food hot . Everything delicious. Could not fault anything .

The food is tasty and is fresh.

Eat here regularly. The chicken pakora and sauces are fantastic. They do a meal for 2 offer that would probably do more than that in my opinion. Spent a good while trying indians to find somewhere that did a decent Indian main like chasne/jalfrezi. Have since been here multiple times as it’s miles better than anywhere else I’ve tried. Can’t fault it!

I arrived at allotted time and had over 25 minutes to hang about. We sat down to eat and yet again they had forgotten to put sauce in for starters 😡 sooo annoying. My husband said his jalfreizi was good but my Prawn Pathia was not. I wish they would go to a city restaurant and get some lessons in how to make naan bread.. not good. Unfortunately it’s still the best of a bad bunch so we very rarely have an Indian meal anymore although it’s by far our favourite meal choice.

Second visit to this takeaway. First visit involved an online order with a pick up time stated. On arrival at the correct time it became apparent that nothing had been prepared for my arrival. A full 45 minute wait then ensued. Today trip was equally disappointing. Entered and asked politely if I could order food. Member of staff muttered ‘45 minutes’ no explanation, apology or politeness. Left to check this time was in order with family. Having this confirmed and whilst continuing to wear a face mask I approached the counter. At this point the same member of staff gesticulated at me and ordered me to step further back. Whilst I understand her need for social distancing she displayed a complete lack of knowledge. More to the point if I had stepped back in what is a very small area I would have been even closer to another customer who was waiting for his food. Very very disappointing. Politeness is a two way thing!!!!!

Great food, very good prices, especially the the deals for 2 etc.

Was told after already waiting 1hr for the meal we ordered via Just eat, that once we went to collect it that it would be a further 10-15 minutes. We then stood and waited another hour and a half before we eventually got our food. Definitely not worth the money as everything we got was greasy and not very good, all 3 naans we got were beyond burnt and for sure not worth the 2hr wait or all that money!

Had to wait extra time to collect because the kitchen was having trouble deciphering which order was which as “too many came in at the same time”. When we got our food the curry (which was meant to be a creamy coconut) was swimming in about 2cm of oil, resembled a water-like consistency and and was so bland it was barely touched. The naan bread was completely burnt and only barely edible. All in all a waste of money, won’t be back.

I decided to try something new but i was really disappointed what i got everything was swimming in oil. The salad came in a plastic bag and it was all soggy. The popodom was all broken and the nan bread was just edible. Won't go back.

Fantastic value for money, particularly the set meal for one.

I struggled to find a decent restaurant in Dumfries on a Sunday evening, so I decided to have a takeaway instead. After reading feedback on here and on Just Eat, it looked like the Taste of Bengal would be a good choice. WRONG! There are so many bad points that it'll be quicker to bullet-point them:- 1 - The Mixed Kebab was served in a paper bag, and looked disgusting 2 - The Chicken Pakora consisted of a thin slice of chicken tikka in over-fried greasy batter 3 - The Onion Bhaji contained very little onion, or flavour, unless you enjoy the taste of old oil 4 - The menu offers "Chips," but what you actually get is a bag of cold, limp greasy barely edible french fries 5 - The Garlic Keema Naan was drier than the paper bag it came in, and the tasteless keema inside it had the appearance of sawdust 6 - The mint sauce was pink. I mean, REALLY?! 7 - The salad was sweating in a plastic bag, warm lettuce covered in water in a bag isn't ideal 8 - The Tandoori Special Starter actually contained decent Chicken Tikka and Lamb Tikka, but the bottom of the container contained a large pool of oil, rendering the meat barely edible This was a total waste of money, I ate very little of it, and I'm at a loss to understand the rave reviews on here. I've eaten a lot of Indian food, and this is the worst I've had, I'd avoid it at all costs!

The food was good but had to wait for 40 minutes for it

Think you should buy containers to keep orders hot. Our order tonight was nice but not very hot.

Best take away in town. The currys are fantastic and meat is very tender, and very well priced. I especially like the pakora sauce. Most definitely 10/10. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend this Takeaway for Indian cuisine. Thanks Taste of Bengal for the superb meals, will be back .

Always great food from here. Chicken pakora is awesome.

Regularly visited when we lived this side of town but having moved we hadn't eaten from here in years. Got a set meal for two for £20 which fed 3 of us with lots of left overs. Lovely delicious hot fresh food bursting with flavour. Glad we decided to revisit + we will most definitely be back. Best take away in town!

Love the food from here, definitely one of my go to places for a tasty takeaway. The chicken pakora is possibly the best I have had and I have sampled a few over the years. Highly recommended.

Cheap and cheerful. Food traditional and tasty

The food was hot, prompt and very taste. The taste of Bengal must be the best Indian takeaway in the area which provides excellent service.

Best Indian in Dumfries by a mile!

Every meal I have had out of here has been first class, definitely recommend going if you want Indian

I have never had anything but beautiful food from this little take away. The staff are always friendly, very polite and happy to recommend a dish when I can't make a decision. I love this place and it is so worth my 20 mile round trip. Thankyou.

Superb meal, very reasonable prices.

This his a take away. We ordered a meal each with rice and garlic mushrooms and got pompadoms as well. It was one meal free. It was almost too much so we saved one meal for next night. Took about 15 minutes to make.

Just ordered a take away every thing ok apart from we ordered A bangla mash dupiaza which was a monk fish curry, we were given smoked salmon instead of monk fish, we were not made aware of this on collection. The smoked salmon was way too strong and we could not eat this dish. So please be aware when make your ordering this dish as you may get smoked salmon instead of monk fish. I also had to put my dish in the microwave as its wasnt hot enough and i only stay 2 mins from resturant

Placed an order on just eat. Told it would be ready by 6pm. Went in to collect and told wouldn't be long. Fine, waited 20 mins longer and asked again about my order. Once again told it wouldn't be long. Fast forward another 20 mins, still no food. Enough was enough asked for my money back. Complete joke. WONT BE BACK......EVER!!!!!

Really delicious Indian food and not overly spicy with too much ginger and garlic like most Glasgow Indian Restaurants and take aways are. Although Glasgow Indian Cuisine is Punjabi Influenced and this place is Bengali influenced, so two totally different types of food to be fair. This places food is so delicious!!! My only request is PLEASE PLEASE open up a place in Glasgow!!!! Glasgow only has Punjabi influenced Indian food and needs an alternative, it needs a Bengali Take away or restaurant. What do you think Owners? or anyone else want to open up a Bengali Take away or restaurant in Glasgow? PLEASE

Good deal buy 1 main meal get 1 free

Pedimos una comida para llevar y nos aconsejaron sería de 30 minutos. Llegamos a recoger y terminamos esperando otros 15 minutos como el entrante Cordero tikka no habían sido procesados. Los pedidos preparó Masala, pollo, cordero y el cordero Biryiani Tikka. Como habíamos tenido que esperar por el plato y la biryiani masala ahora tibia, el pan nan fue flojo, incluso los poppadoms estaban empezando a wilt. El Cordero Masala fue de lejos el mejor plato, el pollo en el biryiani trozos eran muy seco y el cordero Tikka sin duda no vale la pena la espera! Esta es la tienda de comida para llevar de la joya de la Corona y no le hace ningún favor a su restaurante principal sirviendo de tibia, comida insípida, seco. No volveré pronto.

food always first class. Midweek specials are great, buy one curry get one free. Everything tastes like it is freshly cooked and you can taste all the individual spices

Whilst the food is tasty and inexpensive, the last and final meal I had from there was when my wife found a fly in her curry sauce.

Went for takeaway tonight and got home to find pakora had no dip or salad with it, I rang up and young man kept trying to tell me you don't get dip or sauce with the pakora! Spoke to another gent who apologised for the mistake but no solution, meal ruined, that 3 times out of 5 there have been items missing from order, so check before you leave folks as it seems to be a bad habit

Este tiene que ser el mejor indio en Dumfries de lejos! Pedimos comida para llevar, el frente de la casa que tomó nuestra orden era encantador, educado y amable, y el chico entrega altas fue un hombre amable, educado, de madrugada.

Desearía haber escrito esta crítica después de nuestra última comida hace dos semanas. Por desgracia, el mismo problema de leña surge otra vez. Coherencia parece ser el gran problema. Hemos usado este realizar mucho a lo largo de los años, pero siempre encontramos a suertes. Hace dos semanas me podría decir honestamente que fue la mejor comida que tuvimos desde un restaurante indio en Dumfries nunca. Ganas de repetir, pedimos las mismas comidas y esta noche terminó siendo volver donde estábamos en los últimos años. Es a suertes. Esta noche no era bastante que desear, pero si hace dos semanas era un 10 Este fue un 6. Simplemente no entiendo cómo pueden aceptar tal incoherencia.

Es mejor Indian para llevar en Dumfries por sabor y calidad. Es una buena elección y la oferta a mediados de semana es una buena relación calidad-precio para 2 platos principales por el precio de 1. La única crítica es a veces tienen que esperar más tiempo de lo que dijeron pero parece ser cocinados a la orden así que puede esperar que algunos retrasos, supongo.

The food here is excellent. Never had a bad meal. Plenty of choice, freshly prepared to order. The butter chicken is fabulous.

Could not find fault with any of the dishes we bought. 20 quid for two meals with starters, rice, sides and naan. Very quickly delivered hot and tasty dinner.

Often come here for the BOGOF deal they run. Prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of meat with your curries. Naans are huge. Consistently good.

Fui con amigos y todos nos lo pasamos Tikka masala con pan Naan. Este se servía muy rápidamente, y es probablemente la mejor Tikka masala que he tenido. El servicio era fantástico y todos los camareros son muy atentos.

The Taste of Bengal is without a doubt the best source for authentic Indian food in Dumfries. Over the years every dish I have had from here has been excellent and consistantly so. The staff are very friendly and helpful too.

La muy pequeña para llevar, la comida es de alto nivel y bastante rápido, pero bien preparada. Grandes porciones por lo tanto una gran relación calidad-precio. Gran comida para llevar. Incluso pizza, pizza de pollo Tikka también era estupenda y no cuesta un riñón.

One of the nicest I've ever had. Beautiful large slices of chicken breast in a hot garlic sauce (can't remember the name of the dish - think it was Thala). The owner even gave me a lift back to my b&b. What a lovely man he was. Highly highly recommended.

This is the best Indian takeaway in Dumfries. The Taste of Bengal is owned by the same people who run the Jewel in the Crown, and it shows. I would say that the Taste of Bengal's food is of better quality than the Jewel, at a very good price, with amazing deals and set meals. The best Indian takeaway in Dumfries.

tried this the other night as daksh was busy i could taste the difference as this food was not cooked from fresh still a good we takeaway apart from my nan bread being burnt to a crisp my poppadoms mostly broken what a will say is they do a yellowish sauce ie dip that is stunning best ive tasted

Takeaway from here, took 40 minutes and was not worth the wait. Chicken madras was awful, no taste apart from garlic, peshwarri naan was like one from supermarket, will not be back

just had a vindaloo from the taste of Bengal very tasty well worth a visit and very good value for money. At the moment they have on an offer buy one curry get one free rice is separate, but still good value.
