A small and very friendly restaurant. The service was attentive, though not pushy or intrusive. The food was usual Indian favourites and some excellent fish options. It was well cooked and hot, with good flavours. A good place to go for a quiet friendly meal.

I don't ever leave reviews. However, this was so bad I felt compelled to leave one. This is probably the worst Indian food I've ever had. I love the cuisine and am no stranger to what expect but what I got was awful. Tasteless biryani, and a Jalfrezi that has so much spice mix its like eating sand. It didn't even resemble a Jalfrezi. On top of that it was laced in colouring for some reason? No idea how this place has a 4.8 star rating based on what I've had. Avoid at all cost.

First of all these people are racist with Asians . They are running Bangladeshi restaurant pretending to be an Indian restaurant but they are not .Be careful my local mates . Have had worst experience from these misleading Bangladeshi restaurants on the name of Indian restaurants….. No authentic Indian restaurant would ask you popadom in starter but these restaurants do ask and they don’t make Indian dishes as they know local mates don’t know so putting spicy in every dish doesn’t make Indian curry .. In india no one knows these dishes as these are from out of proper authentic Indian menu . Please alert !

Fantastic! I got a take away from here on Sunday and was delighted with my experience. When I got it home, the food was nice and hot, the chicken was so tender and the mushroom rice was perfectly cooked. I've been looking further afield as my recent experiences around Hemel have not been so good. I'm so pleased to have found a restaurant that is so close to home and with such delicious food. After placing my order, I was talking to the waiter (owner!) and he was saying that his dad has owned the restaurant for many years and was in the kitchen, cooking the food. The care that his dad takes in preparing the food was obvious when I got it home. The flavours were perfect, portions were generous and there was not the problem of over-use of oil which I have found at many other establishments. The importance of a business being family owned cannot be overstated. This place really values its' customers as a result of the family connection to the business and take great pride in what they provide. The Bengal Spice will be my regular take-away (or restaurant) and I can't wait to explore some of their more modern/unusual dishes as I'm confident that when they get the basics so perfect, it follows that they will take the same pride in their whole menu.

They had put precautions into place due to the pandemic and we felt very safe eating here. All of the staff were wearing masks and tables were socially distanced. The food was fantastic and such good value as they still run their banquet night on a Friday. Food was freshly cooked and came out promptly. It tasted amazing and we’ll definitely be back soon.

NEVER AGAIN Well, where do I start. I thought I would order me and my partner food from here on her birthday. When calling up, the chap on the other line couldn’t understand what I was asking. Then I wanted to pay by card, we went through it twice and he was obviously getting my details wrong as it was declining so I thought I would save him the trouble and go get the cash out. CALL ENDS. 1 hour and 20 later, the food arrives by a man who tells me he doesn’t know how much the food is. I tell him, they told me it was 31 pound but here have 33 for good gesture. (Bearing in mind I used to love saffron) We tuck in, and it seems to be going well, I get to the bottom of my Jalfrezi and I find a big chunk of sharp metal in my food. I chip my tooth. My partner says I should let them know but I didn’t want to cause fuss. But I thought I would let them know, so when I call they become very dismissive and not one sorry just an enjoy your night. The next day, I get a call back. And it’s the guy who originally took my order; and is shouting the phone at me as if I’m playing a game and I’m making it up. So instead of actually apologising and saying won’t happen again, they blame me! And yelling that I didn’t pay, and that I need to clear my bill. Once I told him I had a ring doorbell his tune changed. I feel he was doing this to disregard anything I was saying about the metal I found. Horrible horrible people. This was my favourite place and I’m quite frankly heartbroken. I’m going to trading standards to seek advice.
