The Rose of Bengal in Boston

Possibly a bad night but the two portions of Lamb Tikka which arrived late were hated by both diners as it was rock hard and tough even when cut with difficulty Told when complaining that noone had ever complained before and it was perfect and as it should be. . .. what? Supposed to be inedible?this arrogance really annoyed us.If this was a first ever complaint a refund should have been offered not a denial and rudeness. I will not be trying them again Good reviews are their old reviews Some say it's gone downhill since then.

We went in and were attended to promptly and ordered drinks. When they arrived they were warm as though not refrigerated. Having experienced this we did not expect the meals to be very good. Happily we were wrong with all starters and main meals tasty and well cooked. I would have no problem visiting again but would not order drinks.

Very nice food and delivered in time slot ...for me could of done with a bit more spice/heat but lovely all the same 4/5 and would order again

This restaurant was excellent, it has now been open under new management for sometime but the quality of food is poor. There is little taste and even the colour is off putting.

Ordered food online at 7.30pm and it arrived at 11pm. When I got to the restaurant before it closed to ask where it was I found the restaurant to be empty with 6 members of staff just standing around, staff purposefully not answering the phone having tried over 10x ourselves (some occasions they would pick the phone up and then just hang up) to then be told our food had just left. When I said that wasn't good enough and can I have a refund they did not want to know. No apology either, they just said it was a 'busy' night and we can have a discount if we ring through an order in the future. I don't know how that would work when they didn't take note of our order. Then when we sat down to eat it, it was full of chilli's and pretty much inedible (and I can handle a few chilli's normally) I don't think a pathia is supposed to be full of green chillies - certainly hasn't in any I've had before. So all in all a terrible experience and we won't be ordering again!

Came here for my birthday meal with friends, waited well over an hour for our starters in a half empty restaurant. The mains came out and they messed up 2 of the mains, simply dreadful I've been here before and it was never this bad! Won't be coming back any time soon.

Decided to have a curry and called in here ,looks like it could do with some new decor. It was banquet night ,ordered our food which took quite a while .It was not busy so don’t no what the delay was.Food was okay but the tarka dal was boiling hot and more like soup was not impressed with it at all the rest was just mediocre.Also there was quite a few people walking into the kitchen which did not look like staff,thought that was not good and what is going on should not have every Tom dick and Harry in there.Used to be packed on Banquet nights but I think it’s lost it’s charm

First time back after reopening we all had meat samosas for starters filling was very different from anything we had before more of a paste than chopped meat. Apart from that main meals where all good naans where spot on same with rice and sag aloo I personally had the minty lamb lovely meat and good heat

wow! This time I shall say I am very happy how they have re opened tastier and better. such nice staff quick service and very welcoming. Everything with the food was nice, and portions are just right. if you have had a bad experience before , definitely pop in again.

I ordered my normal from them and they took nearly 2 hours to get to me. They didnt know where i lived so tried to deliver but couldnt and didnt tell me until i rang them! And when i finally got it my order was wrong! I tried ringing then 3 times and it just rang through. So annoyed

Went for a meal here for the first time in a while and was very disappointed. It’s the little things that make eating out an enjoyable experience. The poppadoms looked out of a supermarket packet and one was only half sized, the food was ok but considering the restaurant was empty we were constantly being bothered by the waiting staff, we were told when we left that it was shutting early because it wasn’t busy so I guess we were in the way, if that’s the way paying customers are treated then I’m not surprised it was empty! Won’t be paying another visit.

Nipped in for a take out last night as a last minute decision. Had several dishes and all were excellent. All tasted fresh and very tasty. Coconut rice was delicious! This place deserves the repeat business.

I have known the Rose of Bengal for some years, but not visited for a long time. The place is smaller than it used to be, but it has a cosy atmosphere. Food is good and gets to you nuce and hot. Couple of issues: Firstly- I visited alone, but had to sit on a small table rather a larger one even though I was one only 3 people in the place! Waiter insisted even though I pointed out that I was hardly taking up a table that would be needed anytime soon. Secondly - no desserts at all! How can a well run restaurant run out of desserts? Not good. Worth a visit, but watch out if you go alone or want a pudding!

Best Indian in Boston, both eat in and take away. Food always hot (cooked) and spiced to menu spec. Take away are always delivered quickly. Banquet is excellent value.

There are three Indian restaurants quite close together in West Street so we chose this one based on good Trip Advisor feedback. Turned out to be a good choice. The bill was very reasonable too. If you are going out for a curry in Boston, go to the Rose of Bengal. Best for indian food in Boston.

I have been twice in the past 3 weeks & it was lovely each time. Wed/thurs/fri they do a starter/main/side & rice for a set price which is great. Their minty lamb is to die for & very friendly staff.

We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table as they were very busy when we arrived (we hadn't booked). Sat and had a pint of Kingfisher so no problem! The food was fairly prompt after ordering even with being so busy. Food was very tasty and I wouldn't hesitate to go back again in the future.

Great food freshly prepared , the banquet evenings are extremely good value, Very friendly staff and very authentic Indian dishes, recommend the Chicken Tikka Bhuna and The Special Garlic Chicken...both are delicious..Although to be fair so are all the dished on the menu..these just happen to be my favourites.

I go there with my partner as she has allergies and the chef is happy to work with it , good quality food , intelligent service and willing to help . No obstacle too large. Good stuff .

We received a takeaway this weekend. Delivery prompt and driver lovely, initially the food looked nice and was piping hot. However the quality of the ingredients was very poor with the chicken being totally inedible. We have used the Rose of Bengal for several years...

We have used this restaurant for many years but this year have found reason to complain on three separate occasions, Today we were sent a meal to apologise for an inedible takeaway sent to us two weeks ago, we expected today's meall to be of...

I've eaten here a few times and the meals although nothing special have been ok, this all came to an end when a friend of mine was asked to do some work in the kitchen. He arrived at 7am only to find on his arrival...

Hemos ido a este restaurante un par de veces en el pasado, así que no tenían miedo a probar de nuevo, pero el saludo cordial de la camarera y el camarero nos hizo sentir más que bienvenido.

Tenemos comida para llevar desde aquí cada viernes por la noche y siempre esperamos y a veces ponen una botella de vino.

Vine aquí con amigos y a su recomendación. Entrantes: - muy buen tamaño. Generoso. Yo tenía pollo Charla Puri. Principales: - como es la norma, mi esposa y yo compartimos una porción de arroz. Esto era más que suficiente en cantidad. Yo tenía pollo Samba....

Que siempre son bienvenidos por el personal, normalmente está en él y Kay que recuerda de visita previa. La comida es fresca y sabrosa bien presentado, puedo recomendar el Bombay aloo es tan sabrosa, si vas el Miércoles, Jueves y Viernes hacen un banquete que...

During short stop over in Boston we picked up a takeaway and were very impressed with the food. There are 3 restaurants almost next to each over and this one has the better hygiene rating. Portions were generous, meat nice and tender and flavour very good -we eat and cook plenty of curry. Service was quick although it was early on Saturday evening and better priced than our local takeaway in rural Wiltshire

First time ever of ordering and eating from here. Shocking. Chips tasted like they were cooked two days ago (all 4 portions). Tandoori tasteless. The sauces are watery and generally low quality. What a shame. Rubbish.

We visited as a party of twelve for my wife's birthday and had a great evening. Service was very attentive if a touch slow. The food was superb and recommend the lamb methi.

Had my first visit to this Indian Resraurant on Friday lunch. Found excellent value for money menu. Great food served with equally great service! Deffinately worth a visit!

A birthday meal with the family great night superb Indian food great service very friendly staff can highly recommend this Indian restaurant if your in Boston

There are three Indian restaurants quite close together in West Street so we chose this one based on good Trip Advisor feedback. It was quite empty early in the evening but turned out to be a good choice.Service was attentive and, although the restaurant may not look anything special, it's a very long time since I had such a tasty meal. The bill was very reasonable too. If you are going out for a curry in Boston, go to the Rose of Bengal.

Had some good meals and some good from here in the past.Not this time. Ordered a home delivery takeaway. Food arrived within a reasonable time. It was warm rather than hot, but hey ho. However order was incomplete. Rang restaurant who were a little blasé about it and admitted our order was wrong but that we hadn't been charged for the food we hadn't received.Sorry but not the point. Account credited with the amount wr hadn't been charged for the food we didn't receive. Pity we won't be rushing back.

Was good enough for Prince Harry - yes he really did eat here. Had probably the nicest Jalfrezi I have ever eaten here back in February.

Me & my boyfriend often use this restaurant whether for date nights or for take aways & we've never had a bad meal for there.It's the only Indian in town we use really.Kormas, lamb rogan josh & chicken tikkas are lovely.Can never fault the service either. They are always friendly & smiling even we you can see they're clearly rushed off their feet. Even offer to tub your leftovers up if you cant finish it all.

Another of my favourite restaurants, takeaway or eat in, they do specials through the week, food very good and staff very friendly.

Neat little restaurant quickly serving well presented tasty food from a wide menu. Waiters were very pleasant and efficient. Excellent value for money

Really enjoyed my meal here. Well worth a visit! Service is excellent and the food very good too. Not too expensive and fairly central

We have become regular visitors over the last few years. Always excellent. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Great food, staff, atmosphere, pricing and decor. It's that good even Prince Harry has been. They have a great selection of Indian cuisine and will even tailor to your own tastes if you ask the friendly staff.

Warm welcome. Service was excellent. Food was outstanding and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We have been coming to Boston for a few years now and always visit the Rose of Bengal a number of times throughout the caravan season. We have always found the staff to be very welcoming and friendly and always find the food to be second to none. Nothing is too much trouble and if you want your dish hotter /milder just tell them and it will be cooked to your preference. We really miss this restaurant in the winter month's.

I travel the whole of the UK with my job and usually have 2 currys a week.I have eaten in a lot on Indian reteraunts and can say this is high in my rankings.I was in the Boston area for 3 nighs and this was my second curry of the week.It was the better of the 2 by quite a margin.A warm welcome, the staff were very friendly and explained a few of the dishes to my colleagues that were not too familiar with the menu, and the food was very good.I would recommend if you are in the area and looking for a curry house, look no further than here.

I have visited this place regularly it is the best curry house in Boston. The food is good the service is excellent the staff are friendly and helpful the house special is excellent and I would recommend it to all that like a good curry.

Our favourite Indian restaurant in Boston, always a warm and friendly welcome and good service. The delicious menu is very varied and as we like to try different dishes, this is no problem with so much on offer. The waiters offer good advice if asked. I wish they would revamp the very tired and rundown interior and warm the place up a bit. We usually go early evening, when Initially I keep my coat on until the place (or me) heats up. My biggest bugbear is the tough meat. Lamb dishes are one of my favourites but very hard going even with good strong teeth. Overall still good, but place needs a bit of a shake up to stay ahead of the very competitive Indian Restaurant stakes.

The Service was excellent,greeted warmly and made welcome by the staff. The food was excellent hot and exactly as ordered.we couldn't fault any aspect of this visit and had a nice surprise when the bill came it didn't cost an arm and a leg.Would definitely recommend a Visit to this Restaurant

Always excellent quality food, always excellent value and always excellent service.It must be hard to stand out in the local curry scene but the Rose manage to rise to the top time after time.Very difficult to fault it.

Generally poor I'm afraid, paint peeling off walls, bar area looking very tired.Food bland, some of it incorrect.Used to be good but living off past glory, will not be back.

We went a group of about 14 on banquet night. Food was ok, service very slow and starter portions were meagre. Not very impressed.Masala Zone much better

Very friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere, good food.I even get deliveries from here too, I don't have any dislikes maybe the decor could do with a makeover ute then the prices would go up!

This place offers well cooked food. The only problem we have found is the speed of service seems somehow linked to the amount of (expensive) drinks that they encourage you to have while waiting for your food. We always have drinks from the bar and pay as we go along; and explain that we don't want lots of drink.The food is well spiced and not over coloured or sweetened. We eat here often and like the consistency.

We went there on a Friday, it was fairly busy. We were seen to very swiftly and taken to our table. The waiter was very polite, took our drink orders and bought us pappadoms while we looked through the menu. Our order was taken by a very nice man who was clearly not from this area, he has really good banter and made us feel very comfortable, most of the customers seemed to like and get on with him too. The food came out on time and was very tasty. Only one thing, there was an older man there who I think was the owner, he looked miserable and mumbled a few words to us which we did not understand at all. Overall the food and experience was good and will definitely go there again.

we were shooved im the quiet but the staff cudnt speak english prices are rubbish. dont come out in balti dishes more like a lasange dish in a pub. food wasnt as stated. never again poor staff and very rude

Good unpretentious town centre curry house, usual dishes on the menu at reasonable prices. Décor a little tired, but the food is good with a regular clientele who support what is considered the best curry house in Boston. The staff are helpful, friendly with a good sense of humour. If you want a good night out in Boston with a quality curry don't bother with opposition, at these prices you can't go wrong. If you need advice or some thing not on the menu ask and they will help out.

Went out with all the family and my eight year old son who was trying indian for the first time.Not only did they have spare reading specs for my husband as he forgot his, they where very chatty and helpful. They suggested a meal for my son which we had never tried ourselves and it was fantastic and he wants to come back. ( mango and coconut tikka chicken).On a more serious note, they never rushed us and the service and food could not be faulted, we will be returning when we return to the area .

We ate here this evening. The food was faultless, great selection, tasty and good value for money. The experience however was made less pleasant by the impolite waiting staff. They weren't very attentive and we found them very rude, it wasn't particularly busy so I'm not sure what the problem was.

I have been eating here for the past few years. We are spoilt for choice with the amount of different places in Boston we can eat at. But The Rose of Bengal I would recommend to anybody who loves curry or has never tried it the different types of dishes will suit everybody and the friendly staff well worth a visit.

Stopped off here again for a Sunday lunch. Service was polite and courteous even though we had arrived before their opening time. Starters for both of us were a mixed platter of onion bhaji, shami kebab and lamb and chicken tikka. The bhaji was the best I have had but the shami kebab was more like a tasteless burger. The dishes generally lacked spice. The chicken hawalli and the chicken Achari were great and the rice was as good as it gets. However, today the batura yoghurt bread (my favourite) arrived rather oily - not necessary and unwelcome. The biggest disappointment is in the choice of drinks. No one in their right minds would want to drink wine with spicy Indian/Bangladeshi food so I checked the beer list. Only one 'draught' listed which turned out to be very fizzy keg - it might as well have come out of a bottle! It would not take a great deal of effort to keep a few widget cans on the bar shelf!

Eat at the rose of Bengal very often quite simply because its the best Indian in boston. Never had anything less than excellent food and great service!!!!!!

The Rose of Bengal is the only 'Indian' restaurant that I would use in Boston. It stands head and shoulders above others. Mixed starters were of good quality, if lacking a little 'heat'. Main course chicken pathia was a little disappointing. It was nowhere near as hot as one would have expected. The chicken was cut into rather large lumps and had clearly been cooked separately from the sauce (a common habit in 'Indian' restaurants). This resulted in tasteless chicken in a flavoursome sauce. The batura yoghurt bread was absolutely gorgeous and highly recommended - beats the pants off naans anytime. Service was pleasant and efficient. A message to the chef: 'How about cutting the meat up a little smaller and marinating it before cooking?'

Very good food and friendly service at a reasonable price. Our favourite in town we try others but always end up coming back here.

Probably the nicest indian in Boston. Have been a few times here, only thing is portions could be slightly bigger.

Superb food, fantastic staff, faultless. Have tried the competitors over the years with friends (sometimes you have to go with someone elses choice, however bad!!) ... and everytime the Rose Of Bengal provides consistently good food and service. The Best in Boston, if not Lincolnshire.

We have now visited this restaurant in Boston, Lincolnshire, regularly for over 10 years. We are always received with courtesy and respect and we always feel welcome whether dining together as husband and wife or with our family! Hassan has very high standards and ensures the service levels are constant. Our meals are always well cooked and presented at exactly the right moment without having the need to chase - even on their busy days.The Banquets on Wednesday/Thursday/Friday evenings are really good value at £9.95 for 3 courses. Nothing is too much trouble for Hassan and his team.This restaurant is so good that whilst PRINCE HARRY was undergoing flight training at nearby RAF CRANWELL he made a special visit with his pals and security. He did not announce his visit, but the staff coped and served a meal FIT FOR ROYALTY!Ask to see their copies of the newspaper reports!

Amazing quality food , fantastic taste , great staff , really good size portions , chicken really cooked nice, overall great Indian restaurant best in town.

We agreed as a family to go back to the Rose of Bengal Indian Restaurant, in West Street Boston, we are not aficionado's of Indian food but, this was our third or fourth visit in as many months, the reason we love the place so much is the very poilte and intelligent, super helpful staff and especially the manager, I unfortunately dont know his name, but he is so helpful. I find this place the best because you dont have to understand indian food, or the spices involved, as if you dont like your meal spicy you can ask them not to make it spicy, but tasty and they are only too willing to oblige. The staff are friendly, super helpful, full of ideas and tips, they are all so helpful. To me Indian foods have to be understood, and appreciated, so you have to know what to ask for, when you go to The Rose of Bengal, you dont have to be scared of asking, just ask what goes with what if you are confused, like us, or if you would like your meal spicy, but are scared it will blow your head off, ask, and they will suggest what will possibly suit you better, if you would like to explore and try different things, ask and explain, dont be afraid to ask, as there are other restaurants that people enjoy going to where you know what to ask for and know what you are getting, you know what you like, and are experienced, we are not and find it all a bit overwhelmingWe like to ask, we like to explain about what we would like, the Rose let you do that without feeling embarrased, if you would like your meal modified and more spicy or less spicy or what goes with what, and you dont know, ask and they are only to happy to help. We love going to explore, even though my parents are a bit more reserved, but een they had a great time and fabulous food and a great time, "exploring" and trying each others meals !!Please go, try and ask, you will enjoy, promise !!

What service, I feel party of the Rose family!! Great food, staff and atmosphere!Come to the Rise if Bengal, you'll have a great time, especially wed/thurs Banquet nights.

Very good food, very consistent and good atmosphere. Menu is extensive and they always cook requests if possible (I like Chana paneer) By far the best Indian in Boston by miles!

Great food, great service.Food was very tasty and came out in reasonable time.Not overly priced, didn't mind paying the bill at the end of the night, will be visiting again!

For a great curry in Boston always go here. Faultless food in lovely restaurant. Hassan is a great chap. Could not recommend enough!!!

had a nice family meal and the value was amazing it was banquet night and the food just kept coming and coming and was hot tasty and mmmmmmm.well worth visiting and friendly staff too

all the food is cooked to perfection, all meats tasty and very tender, lovely presntation with all the staff freindly and polite, very homlely and comfortable

Great consistantly good food and service, highly recomended, tried the others, always return to the rose
