The Royal Bengal in Suffolk Coastal - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Ordered as delivery, very helpful on the phone: excellent Curries, very tasty, we thoroughly enjoyed. We loved the fish curry.

This restaurant just gets better and better, the food is outstanding as are the staff as well. There are choices of Bangladesh and Goan food plus all the old favourites. Recommend this restaurant 100% Terry and Jackie

Friendly and swift service, good food and sensible (but not large) portion sizes.

The food was delicious and the staff were friendly.

Walked in hoping for a table. We were met by a very friendly waiter (Abdul). We decided to be adventurous and try something new, after discussing our usual curry habits we left it in the hands of Abdul to surprise us. Not sure what either of the dishes were.. one had dried beans & the other had green beans! Absolutely delicious food & I would definitely eat them both again! Lovely friendly restaurant. Look forward to going back again.

Great service and great food although I did find my dishes a little too salty for my taste. Very well cooked and served up.

Great selection of food for vegetarians, I like their paneer with spinach. Staff welcoming and helpful. Had a takeaway, which arrived promptly.

We booked late and were fitted in even though we only ate at 7pm! The menu is intriguing, mix and match of sauces with various meta etc. the food was a little slow but it was all home cooked, so fresh idcfiirc

Delicious food, great service - we all thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and evening.

I ordered a takeaway for 16 people on Saturday evening. We'd had an extremely busy day running the Teas at our village fete and wanted a relaxing evening with food and drink. I'd emailed the restaurant a few days before for advice on menu choices and always received a prompt reply. The food was almost ready when I arrived for collection and the staff were extremely polite and helped me carry the food to my car. It was still hot when I got home and my guests thoroughly enjoyed it; one even said it was the best she'd tasted in years! I can thoroughly recommend The Royal Bengal and thank the hardworking team.

Tuesday night and I was by myself as working away from home. I tried 2 of my favourite dishes, prawn puri followed by chicken jalfrezi. I enjoyed both of them.

Garlic naan, bombay korma, Chikantikka, shee kabab, etc.was good

Great food and great service. I've been several times and the food is always amazing.

The food was excellent - well balanced flavors and heat. The server was very helpful and gave good recommendations.

Food is amazing!!!! Lots of choices and all been 10/10 every time we go

Really tasty food, good service, very impressed. The food is a variation on a theme for curry, and all the better for it, highly recommend, book early it gets very popular.

Best Rogon Josh I've ever had! The flavours are amazing and every mouthful is a treat. It's spoilt things for me a bit because I won't eat it from anywhere else now!

Arrived as a big group of 16, but the service was superb and the food fantastic... one of the best curries I've had in a long time. Well recommended, they really take pride in their restaurant

What a change!! I decided to give these guys another go. It was very busy yet these guys were extremely helpful and friendly. Food was absolutely spot on! 5☆ from me with this turnaround!

The most delicious and authentic Bengali and Goan food, friendly and knowledgeable staff providing a great service. We usually go for the recommendations and are never disappointed.

Dinner was fine, however, I bit into a small bulldog clip that was in my sag aloo. The restaurant did apologise but took advantage of the fact that I didn't make a massive fuss about it. They took away my sag aloo and nan bread (I had put the bulldog clip on the plate with my nan). All they did when it came to the bill was remove the cost of the sag aloo. In my mind they should've removed the cost of either one or two of the four meals.

Great night out for us. Good food Good service Thank you

Lovely night out with a menu that has a range of dishes that are not the standard fare.

Oh my God it has to be one of the nicest Indian meals I have ever experienced. We started with the poppadoms and they were so fresh n crispy accompanied by the four dips and of course the obligatory bottle of red wine. I loved that they gave us a nice break until our main course. I have the Spicy Tikka mix including chicken prawns lamb and beef kebab. It was absolutely delicious. I had the fluffy pilau rice and bombay aloo. I can't wait to return. Pity they don't have a restaurant in Ireland.

Honestly, and I’m fussy, one of the best curries I’ve ever had. If you think that’s a cliché it’s your loss. Better than any Lindon curry by a long way. Really friendly staff too. Well done guys.

I relocated to Woodbridge from America and I Love the food here. Have never had a bad experience and it's the best Indian food I have had in years. It's cooked well, kept at a good temperature and the staff are beyong helpful and friendly. My 4 year old loves to come and pick up our orders from here because they always give him attention, compliment his outfit/hair/shoes and always offer him a small treat. Highly recommend a try if you havent. the tikka is on point, the naan is perfect and the prices are reasonable for the the sizes of the portions. I will keep coming here whenever I can!

What a great, local curry house. Amazing, attentive service and food is top notch. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks for looking after me and my family so well.

A wide range of Bengal and Goan dishes as well as the usual curry dishes, but the food is brilliant - best curry we've had for years. Perfectly cooked chicken breast pieces (none of the dubious off-white/grey 'chicken' some curry-houses dish up). We will definately be back and would recommend.

The food was delicious, the restaurant was quiet but the service was very good! Thank you x

Went at a busy time. Food was ok although not amazing. Two poppadoms cost over a fiver as they add £3,25 just for the chutney dips. Mango lassi tasted ok but was served in a tiny beaker with a huge straw (bit weird and very mean for nearly £4). Asked for an onion salad and got a small green salad with peas and no onion. All a bit underwhelming.

Very nice and friendly staff and excellent food every time

Delicious meal in lovely welcoming restaurant. Service was excellent and the food was well presented and extremely tasty. Highly recommended and enjoyed!!

My wife and I visited here on a Thursday evening & were pleased to find it bustling with atmosphere & still providing a great spot for a date night. After delaying our mains at our request following our poppadoms we had a chicken Dansak and Makhani. The Dansak is a particular favourite of mine and this may have been the best version of it I have eaten - the sauce was delicious and the chicken on both dishes was cooked perfectly. The Makhani was new to both of us and we agreed that it could become a new favourite. A great balance between a hot and flavorful curry. We accompanied these with vegetable rice, garlic naan & a bhindi masala - all again were beautifully made. One of the best curries we’ve eaten

main dishes could have been better - the lamb cubes were hard in one dish and the chicken tandooris had more onions than was required However the samosas and chat were vg

Lovely curries and friendly service

Delicious tandoori Halloumi. Curry & naan very good

Wow what a fantastic meal! The staff are super friendly, and very attentive! We had a really good conversation about our tastes and preferences and were recommended dishes we wouldn’t usually try & the dishes were amazing! Really felt they cater to you as individuals and cook accordingly! Definitely recommend, we booked ahead! It was busy with both restaurant orders and customers collecting!

First class Indian restaurant in Woodbridge. So much more than a traditional Indian with really varied and interesting items on the menu. Not cheap but great quality

Excellent food. Very nice and helpful staff. Good choice on menu, and does Goan food as well as Bengali which is unusual. Bangladeshi beer which was nice. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely lovely place, they let us in slightly early to eat as we had to leave early. , food and service was lovely as well as the conversation, lol. Very pleased all round.

We order takeaway from this place. Absolutely the best place to get Indian in Woodbridge. Each dish is delicious and there are a variety of different specialities, of which we struggle to choose from each time as they all look really tasty and are always happy with what we previously ordered! I haven't dined in the restaurant, however whenever speaking to the staff on the phone and when delivering, they're extremely pleasant and polite. Photo is of: Chicken tikka Hydrabadi korma Tandoori chicken Sreemangol Tarka dhal Garlic cheese naan Chicken tikka naan Saag paneer Highly recommended!

Efficiently served despite a huge party that arrived just before us. Charming waiter.

Went to the Royal Bengal on an impromptu work meal. The decor and setting is nothing to write home about but the food was excellent, good value and the staff very attentive. My only criticism was that the choice of alcohol wasn’t as wide ranging as other restaurants we go to. We will however definitely be going back though - four stars.

Having enjoyed my last visit to this restaurant, I vowed that I would return. So, fast-forward 20-odd years , here I am again for the return visit! To be fair, I moved away from East Anglia not long after my first visit, so I have an excuse for not returning sooner. The food is just as good as I remember it all those years ago, although the prices have increased markedly over the years. I feel that, perhaps, The Royal Bengal no longer represents the value it once did, especially when taking into account the competition in the surrounding areas of Woodbridge. The addition of a 12% service charge and the high price of drinks do not help the cause either. Having said that, good food is worth paying for and that is what is provided at this restaurant. I will happily return here the next time that I am in the area ... l hope that it will not be so long this time until my next visit!

Great restaurant with informative owners ,good food and nice decor.

Everything was amazing, will definitely go back

Beautiful meal, nicely presented with good size portions. Tasted fresh. Lovely friendly staff too. Will go back again. Thank you

Birthday celebration with family, but we will definitely be back on our own soon.

Very tasty, lots of meals I didn’t recognise (very authentic) the waiter explained the different food for regions in India and recommended what spice would suit us was very impressed with the service. They still have the old favourites I usually go for as well madras, chicken masala etc.. but tried something new.

It is a real treat to find an Indian restaurant with real Indian food from other parts of India (Goa). The food was simply stunning and the service was very attentive. Being a Friday, the restaurant was busy and therefore quite noisy, but otherwise a very enjoyable experience. This was our second visit and will no doubt visit again when we're in the area.

Excellent service and delicious food

Excellent service from attentive staff who helped us choose something different from what we usually eat. The food was exceptional and we will definitely go back!

Our food was amazing and service very attentive. Would definitely dine here again .

We are still dreaming about the food we had at this fantastic place a couple of weeks ago! We live in a large Northern city where excellent and authentic curries are very easy to find however the food we had at the Royal Bengal was up there with the best we have had. The menu is very interesting with the usuals as well as some delicious sounding Goan dishes. As well as excellent food, our waiter Abdul was so friendly and helpful. He really helped make our evening there a great one. This will be on our list for any future trips to this lovely part of the world.

Brilliant tasty fresh Indian food but good service when we visited 6: pm last Friday night. Very friendly host .

Staff were very welcoming and pleasant throughout our meal. The food was amazing, very tasty indeed. I would highly recommend!

The madras sauce was the best , was really spicy and delicious

Haven't visited for a few years and wondering why now. Best Indian food we've had in a very, very long time. Delicious meals, lovely service and very fairly priced.

Great food and lovely experience as part of a small Covid wedding party, great atmosphere. Really recommend this place....

Excellent food, very tasty. Seated without a booking, no hassle. Along with children, all looked after. Friendly staff. Would visit again. -- 05/04/23 -- We did visit again as we were in the area! Once again a top-notch meal. A little noisy as it is a little cramped and there was a table of 12 or so in. Our group included those who weren't familiar with curries but everyone enjoyed their meals! Once again: A great experience. Thanks

Bangladeshi restaurant a little different to the normal Indian perhaps not to everybody's taste

We enjoyed a first class meal prior to watching a splendid live transmission of Turandot in the nearby Riverside Theatre, easily timed to coincide with the performance. Will definitely do this again.

Cannot speak more highly of this wonderful PROPER Indian restaurant. Always top quality food and service. Every dish is unique, and none of this one base sauce for all dishes here. I just wish it was my local back home in W2. I look at the menu but always end up just telling the waiter what I fancy and I get a great meal, thank you. Keep up the good work we will be back whenever we visit mh parents / sister :0))

Delicious dinner. Had a Goan lamb dish and a side of aubergine goan style. Lamb birianni and goan sides were super tasty too. A couple of steps above the standard Indian restaurant. I just wish we lived locally so we could eat here regularly

Food 10/10. Bill a little more than I expected but good so good I forgive them

Came here for Xmas meal with my work mates. Great evening with lively food at a very reasonable price

Excellent restaurant with friendly staff, the Goanese and Bangladeshi specialty dishes are a standout feature that is not too be missed.

New Year Day baby so we always finish with a meal at the Bengal. Quiet this year but food still top notch and excellent service. Thank you.

We had booked an early reservation at 5pm. We were guided through the dishes from their menu , when our food arrived it looked amazing and tasted amazing, full of bold flavours and fresh spices, probably the best curry we have had in a long time. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Fantastic food, decor and friendly staff. Highly recommend without hesitation. If you haven’t visited lately, you should.

Really good service, really tasty food. Did us proud as a non booked walk in tonight

A lovely meal but it's a curry canteen. Everything is OK but the throughput is so busy that it's a miracle that the food is still good.

Wow, I’ve lived in Suffolk for three years and the food we have just eaten is amazing. Although the restaurant is 12 miles from where I live this is now our number 1 Indian restaurant. Great food and friendly staff.

Very good food and excellent service. Nice atmosphere. The only negative is that the premises are a little cramped, and the decor is a little tired. It could do with a refresh - but the magnificent tigers on the walls make up for it, they are very vibrant and bright. I love them.

Very disappointed! Fish curry had 2 tiny pieces of fish. Tandoori Chicken was full of tiny bones and gristle.

The food was excellent; the staff were friendly & explained how hot the different curries were. Highly recommended.

Great food and service !! Would highly recommend !

Another great take away, service great, food is wonderful thanks again. Great flavour great food. Once again you excel

Excellent food, knowledgeable staff and great value for money. Highly recommended

This restaurant always serves up good, fresh food. You can actually taste the different spice elements in the dishes. The waiters will advise you on your meal choice if you are unsure and you won't be disappointed. This is the best Indian restaurant I have...

We have dined in and also had a delivery. Food was absolutely delicious, really tasty and well cooked. Fantastic customer service - One of our dishes was missing an item and they went to the trouble of sending a driver to deliver it. Professional, friendly and polite. This will be continue to be our first choice for curries.

A very nice meal, quick service, good value. Good selection of dishes on menu. Good authentic Indian food. Not very busy but recommended

… They charge THREE QUID for the pickle tray to go with poppadoms!!!!! And don’t even fill the trays!!! 😄😄🙈🙈

Great service. Food was brilliant. At last an indian restaurant that has made me want to go back and try something different. Great service.

Great food with some very different dishes to choose from which we did ! Nice meal with drinks for less than £55 for two ! Friendly staff

I can’t speak more highly of the food and service here. Five of us visited on Friday evening. The food was so tasty. Bangladesh and Goan sauces were just a bit different from regular Indian restaurant food. I wish we lived nearer to go more...

Food was very good, restaurant itself a little cramped. Bit disappointed in the quality of drinks, water was warm and the lemonade was completely flat. But overall a good experience.

After several visits to Woodbridge from the US, we agree that the Royal Bengal is our favorite dining experience. Wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable service (and great conversation), with excellent guidance in selecting dishes. The food is exceptional; every dish is distinctive and perfectly spiced. We particularly...

Fabulous food and service (especially from the very helpful Ash). The Royal Bengal has all your usual curry house favourites but also has a section of specialities, the one I tried was excellent. Would thoroughly recommend a visit

Really friendly service, with stunning food. I had a potato and chickpea puri for a starter and a paneer tikka dhansak as my main. The puri was really nice, but the dhansak..... oh my God! It was the tastiest curry I have had in a...

We had a very nice meal here. Fresh ingredients, delicious, good price. Friendly attentive staff. Will be happy to come back.

Had a meal here tonight with my family having not been for over 15 years. What a fantastic meal and excellent service we had. Thanks for looking after us so well, we will be back...soon!

We would like to thank the staff for the warm welcome , amazing food and great service. We had a table booked at a Inn in Butley that let us down on the evening and found this Gem quickly they gave us a great table...

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to eat and he suggested ‘The Royal Bengal’. We arrived and we instantly felt very welcome. The restaurant is small and quaint but the atmosphere was cosy and inviting. When trying to choose our meals our waiter...

Absolutely amazing Indian cuisine! tried from virtually all the Indian takeaway local to me and traveled far and wide moving from Essex to Suffolk, i can honestly say it’s one of the best tasting i have ever experienced. P.S the wife hates Indian for takeout but she sure didn’t complain either so that’s saying something. :)

I ate in the restaurant last year and had a splendid meal from the interesting menu, since then I've had 3 or 4 meals either in or take away, and they have got steadily worse. The latest take away however was so bad, it ranks...

Always an exceptional curry, different from the usual fare and great service

I ordered food from here and I was very disappointed, I've had food in the past and it was ok . The lamb dish I ordered resembled mutton, the meat was very tough I had to leave it in my plate, I complained and didn't...

A friend and I happened to be in Woodbridge and decided to give the Royal Bengal a go. I am really picky when it comes to Indian restaurants and wasn't expecting much. However, I was really impressed with the quality of food. The food was...
