The Royal Bengal in Babergh - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Every time I order from this place they cancel my order with no reason and I have to wait for my refund, try a different Indian restaurant they’re more reliable and better

Excellent Indian food, we were given delicious Onion Bhaji on the house, great customer service the owner was a very nice man, and shots to finish of the meal. The Sag Aloo was particularly delicious

Absolutely banging Indian. Eloquent on all levels.

I am overwhelmed by the excellent customer service displayed and can not find sufficient words to praise the staff and restaurant enough. I ordered a takeout meal, I thought I had phoned the Woodbridge restaurant however on arrival, discovered I had contacted the Hadleigh restaurant by mistake. When I called the Ipswich number to inform them of my error and offered to pay, they said the fact that I had called was enough and no payment was required. What more can I say. I highly recommend the staff and restaurant 👍

Amazing food, and great friendly staff. Food served on time and piping hot. Best Indian cuisine arond

I ordered at 7pm on a Sunday evening, told a 45 minute delivery time (I’m 3 miles down the road, 7 minute drive from the restaurant). It turned up at 8:45pm, no sorry for the delay or delivery cost reimbursed. Food was OK, was in between cold and warm. Not ordering again! 1/10!

We had a takeaway almost three years ago which I reviewed then and said I would not order again. Last night we decided to try again as we understand the place has had a change of management. Sadly the food was again terrible. Not authentic in any way. Every dish seemed to have added sugar, tandoori dishes were painted in red food dye and not cooked in a tandoor as described. Paneer dishes with no paneer in them. Butter chicken with little bits of shredded chicken and again sweet with sugar. Look up recipes for these dishes and none of them are authentic. Sad that when the management changed they didn’t get a new chef who can actually cook with the proper ingredients. We will never purchase again.

Food is brilliant and so is the service. Highly recommend

Love this restaurant, so friendly & welcoming... prices are good & we are always treated so well .

Food was and hour and a half late, driver then proceeded to drop my meal at the front door before giving it to me disgrace

Absolutely delicious - the onion bahjis and parka dhal were exceptional. Will definitely be using again

We both had such a lovely meal at the Royal Bhengal. I really recommend the chicken Rogan Josh with vegetable rice. We were well looked after by the owner and his staff and considering that everywhere is so expensive since the pandemic, the prices were very reasonable. Thank you for having us will come again! :-)

Piss poor delivery service, food sat at the restaurant from 8pm to be delivered cold at just before 10pm . Chef don’t blame you’re staff you lied and said you only just cooked my food at 9.30pm , it was dry and stone cold

The food was tasty, but cold because it was 2 and a half hours late. We'll probably give the restaurant another chance, but I'll be picking it up myself next time.

Nearly 2 hours late. For the last hour there was no updates from restaurant. I had to call 3 times for updates.

Before I ordered it estimated 30-40 minutes. After I ordered it estimated 1-1hr15. It’s now been 2hrs and still no food. Rang to chase and it’s going to be another 20 minutes at least. Said I didn’t want to pay anymore. No offer of refund or money back, just ‘sorry it’s busy’. Meant kids missed their dinner. Is putting me off order again.

We placed two orders. First one for my son so he could eat early as he was going out. Second order much later but the restaurant put them both together and delivered them nearly two hours after the first order was placed. Came in separate bags and my son’s food was Luke warm. Have asked for a refund of first order.

When I was in my teens, I went to this restaurant a lot, once a week with friends would be fair to say. It would be my go to, but then as the years went on the food went down hill and others in the area were better. Recently, the restaurant changed ownership and rumours were going about saying it was really good again, so after years of avoidance, I decided to go back and try it, and it was fantastic. The dishes were beautifully cooked and tasty, the bahji's were big and round and delicious. The Saag Paneer, definitely the best I've ever had. And the service, I don't know if he is the owner or the manager, but he knows how to host and make you feel welcome. Making sure you have everything you need. For me, it is great that this has returned back to form. I have been several times before writing this review, and I can confirm that it has been consistent with what I have writen.

food was warm but not hot. forgetting items on the order. Tried speaking to them on the phone and it was pointless. Telling me I live too far away and that I'm wrong with the times for delivery. I'll make it convenient for them and not order from there again. I've been a customer for 4 years.

Great quality food piping hot and delivered on time. 5*

First time had from you guys. It was luke warm on delivery 35 minutes late. Tasted good but shame chicken Ceylon or chicken pasanda on menu

was a little late, but understandable because of a busy night. Delivery driver was a GEM, good communication from restaurant about order times. Complimentary drinks given for lateness! will defo order again

busy in the kitchen which is hit and miss really, it's an on the day unforseen circumstance, no problem for me.

Excellent food, curiously delivered

Lovely food as usual, piping hot and plenty of it with great flavours.

Food was very tasty and hot. We were notified it would be a little later than expected.

Couldn’t select more than 60 minutes but took over 2 hours to arrive and when it did was just stone cold

First class service. Food was fresh , hot and extremely tasty. We never feel rushed , the staff are always friendly and the food is always great as it’s again this eve.

I’ve lived in the area for 15 years, this was my first visit . The food was fantastic. Tender chicken , good levels of spice and great friendly service . I will definitely be back !

Great meal and great individual service. Helped us when ordering what when best together. Food was lovely and not the normal stuff - but you could also order the standard stuff. It's definitely worth a visit.

Amazing service and great food with very friendly staff. If you have not been to the Royal Bengal recently you should make this your next stop for Indian Cuisine. Amazing :)

Delivery was 1hr 15min late and when it finally arrived food was cold.

An hour late to what was quoted. Missing chutney and also food was cold. Promised bottle of wine as compensation but wasn’t delivered

Food was barely warm, chips were rubbery , not a nice experience at all.

Had a lovely family meal, for my sons 20th, 11 of us and just absolutely perfect from start to finish, beautiful food, service outstanding, just loved it

Had a family meal here, and it was AWESOME. Traveled from New Zealand to see family and the man serving us took such good care of us, food was delicious. Would reccomend

Exceptional cuisine, staff, pricing, and decor. Didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return! Portions were perfect, background music lovely and manger Shah so helpful I especially suggest the vegetarian options …very authentic and beautiful.

Ordered a takeaway at 18:05, said it would be delivered at 19:10. It's now 20:15 and no order. I've tried calling the restaurant but there's no answer and no response at all.

The food was cold as it was late and the naan bread was missing. Couldn’t get hold of any one all evening on the phone

Excellent service and food, couldn't fault the meal and the manager was lovely, definitely recommend and will certainly go again.

The food and service is amazing. There is always a lovely warm welcome from shar when you arrive and makes you feel so welcome and nothing is a problem if you would like a certain dish less spicy. All I can say is please try it for yourselves you will not be disappointed.

Everything was perfect. Quick service, ood was spot on, Shah the manager was fab as always, will definitely be going more often

The food and service is amazing from here, whether you are eating in or taking away. But the reason I’m leaving this review is today I was dealing with my 2 year old having the worst public meltdown she has ever had waking through Hadleigh high street, I decided to just stop and sit on the pavement to try and calm her down enough to carry in walking. After a few minutes the owner of the restaurant came out (we had stopped opposite on the other side of the road) with 2 lollipops for my daughter which instantly stopped her meltdown like nothing had happened. I just thought it was so nice and thoughtful as he didn’t have to do this (maybe he just wanted the shrieking to stop lol) but it helped me out massively. I don’t know the owners name but whenever we have gone in to eat he has always been very attentive but he really went out if his way to help today when again there was no reason for him to. Would recommend this place to anyone before this but even more so now!

Superb food. Waitress very good at her job and polite and friendly. Manager such a lovely man. Hope they do well in the future. They deserve it👍

Tonight we visited with our children . We thoroughly recommend this restaurant as the food is lovely, reasonably priced and the staff very accomodating. The man serving was really friendly.

Ordered takeaway online. Great menu, Amazing food, Excellent service. Highly recommended.

We have heard great things about the Royal Bengal and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We tried some completely new dishes last night off the chefs specials and they were the most fragrant, delicious dishes. The quality of the chicken and prawns were outstanding and all dishes topped with fresh herbs which was a great touch. We couldn’t have been better looked after and our drinks were topped up throughout. We even got to take a curry home to taste recommended by the manager. The menu was also so refreshing, not pages of dishes like a usual Indian, all food beautifully presented on one double sided page. We have found our favourite Indian only 10 mins from us and can’t wait to go back. Thanks, Ollie and Rachel

Great food, great atmosphere! Love coming here. Always a good experience, great customer service! Couples and family! Can not be anymore accommodating. Shah is just the best restaurant manager! Thank you!

We have had 2 takeaways now in August (one on impulse as the chip shop was closed). The first was so good that we then shared one a week later with friends. Cooked in oil rather than ghee as a friend can’t eat dairy. Both were excellent. I was surprised to see a negative review from another customer who had a delivery at the weekend. Ours were both mid week and we collected. I do hope this place doesn’t disappoint as at their best they are stunning.

I recently wrote a review when it first got taken over as the food was beautiful. However, we got a £53 delivery last night 13th August 2023 and it was extremely poor. The quantity and quality of the chips were terrible. There wasn't enough chips in 1 bag to even feed 1 person and you couldn't stab a fork in them as they were so over cooked and crunchy. I ordered x2 chicken tikka masalas, there was 4 pieces of chicken in each dish. ( normally I can't eat all the chicken) .My children were sharing a dish so they recieved x2 pieces each. Has the rice got smaller? We ordered 2 lots and it wasn't enough to feed us. All in all with the chips (inedible) chicken and rice we were starving after spending £53. I have messaged on Facebook and waited 24hours for a reply but nothing.

Lovely food. Was called to inform delivery would be at 6 and it arrived on time. Thank you

Only given 1 star an it won't let me give a zero star rating. Ordered a takeaway for delivery on Saturday night. Never arrived!!! No reply when I tried to phone them and ask when and if it would be delivered. Why take an order if you can't deliver!!!

Food was ok - albeit cold due to the nearly two hours from order to delivery. Delivery time given was 20:10 and it arrived well past 9pm. No updates - had to call 6 times before anyone answered to be told it was on its way. Very disappointed.

delivery was an hour late after the time slot provided therefore the food wasn’t even hot and I ordered 6 poppadoms and got 1 and half

40 mins late, 2 rice instead of saag aloo

After ordering at 6:15pm they missed food in our order, I rung politely and the restaurant promised to replace it, I was awaiting the replacement for over an hour. Rung the restaurant after 1 hour and 5 minutes, I rung back but found my call was declined several times so has to call on another mobile to be told the driver was then leaving, half hour later I received a call from the driver saying they were now leaving the restaurant. I didn’t actually receive my food until 8:45.

Not been to the Royal Bengal in Hadleigh for sometime but Heard some great reports from friends in Hadleigh saying it was under new management and worth a look. so Tonight as I was in Hadleigh with some mates we went to the Bengal for a meal. All I can say is Wow the food was Amazing service was really good I will definitely be returning in the near future 10/10 👍

Lovely food and great service. Special thanks to Shah who really looked after us. Best curry house in Hadleigh! Thoroughly recommend.

The food was very nice and the front of house staff were friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back again to eat in and order more food to takeaway in the future.

It’s been my local for years. Since new owners thought we’d dine in. Wow. Such a rude attitude by main waiter. Clearly he was out of his depths, it was hardly busy and for the 5 mins we sat down, we could clearly see the mayhem. We left after quite frankly being spoken to by this man. Never again. Disgraceful

The owner of the Royal Bengal is very accommodating and polite. Food is amazing and taste’s amazing! Have been many times and will continue to go again and again and again! Thank you for always making our meal very friendly and welcoming!!

Many thanks to Shah for a really good experience and a great meal. Very friendly and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Amazing food lovely staff. Wonderful evening

Indian is my favourite dish. This is up there with places I have been all over the world. Thankyiu Shah for the best service x

Amazing food never disappoints. Shah is an amazing host. What a wonderful evening. Highly recommended

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing atmosphere. Had such an amazing time with family here. 10/10 highly recommend

Amazing service, tasy food. Top Indian restaurant

What a lovely place! I came with my family and the owner, Shah was very accommodating, even offering us drinks on the house. All of the workers were friendly and happy to help. The service was very fast and efficient, we hardly waited any time...

Having read the excellent reviews for this restaurant was expecting great things. Sadly, it did not live up to expectations. First impressions quite nice but the experience went downhill quickly. I went with a friend and we sat at a table which was laid for...

Great food and personal attention, well looked after. Set in a lovely old-fashioned high street and not a converted pub. Would recommend.

Had a great meal in The Royal Bengal in Hadleigh Suffolk. The place is clean and light and the food and staff are very good. Highly recommended and please to see they do deliveries to the local area.

My wife and I ate at this very nice restaurant, early last Sunday evening 11th June . It was a very pleasant experience . The host Shah could not have been more hospitable, genial, chatty, kind and willing and able to recommend dishes had we needed guidance. Delicious food in generous portions, with reasonable prices. We would definitely recommend a visit and will do so ourselves again, next time we are in the area . Thku for a very nice evening . Edward C

Another fabulous meal tonight at the best Indian restaurant in the area - nothing is too much trouble … food is delicious & served piping hot … service is so friendly & attentive - 5* So good we’ve booked again for next week 😊

Brilliant tasty fresh Indian food and great service 6 pm last Fridsy. Very friendly host

Fantastic meal with the family the food was delicious and service is always terrific. Walked in as a table of five this evening and were seated straight away can’t recommend enough! Lovely red wine too ;)

Delicious freshly cooked food, bright attractive decor, very friendly staff and excellent service. The tastiest curry we have had in a long time - recommended!

Truly awful. We collected the order but no discount given. Starters totally cold and wrong mains sent (and one missed out entirely). Replacement mains sent to wrong address and eventually delivered by a neighbour but we had abandoned the meal by then. I cannot remember a worse curry.

I had family for the weekend and suggested that we had a curry from the Royal Bengal as I had been to them before and was pleased, well that has changed never again, it was so embarrassing the food was awful, cold, their was hardly any meat in the curry, the wrong order delivered and as for the 'onion what ever that was bhaji' my mind boggles about what it actually was! I had to give one star otherwise I could not do this review, but basically they do not deserve a star if there was anyway I could do a minus they would get one!

The best service I’ve ever had we ordered a takeaway for a birthday. They were so kind shah gave us two deserts and candles on top of our order the birthday girl who was 8 was so happy and even the delivery driver made a...

Excellent food and service in a very difficult situation, the owner of this business is an excellent and kind man. The food was excellent and we ate every single bit. Delicious! We were on holiday and my daughter made a mistake when ordering she had to drive over 30 miles to collect, this gentleman was so kind giving us a huge discount and a nice bottle of wine. He also called to check she had made it home safely.

We have visited for the happy hour deal and for collection. Happy hour deal fantastic. Starter , main, rice and Bombay aloo all for £10. Collection includes a discount. Food really tasty and the staff and front of house are very friendly.

First time eating here. I was not disappointed at all. Sat quickly,offered poppadoms as soon as we were sat. Food came quickly I could not fault the food it was amazing. Will be back again very soon.

Fantastic Indian takeaway and restaurant in Hadleigh. Such lovely service and always friendly. Brilliant food!

As a family we were made to feel welcome despite not booking a table. Food was excellent with good sized portions - we’ll definitely be back!

New owners are diaper friendly & caring Decor was beautiful! Best curry I’ve had in a long time! 5* service & food!

This Restaurant was taken over recently and we had a fantastic meal tonight. The manager couldn't do enough and the food was great. We'll definitely be back 😀

A lovely meal on Wednesday night, great service and was very impressed. A very different experience now, give it ago you will not be disappointed

Staying in the area and looking for somewhere local for a nice meal and an accompanying drink. Must say some of the previous reviews were a little off putting, but more recent were favourable so gave it a chance. Please do not be swayed by...

The menu offered great choice. The manager (Shah) was very welcoming and attentive. The takeaway order was completed timely and tasted really nice and all plates were empty on ending our meal.

Absolutely amazing service, the staff are extremely friendly and accomdating. We were exceptionally surprised at the authentic flavours and choices of the new menu. Mr Shah was the manager very helpful with understanding diet requirements of some members of our dining party. Wr would definitely...

I booked a take away for royal benegal last night and as they deliver till 9pm thought no probs so anyway when I booked it all went through and then all of a sudden the delivery changed to Thursday so cancelled tried again did the...

Firstly it took me 3 attempts to be able to receive my order, the first being cancelled last minute (I wasn’t able to place an order for food anywhere else due to the time after they decided to cancel) the second cancelled because they couldn’t see my address? Rude man on the phone hung up on me twice. 3rd time I had to order through something else and no longer had my discount (also had to pay extra as there was a £20 minimum) chicken wings were expensive for what you get (2) with hardly any meat on the bone, the rice wasn’t good either, the only redeeming factors were the tandoori chicken which you’d hope for if you’d spent £10 on it, and the naan bread which you can’t really mess up (however it wasn’t very garlicky) overall, wouldn’t order from them again (I was offered 20% off if I went to collect it however I have noticed that is an offer for everyone and not something offered as an apology)

Very rude, treat there female staff very bad.

Smart modern decor.Comparatively small restaurant.Suit any informal occasion . Parking outside restaurant or nearby free Carpark

Due to a power cut and the need for food decided to visit The Royal Bengal - what a surprise, new management, new decor, new menu.... great food, great service and a great host..... we won't wait for another power cut before our next visit......

Excellent food, great new menu, fantastic host, we will definitely be eating here again !

We have just returned to check out the restaurant now it has new management. Shaa, the manager, and his team were outstanding ,service, quality, and price will see us back for more of the same.

Lovely restaurant with friendly and helpful staff nothings too much trouble, food and drinks were amazing would recommend

We had a lovely curry at the Royal Bengal. Great service, lovely decor. Shah was really attentive offering a complimentary drink at the end of our meal and a discount card for future visits. We’ll be back!!
