The Taste of Bengal in Croydon

Lovely little restaurant. There’s a great menu and the food is really tasty. The team are very welcoming. Good value for money. Will definitely come back. It’s always busy and I can see why!

A first class restaurant I recommend the chefs specials absolutely delicious 😋

Wonderful curry. Great service Highly recommend

absolutely lovely, succulent chunks of meat in a perfectly balanced sauce (madras) will definitely order again!

Really nice owner and food is spot on - exactly what you wants

First time ive ordered from here, the best curry i have ever tasted. I will never order from anywhere else now

best curry I've had in a while, compliments to the chef! Very tasty without being overly spicy, well cooked and succulent pieces of lamb!

I've been eating here for over 20 years it's the best curry house locally. Highly recommended.

Quality of food is so good and friendly atmosphere ✌️

Delicious meal, with lovely service. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Fantastic venue with great atmosphere and food. Always welcoming

Food was excellent, good portion sizes

Fabulous food. Great taste with lovely presentation.

Just love this place! Always a warm welcome from great staff who take a pride in their business. Roomy well decorated surroundings. It’s nice to have a sit down meal that is brought to the table. Hot tasty food that is full of flavour and made to order. We have also often ordered a take away and delivery system is good. Can really recommend the Taste of Bengal ! 5 stars!

Forgot to put my rice in which was annoying as I was looking forward to it

absolutely horrible the king prawns we're like rubber

Bombay potatoes didn't taste like bpmaby potatoes and it was cold

Perfectly delicious as usual and fabulous customer service- Thank you

Yet again a delicious meal. Thank you. Will be ordering again next week

Absolutely delicious food. Great value compared to other take aways. Would love to see an offer like something free when spending over a certain amount especially on your own app. Thank you

Lacked flavour, chicken tikka and onion bhaji very dry. First time ordering and haven't been encouraged to order again.

loved it very tasty will be using again

What a great find. Absolutely delicious food delivered on time. Definitely will be our go-to Indian in the future.

Fantastic restaurant, one of my favourites

Food was just OK, wasn't very tasty

Delicious food and excellent service, highly recommended!

A pleaseant discovery on a week night. The service is good, the food is delicious. A place you want to try for very good and fresh indian food if you live in the area Purley, South Croydon, Purley Oaks and Sanderstead but also from further away as it's easy to find a parking place around there. Update: a few days later we also ordered take-away dinner calling directly the restaurant landline as we are living close by and it was as delicious as dining in. Good portions and very well packed. Very good customer service when we called to place the order. Update: We came back for dinner after 4 months and it was as pleasant as the first time, delicious food and impeccable service. 5 stars again all the way!

Really nice food. We got sent beef samosa instead of vegetable samosa so I couldn't try them but I was full up from everything else.

Food, atmosphere and service was all amazing!! We ate too much and could eat there every day 😍 on wednesdays they have 4 course meal for £15 pp….definitely we’ll be back…

We have both dined in and had delivery. The food is always fantastic. Certainly the best Indian restaurant in the area.

Very good place and the staff are very friendly the food is so good Ali makes me so happy I will be returning thank you

I’ve only been mid week so quiet. But fine 👍🏻

I recently dined at this restaurant, it was blown away by delicious food and good service by the staff members. I highly recommend chicken tikka masala, Naan Bread and egg rice and we can get both mild and spicy food also. I will be definitely coming back to this restaurant in the future.

The atmosphere and the food is so good.

This was the first time i visited this restaurant the staffs were very kind and friendly. This is one of the best spot to spend time with your family and friends. You definitely get a wonderful experience. The foods are very delicious. They have many variety of dishes both in vegetarian and non veg.

Awesome place for nice food. Must visit place

Taste of Bengal is the best Indian restaurant around and we will go nowhere else! The food is delicious and the staff are always welcoming. Thanks guys!

Great food, great staff, great experience!

as promised when my son and I came last night for a hearty curry and other dishes - We were warmly welcomed when we went in and shown to our seats. Our order was taken and within a couple of mins a plate of poppadoms with a selection of dips were presented to us 'on the house'. Before we finished it our food was read. Piping hot they were placed beautifully on our table. The hot food was placed on a hot plate which came in handy as we'd just come in from the freezing cold outside. We order lamb curry, spinach and lentil curry, paneer curry, tangy lemon lamb curry, 2 nans and a plate of rice. Every dish was seasoned to perfection, the lamb was tender and cooked beautifully. The paneer was soft and juicy and the lentils with spinach was amazingly comforting and filling and I honestly couldn't get enough of the hot nan bread and well made rice. The portions were very generous, the food was very, very tasty, the waiter was charming and kept topping up our jug of water with lemon slices at every opportunity. This little gem of a place deserves every positive praise and if i could give it more stars I would without any hesitation. Thank you for the experience my son and I had last night. aslm alkm

I am not at all unhappy about the food. The food was great. I ordered for the first time using a just eat voucher. The voucher was for £25 and the food £27.70. It showed on the order that the £25 had been redeemed and that I had to pay £2.70. When the delivery came, the bill showed that the order had not been paid and the delivery man and the person I spoke to at the restaurant said I had to pay the full amount. I am not happy and just eat need to pay me back £25. How can this be done. Please contact me Just Eat. Why isn't it possible to phone you and sort it out?

Will definitely order from this restaurant again and recommend to others +++++

First order. Food was late by 30 minutes. Driver claimed he did not know where I was located despite being right in front of the building. Food quality is good, however. So, will give it another try.

Visited for the first time last night with friends and seated a table of 5 of us in a nicely decorated dining area which was clean, tidy and good ambience. The welcome on arrival was a very good customer experience with a friendly, personable and attentive team. The poppadoms, drinks and speed of service was perfect providing a decent opportunity to catch-up with friends and chat, without being rushed or waiting for anything - really well done. The mains were absolutely phenomenal. I had the Chicken Garlic Chilli Masala and it was one of the best curry dishes I’ve ever had - absolutely delicious and presented really well too - thank you. Finished off with an ice cream at the end as well, all perfectly done - not rushed to get out the door at the end of the night either, very reasonable prices … will definitely be back, 5 🌟, thank you for making a great night, catching up with friends 👍🏻 🧼 Clean and tidy 🙋🏻‍♂️ Friendly staff 🍽️ Awesome food 🤵🏻‍♂️ Fantastic customer service

Chicken was really hard only 4 pieces portion v small

Really enjoyed the food. Tasty as usual.

Brilliant food and service. Always very attentive and helpful, putting any leftovers in dishes for us to take home. We have our favourite dishes here and keep coming back! Great aircon in summer (even heatwave week) and now nice and warm for the winter!

Excellent. Freshly cooked, great taste. Always deliver on time or early.

Amazing food every single time. If you are eating in the service is always great too :-)

Very good food, delivered early and hot!

What a little gem in South Croydon. Food was brilliant, clean and inviting decor and a warm welcome. We have been before with the family but will now definitely come again although we dont live in the area.

Considering the price and free delivery, I don't have any regrets. But the food just wasn't good. I've had many different butter chickens and egg fried rice, but this was the first time I haven't been able to recognise what I'm eating. It was edible but I won't be getting it again... Maybe in a year.

Nice food here. I ordered the Lamb Biryiani and Lamb Tikka. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5, comparing to other takeaways where I've had biryiani, this one had some bits in the food that were not edible, I'm not sure what it was but it was black bits and it was mixed into the biryiani so a couple bites it was like pulling out bones.

Food absolutely awful...not sure where good reviews comes from... we ordered different curries but all were bland ans some tasted absolutely the same. Chicken korma was disgusting, ans butter chicken was exactly same sauce as korma. Such dissapointment as was looking forward to nice curry and thought to tey new place..never again!!!

Very attentive staff and quick service food freshly cooked

The food was excellent with a friendly and warm welcome, service was quick and it’s situated in a daily convenient spot with some good parking spots, definitely recommend it for the locals or anyone that wants some tasty curry. 👍🏽

We’ve ordered from here plenty of times, food is always spot on and tasty

The most un appealing food in uk Everything is so oily - Everything deep red - rice byriani useless and tasteless Lamb tasteless - butter kitchen worst How can they still be opened ? Can the chef go training at Mirch Masala —- sad …. Wasted money …. Who gave 5 stars for this place ?

A real good local take away. Always arrives piping hot and food is simply delicious. I highly recommend it. Best to order direct through them instead of deliveroo

Absolutely amazing food not to mention the incredible ambiance. You will not regret either booking a table or ordering in. I have had both and both were on point. Thank you very much and I will definatly see you again soon.

We have always had the best food here. We have tried different local curry houses but always come back as no one else compares. Lovely staff always deliver with a smile. The free beer is always a nice treat. Thank you

Amazing food we ordered a takeaway it came very efficiently and was absolutely delicious it was piping hot and the food was outstanding. We use this curry house on a regular basis and are never disappointed. This restaurant is absolutely fantastic.

Literally everything I ordered was tasteless!

a large group of us went last night for a birthday. the staff were very friendly and attentive and were regularly coming back to check if there was anything we needed. we had a lovely two course meal and everyone very much enjoyed their food. we got a wide range of different dishes and they were all brilliant. when we arrived they asked if we were there for a special occasion and because we said it was a birthday, they surprised us at the end of our meal with a cake and some candles at no cost to us! this was a lovely touch and showed how much they care about their service. great food which tastes lovely and fresh. great atmosphere and fantastic staff. would definitely recommend this place to anybody be it a couple or a large group!

Best vindaloo in Croydon Friendly staff

Food tasted like it was from the day before and didn't apologise for being late. Panner was non existent. Order elsewhere

Very nice friendly welcome nice evening

Lovely staff and food. You can always tell when love is added to ingredients when cooking. Thanks guys will be comming back soon for my spicy lamb biryani 👊👊

We were regular customers of this restaurant, unfortunately food has gone downhill and attitude of the Manager Mr. Ali is even worse. Hygiene in the Kitchen very poor.

Best Curry in London!!! The staff are all legends too.

Chicken was a little drier than usual. Spinach and mushroom side dishes were really good.

Very friendly Host and staff. Our family have been eating in or taking away for many many years and never been disappointed with the flavours of the dishes and the service is always cheerful and prompt. A lovely place to eat and now has air conditioning.

Friendly, great food and service

This is my favourite Indian takeaway near by! I would recommend the shashlik and dhansak.

All food delivered hot and delicious. Really high standard as usual.

This is our second time ordering from here and we’ve been very pleased each time. The chicken dhansak is a great combination of sweet with a good spicy kick to it - it’s now our favourite place to order from :)

Very tasty takeaway and friendly staff

Very friendly staff fantastic choice of food they do a nice lemon rice if you ask for it as not on the menu manager goes out of his way to help all customers cosy and nice lighting go there at least once a week due to the friendly and helpful staff and fantastic food

I have ordered from here 4 times now and after been blown away by my first order, for some reason the food has not been as good since. The Dansak unfortunately came with two much oil. The App would also not let me choose a non tikka passanda. This version was also too thick. Hopefully the food goes back to the original standard.

Terrible ! Ordered food at 7.25 came at 9.15 ! Cold and everytime I spoke to the restaurant they said it’s outside or 5 minutes away ! Didn’t even eat it

After initial order said food due for delivery 19.05, arrived 20.15. Not good really. Food was tasty but not really acceptable delivery times.

Excellent takeaway this evening. King Prawn Madras, Butter Chicken with Spinach and Mushroom bhajis, rice and naan bread. Delivered still very hot in 45 minutes. Thank you ToB.

10 pounds for 6 small pieces of Salmon. Not happy at all.

It was my first curry from here. I have tried a number of local curry places through just eat and this I can say is the best. A real find! I had chicken Tikka dansak and it matched any I have had from anywhere...will be ordering from you again!

Great food & great service. Would definitely use again.

Nice and friendly staff. Delicious food and warm atmosphere.

This was one of the tastiest curry's myself and my family have had in a long time. We ordered a range of curries including chicken, lamb and prawn and they were all delicious and cooked perfectly. The starters were delicious and the bread was very tasty. Would 100% recommend. Also the customer service is amazing. Called up to order and then called again to ask what time to collect (forgot to ask the first time). They knew me by name and were very kind. Great service when going into the shop and very covid safe.

During lockdown number 3 we have as our love of Indian food been rating in our household local restaurant and takeaways and my favourite and best quality has been so far The Taste if Bengal... Well done from all us

Warm, friendly small place with a good menu with classics and few unusual items. Food is well prepared and good value. Very tasty, good size portions and no skimping on meat. Ask for Ali, he treats everyone as an old friend.

Tasty menu and cuisine. Delivered promptly- excellent quality and value. Generous portions. .We shall return!

Excellent food and very friendly and welcoming staff too! Staff could wear masks over their noses, but otherwise brill social distancing measures

Fantastic and consistently good food - we’ve been dining and getting takeaway from Taste of Bengal for nearly 10 years and not even once did the standards drop. Put simply, this place is fantastic!

Great food and v friendly staff, enjoyed my meal.

Service very good staff very friendly food very good and we'll prepared.

We've been to this restaurant with friends before and decided to go for a curry as a couple. The food was really tasty and the service was friendly. It was a bit quiet but I guess that's post-lockdown. We will definitely visit again.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended. Our choice delivery for special occasions and great place to eat out.

Dined at Taste of Bengal for the first time ever this evening and I have nothing but good things to say. The food was amazing, so flavoursome! Papadoms were offered whilst we decided on our mains and came out warm which was nice. I had a Badshahi Chicken and the Mr had a Chicken Tikka Masala, both had generous amounts of chicken. Sides included the best saag aloo I've had in ages, onion bhaji and garlic naan. Server (didn't catch his name sorry) closed with "we hope to see you again regularly, you'll always be very welcome" such a warm an friendly service. 100% recommend and will definitely be visiting again/ getting take away. Thank you!

Always great food, Madras is lovely.

Have driven past this restaurant many many times and it has always been empty ! So I decided to try it out as wanting to find a venue for work Christmas party ( I believe in forward planning . Ordered prawn curry which was totally tasteless , and I mean tasted like prawns in a tomato sauce , I wouldn’t have known I was supposedly eating curry .. Quite a wait despite we at that point only customer in there , and food was warm definitely not cooked fresh ( as we were told twice that’s why delay) The food was nothing to shout out about compared to the smaller sanderstead tandoori two doors up .. Would I return and give it second chance ..... Nope would not waste my time

This is NOT a Indian or Pakistani restaurant, this is run by Bangladeshis who's national dish is Fish and Rice. If you want anything BUT Fish and Rice I would not visit this place, might aswell go to a real Indian/Pakistani place that actually cook the food they are selling you at home. This lot have a selection of badly done curry's, their starter PLATTER is a joke, I mean how stupid do you have to be to call a SMALL PLATE a PLATTER and then put 1 sickly onion bhaji, one tiny samosa and half a sheek kebab on it and then call it a PLATTER. The manager or restaurant owner knows he sells very poor quality food but is too delusional to realize and will actually come up to you to ask how much of a great experience you may(not) be having. Avoid at all costs, back in Bangladesh they would burn this place down.

Fantastic food. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Superb restaurant.
