Golden Bengal - Purbeck

Have they read reviews about dining? Ignore them. Have they heard reviews about food being cold? Ignore them. The Golden Bengal is outstanding. The food is superb and the menu is incredibly varied. No matter your spice tolerance, you will either be satisfied or challenged! One of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in terms of service. Just go.

This curry house is very authentic. I ordered the vegetable jalfrezi, and while the spiciness was good, I found that it lacked a sweet aftertaste. However, it was not overly heavy. The coconut rice paired nicely with the dish. The Papadum was crispy, though it seemed like it had not just been freshly cooked. Overall, the food was good. The restaurant was not too crowded, and the host was attentive.

My partner and I had a fantastic curry meal. We both loved it but ended up eating too much. We both ordered the tikka masala dish.

We stayed in Swanage for a few nights as a last minute getaway. We found the majority of local pubs and restaurants were all seafood focussed, which is fine, but not really to our liking.Fortunately, we found that Golden Bengall was just a few doors down from where we were staying.Such a find and a fantastic meal. Super high quality meal that clearly had passion and attention behind it. We were all very full afterwards and the price was really reasonable.
