What evettethomas doesn't like about The Mystery Of Bengal:
I have ordered multiple times from this restaurant but today will be the last. My order was incorrect - I received lamb instead of chicken, and the rice and onion bhajis were cold. When I called the takeaway to address the issue, the response I received was dismissive, with the person simply saying "oh dear" and denying that the food was cold. This is not the first time I have had this issue with them. I am now on th... View all feedback. What kerryl2021 likes about The Mystery Of Bengal:
I visited this takeaway for the second time today and ordered 2 chicken kormas with plain rice, 2 keema naans, and a lamb biryani for only £22. The food was of excellent quality, really tasty, and the portions were a good size. I will definitely be ordering from here again soon. View all feedback.

Excellent take away food, good value for money, cooked in front of me while I waited, amazing to watch, tasted as good as it looked will go again very soon.

This restaurant has garnered mixed reviews, oscillating between excellent food quality and disappointing service. Many patrons have praised consistent, tasty dishes at reasonable prices, highlighting the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. However, a series of troubling incidents regarding inaccurate orders, rude phone interactions, and poor handling of complaints have led numerous customers to reconsider their loyalty. Instances of cold food, missing items, and unresponsiveness to grievances have marred the experience for some, prompting them to seek alternatives. While the flavors may entice some, the service issues could deter many from returning.
