Blue Bengal Indian Restaurant & Bar

Went as part of a birthday group!!..wow..we were treated so well..b'day confetti on the table,ice cream cake n a bday drinks too!!!.loved the small touches!!..felt so warm n friendly.definitelyy recommend for bdays!..great nite out...

Invited to Blue Bengal as part of a larger party of 10 people. Unfortunately arrived 15 minutes late. The restaurant was approximately 50% full at the time. There were not enough seats at the group table and the staff left me standing at the table for 10 minutes until I asked for a seat. Senior waiter very grudgingly obliged. I was not offered a starter even though the rest of the party were receiving starters. I was left without a drink or anything to eat while the rest of the party ate their starters. Waiter taking the main course order was very abrupt when I asked questions about various menu options; not a smile in sight anywhere from staff. I am not familiar with Indian food and the waiter was very condescending when I asked what items were as if I should know.

I ordered a lamb tikka. I asked about side orders of vegetables etc; but the waiter did not seemed bothered about selling extras. The lamb arrived. It was tasteless, very dry and tough. The lamb certainly did not have the distinctive lamb flavour, bearing in mind it was lightly spiced. I would question if the meat was lamb. It was completely over-cooked and presented with no imagination or flair. The portions were small.

When the group paid, the maitre'd was sour and did not smile or say thank you for the tip. I found the bill very high; well in excess of £20 per head for a single course with 1 non-alcoholic drink, 1 main course with 1 side order.

Overall Conclusion: I will never return to the Blue Bengal in Carshalton. Only the good company of our group saved the evening for me.

We had a meal at the Blue Bengal after my daughter and her boyfriend reccomended it to us.
Staff were really attentive, food fantastic and good prices.
We went on a Monday evening and the restaurant was still busy.
Will definately go back again soon.

The Blue Bengal in Carshalton opened during the Summer of 2006. With a beautiful and modern decor, along with exquisitely cooked food, it fast became the favourite Indian restaurant of both my own and my friend whom I have often visited with.
The menu offers a good variety of authentic Indian cuisine. A little on the pricey side, but not the most expensive place I have visited and certainly to be expected in this particular area. I have visited this restaurant approximately 8 or 9 times over the last 9 months. I recommend this restaurant for the quality of meals offered on the menu.
However, the menu states that "Our chef will be happy to prepare anything that you do not see on the menu". A very nice comment and was certainly true for our first 5 or 6 visits. But suddenly over our last 3 or 4 visits, a rather ill-mannered and balding (just so you know who he is) waiter has arrived on the scene and has refused to approach the chef with my friends request for a standard 'Garlic Chicken' dish. It had never been a problem in the past. But now suddenly it is? Infact, our recent visits have been tarnished by the attitude of this rude man who simply wished to argue with us, being his customers. So much so that our visits have been tarnished. I must add that it is solely this particular waiter that has pro-actively ruined our special evenings. All the other staff are professional and obliging.
