THE BENGAL DELIGHT, Coventry

We went a couple of weeks ago and had a great meal, but the guy who brought the food out decided he was going to split the rice for us and dished out half into my plate and half onto my friends plate - really...odd, we didn’t ask him to and he didn’t ask us if we wanted him to. Went again last night and the same waiter this time put the rice down and this time placed the spoon in the rice and embedded the spoon so deep along the plate he also ended up putting his thumb into the rice too. The food was delicious, always is, but we then had the waiters come and just start trying to clear the table when we hadn’t finished. They didn’t ask if we were finished, they would just come and start picking up plates and by the third time I lost my rag. The first two times I politely said “thank you but we’re not finished yet” by the third time I said “do you want us to leave? Are we in the way? If not can you just leave us alone” this seemed to work but by then the atmosphere was ruined. It ruined the entire meal out in all honesty. We won’t be back for dine in. I might order it as a takeaway in future because the food is always really nice, but the waiters just haven’t got a clue about service.More

Lovely meal

We've been coming to the Bengal Delight for 20 years and the food is as good as always, such lovely flavoured, nicely spiced curries and always love the popadums with dips. Staff are really lovely. Thank you so much Bengal Delight for a lovely meal...and here's to the next 20 yearsMore

Poor and unwelcoming.

After our plans for Saturday night fell through and already having baby sitter arranged. We struggled to find some where to go at last minute. We had been here before and had a nice time. So when we booked online we were told we would...receive a txt to confirm our booking was excepted. We got the txt and were relieved it got accepted. When we got there we were met by a unwelcoming member of staff who didn't want us there and said that they didn't have a table for us even tho they excepted our booking. We were turn away. We will never go there again if you want have the space don't except a booking online, we had to then walk home and then try find some where eles to eat. We would rather had a decline txt and been a book to book something eles rather than then think can fit us and then be turn away.More

Don't waste your time

Made a booking but when we arrived they turned us away as they were too busy. They had the option to decline our request at the point of booking. Poor service! Ruined a rare childfree night out.

Chicken in my vegetarian meal

Unfortunately, really disappointed with my experience. The food was average, if not a little on the saltier side but that could be down to personal preference. However, I cannot forgive the chicken in my vegetarian meal. I ordered the Paneer tikka masala and felt as...though I was in good hands from a vegetarian friendly restaurant. Would not trust to order from here again after this experience.More
