Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Bengal Raj is like that friend who promises a good time and delivers, but maybe not quite as exciting as you'd expect. I mean, their mutton Rogan Ghosht is described as "incredibly tender" by Rahul, which sounds great until you realize it’s still just a classic curry. The staff are reportedly lovely, and the cozy vibes definitely add to the experience. But let's be real—it's not blowing anyone’s socks off, just a safe choice for a decent night out. If you want to be the person who orders the same safe options, this place is for you.
To be fair, everyone’s raving about the food being "delicious" and reasonably priced—£10.50 for the Rogan Ghosht, which is not bad in today’s economy. But with a Google rating of 4.4, it's a solid restaurant without the bells and whistles. If you're in the mood for a mild curry adventure and nothing too spicy, Bengal Raj is ready to serve you without any drama.
"God was it amazing… Incredibly tender, juicy and spot-on mutton."
