Our usual party of six visited The Bengal Spice on Saturday 9th August. We were greeted politely and asked if we had booked. As we had not, we were told we would have to wait 20 minutes. This was not a problem so we said we would come back then. The response to this was that a table would be found in ten minutes and we were asked to sit in the reception area. Within three minutes we were being ushered to our table and at this point I thought that everything was being rushed. No sooner had we sat down than we were being asked to order drinks! We had not even had time to peruse the menu and asked for a few minutes to do so. Eventually things were sorted out at a slower pace and drinks and food were ordered. As is the norm with our group, everyone seems to order a different meal and I must admit that my choice of starter - the chicken patty - was rather poor, being very dry as if it had been laying around for a while. Everyone else was happy with their starters and the main meals were very acceptable. Overall opinion - staff generally polite and helpful, restaurant clean and tidy with pleasant decor, food reasonable. 7/10.The Curry Monster (On behalf of The Whitnash Curry Lovers)
