Bangladesh Curry Mahal

Norul (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) is the owner and he is a wealth of knowledge and very nice guy. This restaurant has been around Putney for over 30 years (he tells me over a beer while I wait for my order). Once the mainstay of the Bobby's walking the beat, who were previously housed opposite on Upper Richmond Rd, the Bangeldeshi Curry Mahal still does some great food. Despite the dated decor and the usually unfilled dining room that lacks any great ambience (unless you get a few lads in there).

I am sure it is only the victim of the High St mentality (and its lack of proximity to it) as well as the abundance of Indian take-aways and restaurnats that permeate the UK which has seen its fall from grace in terms of popularity, but if you are in the area and looking for something sub continental then give this place a go.

I have visited here many times and have found the food freshly produced and authentic. And if you like a bit of spice to your night ask for the Phal....and then reassure them that yes you like it hot !

Enjoy.
