This restaurant is so much better than what people are saying!!!

Cannot fault anything, 11/10 across the board.

Only tell your nice friends how good this place is, It doesn't deserve low life customers!

Tried the set meal - sag aloo was nice but tandoori chicken was sweeter than the mango chutney! Funny - but the poppadums were the best part of the meal. Service and presentation were quite nice!

The food at Bengal Quay is quite good.

However, I had a terrible experience with a very rude staff member. My request was simple - I wanted an extra copy of the bill. At first he refused rudely, but when I requested him saying that theirs was in any case a hand written bill, and giving me a copy shouldn't be a problem, he gave me an illegible photo copy (which I'm sure even someone who could read Latin wouldn't be able to decipher). I obviously refused to accept this copy and mentioned that most restaurants would not hesitate to give an extra copy, he shouted back "then go to those places", and then continued to explain again that the copy is all he has - speaking loudly and rudely. More arguments followed, creating an unpleasant atmposphere.

It is disappointing to see how 2 ladies are treated and how staff members wouldn't think twice before raising their voices. I'm sure my friend and I are NEVER going back to Bengal Quay. I'll also make sure that none of our friends and colleagues go there either.

My Husband and i were staying next door at the Hilton hotel, we arrived on a saturday night to be greeted by the manager had a very nice table, I ordered a prawn puree starter chicken tikka buna main, hubby ordered a sheek kebab and chicken jelfrezi, my meal was very nice full of flavour and hot (spice side) we both had a fantastic meal nice.This is a great restaurant and would most definately recommend this restaurant for any one to enjoy a night out.

Finished off with a coffee and a indian ice cream, the staff were always most helpful and hubby said would love to take me back for another meal whilst staying in docklands.

I took my son for a meal here this evening (I am part Indian so know Indian food). The food is delicious (I judge all Indian restaurants first of all by the way they cook dahl - an Indian restaurant which cannot produce good dahl is one to avoid as this is a staple Indian food which all Indians should know how to cook well). Their dahl was superb. The samosas were tastily spiced, pappadoms were fresh and crispy, sauces served with them really good, and the chicken curry was excellent too.

Only the paratha (bread) wasn't as light as I prefer them, but the naans passing us by on their way to other tables looked superb. Pity about the lack of freshly made desserts - they were all frozen, commercially prepared desserts.

I have to say that this is one of the few really good indian restaurants I have eaten at in London (too many are now producing mediocre foods which aren't the genuine thing) , with modern upmarket decor, and the service was good too. They forgot our tea at the end of the meal, so the manager offered us complimentary drinks afterwards to make up (which is a nice gesture and appreciated - much better than the awful La Porte des Indes at Marble Arch - see my review).

Don't be put off by the location - It's worth going there, and you can't hear the DLR train at all, which someone mentioned (this is saying something from me as I hate noise, so if I didn't notice it, it means it was really unnoticeable). It's easy to get to via the Jubilee line to Canary Wharf (or DLR to Heron Quays or South quay), and it's only about two minutes away over the footbridge towards South Quay (or from South Quay back towards Canary Wharf), next door to the Hilton.

And there is nothing wrong with the area either ; it's part of Docklands, and I have never had a problem there even walking around as a woman on her own at night between Canary Wharf and Mudchute when I stayed in the area.
