The dish I had was bland unfortunately. The Chicken balti really lacked flavour and it seemed overpriced, not value for money. Service was however very good.

Not up to it's usual standard.On a busy Saturday evening we waited an hour for our food and staff were not really interested in serving us.Was our favourite in Lichfield so we will give it another go to see if this was just a blip.

A great place for a tasty meal. A little hard to find upstairs but such friendly welcoming staff. Good vegetarian dishes too.

Ordered a takeaway this evening and it went straight in the bin. Food was cold and wasn't cooked fresh despite the resteraunt being empty. Rude staff member who was unwilling to refund me. Don't bother eating here. Save your money. Worst £30 I've spent!

The Bengal is a mainstay of the Lichfield curry scene. From drunken teenage nights to middle age reminiscing this restaurant continues to serve a purpose. There are better curry houses in Lich but somehow The Bengal epitomises all that an Indian Restaurant should be.

We’ve always been fans of the Bengal even though at times we have been a bit disappointed with the food or delivery but they’ve been around a long time and I guess had ups and downs. We have also had some great food and service so we have kept returning. But tonight was really disappointing. Delivery was over an hour longer than promised (apparently due to traffic). The bhuna did not taste or look like a bhuna and was disappointing. The onion bhajees were cold. The chicken tikka massala was watery and the Bombay aloo was poor and tasteless. The rice was fine but the nans were cold and soggy. Over £60 for a meal that was very late and at best passable. Time to move on now I’m sad to say.

Friendly staff, great food. Recommend the chicken korai, good heat & very tasty.

We had a lovely meal here, very authentic and fresh food, good portion sizes with great service. I’ve lived in Lichfield for many years and eaten in all of the local Indian restaurants but this is by far the best. The staff were really friendly and we had a great night.

I have been a regular at The Bengal but no more. I ordered a takeaway, a rude driver called me to say I’m on your road , come and collect your food. I told him I’m in my pyjamas & have paid for a delivery to my property. He continually refused blaming insurance. After a lively exchange he eventually delivered my food. I called the restaurant to complain & was promised a call back from the Manager, no call was received. There are too many restaurants in Lichfield for them to ignore concerns by regular customers. They’ve lost this one !

The first time visiting the Bengal it’s quite a small place however the food was lovely and the staff were very friendly. The food portions were really good. Will definitely be visiting again.
Wouldn't be ordering again from foodhub delivery. Disscusted with the staff response

Myself, my partner and my son travelled out for food on Sunday we literally just got in the car and drove and ended up in Lichfield. We came across the Bengal restaurant and were so happy we did! The food at The Bengal is outstanding and presentation was amazing! The staff all went out their way to make our experience fantastic. The service and friendliness off staff was 100% we couldnt not of asked for more. The restaurant itsself is beautful with a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be returning again. Thanks to all the team at The Bengal!

We had recently seen the Bangladeshi fruit Shatkora whilst watching a TV chef visiting India, so when we saw this on the restaurant menu we decided to eat here as we wanted to eat authentic dishes. We were very pleased that we did! The waiter was very informative about the menu and then gave just the right amount of attention during our very pleasant meal, plus the Shatkora was very tasty.

BEST CURRY HOUSE IN LICHFIELD - HIDDEN GEM This place was recommended to us by a local. We won’t look further for a curry in lichfield. The staff made us feel like special guests the moment we arrived. The food was stunning. I wasn’t sure what to order and the waiter suggested a chicken balti. I said that I want great with spicy food and they made sure it was less spicy so I would enjoy it. We were looked after and accommodated for at every angle. Such a friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back… thank you for such a lovely evening!!
