Bangla Spice in South Ribble

We had a great meal here for our grandson's 13 th party,staff were very helpful

The food was great, best I've had in the area. It was brilliant value for money. The service was brilliant and the staff always had a smile. I will be going back.

Took our kids for their first Indian Restaurant experience...safe to say they LOVED it. Food was brilliant as always and staff are helpful and friendly.

Lovely place with exceptional service staff who are so helpful. The food is lovely and fresh. And big portions we had to take some home for later.

Bill wasn't quite right, again(!) but they agreed to what we had ordered. Apart from that, the food arrived in a timely manner and was excellent as usual.

Just been for a meal for a friends 70th , 35 of us. Service , food and staff amazing , and we had separate bills but the staff handle it without any issues , well done will definitely come again

I don't often post reviews but bangala spice deserves so much credit I felt it necessary. Firstly and most importantly, the quality of food is exceptional! Me and my partner like completely different things but we both agree that there isn't anywhere local that is a patch on this place. The meats always A****** and the curries are really tasty. I highly recommend the Nagar Behar! Secondly, the staff there are brilliant creating a nice atmosphere (while I sneak a quick pint in). Thanks again!

Food is always good. Service often feels a bit random, if you know what I mean. In my most recent visit with a large group I received my food 15 minutes before the rest, so I'd finished before the rest started eating.

We've been wanting to try Bangla Spice since moving to the area 18 months ago, finally managed to go last weekend. We booked a table for the 2 of us and our little boy (age 3). Overall enjoyed it but wasn't thrilled with the service levels, the staff were not very attentive.We sat down and tended to our little boy while looking at the menu, they came to take our order but we wasn't quite ready so we asked for a couple more minutes. They didn't return for longer than we expected but lots of waiters walked past us several times. They came back to take our order after about 10 minutes. We ordered drinks and asked what they had for children - they had cups of cordial but thats all, no bottles of juice or anything (everywhere usually has fruit shoot or equivalent) so we opted for no drink for him as I didn't fancy juice everywhere (he's clumsy, knocks it everywhere, not got the greatest cup control just yet etc.), luckily I had a bottle of water in my bag for him. I think all restaurants should offer a bottled drink for children as that's what most would order. Anyway we ordered the food and drinks and then the drinks and starter came fairly quickly.Starter we had poppadoms and chutney tray which was nice, the chilli sauce wasn't spicy at all more of a coriander taste to it (I'm not a fan of the chilli sauce or coriander but my husband prefers it with more of a kick). Not the end of the world, we enjoyed it anyway.They came to clear the plates after the poppadoms and they took away the chutney tray quickly without asking (we hadn't noticed as they were gone so fast) but usually when we go to any Indian Restaurant they ask if we want to keep the chutney tray for the table to use with the mains so we thought this was the norm but they took it away. Again not the end of the world but we would have liked to keep it at the table to eat with our mains. Our drinks were low too and they didn't ask if we wanted any more drinks (again they were gone so fast we didn't get chance to ask).We sat waiting for our mains and we had finished our drinks and were sat with empty glasses for quite a while. Again several waiters walked past (not close enough for me to flag them down but you'd think they'd be looking at who needs service as they go by) but never came to ask if we wanted more drinks or anything. Our mains came and I asked the waiter if we could have more drinks which he arranged. We ate our mains and I wasn't feeling well (pregnancy related) so I left mine and later asked for a doggy bag to take it home for later. Husband enjoyed his food just said it wasn't as flavoursome as he was expecting (it was the equivalent dish to what he usual gets from other Indian Restaurants), little one enjoyed his kids tikka, and I enjoyed my mixed kebab and onion bhajis (when I ate it at home later) - the meats were very soft and well flavoured.A few minutes into eating the meal a waiter passed and asked how the food was and we explained it was fine. Then during the course of eating our meal we drank our drinks again and was again say with empty glasses for a while (I was only drinking cola too which was a very small glass so it went down really quickly). Again nobody came to check if we wanted more drinks or anything. We sat with empty glasses until we had finished eating and then someone came to clear our plates - I asked for a doggy bag for mine (to eat at home later) which I had to package up myself due to covid, and we asked for more drinks and the dessert menu. We got the drinks and an ice cream for the little one. We paid and left.We quite enjoy Indian food and have been to several Indian Restaurants, in particular one in Wigan where we used to live. We eat out at Restaurants regularly, once a week where we can. Through our experience at Indian Restaurants, and Restaurants in general, we have come to expect certain service levels. We expect waiters to be attentive and drinks to be kept flowing. This was not the case at Bangla Spice.The food was fine but our overall experience was let down by the service levels.

The food has always been Amazing & they have started a special 3 course deal for £10.95. We left completely full. The staff are great & friendly.
