The Old Bengal in South Bucks

Collected a take away from here and the food was cold, dry and extremely disappointing - when calling the manager they just replied to remind th next time. Won’t be visiting again

We have always loved this place and have recommended it to so many friends and family who are now regular customers; but after today, our opinion has definitely changed.We came back from holiday this morning and the first thing we did was book a table for this evening and we were really looking forward to it... The first issue was the volume of the music. There had always been a calm feeling in the restaurant in the years prior, but this seems to have gone. We also noticed a huge increase to the prices (but I know this is commonplace now) The main thing which was disappointing was the service we received. Nobody seemed to really know what was going on; staff were wandering around aimlessly and there was one particular man who was rushing us constantly. He took our order so abruptly and we felt so rushed the entire time. Even the lady on the table next to us commented on how bossy he was when he took her table"s order. When we made payment, his hand was literally hovering over the card machine as my partner entered his pin and then said "Cash tip is better". We were not impressed with the experience tonight at all.

Went to order and collect take out fancied easy, tasty meal...not a chance. Despite being way beyond capacity for delivery or take outs, the staff carried on taking orders whilst fielding complaints by phone or in person as nobody was happy. This appalling greed displayed a sheer disrespect for customers....oh and the food was tasteless and smothered in tomato sauce, kitchen obviously doesn't care either!

Recently visited the Old Bengal for the first time. I tried to book for a birthday- the booking initially was pretty difficult to arrange; so much background noise, lack of understanding ... but we got there eventually. I wanted to drop a birthday cake off before the arranged booking and do a little deco. I was told to drop between a time- I called them as i was worried I maybe a bit late due to heavy traffic on m40, that's when they informed me that nobody is there and they are closed and all of this, I explained that I already had arranged ect ect.Anyway the food was great and service could've been better.Then, I wanted to pack my cake back as there was so much left still... the staff had GOT MY CAKE BOX OUT OF THE BIN AND HANDED IT OVER TO ME TO PUT MY CAKE BACK IN THE ORIGINAL BOX !!! Lucky for a child spotting this and informing me intime before I put the cake back in the 'OUT OF BIN' box !!Fair play for them coming forward and actually admitting to this but I just think that was completely unacceptable !Yeah, worth a go just watch they don't pull anything out of the bin and hand it to you :)

Always been excellent food and services,, eating in or take away,always warm friendly welcome with great food 😋

Absolutely phenomenal the food the waiter who served me had given me a cold soup and I informed him of this and he was very sorry and to compensate for it he donated his left kidney to me and a litre of his blood.The food however was exquisite the chicken korma was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth my friend with me at the time who was dining with me also ordered the chicken korma and he had a seizure when it entered his mouth that was how good it was .The poppadoms where fantabulous they where the right amount of crispy and not at all burnt paired with the mango chutney they made for a formidable duo this time sending my friend into yet another seizure .I got 4 naans the cheesy one was good the keema one was also good however the plain and garlic naans where so good that my friend got up and kissed the waiter directly on the lips. The naans where so good fluffy like a cloud and tasted like a michelin star dish.And now back onto the waiters they where the politest bunch of chaps I had ever met and seemed absolutely willing to serve us food without asking any questions.I had the diet coke from there and when I tell you it was the best Diet Coke I ever had I am not even joking.It had the perfect amount of ice a lovely straw to drink it with and the lemon added so many flavours and took this drink to new levels send my friend into a state of no return.However my friend did return to eat pilaa rice and it was as the Spanish say 'muy rico' the rice was so soft and fluffy then I had the best idea known to mankind I mixed the korma with the rice and it was absolutely astonishing sending my friend into yes you guessed it another seizure this time taking him up the stairs and to the door of the bathroom.After we had finished we were given hot towels to clean our hands and they where the softest things I had ever laid hands on. My friend had just come down and saw me having a seizure he took a towel and also had a seizure we seizured for 5 minutes straight without stopping, by the time we pulled our selves together we had bruises all over us but it was worth.When we received our bill we where given the most indulgent chocolates ever and sent us into another 5 minute seizure.Altogether would not recommend,McDonald's is a lot cheaper not better but cheaper so just go there. Just joking would recommend but beware as you are most likely to spaz out.

haven't been here for 10 years and I now know the reason whywas aiming to go giggling squid, the thai in crazy bear both were busy then tried the Chinese that was shut so ended up here .their meat dishes are fine the issue with these types of Bangladeshi type Indians they haven't a clue on how to make proper vegetarian dishes and this restaurant hasnt a clue .so meat side is fine but vegetables a no nomay try it in another 10 years but i doubt it

Visited this evening for the first time with friends. The restaurant itself presented as clean, welcoming and popular with the locals. Along with the usual bollywood music playing in the background this was on a low volume so the atmosphere was relaxed.However for us unfortunately the food did disappoint. We opted for the sheekh kebab which was on the salty side and the chilli paneer which as described was spicy but should be renamed to extra hot chilli paneer 🔥🔥I'm guessing the rest of the menu might be worth trying if I go by the reviews I have read so won't cross off my list just yet.

Absolutely brilliant fantastic food excellent service bar none. Generosity high standards and just dam right good. Going back again for sure

Very good Indian restaurant. Food was freshly cooked. Waiter was attentive. Will be back.
