Spice of Bengal in Hambleton

Absolutely excellent food. Well worth the visit. The ladies toilets out of action though!

Just had a curry from here, very very good honest food, well done spice of bengal. One happy customer

Ordered online from their website. Order was accepted. Was due to be collected at 6.35pm. Set off in my car at about 6.10pm. Upon arrival, there was a message from the restaurant at 6.18pm that they were closed and order cancelled. To my surprise, the restaurant was open. I enquired as to why my order had been cancelled and was told that they were not accepting online orders and my money would be refunded. No apology was offered and the person was very offhand. DON'T ORDER ONLINE!

Very poor service. Not made welcome at all. Food was okay but atmosphere and waiter service terrible.

2 of us wandered in on a Sunday evening for a sit-down meal. Hadn't booked...Of the 3 curry houses in Bedale, this looks the most unassuming. Don't be deceived or put off by that - we found the food to be excellent.Starter: sharing platter for 2. Arrived sizzling & tasted great. Freshly cooked & plenty of it.Mains were of similarly high quality, tasting great & also seemed to be freshly cooked. Of the 3 curries we had on our recent holiday, this restaurant served the best meat to sauce ratio. 😊Another bonus was the price: having paid £50+ for similar menu choices earlier in my holiday, & though that to be "ok" value-wise, our bill here came to sub-£40, & tasted even better. Result!Just need to find an excuse to go back there...

11 of us (six adults, five children) visited Saturday 12/09/20 - we hadn't booked - the food was excellent, hot and tasty and met our various needs (gluten free, vegan, pescatarian). VERY reasonable price too. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food, environment and service. Really busy had to wait 15 minutes for food but it was worth it came really hot and fresh. We all really enjoyed it and will definitely be coming back soon.

Competition is strong with two other Indian restaurants nearby, but the prices are reasonable and the food tasty and plentiful. The surroundings are basic but it is clean and comfortable. We had two courses which were freshly prepared and tasted great.Lots of parking available immediately outside on an evening.My only suggestion would be the inclusion of non-alcoholic beers/lagers. A large television plays Bollywood musicals constantly, which may be intrusive to some people, although we found it added to the experience. Staff are smartly turned out and courteous.

Only gets 1 star as its minimum, awful experience. Up on holiday visiting family, have been going there for 15yr +, last visit ever, fish and chips next time. Food took ages, meat tough, veg raw, waiter on sleeping tablets, never have I had such a bad experience, seems like they didn't even care, when I mentioned the above, it went over his head although he did reduce the bill by £4, paid the remainder of £90+. Absolute joke.....must be nice to be able to rest on your laurels as for a small town like Bedale to have 3 Indian restaurant's as if I owned it I would be worried..👎

Excellent value for money. Lovely food. Very friendly staff. Waited quite a while for the food however the restaurant was very busy, and at least we know it’s fresh! Would definitely recommend
