"This location should, in theory, be 10/10 experience in my opinion.. Wonderful building.. Various parts to it, as in a nice main restaurant, with plenty of seating of varying styles.. A canal right next to it with narrow boats meandering past the location.. So why was our experience dissapointing .? Ok.. Service by staff was hit and miss.. And you can't say there wasn't enough staff on duty on a gorgeous Sunday lunchtime.. In main restaurant.. The marquee extension and seating outside, staff were plentiful.. But if you have staff just twiddling fingers and not watching customers, whether for food and drinks orders,or actually trying to pay the bill at the end of our time there.. Lost count of number of times we asked for our bill please .. Finally , one young lady got the bill.. Then vanished again.. She came back a short time later, and said she has to wait for the card machine.. Seriously, has such a large, well established business only operating a small number of card payment machines that customers have to sit and wait..? After around 10mins, we just got up to walk to one of the various cash till/ screens, dotted around the location.. But here again, we just didn't get served , until a gentleman in a grey polo shirt asked if he could help? Absolutely you can..I said to him.. Can we PLEASE PAY OUR BILL..???? We've been waiting far to long to just pay our bill.. Suddenly a card machine was made available.. Billl paid,we left... The actual cusne was very nice.. Couldn't fault that part of our experience.."

"I have been ordering takeout from Little Bengal (formerly known as New Dilshad) for nearly two decades. Throughout this time, the restaurant has undergone various changes in terms of staff and decor, but the food and service have always been consistently outstanding. It is unfortunate that some individuals have a single negative experience, often related to delivery, and feel the need to immediately leave a bad review. Personally, I have never encountered any issues with food delivery in the past, although I have not utilized the service in over two years. The wait times for pick-up orders are always reasonable, and the food is well worth any wait. Compared to other similar restaurants, Little Bengal consistently excels in terms of flavor, portion size, and menu variety. I have sampled a variety of dishes over the years and have never been disappointed. The samosas are crispy, the curries are all distinct and far from bland, the rice is perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the breads are consistently delicious. I highly recommend the stuffed paratha, although the naan breads are equally excellent. The chicken dishes are always generous and cooked to perfection. The chefs at Little Bengal are truly exceptional, in my opinion. Additionally, their kebabs are exceptional and stand out from those typically found locally alongside fish and chips. The kebab platters, which come with naan bread, salad, and chips, are a must-try. The quality and flavor are unmatched by other kebab establishments. While the prices are average for the area, the generous portion sizes and high quality make it worth every penny. I am grateful to Little Bengal for the countless delicious meals I have enjoyed over the years."
