"There was no alcohol available on the lunch menu, and I’m unsure if the evening menu includes drinks. Additionally, there were no desserts listed. While we waited, our coffees took quite some time to arrive, and by 1:10 PM, the final meal was served with a reminder that we needed to finish by 1:30 PM. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We didn’t use the restrooms, so I can’t comment on their availability or location. Having read other reviews, we were expecting a good experience, and overall, we enjoyed our visit, though we would have appreciated a bit more time to savor our meals. On a side note, we parked in the lot behind the bus station and were puzzled by the numerous cars along the access road. When it came time to pay, we discovered that there was no cash option, only card payments, which proved a bit tricky for us. Thankfully, a kind gentleman offered guidance on how to complete the transaction, so be warned if you’re not very tech-savvy like us!"

"We came here after my mother's funeral. The buffet provided was very good. It was fresh and plentiful. It was placed next to the open windows, so flies were a problem. Probably would have made more sense to have had it at the back of the room. Tea and coffee was not offered freely and we had to chase staff for it. The seating arrangements were disappointing as we were all sitting separately and it affected the atmosphere somewhat. The staff were obviously very busy but were friendly and obliging."

"The food was just “OK.” The pizza sauce had the texture and taste of plain passata, and it seemed like they may have run out of salt and seasoning. However, the dough, bread, and pasta were quite good. With a few improvements, this place could easily stand out from the competition. The service was good, and the prices were reasonable, but a little more flavor would significantly enhance the overall experience. I plan to return at some point in hopes of a more flavorful meal, but I’m not in a hurry to do so."

"There seems to be a very mixed bunch of reviews. The bad ones referring to delivery time rather than the food itself. This was my last night in the area so thought I would give it a go. Ordered online for a collection. The chap...who served me was very friendly. Picked up my order and headed back to the hotel. As you look back through my reviews you will see that I am a mixed grill and Shashlik fan. I would like to think I know a good mixed grill when I come across one. My benchmarks are Southall for the mixed grill and Liverpool street for a Shashlik. These I would say are the gold standard. Both dishes from Taste of Bengal lacked any real flavour. They were the right colour but tasted really bland to the extent if you closed your eyes you would have no idea what you were eating. Such a shame as the first impressions of the place was really positive. I am giving this place an average, but only just. I would like to try some of their curries next time as these have better reviews. Perhaps next time."
