I fear writing a review for the Bengal Lancer as I don't want it to get TOO popular :D. This place looks so unassuming, plonked near Kentish Town station, flanked by random chicken shops and charity shops you would half expect it to be crap. Oh boy how wrong you would be. It has a really cheapy feel interior with the faux high backed leather chairs and the bright lights, but looks may be deceiving!
The food they serve in there is by far the best Indian food I have eaten in London, when we asked if they could make the 4 chilli hot curry slightly less spicy as the flavours sounded amazing but our poor British tummies cant hand 4 chilli ratings, they were so happy to do so! Since eating there the first time we have tried the 4 chilli rated curry (it was freaking amazing, but as previously thought, you have to have a strong tummy to take it hahah...).
My favourite dish here is the lamb pasanda, they do lots of non typical dishes which is so good for trying new things. They also offer a takeaway service too. read more
