The flavours of the curries are always consistent here, although it is hard to identify any of the ingredients in the sauces as I was able to at other curry houses except the green chilies. They also give you extra when you order over a certain amount. This is great offer, but I recommend they use a credit system for next purchase (a simple royalty stamp card) so that customers can plan their meal. We had so much left over with the extra free dishes not even touched. I am one that do not like to waste food, so had to rearrange our fridge to store everything (not fun) Quality not quantity is the key to keeping customers satisfied and our weight down. Service great and do recommend this establishment for a good o' curry!

Like Curry? Live in or visit Bedford?…read more Well I can't recommend Magna enough, the Chicken Bhuna in this place is simply delicious with just the right ratio of hotness to fullsome flavour as are all the dishes i've tried over the years. It's not as cheap as some places in the town but considering the tastiness i'd say it's one of the most value for money. So if you're on a night out with the lads you should make this place your first stop. My Order of Choice: Chicken Bhuna, Pilau Rice, Garlic Naan and most importantly of all.a LARGE Kingfisher! Interesting Fact: Magna is Bedfords oldest Curry House.

I have to simply tell you that i am a great fan of Indian cuisine…read more I have recently revisited a town i lived in the East Anglia area of Bedfordshire. There it lay, only a brief walk from the Town center, the bridge over the river Ouse at virtually at the entrance of the fabulous Swan Hotel. If you are ever in Bedford do not miss the thrill of an evening of delight at The Grand (Indian) Restaurant at 39 Tavistock Street. You are not treated like a good customer at, "The Grand." Rather, are you a revered member of the family! There is no end to the kindness, politeness, and sincere care and respect with which you are treated and served. It is a lovely and quaint romantic atmosphere with colourful but muted lighting. An excellent romantic first date or celebratory destination for any age. And then there is the food, itself. I cannot say enough about the quality, flavour, colour, and presentation of this incredible cuisine. It is so incomparable and gorgeous in colour and beauty that i had to take multiple photographs of the entire panorama. The sauces are without compare. Feel free to experiment and order anything on the bill of fare or order one of your faves, such as lamb kourma, saab paneer, chicken masala, or the fabulous, Tandoori mixed grill, with extra prawn. You may be confident of delectable "take home" or leftovers from this exquisite parade of the palette, but what is more is that you will take home with you the memory of a grand experience extraordinaire.

This restaurant is on walking distance from the hotel so decided to walk up there for lunch. I entered the restaurant and no one greeted me after few awkward mins of waiting when two severs went passed me few times without any acknowledgment. Then I approached myself and asked for a table for one. And the reply was we don't have any tables open and there were at lest 5 empty tables in the restaurant. I asked him why are you saying that when you have so many tables open. His reply was they are just not open. They just didn't wanted to sever me for what so ever reason. I have travelled to many countries and cites in world never had such experience. I have had bad experiences in restaurants but they go as far as bad service that's about it. This was some thing different level. I felt so humiliated and disrespected. I asked for a manger and this guy tells me he is the manager then I asked for owners info. And the answer was no one has owners info. When I asked for owners info. This skin and bone skinny guy suddenly stared to show me attitude, aggression and started staring at me like he was going to put his hands on me. Which by the way didn't scare me at all it only made me laugh inside. That was the limit for me to leave. so, then I left. I walked to another Indian restaurants which was so close too. And later i learnt that there are so many Indian restaurants in the area. I wished I would have never went to this place. It ruined my mood all day.
