What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Golden Bengal is praised for its authentic South Asian cuisine and friendly staff, with many highlighting the deliciousness and value of takeaway options.

"Food in seaside towns can often be hit and miss but I'm happy to say that the Golden Bengal is excellent on all counts. The staff are friendly, the menu extensive and the dishes both fresh and tasty. They really know how to deliver a tasty supper. One slight word of warning though - when a menu item is labelled as 'hot' then you'd better believe it!"
