so tasty. just came back & our food was delicious! we ordered the chicken curry, saag bahji (amazing spinach dish), aloo paratha bread (stuffed with onions), and mango lassis (best i've had). the whole meal was delicious & it came with plenty of rice.

the service was friendly, prompt, and very accommodating. our waiter was a really kind guy! he also told us that they use no food coloring (lots of mango lassis have food coloring in them) or artificial flavoring--all real fresh ingredients & spices. i'd recommend this place to anyone.

World's worst food. Now this place is a total nightmare. Apart from the horrible taste of food, this place is dirty, unhygenic, I am not sure how Food dept is allowing such resturant. They served me a rotten fish.. it was smelling like hell.. I am not sure if they ever washed the spoons/plates/napkins... In short go here if you still don't believe me and then you experience the hell by yourself...‎

Happily accomadates dietary requests. Balanced spices, light sauces and crisp vegetables. Delightfully warm and colorful atmosphere, friendly service. The response was most pleasant when I requested a substitute for wheat flour and to use oil rather than butter. He was able to make the Piajoo with chick pea flour and a cornmeal Poori. The Rui Macher Tel Piazzi was delicious!

I will definitely eat here again.

Tastefully delicious Bengali food. A true delightful experience: friendly, cheerful and down-to-earth reception. Tasty, exotic flavours served hot even when delivered and at very reasonable prices. Whenever I come to Boston/Cambridge, I absolutely must dine at Bengal Cafe.
