Outstanding food in a chilled out setting.
Our service was great, our food came out quickly and our waiter made great suggestions for our meals after we gave him lots of questions.
We had a chicken tikka balti and a lamb joori with all the usual sundries.
Beautiful flavours, good portions, can't knock it
Had a lovely meal with 7 other friends here. Really attentive, friendly staff, good sized portions (they even gave us a free dish) and tasty food.
Phenomenal food, and a beautiful atmosphere. We were given excellent suggestions for food and drink, and devoured the lot of it. It was a truly enjoyable evening, and I would not want to go anywhere else in Winchester.
We always pleased with our order and get our Indian takeaway from The Light Of Bengal. Thank you! 😋
A great little place for Indian food in Winchester. Great variety on the menu, efficient service and authentic taste. The regular Indian fair is pretty authentic. You must try their specialties though. Prawn poori is a delicate dish of prawns in a tomato gravy served on a poori, balanced very well for the palette. The meat samosas are good too. In the mains, you must try their Balti dishes, available in your choice of chicken, lamb or prawn. The house special is chicken and lamb balti which we loved. You must also try the Dhansak dishes. It was one of the best we have had in a restaurant! Dhansak is a Parsi traditional dish where the meat is cooked with lentils and vegetables. Traditionally it's mutton dish, but you can get chicken or prawn Dhansak here as well. All in all, a must visit Indian restaurant in Winchester!!
Excellent food. I tried a lamb dish which was delicious called Joori lamb!
It was quiet but was Easter Sunday. The takeaway service was very busy.
Highly recommend
Visited on 21/1/23 booked a table via phone call, happily helped.
Greated warmly, efficient and friendly service. Even happy to accommodate my taste for something very spicey.
Completely blown away with the quality and flavour of our food, to the point of asking for the chef to shake his hand with thanks at the kitchen door while saying thanks to the other staff.
Outstanding food guys, top notch food.
Thank you once again.
Very quiet on the day of our visit so perhaps lacked ambience but the food was absolutely delicious, couldn't fault it, so much flavour. Great prices too.
We have been eating at Light of Bengal regularly for eight years, and it has never disappointed. In a city that prides itself on the range and quality of its restaurants, this is by far our favourite establishment in town, bar none. The food is equalled by the staff, who are generous, warm, witty and deeply committed to their work. Most of the staff have been there over all of the years we have patronised the restaurant, and the consistently high quality food is testament to their dedication. Light of Bengal remains a true treat and treasure in Winchester.
Very nice, delicious Fusion Cooking, good quality ingredients and very reasonable prices. They're very friendly people, best in Winchester.
