Recently I took my sons out for an Indian meal and we went to The Bengal Bear in Box, Wiltshire. The food was outstanding, only surpassed by the level of service. What we thought would be a simple process of choosing what we fancied turned into a real education. For the carnivores (my three sons), Afzal offered marinaded or non-marinaded meat. For me, as a pescatarian, he advised me, based on questions he had asked, which of the fish dishes would be most to my liking. I ordered a dish called ‘Fish Molly’ which I had never tried before and it was absolutely delightful. All the staff were extremely polite and friendly, without being ‘over the top’. The presentation of the food and of the restaurant was impeccable.
In summary, here’s what the Bengal Bear did well:
• The key essentials were right – the food, the presentation, housekeeping standards – all fab!
• The polite and attentive manner of the staff
• Tremendous added value during the ordering process to ensure that we made the best menu choices for each of us individually
