First of all, I cannot comment on the food because we didnt stop to eat. We booked a table for 9pm and dropped a couple of bottles of wine in beforehand and went for a drink in one of the local pubs. When we returned...our wine had mysteriously disappeared - the head waiter telling us it had been stolen by the people who had been sitting at our table previously. Avoid- there are much more friendly places to eat in AberdyfiMore

We went here about 7pm on Sunday night and had a delicious meal of king prawn bhuna and king prawn dhansak. The meals were cooked to absolute perfection! Would definitely recommend this restaurant to any curry enthusiast.

Had a lovely meal here everything very tasty and piping hot , so much so that we went back same weekend and had another . Again they didn't dissappoint. Restaurant not licensed so be sure to take a beer or wine from one of the...two adjacent pubs who are more than happy to oblige.More

We phoned in advance to collect a takeaway from Bay of Bengal. The food was ready on arrival. We ordered poppadoms/ yoghurt/onion salad which were lovely. However, my main course was disappointing. I ordered korahi chicken which had a rather thin sauce which lacked some...flavour, the chicken in the dish was junks of tandoori chicken. If I had wanted a tandoori chicken dish I would have ordered one. Korahi should be a thick sauce with ginger as a key flavour but this lacked flavour. We also ordered garlic naan (which costs more) but unpacked a plain naan which was flavourless and a bit soggy. My partners main course was lamb rogan Josh which also lacked flavour. Cash payments only so be sure to have cash! Maybe dining in would bring a better experience.More

Some folks we met in Tides Inn recommended The Bay of Bengal to us and we're so glad they did - we just had one of the tastiest curries we've ever eaten!! Top marks for the Tandoori Bhuna special and the mixed Biryani...delicious Sag Paneer...and Keema Naan too! I honestly don't know where the negative reviewers on here have eaten, I'd recommend trying it for yourselves...hope your experience is just as wonderful as ours!!More

Fitted us in without a booking, curry was very nice, bread was fresh, vegetable rice was excellent. Service was very good also. You have to take your own alcohol They only accept cash which is a bit of a nuisance. Tables could do with being...a bit further apart as you feel you are eating with strangers on another table.More

Given how many reviews I’d read before going, that were terribly negative, I wasn’t expecting much at all. Thankfully these reviews were so very wrong. Me, my wife and our 9year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed our food, the service and in fact, the whole experience....Well worth going. Really superb flavours and not swimming in ghee. Well done Bay of Bengal, we’ll be back.More

Ordered lamb rogan josh which was all fatty and not able to eat complained and sent back but still expected to pay. The special did not contain any king prawns and was reduced by £1. When I asked to speak to the chef it turned...out there was no chef and food was cooked by waiting staff. Please avoid this place.More

The take away food was warm-ish and the naan breads were cold. The meat dishes were nearly meat-free given how little meat was actually in them. The sauces were inferior to what you can get from a jar in the supermarket. Added to the above,...they only accept cash (!) and I was short-changed! It was telling how quickly they corrected it without me even saying how much was missing! I’ll cook my own next time for a fraction of the cost!More

Been using Bay of Bengal since April this year, for one if not two take away meals per week. The food is fantastic, the welcome and whole customer experience is first class. I am quite choosy when it comes to curry's so its great to...have found such a gem of a place which is also quite close by for our weekly take away. Big thanks to the entire team, you always make customers feel special with your welcome, no matter how busy you are.More
