Standard Bengal - Christchurch

I do not appreciate being deceived or manipulated, especially by restaurants. My experience at Standard Bengal left me feeling misled and frustrated. We had booked online for their Wednesday night banquet advertised at £11.95, with a 25% off voucher valid Monday to Thursday. Upon arrival, we were told the banquet was available but at a higher price of £13.95 (trick #1). We confirmed with the waiter about using the voucher, who checked with his boss and reassured us it could be used (trick #2). Despite these assurances, when the bill came, we were told the voucher was invalid. The manager refused to honor it, despite his employee's earlier confirmation. After a heated discussion about being misled and lied to, we paid the full bill. I caution others to be wary of trusting the website's vouchers or prices at Standard Bengal. Expect to be deceived and manipulated. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

Four us had a really great night here our waiter was hilarious we laughed all night and the range of dishes we ordered were all spot on. No complaints from us and we will all return.

My partner and I dined at Standard Bengal two nights ago and enjoyed a delicious and fresh meal. We opted for the 'Bengal Night' special on a Wednesday evening. Our waiter, Wahi, provided excellent service and we look forward to returning in the future.

Visited Standard Bengal on Monday evening. Walked in and we were welcomed in and asked where we would like to sit. The whole evening we were made to feel welcome and the waiter, unfortunately I didn't manage to catch your name, made us to feel at home and engaged in entertaining conversation. Having looked through the menu, my usual go to was not there, so I asked and was advised they were happy to make this off menu item for me! result! Very knowledgeable and happy to help advise what curries to choose, Naga Vs Vindaloo! Portion sizes were very generous but did not lack in flavour! Overall we had a great evening and a couple laughs with our waiter! Keep up the good work.

Visited restaurant on a Wednesday night so was able to have Bengal night special for £11.95 pp. Huge range of dishes to choose from all very tasty and large portions. Service was excellent and we will definitely visit again soon. Would highly recommend
