Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the curries, especially as takeaways, with a chicken tikka pathia described as cooked perfectly with a subtle aromatic spice, and dupiaza and madras also named by regulars. Close behind are the deluxe box, called a huge portion with lovely naan and meats, and a smash burger with nacho cheesy chips. One Bengali diner says the food keeps its traditional taste and texture, and a walking group of about thirty was served efficiently with no mix ups. The venue is described as quite small, and one reviewer would like a refurb. A few recent orders went badly. A chicken jalfrezi was not cooked enough and the food was swimming in oily water. Another order brought watery curries with no flavour and a half full pack of chips, and one reviewer got burned, uncooked bread. Two of these reviewers say earlier orders had been good. Staff are called friendly and lovely, and one customer who forgot an item was happily accommodated with a last minute addition to a delivery.

“Haven t dined in but always so impressed with the takeaways. Usually dupiaza, R Josh, the odd madras or a veggie medium for a change. Tonight i revisited an ild friend from years ago .. chicken tikka pathia. Oh my life!!! It is off the scale brilliant!!! Cooked perfectly, flavour spot on and a subtle aromatic spice as a different flavour hint. Why did we stay apart so long, my beautiful pathia??? I can see us hooking up frequently :) xx If you haven t tried this, do give it a whirl. :) xx”

“Have been using Bengal Cottage for years and we visited this weekend with a group of about thirty from the walking group that I operate. The service was amazing and friendly as always, everybody's food served efficiently and no mix ups with who had ordered what. But the FOOD IS UNREAL, absolutely the best Indian restaurant in the Bolton area. We are spoiled every time we go, decent choice as well with good portion sizes. Be sure to bob in for a top notch Ruby! And thanks to all the staff for welcoming us in to the restaurant - see you next time! COLIN.”
