Bengal Spice, 8 Montagu Terrace, EH3 5QX, Edinburgh
I have had the opportunity to try this take away a few times recently and have been very impressed.
The staff are courteous on the phone and repeat your order back to you ensuring no confusion. The prices are very reasonable.
We had Lamb Dhansak which was very tasty and included green peppers which we did not expect but enjoyed. The Lamb Madras was correctly hot without being overdone on the chilli powder stakes. The lamb in both instances was tender. The quantity was very large, probably about 12 pieces of lamb. As a side order, the mushroom bhaji was nicely spiced and served with fresh coriander. Pilau rice was decent and plain naan good but a bit small perhaps (in stark contrast to the almost over generous main course portions). You could easily run out of naan whilst half way through your main if not careful.
This is a very good take away for those over in North Edinburgh and the free delivery is very speedy too. If you collect the meal yourself then you appear to get a free poppadum.

You know how it is when you move to a new area and you're wary of trying the local takeaways...?
That's been us for five months now!
The menus come through the door, the web is looked at but having been put off by previous cold, greasy offerings, safety becomes first choice and it's chips or pizza.
Well this week was a breakthrough week, not only a new takeaway but one that delivers..!
An hour of browsing and Bengal Spice was the choice, a bit concerned as it wasn't listed on here but being extra brave - went for it anyway.
And it's a winner, an absolute 5 star gem.
The menu was impressive with a nice range of what I'd call standard dishes but also a good selection of specialities.
Selection made, it's time to order and what a painless process that was - answered promptly, in a friendly manner and the order taken accurately first time, no spelling, no resorting to numbers.
The food arrived within the specified 40 minutes (this was Saturday evening), well packaged, secure and nothing spilled or squished.
The food itself was exceptional and the portions particularly generous.
Starters were delicious - Chicken Pakora and Chicken Puri.
Main course was even better with both the Chicken Passanda and Shahi Cashni absolutely brimming with flavours and huge chunks of chicken, and neither having any excess grease or oil which has been seen on too many Indian take aways in the past.
Add a fried rice and a peshwari naan and we have perfection. Yep - perfection, nothing could be faulted from start to finish and for me, that very rarely happens.
If you're lucky enough to live in the delivery area, give it a go, if you're not in the delivery area, arrange some transport and give it a go!
(Tip of the day - if you're ordering for two, consider splitting a rice, the portions are so generous.)

Just to add an update - 2nd weekend on the trot, 2nd delivery from Bengal Spice, 2nd perfect meal.
Top of my list and thoroughly recommended.

30/11/09 - Another update just in case people are thinking a year old review might not apply - oh yes it does, a year later and I'm still regularly ordering from Bengal Spice and still enjoying it tremendously.

I love this takeway, I live in the Leith area and this is by far the best we have tried. We do love our Curry. Lamb Bhuna is particularly good. About to tuck into a garlic chilli chicken from there :) Was only 25 minutes delivery! Can't beat it for quality!
