Standard Bengal - Christchurch

Went out for dinner on spec and really wanted a curry. Wanted close to home and the Standard Bengal was the perfect choice. Service was friendly, professional and spot on and omg the food was to die for. So tasty and enjoyable. Just layers of flavour. Well worth a visit

Such amazing food and great customer service, wahib our waiter made sure we were well looked after, great food and lovely interior, well done

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.

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.
