Lively Old Street curry house delivering crowd-pleasing classics with friendly service and generous portions, though service policies and occasional execution inconsistencies divide opinion.
Bengal Tiger delivers solid neighborhood Indian dining with strong food quality in tandoori and curry execution, backed by attentive, personable service that regulars genuinely appreciate. However, inconsistent execution—occasional oiliness, sweetness, and biryani variation—prevents grade A territory, while moderate review authenticity concerns add slight uncertainty. The comfortable, roomy setting and generous portions make it a reliable choice for central London Indian dining, though it lacks the distinction to rank among the area's premier establishments.
One caveat: Service charge handling and bill disputes mentioned by several diners; clarify policy up front
