Fantastic tandoori paneer curries

Feb 2025 • couples

We enjoyed fantastic service for our anniversary dinner. We asked to substitute the meats in the mango curry and the bhuna for paneer and was recommended having tandoori paneer. Our curries were delicious and well accompanied by the peshwari naan and boiled rice (recommended to us so that we could enjoy the full flavour of the curries). Service was efficient and friendly. Food came out promptly after poppadoms and was all hot. We were checked on during our meal and ordered additional drinks. The meal was followed by complimentary fresh orange slices (very refreshing) and hot towels. We will definitely be visiting again.

Indian fare at Dine Bangla in Baldock

Oct 2023 • couples

I love Indian food and Dine Bangla in Baldock did not disappoint. There were so many choices for curries and the vegetable section reminded me meals at this Indian Restaurant near by uni in East London because of the usual choices like saag aloo and the prices being 3 pound ish. They didn't have as many options for rice as they did but the mushroom rice was there. Ordered the Balti Rani, Garlic naan, Bindi Bahjee and mushroom rice. Anyway, I loved my carbs so the mushroom rice was what I needed and there were many slices of mushrooms. The bindi bahjee as a bit different and dry compared to other restaurants I've had it. The Balti Rani had the right amount of heat which complemented the rice well. Last but not last the garlic naan looked the part but it was strangely sweet like a donut. Overall, I was happy with dinner and the ambiance and seating was comfortable.

Lovely! We'll be going back

Oct 2021 • friends

We booked having not tried this restaurant before but we'd read some good reviews. Our booking was for a Thursday evening and we were pleasantly surprised to see it was busy as many restaurants are still so quiet because of covid. Busy yes but not over crowded. We were warmly welcomed and seated and our drinks order taken. The menu has a lot of choice but my friend didn't spot quite what she was looking for so she chatted to the waiter and together they came up with just what she wanted...a slight tweak to something already on the menu. Both our starter and main courses were delicious. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. We will definitely go again.

Poor service experience

Dec 2023 • friends

As a loyal customer for many years, I was shocked and appalled that after paying the bill provided, the amount was then scribbled out, over written with a higher amount and brought back to the table. The main issue was not with the cost but more the rudess and handling of the situation. On top of this the service was very slow and not what I am used to from this establishment. I will be holding back from the making anymore of the vast recommendations I have previously given to people to visit this restaurant and I will not be visiting again in a hurry. It was the first visit for some of the group and they have confirmed they will not be returning. Such a shame from what has been a consistently brilliant experience in the past.

Very Very disappointing

May 2022 • none

Booked for a table of 6, arrived and had to wait for the tables to be re-arranged, this should have been completed before as they had a booking. Drinks arrived promptly. when we eventually got fed up waiting, we asked if we could order. Waited just over an hour and twenty minutes for the meal to arrive and this was only after one of our party complaining very loudly, worse still in this time they managed to supply lots of collections and deliveries. Unfortunately many items on the list were either forgotten or something completely different was sent instead, eventually this was nearly sorted, but we got to the stage that it was close enough. The whole event upset my daughter who suffers from anxiety so much she barely ate anything. this then completely put me off. Of the food that was delivered, most was ok, however meat was substituted with horrendously large lumps of pepper (see photo). The Onion Bhajees were tasteless and just too floury. At the stage of paying we were informed that they had 2 members of staff off, so why take takeaway orders before servicing the restaurant? Would I try again? NO

Very Disappointing and Expensive

Dec 2021 • none

I have visited this restaurant a number of times, however on this occasion our food was great, the service was very slow, ok maybe COVID may has caused less staff levels. However, the bill was very high for a midweek quick meal for two, for Starters, Mains and a few drinks. I questioned this with the manager, zero customer handling skills, said prices had increased because of COVID, and made a remark about MacDonald's! The Restaurant was not very busy, I understand why, with such poor leadership, who has no interested in customers feedback and was arrogant. I will simply not return and will no longer recommend Dine Bangla!

Best Indian Restuarant for miles

Brilliant food and service. The staff are always friendly and able to offer advice and tweak the meals. We have a vegetarian daughter and the waiter was very understanding. We always go here if there is a special occassion and would thoroughly recommend it

The Best Indian Restaurant in our Area

Feb 2022 • none

Dine Bangla is part of bi-weekly visits, the team are great and very attentive, the price isn't cheap BUT neither is good quality produce. If you want cheap food and cheap prices then Baldock has other alternatives close by. Our whole family love it here. Well done guys see you soon.

Bangla Birthday Bash

Jan 2022 • family

Went to the Bangla to celebrate a family birthday. We were seated in good order and drinks arrived very quickly while we decided on what we were going to eat. We went for a quite varied selection so we could try other than our normal curry choices at other restaurants. The service was very good and our food arrived steaming and sizzling. We had no complaints at all with any aspect of the meal and will be back in a week or two for another get together.

Third chance in past year. never going back.

Feb 2021 • family

Poppadoms dreadful dirty taste, clearly very old oil used. King prawn bhuna is repeatedly not king prawns. Chicken tikka masala only three chunks chicken. Onion beak is a dirty oil taste that leaves unpleasant after taste. Lamb bhuna with only four bits of lamb and it’s horribly chewy and fatty. Totally unpleasant meal and they always seem to wrongly/overcharge or, like this time they gave an extra random dish of potato curry and charged for it. Nearly £40 for three people and very unpleasant experience indeed. Not authentic tasting dishes, much better quality of food at much cheaper prices locally elsewhere. I would repeatedly rate dine Bangla as a nice looking eatery but that’s it! Deeply disappointed in the poor food. Disgusting is the only word for it.

Delicious takeaway

May 2023 • couples

We usually eat in at the Dine Bangla but yesterday we had a take away. It was so delicious that I felt I needed to write a review. I had the king prawn biryani, my husband king prawn damask-both so tasty and very well cooked. We also had matar paneer and mushroom rice, again delicious.

Sad Downturn...

Nov 2020 • couples

Very sad to report an average review for what was our favourite “Indian” within reasonable driving distance of Stevenage. We try and get here a couple of times a year since we were introduced the place by local friends some 12 years ago or so and have always loved the food. This time we got a takeaway due to the current restrictions and unfortunately I have to mark them down for two things - portion size and the amount of oil used. Of course I’m aware that Asian restaurants often use a lot of oil but it really isn’t necessary to use this much, because of the drive home the contents had a chance to settle. We tipped out ridiculous amounts that I’m assuming we’d normally eat if we were at the restaurant and I have issues with too much grease so maybe won’t return which is a terrible shame. The portion sizes were also poor, the takeaway cost over £40 but it really wasn’t worth it, aside from the oil issue the flavours were generally good but the bulking out of the Korai with massive chunks of onion and peppers was ott and the amount of chicken in the garlic chilli chicken was very poor. To be honest I was a tad disappointed that a couple of poppadums weren’t thrown in spending that amount but that’s their prerogative I guess. I’m always sad when decent eating establishments lose their way, diners are rightly picky these days and loyalty only goes so far.

Best local indian food

Have used Dine Bangla for many years it is without doubt the best food and service anywhere locally. I have tried others but they simply do not come anywhere near this consistent quality. Cheers 007

The best Dansak

Jan 2020 • none

Had a cracking meal here on Wednesday. Staff are very attentitive, almost to the point of being overbearing! Not they mean too, it's that they like to know everything is good, which it certainly was. The pickle selection with the popadoms is lovely but they don't let on with the recipe or ingredients, like a Bangla take on salsa. We had 3 different meals between the four of us, a medium curry, chicken korma, and my own Dansak. The chef here knows how to rock the flavour in the dansak, hot and sour with that extra after-kick! Fabulous. As with all eateries the drinks are pricey but overall it is good value.

Enjoyed the visit

Oct 2021 • couples

Visiting area and decided to try this place. Nice and clean and staff friendly. Good choice of food and appeared freshly cooked. The mango chicken had lots of sauce and needed more chicken. Felt slightly rushed along once we had eaten. Would try again and recommend.
