After a spur of the moment decision to eat out, Irene eventually booked a table at Bengal Clipper for dinner. This Indian restaurant caught her eyes one night and given that it's on the Taste Card, Irene decided to try them out.
A sign outside the restaurant says they have a set two course dinner for under 13 quids but because we were using our Taste card, which has a buy one get one free offer, we ordered from the a la carte menu. The menu was quite extensive, consisting mainly of chicken and seafood dishes. Prices are quite steep, with mains costing on average 10 quid each.
At the top of the menu, they had a short blurb about the chef and all the great places he's worked at. They also mentioned that various guides have listed Bengal Clipper as a must try Indian restaurant in London. Going through the dishes, several of them mentioned that they are made with a special sauce unique to Bengal Clipper.
We ended up ordering a naan bread, a mixed starter, a giant prawn cooked with their special sauce, a chicken curry cooked with their special sauce, a duck curry, a pilaw rice, a plain rice, an Indian pistachio ice cream, and another Indian dessert. Food wise, every dish was very tasty and their portions were reasonable. Their special sauce was indeed quite unique, not having ever tasted anything like it at other Indian restaurants.
Overall, the food was great but if we were to pay full price for it, we would have found it too expensive! Even after the Taste card discount, the meal cost 40 pounds, which is on the pricey side.
