Star Of Bengal - Whitstable

Nice food but… Horrible managers and Awful restaurant: I had to witness staff arguing at full volume during service. Had to wait a unbelievable 1 hour for my MAINS to arrive. Not surprised as I had low expectations at first. Was my first time visiting Whitstable and fortunately I will Never be coming back. Thanks

We turned up at the dreaded 8pm. They were full. . .but they found a nice table which we enjoyed and good conversation. I had the Lamb Shank. It was excellent, and very tender. Also plenty of it. Served by a very pleasant lad who had time to talk and be polite. Good service, meal arrived in 15 minutes. I could not finish it and ordered less than i normally would, and was still full. Excellent. My friend Tony enjoyed it too.

Good setting, polite and friendly staff, extensive menu, excellent food. A little confusion over our order but they were very busy. Recommend.

Went Friday evening in March 2023, a bit nervous due to the reviews.. however the curry was delicious. Food was not greasy at all (an issue raised in some reviews), service was good and timely. We were not rushed and value was good. Restaurant was well decorated and much bigger than I was expecting. Would return with no hesitation, really glad we went here!

We reached there by 1pm and the waiter told us it’s closed and chef is gone, so we were about to leave but this other guy(his brother apparently) came and told us we can sit and he will make us the item we asked for(biryani) This other customer with a dog came inside and the manager really talked disrespectfully and had an argument with him, and then he and his brother started shouting loudly inside the kitchen leaving us really uncomfortable so we had no choice just to leave there asap as it felt a bit dangerous as their fight was getting escalated. Would not recommend going there, and a strict no if you’re a dog owner.
