Bengal Tiger Indian Food
“We then had lamb korma (spicy) chicken tikka masala, daal, plain naan and garlic naan.”
“My boyfriend and I, we each order the prix fix because the portions are made for one person.”
“At first glance, we were surprised by 2 things: (1) This place is BYOB so come prepared!”

We had high hopes for this place after seeing the overall Yelp stars but found the food to be quite average in flavors in comparison to the many other options in Manhattan. I personally find Indian food to be amazing in NYC and likely second to only London.
We had the paneer makhni (farmer's cheese), which was bland and the curry was watery. The rice wasn't fresh but the naan was amazing. The service was short and lacking any welcome or warmth.
One of my favourite Indian restaurants outside of Canada. We were in New York celebrating my birthday, and as Indian cuisine is both my husbands and my favourite, we decided to look for Indian restaurant close to Time Square. Reviews looked awesome, so we decided to give it a shot. I have to say, that this was the best chocolate choice. The place was really nice and cozy, the food arrived very fast (I actually wish it didn't come so fast, as we wanted to spend more time in the restaurant), and both dishes that we ordered were so so delicious.
I loved that they had plenty of vegetarian dishes, very flavourful. Also the drinks were very tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant, if you like Indian food.
Requested delivery for the 3 course Fix w/Samosa, chicken curry, garlic naan and papadum. I requested the chicken to be mild and though it was alright, I did not find the price worth it. I've had better garlic naan & samosa at Indikitch and better chicken curry in Edison, NJ. I heard great things about this place which yet again might apply to dining in vs delivery.
Pretty good Indian food! Only issue being a non-new Yorker is that tables are so close to each other you could literally hear the next tables conversation or hear them chewing while you wait for your food to come out. It's not ideal if you are a heavy person trying to squeeze in to sit down. Service was not bad. Bathroom is unisex and the smell was of urine when you walk in. They need a freshener cuz God knows after eating Indian food you don't want to go in the bathroom after someone's been inside for quite awhile lol. But overall food was good.
It seems like this restaurant gets most of its raving reviews purely from the fact that it's BYOB and that the portions are huge. Aside from that, I think the food is just okay, so the takeout experience was alright.
I had the chicken tiki masala, and while the sauce tasted pretty good, the chicken was incredibly dry. I likely would not order it again.
We visited Bengal Tiger for dinner with high hopes and everyone in our party returned with a negative review.
The restaurant is small with about 10-12 tables only. If you have kids, you'd be lucky to get a high chair because they only have 1 high chair and it might be already in use (as was the case when we visited).
We ordered from the prix fix menu.
The samosa were hot and the chutney was great. The Mulligatawny roll was pretty good too.
The entrees were bland all around the table (chicken, and veg) and the spice level was horribly low, one wonders if it is an Indian restaurant!
The service was slow and not what had we expected
Went here for lunch with a friend. They offer appetizer, rice naan bread and two protein of your choice for 9$, a real steal for this area. Casual environment with tasty food. We will be back
The lunch special is so cheap! Pick 2 with rice and naan for $9 and they accept credit cards including Amex
