We ordered a takeaway (all vegetarian) and unfortunately left extremely disappointed.
We based on our decision to order from here, going off Paul Wickhams review (please see in the review section), where he has claimed to have regularly visited India, and is adamant that this restaurant offers a real authentic curry. We were so looking forward to ordering after a big long drive from Manchester. Unfortunately we were left very disappointed with what we received:
- Firstly, the Samosas are not fresh or hand made - they?re small, frozen and deep fried; like they?ve been bulk bought.
- The Tarka Dahl was more of a soup and lacked taste and texture. You could not see any lentils in this which is what a Dahl should clearly have.
- The Aloo Gobi did not seem fresh, like it had been refrigerated for a day or two and lacked any taste as did the paneer dish, which was very bland.
None of the dishes were memorable which is such a shame after the high reviews on Google.
Visiting from Manchester and staying locally for a couple of days, me and my partner fancied an authentic South Asian dish - something extremely difficult to find. A lot of South Asian (Indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistani) restaurants in the UK, do take advantage of areas that are not ethnically diverse/or commonly exposed to the authenticity of a ?proper curry?. Being from Manchester and of Indian heritage, we are spoilt for choice and know where to go.
My partner being Indian heritage believes this restaurant as well as others, clearly are happy serving food that I don?t believe they wouldn?t eat themselves at home. We?re tired of south Asian restaurants doing this as we know how fantastic the flavours and food can be. It?s such a shame as we had high expectations based on Paul?s review.

As a local resident who has visited India several times I am well aware that many dishes in Indian restaurants and take aways are totally westernised no one in Kerala or Amritsar or Mumbai has probably ever heard of chicken tikka masala !! But as local Indian restaurants go the Bay of Bengal is certainly one of the best. The vegetable curries and dishes are exquisite, some of the best curry's I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. The dishes have incredible flavours and are visually stunning too The flavours are perfect, the heat is exactly as it's should be, not dripping with oil one bit and the meats in dishes are always cooked perfect, moist and not tough. They have a great menu with so many options that are different to your typical Indian cuisine and are happy to adapt dishes to personal tastes and requirements. The restaurant itself is lovely and clean can often be very busy so well worth booking. Not to mention the very friendly staff who are attentive even remembering your name and drinks preferences even if its some weeks since you been in. 10/10 would definitely recommend

Food was OK but nothing special, initial service OK, drinks overpriced. And after spending over £100 in this restaurant, we where never even seen off the premises with a thank you. So using this venue for sit in or takeaway is very debatable in future. Manors don't cost a penny especially in a restaurant environment.

We visit the island once a year and always make sure we visit the bay of bengal once if not twice. The best curry's we have ever had the pleasure of consuming and i know my curries. The flavours are perfect, the heat is exactly as it's should be , not dripping with oil one bit and the meat is perfect. Not to mention the very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.
