Light Of Bengal

cannot rave about this place enough…
to start i come from the black country where the curries are probably the best for takeaways in the UK but as liverpool goes this one is my favorite.
reasonably priced with a great set of choice — i have tried half the menu and love it.
pickle tray is a must!!!
love the service with some friendly yet professional faces.
recommend lamb here as its always cooked superb!
also for a change the chicken from goa is good (minty so unusual but well flavoured)…
chefs specials are always great although love the karahi and mollakasha as my fav choices!
worth going out of your way to visit

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it takes a lot for an Indian to impress me. You see if you have grown up on some of the most mind bogglingly delicious asian cuisine for most of your life, dining at these Indian pretender restaurants serving mediocre dishes may pass for good to the unsuspecting curry eater but not ME!
Light of Bengal is good, for most but for my money pretty average. Then again as I said it takes a hell of a lot to impress me. In fact there are a handful of restaaurants of the Indian kind I would actually recommend «highly» Mumtaz in Leeds is exceptional, the EastzEast installments in Manchester are bearable and there are others but Light of Bengal didn’t really light my fire I’m afraid to say. No doubt this willl not and should not deter the rest of you going in for some «curry»

This really is a very good curry house! For years, The Light Of Bengal has been a popular restaurant and take away for Liverpool’s Aigburth and South Liverpool areas and many on this side of the city would agree about its status as one of the best in the whole city.
The problem with The Light is of course its situation. Now that the Fulwood Arms has opened nearby, things aren’t quite as remote as they once were along this stretch of road between Garston and Lark Lane so is is possibel to enjoy a curry some beers and entertainment next door and not feel like you are making a bit of a voyage.
It would be worth it though as The Light’s menu is offers a good array of authentic Indian dishes at very good prices and the staff are top blokes. Worth the trek.
