Lovely meal , Lovely staff and a nice pint of Cobra , nothing was too much trouble hope to visit again.
First Class dining experience!
Warm welcome from the lovely young waitress and the owner of the restaurant, who took a great interest in ensuring that we knew what we were ordering, when the meal was different from our usual.
Food was excellent, as each of our three dishes were full of flavour and the Peshwari nan was one of the best we`ve ever had. We had been to another Indian restaurant lately where my son had only been served 4 medium sized prawns in his King prawn biryani, whereas he was given a satisfactory amount of freshly made succulent prawns in this restaurant, so compliments to the excellent chef and owner!
The overall ambience of the restaurant was very nice and the toilets - which looked as though they`d just been freshly decorated - were spotlessly clean. We went to the Bengal Merchant after visiting the Bowes Museum, and will definitely be back again soon!
One of two Indian restaurants in Barnard's Castle. We didn't visit the other one but we were very happy with our choice. The welcome was friendly, the service prompt and the dishes from the varied menu were very tasty. Once again the toilets were on an upper floor so not for those who don't do stairs. Ample parking on the street.
Lovely meal with good service. Will be booking again next time we are in Barnard Castle.
A great place to eat. Wonderful food and friendly attentive service.
A must visit when In Barnard Castle.
Had an excellent meal tonight
We shared the signature chicken wedding dish which was more than enough for two. The starters and side dishes where well cooked
The service was attentive and quick
We will be back
Had a real good tasty Indian curry. The staff were brilliant and couldn't be more helpful. A lovely friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend the Bengal Merchant.
We had a lovely meal here on Thursday night. The food was excellent and we got well looked after by the owner and staff. All the food was excellent including the Tarka Dhal! I would definitely recommend if you are in Barnard Castle for the evening.
