We found the whole experience very strange and underwhelming. Let me start with the positives the food arrived piping hot and was properly home made. We have visited many Nepalese restaurants over the years, and have always loved their food, warm, friendly service, and the great pride they usually take in their culinary heritage. However this was not the case here. My initial brush with the “service” was when I used the online “Book a Table” form on their website. When I hadn’t received any confirmation two days later, we rang the restaurant, assuming they had not received my request. Turned out they had just hadn’t bothered replying. Anyway we arrived with high hopes. We wanted to try the s...
After hearing so many positive comments about this pub/restaurant we simply had to give it a try. Looking at their menu it appears to be classic Indian with some Chinese thrown in? Having never sampled Nepalese food before we assume this is where it sits? The pub is cosy and typically country with beams in the roof. Everything is very clean with the unmistakable aroma of Indian spices wafting around the pub. Biggest surprise was Tribute Cornish Pale Ale on tap very nice! We were very impressed to receive complimentary papadoms and chutneys which made a lovely start to our meal. We had the mixed sizzling starter to share which was tasty with the spicy chicken, lamb, prawns, etc sitting on a b...
After enjoying a meal at a Nepalese restaurant in another part of the UK, I was thrilled to discover the Blue Bell near my new home. I made a simple reservation online for a Saturday evening, and upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly hosts and offered a great selection of traditional beers, IPA lagers, and Cornish cider. The evening continued to impress as we tried the highly recommended onion Bhaji, which did not disappoint. My daughter enjoyed the Mo Mo as well. For our main dishes, I opted for the butter chicken while my daughter tried the mixed grill starter for two (a dish I always order in Hampton). The service was excellent, with a 10/10 rating, and the food was equally outstandin...
Last minute decision to have a takeaway on NY eve. What a great choice. Practically on the doorstep. Website clear and informative. Small but varied menu which we prefer. Chose to go in person to order and made welcome straight away. Had a drink whilst waiting and food was prepared in a timely manner. Staff very attentive and cheery. Food still hot when we got home. Poppadums fresh and crisp with 3 pots of dips. Chicken Akabare really tasty and hot as requested. Chicken tikka masala was mmmmm just divine, not too sweet and certainly not oily. Plenty of good sized tender meat in both. Rice well cooked. Garlic naans flavoursome and beautifully cooked. All in all a winner in our books. Would li...

We went to the restaurant on a chilly Saturday night. The venue wasn't very warm, so many of us kept our jackets on. It was busy and this affected the service, causing us to wait for our main course for 1.5 hours. We noticed that some diners who arrived later received quicker service. The food was good, but the overall cost was higher than anticipated.
Sadly not for us. Starters were ok but the main course was watery, lacking any depth of flavour, just chilli hot. Staff were ambivalent and a bit rude. It was not a good experience and food was mediocre. Never again sadly!
Very tasty food, good value and good service. We received complementary popadoms with relishes, which was a nice surprise. Starters were especially good, onion bhajis and momo (i think that is what it was called).
We had a fantastic experience at Bluebell Farm on a weeknight for their carvery, with excellent service, especially from Charlotte. We will definitely be returning soon!

Wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this was not only one of the finest Curries I've had,but also one of the finest meals I've ever had. Class!
We had a beautiful meal of Nepalese dishes and the staff even gave us a free side dish to taste. Friendly and efficient service. Will be back!
