Bay of Bengal

Tucked into the heart of seaside Donaghadee, just a short walk from the harbour and the Copeland-facing seafront, Bay of Bengal has become one of the town's go-to spots for a proper Indian feed. It pulls a loyal crowd of locals and weekend visitors, and the warm, helpful welcome comes up again and again in feedback. The kitchen leans on fresh, fragrant cooking at fair value, earning a solid 4.4/5 from around 62 Google reviews.

The menu covers all the comforting classics alongside a handful of quieter regional plates, with an unusually generous spread of choices for vegetarians. A rich, aromatic Chicken Biryani is a dependable favourite, and there is plenty for those who like a bit of heat as well as gentler, creamier curries. Whether you fancy dining in among the buzz or carrying a takeaway back to the waterfront, it is an easy, friendly option in this corner of County Down. Booking ahead is worth it on busier evenings.
