Bengal Lancer

Bengal Lancer at 253 Kentish Town Road in NW5 is a long-established Indian restaurant that Hardens has praised for over 30 years. Named for the Bengal Lancers of the British Indian Army — a celebrated cavalry regiment recruited in Bengal, famous for their role in conflicts from the Northwest Frontier to the Western Front — Bengal Lancer is a Kentish Town institution that has outlasted dozens of restaurant trends while staying true to quality Indian cooking. Hardens consistently commends its quality and consistency. Kentish Town NW5 is a lively, music-associated neighbourhood with the Forum concert venue and a strong independent restaurant culture on Kentish Town Road.
