Taste of Bengal

Taste of Bengal occupies one of the small Balby Road shop units in the long takeaway run between Hexthorpe and the Balby estates, in the inner-south suburb that historically housed Doncaster's railway workers and miners. The kitchen runs a Bengali and North-Indian menu — tandoori dishes, the standard curry repertoire from korma through to vindaloo and phall, biryanis, naan and rice sides — broadly matching the format of the small Doncaster suburban Indian takeaway. Trading sits inside a stretch of Balby Road that has historically clustered Indian and Chinese takeaway formats together with the local pizza-and-kebab operators, giving the suburb a notably broad evening-takeaway choice. Reviewers should note the brand is a common one across the UK; customers in the Balby area are advised to verify current ownership and the live ordering site before placing first orders, as Balby Road has seen a high rate of small-takeaway turnover in the past few years. Collection from the Balby Road frontage is straightforward at the on-street loading bays, and the suburb's bus route runs the half-mile from central Doncaster past the shop into the upper Balby estates.
