"If you like food from the Indian subcontinent, this is absolutely a restaurant you should visit Came on a very quiet sunday night with 3 friends and had a very good meal. We started off by sharing a portion of deliciously crispy kurkuri bhindi spicy okra chips) and two portions of samosa chaat Punjabi samosa with chutneys, yogurt, chickpea curry). We continued to mains sharing a very nice masala dosa rolled up fried bread filled with spicy potato with a side of dips), an English curry house special mixed veggies in tikka masala sauce, Bombay style potatoes chickpea curry and naan bread) and a Thali curry vegetable kofta with a creamy dhal, raita dip, samosas, Thali vegetable kofta with dhal makani raita samosa, pilau rice and a fluffly laccha parantha). Everything was incredibly tasty and well presented, portions were good size abd the amount of bread for each main was enough for all of us to share. It's difficult to say what the best dish was, the dosa was excellent but the Thali curry was very good too. It was my first time trying okra chips so also particularly enjoyed that! The only thing that let me down was dessert I asked for a Rosepetal, walnut and pistachio gulab jamun icecream), but what I got served looked more like cheap strawberry, chocolate and vanilla icecream, can't really tell if it was just bad icecream or they didn't actually served the right flavours. In any case, it was underwhelming and would not recommend it. Service was corteous, a bit relaxed but we were in no rush. The waiter was kind and offered us a glass of Port wine on the house at the end of the evening. We had 660 ml bottled beers to drink and spent about £120 in total £30 per person). I would definitely recommend this place for the quality of the food. The bathroom was also clean and tidy when I visited, which is always a plus. The restaurant entrance is in a small alley and a bit disguised by a columnade which only adds to the feeling this a hidden gem in the heart of Bank!"

Great place for a dinner with your family or a meeting. We had a party for 20 people and it was just perfect. The food was extremely delicious and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Thank you for making it very special for us.

Tasty South Indian cuisine. Very tasty. The quantity they serve is less for the money. Any starter dish we order, they serve only three pieces. They shall consider this. When you feel satisfied about the food, the bill would have been above £300 per person in an average.

It was a wonderful day for our son who saw the Christmas lights in the West End. His highlight was the dinner we booked at the Bangaloe Express. He enjoys his drink and he loves his lambs, chicken and fish. The whole experience for the family was great and the meal was just from this world, also for our vegetarians. The food tasted so beautiful and the portions were more than enough for four. We had no place for the desert, but our master chef suggested we have a taste and give us something to share. Definitely a day to remember. We can try to go back before Christmas if we have the chance.

Great food in a central location! Would definitely recommend Bangalore Express for its fast service, interesting food and good atmosphere. We had a prawn curry dhosa (the packaging below) and a fish curry thali. Both were delicious and different from a “traditional” British Indian curry house, something new, but definitely worth trying! Prices were decent, but not bad at all, given the central London location and size of the dishes. The service was also good, with the waiter an overview of the available Dhosas. The restaurant is located opposite the market Leadenhall, so would recommend taking the tube of Bank or Monument or C2C from Fenchurch Street.

Don’t be fooled by the small entrance in an alleyway. Once you enter that door, you realize that this place has quite big with 2 floors of seating. We came here looking for ‘dum biryani’ and ended up trying a couple of different things in addition. First the dum biryani totally lived up to our expectations. It was truly a dum biryani with a pot sealed for ‘dum’. Very flavorful, served with raita. And then we also tried a prawns thali, which was on the expensive side. But you do get a lot for that price. It came with a big bowl of yummy prawns curry, and not so small portions of black dal and another veg curry. Accompaniments were rice, naan, raita, poppudum and a yummy corn side (salad?? . I...
