Bengal Spice Andersonstown is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant at 146 Andersonstown Road in west Belfast. It serves evening meals in a relaxed setting and also handles collection and delivery, so the menu is designed to work for both a table in the restaurant and food shared at home.
Tandoori dishes use meat or seafood marinated with yoghurt, aromatic herbs and spices before cooking in a traditional clay oven. Chicken tikka, lamb tikka, shashlik, king prawns and a mixed grill provide charred, savoury choices that can be paired with rice, naan and a curry sauce.
The classic curry section moves from mild korma, masala and bhuna through jalfrezi, madras, vindaloo and phaal for diners who prefer more heat. Rogan josh, saag, pathia and dansak bring different combinations of spice, spinach, lentils and sweet or tangy notes, while balti dishes add peppers, onions, green chilli and coriander.
Biryani is available with chicken, lamb, king prawns or vegetables, and set meals bring several curries, rice, naan and a side together for groups. Paneer, lentils, chickpeas, spinach, potatoes and cauliflower appear across the vegetarian selection, making it possible to build a varied meat free meal rather than relying on one main dish.
