Consider stopping over at Bengal Tiger after a tiring day at work for a tasty meal of Indian cuisine and good wine. Situated in Carter Lane and spread over two floors, the restaurant focuses on providing dishes created using quality ingredients sourced from around the world.

Accepting the fact that an extensive menu can confuse a newcomer, the staff offer advice on what's best. An express lunch menu includes tandoori wings, chicken tikka and a selection of mains for people on the go.

Dinnertime choices take in tandoori king prawns, salmon or lamb tikka and sheek kebab before moving on to mains of a hearty mixed grill; marinated breast of duck, specials of Sikandari raan, slow pot roasted lamb shank; duck in a special sauce with mangoes, or old favourites of karahi, rogan josh, dupiaza, bhuna, dhansak and Madras. A range of vegetarian dishes is available at all times.

All dishes are served with green salad and cooling mint yoghurt dip, and there are wines, beer and spirits to make your meal complete.
