About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Butlers Wharf has long been a London dining destination, and Bengal Clipper has become a Shad Thames institution since it opened its doors over ten years ago. Bangal Clipper's great location combined with its renowned cuisine and gracious service has kept this classic restaurant going strong, and it is a hit with both local curry-connoisseurs and discerning tourists. Located near the design museum and Tower Bridge, this is a fantastic meeting point for group get-togethers and the dining room has a super-friendly vibe and is decorated with artworks by Christopher Corr. Star dishes at Bengal Clipper include the Murg Mango curry made with chicken, mangoes, cashew nuts and cream, and the spicy Goan crab and coconut curry.

    We had been told this was a good restaurant, it is in a good location, nice decor and plenty of tables available on a Saturday night surprisingly. We had a very nice lamb and cashew starter, but the chutneys were very bland and we were charged for them which is new to me. All the other dishes were very average, lamb rogan josh more tomato than lamb and a sweet bland sauce, no salad with the tandoori which was very dry. It is a shame as the staff were lovely and service very good. Hope this was just an off day, but for now our hunt for the best Indian restaurant south of the river carries on!

    The food was good, very tasty, and reasonably priced. We went on a Sunday, early evening and the restaurant was very quiet, which was good for us as they were able to accommodate our large party at short notice. The location doesn’t boast a view but the restaurant itself is nice. Overall, very glad we found it and would go again.

    Overall the food was nice, but for £61 for only 2 people I though was rather pricey for an Indian. Again, food was nice so not knocking it. Yes I'd recommend for special occasions but not for regular sit down Indian meals.

    A large open plan restaurant with plenty of space. The food was very nice and the service was efficient. Not your usual expensive London Restaurant; prices were good and tips were at the discretion of the customer.

    So, i had booked the restaurant for 9 of my colleagues and I to have a nice meal after we had been go karting. On first impression we were greeted very well and shown to our table. The starters that we ordered arrived and went down very well. My boss, who was over from Australia then decided to order his main meal first as he was very tiered and was suffering from jet lag and wanted to go back to his hotel. So, his food arrived and then he left for the evening. The remainder of us proceeded to order our main dishes - which arrived but my bosses meal also arrived again.... We ordered a selection of different dishes but in all fairness we all said that we had a better Indian elsewhere. So, onto the bill... When we arrived we ordered a round of cobras then two of the guys had a bottle of wine. We then ordered another round of drinks after (6) and then another 4 We asked for the bill and it had 60 cobras listed as the first line item, which was acknowledged as an accident and was removed, only to be then replaced with 23....i also challenged this and this argument of the number of drinks consumed went on for about 10 minutes... The remaining items also listed seemed to just have the incorrect prices against them. I just couldn't be bothered to argue anymore and frankly i just wanted to leave... Perhaps we just had a bad experience i'm not to sure, but if you do go, please keep an eye on what you ordered and perhaps take a screenhsot of the menu so you can cross reference the prices with the bill at the end.

    Food was good as ever and the staff were absolutely brilliant with kids. We went quite early - 6:30 so it was rather quiet but otherwise all good.
