The Prince of Bengal is a very decent curry house but it needs to decide if it wants to be a restaurant or a take-away / delivery place. The food was good but the service was so slow. I would have been served much quicker if I'd come in for a take away. Not good enough on this occasion

I like my local indian restaurants but POB is always my favourite. Has great lightly spiced curries and glad they always serve my ale not from a fridge. Always go back.

The Prince of Bengal is amongst the best curry houses in the Watford area. It offers a more interesting and varied menu than most and the place is always very busy. Service occasionally can be slow but on this visit it was fine

The Prince of Bengal is a very popular restaurant and for it to stay like this it will need to improve on the standard of this visit. Service was very slow and the food, off a very good menu, was on the bland side. Jalfrezi with next to no chilli flavour anyone?

The Prince of Bengal is a very, very popular venue. I went there on a Wednesday expecting the place to be quiet but it was packed, the reason being that it was 'banquet night' which comes with a reduced price offer. The food, as ever, was very good but the service was slow on this occasion. This was more than compensated for by the excellent value of the meal

Excellent food, as ever, at the Price of Bengal. However, the waiter was clearly new and to say he has things to learn is an under-statement. Bumbling...

Prince of Bengalin Watford impressed yet again. Dinner for 6 at just over £60. Service was impressive and did not hurry us on despite having to turn diners away as they were full. We had a range of curries from medium/hot to light which were all very good. Best curryhouse I have been to in Watford. Only shame was the ale was kept in a fridge.

The Prince of Bengal in Watford is a bettter than average curry house. There is a range of choice on the menu that is not typical. The food is generally good and this is borne out in how busy it tends to be.
