Bengal Buffet

When walked in we were greeted and told to sit where ever we wanted. Im assuming that the gentleman who greeted us was the owner he was very nice and the woman there was also very nice. We told them that this was only the 2^nd time my husband and I have had Indian food and my 2 little ones never had. The dinning area was quit large and nothing fancy but it was clean. We went to the buffet area and ask about the heat level of every dish as not give my babies anything they could not handle. And I have to say I tried every dish they had up there but my favorite was the curry beef it was delicious my kids also loved it. The Tandory chicken was awsome too. We also love the desert the sheeded carrot pudding. This place had delicious food and we will defiantly go back. Not very eye catching from out side but the food definitely shined.

No-​frills place in a strip mall. Surprisingly large inside, considering it looks small from outside.
No serving of food to your table… at all. Everything is self-​serve. You walk in, pick a table, grab a plate and pay when you’re done. And I have to say… it is fantastic!
Everything on the buffet is incredible. The spices are amazing and I wanted to keep eating long after my brain and stomach said, «no more».
I have not been to another Indian/​Pakistani/​Bangladeshi place in the Denver area that had better tasting food.
You must try this place. End of story.

How often do you go to a buffet and like every item! The biriyani is the closest to original Bangladeshi biriyani I have tasted in US so far. The pakora was also awesome. Moreover the service was also very cordial.

LOL. Came here with a friend, empty, with no one to greet us or serve us anywhere. We looked at the food which was greasy and non appealing but at least were full portions. Decided to give it a shot anyway but Soda machines did not work. The owner was I believe in the back outside and we called out for him to turn on the soda machines and to be of at the least assistance but no answer! The place was a ghost town! We filled our plates and sat down escorting our own selves. We noticed all the table cloths were completely dirty and was not acceptable to dine at I am surprised this food eatablishment is still open. SO WE LEFT… for sushi.

This is the worst Indian food which I had in recent past years. Chicken Briyani was spoiled and bad smell was coming from the food. No hot food. Worst worst worst !!! No maintenance and mutton not boiled properly

It was a cold rainy day, and we were both craving hot Indian food. Not just temperature hot. Indian hot. We were hungry enough that only a buffet would do, but where to find a dinner buffet that actually packs some heat? Thanks to Unilocal we found this place. Unlike the majority of the one star reviews, we were greeted and seated upon walking in the door, although it’s not necessary to sit first. Just grab a plate and start spooning stuff on your plate!
There were about 10 entrée choices, including goat biryani that was delicious, two kinds of rice, various sauces (raita, chimichurri, tamarind, etc), warm naan, a salad bar (skipped that), and soda machine. Everything had a kick to it. The heat, although not as lucky as I prefer, was pretty hot for a buffet. At 10.99 per person, including drink, it is a great deal.
The curb appeal of this place is pretty terrible, and the inside wasn’t much better. Tables were cleared of dishes, but several were dirty. That doesn’t matter so much to me since the food was great!

First of all this place has great food! The goat was my favorite and I usually don’t like goat.
Second if you’re the type of person who needs service to feel good, this is not your place! We were greeted when we walked in by two freindly workers. We found a place to sit and then proceeded to gorge ourselves with all the yummy food! You get your own drinks and the staff hardly has any interaction with you, I appreciate being left alone in a buffet style restaurant.
I will be going back for sure!

I have a love/​hate relationship with this place. Why ?
I love supporting a small business and in particular, owned by immigrants. In this case and based on the name, I’ll assume they’re from Bangladesh.
The downside of this place is the inconsistency of the buffet. They make Mutton Biryani which is not easy to find in Denver. I love this dish but it’s hit or miss with the quality. Specifically, the tenderness of the meat. The Mutton is either soft and tender or it’s overcooked and non edible. The rest of the buffet is just meh so I come for only that 1 item.
Don’t expect much else from the inside as it’s somewhat dark and ambiance is not a priority. But I don;t care about that, I just want consistency with the Mutton.
PLEASE

This restaurant is now under new management since the 1^st of March 2015. I have eaten here around 3 times since then and ordered take out twice. The food is pretty much the same as before since the cook has not changed.
They have a new menu for takeout and have added some Nepali dishes to the menu (since the new owners are Nepali). The new owners are trying to improve the service quality.
They now have free WiFi.
I have been happy with the improvements and specially love their Onion Pakoras. The pakoras are the best I have ever eaten in my life.

Perhaps it’s a different story if you’re ordering off the menu, but the buffet experience here is nothing short of horrendous.
At lunchtime on a Tuesday half the restaurant was dark /​shuttered looking… Which should’ve told me all I needed to know. I was not greeted as I entered and had to get the server’s attention to find out if it was self-​seating, etc.
Every tablecloth I saw had stains on it, and the buffet itself seemed like it had been put as an afterthought. Everything was poorly organized, unappetizing looking and lukewarm.
But, I was there and I was hungry, so I decided to make the best of it and use the time waiting to see if the server would EVER take my drink order (she did NOT), hoping to eat enough to at least get my $ 10.99 worth (the food sucked by the way, I’ve had more delicious & satisfying meals at the mall food court)… but then my tongue felt that unsettling feeling of a hair (no, it was not mine… mine was tied up) in the middle of a mouthful of rice… and I was DONE.
So let’s recap, shall we? Ambience: nope. Service: sucked. Food: crap. Cleanliness: NOT.
Recommend steering VERY clear of this place.

The Boy and I ordered catering for our anniversary party. Whatever the buffet lacks in customer service, let me tell you, they make up for it with the service they provided us with our catering! Everyone was super friendly, the order was exactly what we wanted and fresh, made right on time for pick up. It was snowing outside when we picked up the order and they brought the food out to the car and made sure it was placed securely. We got tons of positive feedback from our friends and family about the food. We had enough food for about 40 people for just over $ 100. Love these guys!

Response from the owner to my last comment.
«I’m pretty your not a chef so when you become one then tell me and I’m pretty sure you never worked in a Dubai restaurant or got a college degree ever»
Goes to show that he has no clue what he is talking about. What has a filthy place with unhygienic food got to do with a Dubai restaurant or a college degree???
And just to set the record straight, one does not need be a chef to appreciate good quality food and a clean environment. If you want good quality authentic Indian food, go to Monsoon in Southlands mall, Aurora or Azitra in Broomfield. You won’t regret it.

This place is so good! The outside doesn’t look like much, but as far as I’m concerned, that’s the number one way to tell that the food is going to be amazing. The buffet here is small, but has enough options for a great lunch. $ 11 for all you can eat and everything is so spicy and delicious. The naan is freshly made, with just the right amount of flakiness, with a thin layer of butter. They have vegetarian and meat dishes and some sweet desserts.

When I first walked in my expectations were low. But this is seriously some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Spicy, delicious, run by a family. Will 100% be back soon.

We went to a Sunday night buffet and there were not many options but good spread.
There were two biryanis both muttun and chicken and both tasted super delicious. Just loved them.

Casper, the friendly ghost, must live here because the place is deserted. There is no service whatsoever. You walk in and the place huge but empty. There is no one to greet you and there is some combination of food at the buffet table. I stood there uncertain for a couple minutes and went over the the buffet. The food was okay, but there wasn’t enough of a selection for lunch. I went on a Wednesday afternoon around 11:45 p.m. This is when the food at a lunch buffet is supposed to look fresh and taste great. The food looked reheated. The price of the buffet was around $ 11.50, which wouldn’t be bad if there were more than 6 items served.

Great, spicy Indian buffet for a good price, non-​existent service. This place is tucked away in a strip mall near my job, and I walked over today for the buffet. Walking in, there is no greeter. You just pick a table, get your food and drink; you’ll only interact with someone at the register when you pay. That said, like the other reviews, the flavor of the food was awesome. Best saag paneer I’ve ever had, awesome samosas, and spicy, delicious aloo gobi. I could have stayed vegetarian the whole meal, but I did have chicken masala and biryani, both were good. Also loved that this place had mango chutney on the buffet. Most Indian buffets do not. No ambiance or service, but quick yummy Indian buffet.

Bengal buffet is as good as desi food can get in Denver.
Okay there are a lot of people complaining about service. Here’s what you have to understand. This is a buffet! And you’re not coming for the service, you’re coming for the food.
When you walk in, don’t expect to be greeted. Expect to grab a plate and fill it to the brim. The place has the same owner as Haat Bazaar next door. The location is shanty though so be warned.
I am very particular when it comes to meat quality – I can tell if chicken is baasi (not fresh). Bengal Buffet seems to use fresh meat that doesn’t have any bad flavor.
The dishes are authentic. Meaning it isn’t watered down to the point it’s bland. If you want real Bengali/​Pakistani/​Indian food, this is the place to come to in Denver. They don’t cheap out either. They put bellpeppers and cilantro in their tandoori chicken.

When Mirage Restaurant moved across town a while back, did you wonder what could possibly fill its former space at Parker and Yale? Well, the proprietors of Haat Bazar a few doors down [see previous review] had some ideas of their own, and with a little help from their friends, have now converted it into an all-​you-​can-​eat, all-​the-​time eatery serving foods from their native Bangladesh!
The owners of Bengal Buffet are Muslim, and thus all meats (and other foods) on the premises are prepared and cooked according to strict Halal specifications. The sauce surrounding the chicken pieces in the curry dish often called Murgir Jhol is rich with chopped onions, garlic and ginger, while Kosha Mangsho [sometimes labelled simply «Mutton Qorma”] features large chunks of goat marinated in yogurt with turmeric and red pepper (among other seasonings) before being stewed for hours (still on the bone, for maximum flavor). At this juncture I should probably point out that when eating food from South Asia in general, the term «mutton» nearly always refers in fact to goat rather than to sheep, which are usually just included in the «lamb» category.
Between 1947 and 1971, Bangladesh was part of Pakistan, despite the two countries sitting on opposite sides of India. Therefore, certain dishes often thought of as quintessentially Pakistani can be found at Bengal Buffet as well. One example would be the intensely juicy chicken kebabs which will almost invariably be offered during your dinner there. Another must-​try item in this category is Biryani, in which basmati rice is first steamed with whole cinnamon, cloves and cardamom, *then* mixed with seared meat before the whole shebang is slow-​cooked for a memorable mix of flavors.
Meat, meat, meat. It’s all I’ve talked about so far isn’t it? Well, don’t worry, you can find a few veggie options here too. The Palak Paneer is a zesty, earthy wonder, combining my favorite cubes of squishy cheese with the very Bangla veggie Sarson ka Saag (mustard greens). But there’s also a very nice version of Dhal (stewed lentils or split peas) for you legume lovers. And on my last visit I was treated to a delicious (if rather spicy) combo of zucchini and potato as well.
I guess my point is that you’re bound to find something you like at the steam table at Bengal Buffet. And I haven’t even mentioned the desserts, like Payesh (vermicelli in sweetened condensed milk), or Gulab Jamun (balls of fried dough in sugar syrup). So head over and stuff yourself silly, won’t you?

Relatively new place, across from HMart. (diagonal across the intersection at parker)
The native crew at work wanted to come here, so i figured, hey it must be good.
Not a ton of choices, but seriously the amount of fat, cream, and calories in indian food, i don’t need a ton of choices.
What was there was great — a chicken and rice dish, a lamb and rice dish, saag panner, a chicken meatball dish (i’m sure that would not be what the real name is), a chick pea dish, the red chicken (as i call it), excellent bread, a salad bar and soda is included.
The service is definitely friendly but a little lacking as far as clearing the dirty plates.
The restaurant itself feels a bit too big, not cozy, but like sitting in a church hall — big and empty.
Another neat thing, is you can also just come in and buy food by the pound!
Lunch was $ 11 — not super cheap but definitely dishes i have not seen elsewhere and i left with a very full belly.
they also play movies in the back on the big screen.
I hope they continue to improve and stay around for a while!
And you can just go pay on your way out, i’m not sure if they would every bring a check, but this worked for our group of 7!
