Le Bengale

Yummy and delicious food. Would love to have more servings but other than that, the service was great. Thank you.

First time to this restaurant but not my last. Beautiful decor, ambiance, and set up (can look into kitchen). We went for the “Immersive Experience”with wine accompaniment, and they catered to my friend who is a vegetarian. The food was amazing and the portions just right! Each dish was served with its own special plate. Drinks were also delicious and very decorative. So why only 4 stars? In such a fine restaurant, having utensils wrapped in the (very nice) linen for us to place is not a high standard! Second, asking us to keep our utensils after each dish is also not up to the standard of theirs kind of restaurant. The dishes all had different flavours and spices…please give us new utensils with each course. You did with the wine. Do same with food. Lastly, not to tell anyone how to dress, but one of our servers was wearing a tank top and very short cut-off jeans. I’m sorry but absolutely not appropriate for the setting and ambiance of such a restaurant. Again, I will definitely come back as my overall experience and the food was fantastic.

The food was amazing, authentic to Indian culture. Homemade naan bread is provided, and all you can eat throughout the evening. It was delicious! The portions of each service were perfects sizes. Not too little, not too much. Enough to feel satisfied and savor all of the flavors. However be prepared to stay at the restaurant for approximately 3.5-4 hours. This is how long the service is. It's something we were not expecting, but I wanted to point this out so that future clients may better prepare their evening outings. We arrived for the 6PM service and left at nearly 10PM. You cannot make any other plans for the night. As well, the restaurant does not offer vegan options. They may provide vegetarian options upon request however this must be stated when making the reservation. My friend is vegetarian and the restaurant offered him some delicious alternative services which he thoroughly enjoyed. The table beside us had 4 clients who were all vegan. They appeared excited to be there however once the waitress explained that the restaurant does not offer vegan options they unfortunately had no choice but to leave. We enjoyed our experience, it's a "you have to try once" kind of restaurant. The opening of this restaurant was much needed to diversify the food options in Saguenay and offer insight to a different culture. Thank you!

We stumbled upon Le Bengale on Google during our recent visit to Saguenay. Their website says it provides “immersive experience” of fine Indian cuisine, however there is no menu on the website. In any case, we thought we give it a try. Upon arrival, we realized that Le Bengale doesn’t operate like a typical restaurant, rather offers blind menu service in two batches, one at 6pm and another at 8pm. All customers get the same three course meal with dessert. My wife is a vegetarian, so they suggested both of us will be offered vegetarian dishes. Our meal included naan bread with three types of accompaniments, paneer in coconut milk and vegetables, and vegetable biriyani. There were three different types of sweets for dessert including traditional barfi. The food taste was great and portions just right. The taste is totally different from the blended commercialized cuisine that you find in typical Indian restaurants. We grew up in Bangladesh which share the same cuisine as in Bengal, India. We appreciate the owner’s love for Bengal which is reflected in their menu and the décor; there is even a quotation from the Nobel laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore in the staircase. Presentation and service were excellent. Overall, it was a memorable evening.

Absolutely delicious gourmet Indian food served in reasonable size servings(not your Américain oversize)

Meilleure expérience culinaire de Chicoutimi ! L’ensemble du personnel a été au petit soins avec nous. Nous avons eu la chance d’être servi par Roxanne qui a su nous conseiller et nous guider à travers cette expérience. Maxence nous a directement mis à l’aise et a su nous touchés avec ses petites attentions ! Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour cette merveilleuse soirée, nous somme ressorti de chez vous le ventre bien rempli et avec le sourire ! On reviendra à coup sûr

Nous sommes allés pour l'expérience découverte et tout était impeccable! Le service, les alcools, les plats, l'ambiance! Le pain naan a volonté, simplement wow! Énorme coup de coeur pour ce restaurant! Vaut définitivement le détour!

Très bon mais aussi très cher pour ce que c’est, c’est pourquoi je donne 4 étoiles. Excellents cocktails. Les portions sont goûteuses mais peu généreuses. Ça vaut la peine de l’essayer. À noter que les “samosas” étaient des triangles de pâte phyllo.
