Royal Bengal is celebrating its 35th year since opening its doors at Bridge Street in Northampton, making it the town's longest established Indian restaurant. The Royal Bengal has stood the test of time by catering for customers and their families over three decades. In a fiercely competitive market, the family-run restaurant has adapted to 35 years of changes, yet is always welcoming new customers to try its traditional Indian food.

The Royal Bengal was started by Abdul Rohim in1975 at 38 Bridge Street. His son, Mohammed Ahmin, who now runs the business with him, said "At number 38 there were only about 40 seats and a counter. We just outgrew the premises. So in 1983 we moved across the road and have been there ever since. It is twice as big with 100 seats and a bar where 30 people can have a drink before their meal, or a coffee afterwards"

Mr. Rohim is still the chef at The Royal Bengal where he has built up a reputation across the county for creating genuine, fresh and traditional Indian food. Over the years, the family has expanded its catering talent and are co-owners of the four pillars restaurant, which has branches in Olney and Fosters Booth, as well as a restaurant in Coventry.

The secret of The Royal Bengal's success? Mr. Ahmin said; "In Northamptonshire, our strategy has been to move forward with the times, while at the same time keeping to what we know. At the Royal Bengal we have a traditional menu and surroundings and that has worked successfully for 35 years"
