Bangla Pride Oakengates In Telford And Wrek

On the evening of the 26th November 2023, I, along with two friends, embarked on a culinary journey at Bangla Pride in Oakengates, Telford. This establishment is renowned for its authentic Bangladeshi and Indian cuisine, offering a spectrum of flavours through its expansive and unique menu. Our visit, which began around 9:30 pm, was marked by the restaurant’s commitment to exceptional service and its dedication to delivering quality dishes. Our meal commenced with an array of appetisers, including a tube of refreshing Mint Sauce, a crisp Onion Salad, a tub of Mango Chutney, a robust Red sauce, and four light Plain Poppadom’s. Each appetiser set the stage for the main courses with their vibrant flavours and textures. For the main course, we indulged in a fiery Hot King Prawn Tawa, expertly prepared Madras Hot and without coriander, alongside two servings of Lamb Tawa, seasoned to a perfect Medium Hot and also without coriander. Accompanying these was a flavourful Tarka Dall, a comforting serving of Boiled Rice, a plain Haan, and a fragrant Garlic Naan, each dish complementing the other and creating a harmonious blend of tastes. To accompany our meal, we chose a large Water and two Cream Coffees, known as Floater Coffee, which provided a soothing finish to our dining experience. Notably, the staff at Bangla Pride were the epitome of warmth and hospitality. Their attentive and welcoming nature ensured that our dining experience felt like a home away from home. Each dish was prepared exactly as requested, showcasing the kitchen’s attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. As we concluded our meal, we made sure to express our heartfelt gratitude to the waiters and kitchen staff. Their efforts in creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere made our evening not just a meal but an unforgettable experience, one that we will cherish for a long time. In summary, our visit to Bangla Pride was a delightful exploration of Bangladeshi and Indian cuisine, made memorable by the restaurant’s dedication to flavour, quality, and customer care.

Friendly staff in this small restaurant which you can bring your own drinks as they have no licence. We found the Nan breads very good but mains a bit average but not bad excellent coffee to finnish and reasonably priced.

I travel to Telford once or twice a year for work and I try to come here because I can eat like a king while staying within my expenses budget. The food is top notch and service is fast. One thing I have noticed is that it seems busier now than in previous years. That's a good thing, but I would definitely recommend booking for groups of 4 or more people.

Absolutely brilliant evening, family of 17 had a brilliant evening. Fantastic food, very friendly staff. Always treated very well. Amazing 5*
