Overall Experience
The overall experience at Ignite Indian and Bengali Restaurant is mixed, with customers having varying opinions on the food, service, and atmosphere.
Food Quality
Some customers, such as Rachel Hale and Neil Melling, have praised the restaurant for serving delicious and authentic curries. However, others, like Debalina Gupta, have expressed disappointment with the undercooked and tomato-based curries that lack the expected aroma and flavor of traditional Indian or Bengali cuisine. Additionally, Elvira Kovacs mentioned that the cheese naan was not cheesy at all and the food was overpriced and not tasty.
Service
The staff at Ignite has received mostly positive feedback for their friendly and welcoming service. Customers like Lou Platten, Edzell Folk, and Claira Wilson have praised the staff for their excellent service and warm atmosphere. However, Shayan Bari had a negative experience when they were not allowed to enter with their two-year-old daughter due to lack of seating and space for her buggy.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere at Ignite has been described as cozy and welcoming by many customers, including Lou Platten and Claira Wilson. However, Elvira Kovacs mentioned that the next table was extremely loud, making it difficult to enjoy the drinks.
Recommendations
Despite the mixed feedback, several customers have recommended Ignite for its authentic and delicious food, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere. However, it is clear that some areas, such as food quality and kid-friendliness, require improvement.
