Prompt service. They also have some of the best cream of crab soup this native Baltimore girl has ever had. I also really like the chicken tikka masala and the garlic naan. Highly recommend!!!

Ordered the butter chicken(absolutely delicious), but for $ 13, thought the amount of chicken given was lacking compared to other places. Lots of decadent sauce and rice, little meat. The Mango Lassi is a must! Strong, tangy mango flavor, and not too sweet.

After being on the road for hours and eating at diners where they serve food out of a can and frozen reheated dishes, this was such a delight! Real food! So maybe that’s why I’m giving it 5 stars… but even as far as Indian places go, this was great. Wonderful service as well.

This place is really nice to have in town, good food varieties at fair prices, give it a try seems to be going downhill to be honest had a steak and cheese the other day, not real good, French fries are just plain terrible, but the fish tacos are really good

Clean place. Great staff and best of all awesome food. Pizza for the kids. Good pizza for MD. Amazing Indian for the adults. We have had everything on the Indian menu and it is right up there with Royal Taj which is the only other Indian food I will eat in MD(bad experiences, don’t ask). Full bar, tv’s and usually empty as their delivery business is very busy. Highly recommended for Laurel area.

First of all, don’t be scared of the Italian/Indian menu. They seem to do very well at both here. But that’s not why you should go. You should go because they are willing to mix and match at your pleasure. We had Palak Ravioli(which we thought was original till I saw an earlier Unilocaler mention it in a review). We had Chicken Korma Gnocchi(2 mods — they changed lamb to chicken and put it over gnocchi for us). And the best of all was the butter chicken pizza — that was the restaurant’s idea. Seriously, I’m not sure I’ve ever had a more interesting pizza! A little spicy, cheesy and delicious. So make the best of the secret/not so secret menu and ask. Try Inditalian at Bella :)

Best korma I’ve ever had! Plus, butter chicken pizza, which was fantastic and delicious. Indian Italian fusion is meant to be. The service is wonderful – they are flexible in letting you make up new things. I’m so full… my brain can’t work to write more. Thank you, Bella!

I have ordered from here before and their Indian food is amazing so I decided I would try the Italian side to there menu. I got a Salmon Caesar salad… Well the lettuce was good. The salmon was over cooked and way too salty and the dressing tasted like sour yogurt with Splenda. The description says«homemade croutons» … It tasted like they came out of a box. I have learned my lesson… Only get Indian food from there from now on. Really though… How do you mess up a salad?

Excellent place for dinner. They are Italian and Indian dishes which are awesome! Highly recommend if you are in laurel area or surrounding areas.

In the UK we are pretty lucky to have authentic Indian and authentic Italian places to eat so I was VERY suspicious of going here with my friend on my trip to the USA. We had discovered the Silver Diner had closed after 25 years about 10 minutes before coming here so I was just about ready to cry my way through this menu. I settled on a Cheese Pizza and was pleased to see it pretty well made. I tried my friends veggie curry and discovered that was pretty pleasant too. We were the only people in the entire venue apart from one lady getting a pizza to carry out. The furniture feels like a mixture of canteen and restaurant and could probably do with some updating. But it just adds to the charm of the place. I ate ¾ of my pizza and had the rest later that night! I’d go back if we were looking for somewhere quiet to eat out.

My fiancé, who is Indian, and I get Bella at least once a week and are very satisfied by their food. Some of their greatest features are authenticity, large portions, affordable prices, fast delivery, and overall quality of food.

Pretty awful for Indian food. I really should have known better. The Lamb Korma was barely a full serving of meat for one person, and swimming in sauce. Completely lacking in flavour or spice. And the meat was extra chewy. A complete fail. The calamari was fine, pretty middle of the road. Fries that came with the cheesesteak sandwich looked pale and underdone. The sandwich itself was large. Looked to be a full 12inch sandwich. According to my husband, the sandwich was good, a 7⁄10. I definitely wouldn’t get Indian here again, but maybe their sandwiches are worth it. This was a delivery order, if that makes any difference.

I had been at a home inspection nearby that had run a little long, so I just picked the first restaurant on the list. Thankfully, it was Bella! Italian and Indian seems an odd combination –I can certainly vouch for the Indian portion. Since it was after 2 pm, I didn’t have the opportunity to see any Italian food, as I was the only customer. I chose Butter Chicken with Basmati rice and Naan. So delicious! Even later in the afternoon, the food was cooked just for me, the naan was soft and perfectly cooked. The rice was spiced with cardamom pods, cloves and topped with fried onion pieces. The Butter Chicken was nicely spiced and made mild for my wimpy taste buds. It was exactly what I was hungry for. Servers were attentive and not overwhelming — which could have been the case as the only in-store customer. A great choice!

First time ordering from this local restaurant so I ended up relying on the recommendations of others. I ordered the buttered chicken, buttered fish, samosas, momos, rock shrimp, and naan, so we had a good spread. I was a little apprehensive because normally places that mix very different cuisines(Italian and Indian in this case) end up not being very good at either. We played it safe and pretty much ordered from the Indian side of the menu this time and I am happy to say that Bella did not disappoint. The food was hot, delivered in a reasonable amount of time, seasoned well and plentiful. The prices were OK although this is the first place that I have ordered from that charges for naan bread when ordering an entrée. All in all I would order from again and hopefully they can repeat the experience the second time around.

An amazing little gem in the area. The Indian and Italian dishes are amazing on their own, but the fusion is even more so. We asked for palak ravioli, tortellini with butter chicken curry, gnnochi tikka masala and best of all the paneer tikka pizza.

This place has AMAZINGly good food! It seems like the restaurant used to be Italian, so they kept all of that yummy food and added even more yummy food, this time Indian food. We had the pakota fried veggies and the chickpea and potato fritters with sides of mint yogurt and tamarind sauce, Greek salad(1 with balsamic and 1 with house dressing), naan, pasta al forno, and matar paneer(mild). Also had some Italian bread, red wine, and Taj Mahal beer. It was all 5 star quality! We tried the fried ice cream with chocolate Haagen Daas. It was OK, but I think we should have stuck with the traditional vanilla. Don’t know why the Italian/Indian place had fried ice cream but it sounded good. The service was a little slow but very friendly. We will not hesitate to go back. Another Unilocal hidden gem!

I have dined here before and had a good experience. This time however was my first time I ordered here through EAT24. I waited over 45 minutes and called to check the status of my order. It seems as if my order was never placed or the delivery guy made a mistake. I had to tell them my order again and they deliver in less than 15 minutes. My advice is call restaurant direct to place an order. The delivery guy was nice and apologized for the mix up. He said they gave an extra item as compliment for the mix up.(I did not find anything extra) I ordered the Buttery Chicken, Naan Bread, and Pagodas. 1st time ordered in the Pagodas(fried fritters), were good and will order next time. The sauces that come with them are not as tasteful. I recommend to dip the Pagodas in the butter chicken broth. The butter chicken is what I recommend to order if you are new to Indian cuisine, its a good introductory dish. Naan bread is a must when ordering indian cuisine but personally I think it should be complimentary.

Bella is a new restaurant in the area. While I have never been to the restaurant in person, I have ordered multiple dishes(both pizza and Indian) from them and have yet to be disappointed. One would expect that a restaurant with such an eclectic menu would be mediocre at best, however that is simply not true with Bella. Their curries and various Indian dishes are spicy and flavor-rich and their pizza is some of the better in the area. Highly recommended!

This is different. An Indian/Italian restaurant okay. Indian cuisine is my absolute favorite. I know good indian food. I had my hope up on this one. Finally a place that delivers to me. Well the food is missing flavor and spices. The rice wasn’t even basmati rice. I have NEVER had Indian food with parboiled rice. What is going on? The chicken tikka masala was eh! The lamb biryani was eh! The naan was like some kind of flat bread. But the samosas for delicious! So they get 3 stars for trying but I won’t be back unless I’m desperate. And I ordered for delivery and it was a reasonable wait. No problems there.

This is a new restaurant in same location as the old Pasta Nostra. Some of the interior carries over, looks nice. They offer lunch portions and prices, sure… But the real treat is the back page– Indian food. Tika Masala, Vindaloo, well known dishes are here. Today I’m trying the Butter Chicken Curry, and a side of naan bread. We started with Momo, with a zingy but not spicy-hot tomato chutney. Amazing… Really! My partner ate off the Italian side– a little pricey for Shrimp Fra Diavolo(5 large shrimp for $ 17 is about $ 3 too much or one shrimp too few!) but better tasting than the old version at the old restaurant that used to be here. So. Other than price, it’s pretty neat perfect! Portions as previously reported are large. Try this place before it gets discovered!
