“ Found this based on Google reviews and did not disappoint. The quality of the food (especially the chefs specials) was excellent. The manager / owner was such a great host. We had a great night and wouldn't hesitate to go back. Thanks ”
“ It's been on the list to visit for a while and we managed to get here for an early Sunday evening family meal. Kids catered for if you need that. We had 8 in our party and the bill was around 330. Food was great and full of flavour. Service was good and staff great. Would return. ”
“ Back here after a several year gap and we were remembered, and warmly welcomed, so that was a good start. Excellent Indian, three mains, three vegetable sides, all looking fresh, different and interesting and tasting excellent. Nice to be back. ”
“ Really good. Beautiful fish curry, well cooked. Light soft Nan bread. Great staff.. excellent. ”
“ We visited this establishment for the first time on Saturday night, it was my birthday. My partner booked it. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff couldn't do enough for us; they were really attentive but not overbearing. They gave me a birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday, which was not requested by my partner, which I thought was a lovely touch. If I have one criticism, I thought the wine was expensive, but it won't stop us from returning. I highly recommend the place. ”
“ Amazing experience! All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming! I recommend the Tandoori Chicken Tikka, it was seasoned perfectly and was the chicken was juicy and tender. ”
“ Loved our experience at Spice Lounge! The menu has so much choice, all your standard curries you’d expect plus more I’d never heard of! Poppadoms and chutneys were some of the best I’ve ever had, all of our curries were delicious and distinct flavours, and the sides and the sharing platter were great too. Service was very friendly and welcoming and we felt really relaxed. Will definitely be making this our regular curry house! ”
“ I absolutely loved my chicken Naga Curry here, it's really hard to find a place that has one, let alone a tasty fresh and super spicy one. Would recommend ”
