Royal Darbar (formerly Spice Lounge)

Great restaurant we frequent pretty much every fortnight. They offer not only good old traditional curries, but also a good selection of chef's specials with a twist. It is a BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) venue, so one does not have to break the bank to dine here.
Try their chili chicken for a starter, and king prawn bhuna for main, and definitely ask for poppadoms before your meal as the sauces are delicious. Arabian rice and chili lemon pilau rice are good choices of side dishes.
Service is fantastic, too - quick, efficient and very discreet. We have always had a very relaxing and satisfying meal at The Spice Lounge,

Me and Tracy have been here many times now, the staff are always welcoming & friendly, the food is excellent and you can ask them to personalise your choice too. Great value for money, big menu to choose from and it's a nice place to eat.

Me and my husband are regulars and the food here is so lovely there's lots of choice on the menu and is reasonable in price you will never come out there hungry the atmosphere is great and staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome and are always helpful. There isn't a bar it's take your own alcohol. Good value for money. Would highly recommend this place.

Came to eat at The Spice Lounge with a few friends. Even on a busy Saturday evening, the service was impeccable. They made the food fit to my taste buds which was an added bonus. Would recommend to anyone. Definitely coming again!

Ate here with family. Mix of curries, dry dishes and english. Food took around 45 mins to come early on a Saturday, which gave us time to catch-up. Nice large restaurant, so plenty of room around the tables and not cramped. Spotlessly clean and the serving people every attentive. Food was really good - I opted for mixed tandoori main course - lamb was delicious. Lamb naga was also pretty good as well.
Would have no problems in going back.

We dined here on Friday 25/09. There was 7 of us, we all loved the food and Service, We all had our drinks poured in every round and our table cleaned after each course. The Waiter ( Kieran) was really good, very polite and approachable, this my second visit there so far. Can't wait to Return.....

Do NOT judge this place by the exterior as you will miss out on a lovely meal at very reasonable prices. It looks tatty from the outside but the interior is really well done only complaint was that it was a little chilly but we had arrived as they opened so took a while to heat up. Myself and two friends came here on a Tuesday night it was really quiet but on a Wednesday and Sunday they do a two course meal for under ten pound!. We all had starters which was a really big portion and tasty we all had mains of various curries , garlic and peshwari naan and pilau rice. My friend commented that she had never had so much chicken in a curry before. The waiters were attentive without being intrusive and the bill was very reasonable with all our soft drinks as there is not alcohol served but you can take your own. We are all arranging to go back again as its perfect place to have a catch up and a curry !

It is really nice in here. Beautiful food, good portions and the decor is gorgeous. Only problem would be the atmosphere.. It can be pretty quiet on weekday evenings. But we always go on valentines day.. They give the girl a rose and it's very romantic.
