Came here for my mothers birthday. There were 9 of us. They let my sister decorate the table before hand. They dont serve alcohlic drink in there but thats not a problem, as it is cheaper to bring your own and they get you glasses for the drinks. Quickly given menus, and orders taken. Staff were very polite happy and smiling which is what you want when you go out. Food came quickly with all the correct orders. I had the chicken tikka masala. It was a bit sweet for me but thats just my personal preferance. The chicken in it was lovely! Everybody enjoyed there food had a great experience. The boss should be proud!!

I came here recently for my boyfriend's Mum's birthday. We came on a Friday night at 7:30pm with a group of 9. The restaurant wasn't overly busy, but there were a couple of other large groups.
There were around 3 waiters but it seemed to be one who was doing the majority of the work. He was very helpful and the service we received from him was excellent.
Please note that this restaurant does not serve alcohol (only soft drinks) but you can bring your own alcohol with you which they supply glasses for.
The food is well priced here and the portion sizes are decent. I had the salmon tikka for a main course which had 1 and a half large fillets of salmon. The salmon was beautifully cooked. The sauce was a little sweet for me, but that's just personal taste. Most people in the group enjoyed their meals and the overall bill (9 mains, 9 poppadoms and a few soft drinks) came to around £140 which we all felt was great value.
I would definitely come here again.

Visit for the first time and wasn't disappointed. Unusual, varied menu with classic favourites. Food was rich, tasty and generous. Service was quick and attentive. Lovely surroundings - a return visit awaits. Excellent!

I have eaten at this restaurant on numerous occasions and have utilised the restaurant and take away service. They are a very professional restaurant and can say that they always produce top quality food at a very reasonable price. The staff are attentive and welcoming. Some restaurants seem to forget a spice or just throw the whole jar in, this is not the case as they are carefull to offer the dish to ur request. Parking is the only issue at weekends. Well done guys keep up the good work

Since my review we've been back a couple of times. I'm pleased they've tidied the outside up but still suggest a little bit more work wouldn't go amiss.
Overall we like the food but just occasionally there seems to be an issue with "dry" chicken - I am not sure why this happens but ask the waiter to put it right if it happens to you. Our only other niggle is that the service can be a bit slow but otherwise it's a good place to visit.

I switched from my local restaurant to the Spice Lounge, after my old local restaurant started to charge for delivery, and so I'm so glad I switched. The food is simply excellent, and tastes amazing. Some times delivery / takeaway orders don't feel close to the food quality you get when dining in, but everything I've ordered from the Spice Lounge has been delicious, piping hot and on par with a dine-in experience. A top quality restaurant, friendly staff, good value and 5 star food. Highly recommended!
