While most reviews are glowing, a few mention occasional issues with starters being cold or mains being excessively spicy, alongside some concerns about language barriers and staff helpfulness. Overall, it's a recommended spot for a satisfying Indian meal.

"Absolutely fantastic food. We ordered three curries and two different types of bread & rice. We could not fault it. Quality and quantity was superb. Everyone was absolutely stuffed and the staff offered to give us containers to take away our leftovers."

"Had a very tasty takeaway from Spice Lounge last night, good flavour and ingredients and plenty of sauce. Meal was ordered online and was ready at the time stated. Plus they added some poppadoms on arrival as I forgot to order them. Definitely recommend ."
