Indian Lounge in Bury

My family and I will never go back to this place. We heard of it's good reviews and thought we should try it out but don't be fooled, they will charge you for simple take out bags!!!! When we got the bill there were some unlabelled charges at the end that we didn't understand. They said £4 was for the disposable containers they had given us to take our leftovers home with. No other restaurant has ever charged for take out bags and they didn't tell us there would be a charge for them. They said the other charges must have been for drinks, but the prices didn't seem right to us.

Excellent meal at The Indian Lounge! The food was superb, the recommended Garlic Shahee was fantastic! The staff couldn’t do enough for us, amazing customer service! Thanks guys!

Food was lovely, fast service and the staff were helpful, I would come here more often but I was working away however if I’m ever in the area I shall be coming back

Lovely food, the best I've had in a long time. The gentleman who delivered the food was one of the restaurant staff, rather than just some delivery driver, he was very pleasant and polite. Will definately return and eat in next time.

Food top notch, warm environment, great service from all staff waiting on. Got to hold the trophy for the Best Indian Restaurant in the North West 2024 , which says it all!! Can’t fault the service though

Went on a quiet Monday with 3 adults and 1 child and what a treat. Fantastic customer service from start to finish. Menu choice was huge with portions exactly right - for me anyway. Some of the best food I’ve had. The highlight was Shini as a children’s entertainer. He took my granddaughter under his wing, fed the fish and generally made a fuss of her. Admittedly it was quiet, but it was a nice touch. Not the cheapest Indian meal, but it was quality scoff and the customer service was outstanding. We will be back.

Superb customer experience, great food and really pleased my mate and I called in a couple of hours ago. They understandably had lots of bookings but managed to fit us in. SHINY - you were brilliant...thank you for sorting us a table. If you've never been I can highly recommend this place. Will certainly be back.

Top class. Was in last night with a group of friends. Can't fault it. Service and food was impeccable

I have to admit it not the best looking restaurant from the outside but the food was second to none. Me and my son had a the menu for two £42.00 we can eat but the amount of food you got we could not finish it. The waiters were very helpful and knowledgeable and helped us choose the menu we wanted.

Love this place they are so hospitable and helpful. Myself, family and friends went to eat there for my belated birthday and shiny was so obliging, helpful and the team there were so pleasant and friendly! Food was amazing, service was second to none, affordable prices and then out of the gesture of their kindness brought me a birthday cake out and got everyone singing happy birthday. Just everything there ticked the box. Great work guys 🤗

Visited Saturday night as a group of 12. Looked after from start to finish by very friendly staff. Food was excellent and everyone was very happy with their meal. Thank you 😊

The food is amazing the staff are lovely and friendly the Indian lounge is the best restaurant ever and when I ordered the food was on time for takeout

I have just tried ordering and what sounded like a young waitress lad was very disrespectful and was swearing 🤬 at me coz he couldn't get my number right 😒 I absolutely love it there aswell feel like I can't order again coz I don't want to be spoken to like that

0 effort on food, all curries look and taste the same. There's no quality there and I will not go back.

Modern Indian. Had balti exotica, highly recommended.

Astounding service. We were a group of over 20 who preordered for service at around 10:30. Amazing service. By the end of the night the head server had learned all our names. He offered to alter the spice of my dish whenever I needed to. If you visit, tip well because it's well deserved.

10/10 absolutely excellent service & lovely food!!!

Just visited it after not been for some time, absolutely delicious food , tasty , good portions, great service, staff very attentive,

My wife and I went to Indian Lounge Restaurant. Very good food, excellent service. We will be going back. Phil and Val.

Excellent meal tonight and excellent service the staff couldn't be any more helpful very friendly the food was excellent will definitely be going again

What a fantastic evening at the Indian lounge, we went to celebrate at birthday, usually we go to another local Indian restaurant, but after a few poor service experiences on our last couple of visits we thought we'd try here instead, we'd already read positive reviews and we were definitely not disappointed, the food was delicious, and the staff and manager just went the extra mile to provide a 5 star service, the whole experience was excellent, we will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First visit for four of us. Very impressed with the menu, the service and most importantly the food! It was quite early on a Saturday evening so a bit quiet but we'll be back!

Never really one to write a review but we was absolutely blown away by the food and the hospitality when we visited Indian Lounge, we was there for a friends birthday and as much as the food is amazing, the waiter really made our night, he was so accommodating, he gave brilliant advice on the menu and went out of his way to make sure we was all satisfied and had everything we needed, I mean with 13 people this can be difficult but he did this so effortlessly and naturally. Our new favourite place!

Good menu and food, it's also been good food every time we've ordered or visited. The garlic naan is beautifully soft and fluffy when eating in, it didn't travel quite so well.

Great attentive service, ensuring you get a curry at the right spice level.The quality of dishes were excellent.

After a another restaurant screwed up our reservation these guys pulled out all the stops The food was excellent The service was impeccable Atmosphere was great The effort made to make our night special was outstanding

Great service, would fight tooth and nail to give you the best customer experience

All the staff are so lovely the food is amazing and the service is absolutely amazing

Food inst very good and extremely oily wont be returning. Must be faking the reviews as we got better food in asdas and that was no good.

Can’t speak highly enough of the place. Superb service for 18 people, no mistakes, ran like clock work. From the food to the customer service A*. Won’t be the last time we visit and wouldn’t hesitate booking a large table for an occasion again. Thanks to the team, Lewis had a great evening/night.

Very good food, service excellent and friendly.

I absolutely love this place. We always have such a great time. The food is lovely . .and there is plenty of it, including vegetarian options. The service is great and we can just take out time and enjoy a fabulous meal. With so much choice about, I never understand how other restaurants don't make the effort . . I think they need to come and eat here and see how a good restaurant does it!

We love a trip to Indian Lounge. Every time the food is tasty while the staff are friendly, attentive and make you feel so welcome. We've had birthdays, a gym Christmas trip, takeaways and other visits when we just fancied eating out. Each one has been an enjoyable experience. Big thanks to the Indian Lounge team

Lovely place with great service only one small thing for us was completely unsure why poppadoms would be £1 each and the Chutney trays £4.20. The reason why we didn't order any. Double the cost of anywheres else.

My first meal from here. One of the best curries I've had in a long time. Good quality and good portion size. Would definitely use again.

Lovely food pleasant staff and plenty of food good value for money nice for a family meal been several time and never disappointed

Absolutely top night great food excellent hospitality would recommend 👌 it to anybody lovely people 👍👍👍

This is quite possibly the best Indian restaurant in the entirety of greater Manchester. I have dined here with my family over the span of 10 years and can’t recall a single negative experience. The food is out of this world and they deliver this with unmatched consistency. Each and every one of the staff provide the most incredible customer service and ensure that even the finest of details are perfected. The restaurant itself is warm and welcoming providing the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the finest of Indian cuisine. I can’t recommend this place enough, If you’re considering visiting for the first time, then wait no longer!

Takeaway was soooo good. Garlic butter chicken and garlic chicken tikka. Best peshwari bread ever tasted. Mushroom pilaf rice is very tasty. Found a gem here.

Literally fabulous , food lovely, staff great, looked after us so well and amazing with the children in our party, you won’t be disappointed, thankyou ❤️ not our 1st visit and definitely won’t be our last

I’ve been coming here since 2016 and I’ve never had a bad meal. The service is excellent and the food is great. Lovely people.

This was a spontaneous first visit that did not disappoint. The service was exceptional. The food was delicious and all at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be returning.

I cannot thank Shiney enough for his lovely customer service tonight. What a lovely manager and credit to the company. The whole team could not have done enough for us. Always asking if we needed anything. We had a party of 14 and had a really lovely time. The children were made to feel so welcome and even got to feed the fish at the end which they where thrilled about! The food was absolutely top notch. Tasty, very quick service for all the drinks and food!! Everything was really well presented. 5*** service !!Thank you again to Indian lounge team!!

Had a surprise 50th Birthday celebration here last Friday to kick off the start of my Birthday weekend. Can honestly say we had the best night. There were 9 of us in total and the restaurant was packed out. This did not impact on service whatsoever. Staff were brilliant, very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable even made one of our guests a special curry to her taste. Would definitely recommend. Food was really tasty all piping hot and served well. Will definitely be returning. Special shout out to Shiny.

Just been for a meal in a large group, and have to say the service was amazing- really well organised, and would highly recommend. Been to other Indian restaurants and this is hands down the best!! Thanks for a great night

Simply the best Indian food in the area. There are plenty of good Indian restuarants to be found, but the subleties of flavours in the dishes here are just amazing. I've tried several of them, all of which have been just that bit better than the competion. Like beers, Indian food is no different, in that all are slightly different & therefore somewhat subjective when it comes to personal taste. But for me, they are just that bit better than the rest. Highly recommended!

Excellent service and food as always 👌

Absolutely fantastic food. Very attentive. Somewhat too attentive! Last 2 visits finished our food, not offered desert menu but given our bill. Wasn't full and we had only spent an hour inside the restaurant both times. Apart from that highly recommend.

It was ok... food was quite nice, quite cheap. Service was ok... a couple of big groups in when we were there. Atmosphere was...ok! It was... ok 👍

Not usually one to complain or write publicly... Have been to Indian Lounge this evening + to be fair the main course was very tasty. However, the popadums were stale! We mentioned this to our waiter who apologised but didn't swap them / offer anything off the bill or any gesture for this. We normally go to Cardamom Cream in Ramsbottom (which is on the expensive side) but at least they do have fresh popadums!! Next time we will be back to CC!!

Just tried for the first time since moving to ramsbottom and it was absolutely amazing, everything was delicious, arrived early and even gave us some free onion bhajis, I think this will be my new local Indian thanks so much

I visited this restaurant with some work colleagues, as it had been recommended as a brilliant restaurant, so we booked the restaurant,we arrived on time and on arrival we was greeting by a young man you showed us to our table, there was about ten of us. we waited for the young man to come along and ask us if we required any drinks , so we gave him our request, and we all got what we had asked for because he had written it down. The waited then arrived to ask us if we was ready to place are order for our food and we were, so again he wrote it all down on his little not pad, and off he went to the kitchen, it wasn't to long before the food arrived, we all got the food that we ordered and we was asked if we would like any more drinks, so we placed another order again he wrote down, everyone tucked into the food, il be totally honest I've had better chicken tikka massala from a microwave meal, and a couple of other colleagues who had other dishes said there food was very disappointing too, we asked for the bill and we was all paying separately, now this is were it get messy we all paid for absolutely everything we had and left them an £8 from a colleague and they said there was about £30 short, we worked it out and this was never possible, we asked how it could have been possible especially when we had left a tip and they said it's added up to that, we paid the extra and went on our way, the next day we was all at work and it was really bugging us that we knew we paid enough, I asked the restaurant to send me a copy of the bill put the guy on the phone said oh we don't keep them🔔 starts ringing im thinking something isn't right here, then he sent a message about 20 minutes later saying oh I've managed to find it.... so he sent it over to me but there was no drinks on the bill, so I then questioned that, he said we don't put drinks on the bill...how on earth do they keep a tally of the drinks everybody had, 🤔 anybody else had any experience like this at this restaurant, and the guy on the phone was really nasty when I queried anything, so just to make people aware watch out for the prices they charge you for your drinks that arnt on your bill !!

Held our cricket clubs end of season presentation night at Indian Lounge - excellent service & food We will be returning

Great food Great staff We be going time and time again

Not local to the restaurant, so called in casually for the mid-week special they used to do. Unfortunately they have now stopped this, so our spend was upped somewhat to £35 per person. Both the food and service were excellent.

We visited Indian Lounge in Ramsbottom (on our way back from a great result against Man U) based on the positive reviews this restaurant receives - however our experience was a disappointing one. Our starter set the tone and although our pickles were good, the poppadoms were stale and would only bend rather than snap. Our curries continued the disappointing theme. My chicken tikka lava had meat that was difficult to cut and the sauce was rather gloopy and without the fairly hot spice that was promised. The rice was also stodgy. My son had a chicken balti and his views about his meal were very similar to mine. The restaurant was busy but seemed quite chaotic and a lot of shouting could be heard from the kitchen. The atmosphere just didn't feel very professional and calming. I have eaten at and reviewed many Indian restaurants across the UK, but sadly the food at Indian Lounge is at the bottom end of my experiences.

Great restaurant. Service is efficient and effective. Food is fantastic, would recommend .

Lovely place, good service and amazing food.

Best Indian in Rammy. The staff are lovely and the food is delicious whether taking away or eating in.

Great indian friendly service with a smile shiney made us laugh this is our regular place to eat now. Great food great for family get togetherness

Again great food, brilliant, attentive service from all the staff and a lovely atmosphere. NEVER had a bad meal at the Indian Lounge. Thank you

I have not seen such great customer service ever..mind blowing, absolute phenomenal..we felt as if we was full before eating..the front of house guy took such great care of us..so friendly it's unbelievable and the food was very good, colourful, vibrant looking and tasty. It's a family restaurant which you can tell, amazing..👌 Nice to have a fellow Bengali doing so good..let's go!

We were staying in a local hotel and really wanted an Indian Meal. We walked in and felt at home. Great meal, friendly staff. This was in the summer of 2019. We enjoyed the experience so much that we booked a table for mums birthday a few days later, my nephew and his girlfriend were also visiting from Holland, which is where we live. Great evening. This year will be the first time we have been back and we are so looking forward to marvelous food and service. It is asking me to select a time we were there but our year is not in the list so I just clicked on the latest date.

One of the nicest curries I’ve had. Shiny (not sure of spelling!) was great fun. Food took a while to come but it was very busy in there which just shows that’s it’s a popular place and it was worth the wait.

Amazing food, best Indian we’ve had! Would highly recommend! We’ve found our new go to!

We have been eating here for many years and often make the 30 minute journey for a take away order. The restaurant is family run and the staff are very knowledgeable on the dishes available. The food over the years has remained a consistently high quality. Last year they won a very well deserved Curry Life Award. For a take away order, you can’t beat the curry set meal for two. It never disappoints. I can’t recommend any particular dish as all are excellent. Well done guys👍

Fantastic service, amazing food, great atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble for Shiny and the team. I will definitely be back.

Booked a table for 10 on a busy Saturday night and they managed to fit 3 more in for us. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Amazing staff, fantastic service, great atmosphere, huge menu, delicious fresh food! The staff are extremely knowledgeable and spend time talking through the menu and recommending dishes. A great night had by all. Thank you!

The staff was excellent and the food was exceptional. Really impressed with how kind and considerate the staf were. Definitely will come back!

Another superb meal from the best Indian restaurant in Lancashire. Great service with polite and well turned out staff. Very reasonably priced. My 70th birthday and my family of 8 where all delighted with the food and service was as always excellent.

Regular takeaway customers and always pay cash. Tonight, I mistakenly attempted to pay via card. (We had ordered earlier on in the evenng with another takeaway firm with a card machine hence my oversight. I was making a second order of the day to the lounge for my son. The ordered totalled £15) We explained this to the deliver guy who accepted our mistake and apology. He gave us our food and advised us to just ring the restaurant to speak with the manager who would help me to sort it out. I rang straight away to organise payment and to apologise for my error. Shiny answered and spoke with me in a very harsh and abrupt tone, giving me warnings etc., I was definately shocked at his attitude but put it down to him having a bad shift at work, sent the payment straight away. Two minutes later Shiny was ringing me and tbh I did expect an apology and thought maybe the payment had processed through really quickly but no - Shiny remained abrupt, demanding payment, even threatening to come to my home to view my bank account because he did not believe I had sent it (last two mins). I warned Shiny I was not alone in the property and he would be speaking with my husband. I then had to warn all my family that Shiny would be arriving at our property in the next few moments - everyone was in total shock!!!! To say everyone was on edge was an understatement. The phone rang again (two mins). My husband answered and spoke with Shiny. Shiny advised my husband the payment had now arrived and apologised. My husband was happy to accept it. My son thought the food was delicious but I will never order from the lounge again for all the reasons above.

Love this restaurant The food is outstanding as is the service we really enjoyed it! Looking forward to going again. Highly recommend.

Brilliant as ever, the head waiter is great. There were 17 of us and we were all happy and all our needs were catered for. The food is delish.

Very impressed with Indian Lounge, great decor and atmosphere, delicious food at very good prices and lovely, friendly staff. We were very well looked after, would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Visited following recommendation for my sons 7th birthday. What an amazing place. Outstanding food. Shiney looked after us, he got the whole restaurant singing for my little lads birthday and made a real fuss. My eldest lad has autism and only eats beige food - Shiney somehow managed to get him to try a mixed starter & he ate half & loved it - he really was so attentive to getting it right for everyone. All our food choices were spot on, best Indian we’ve been to and can’t wait to return. Had a table next to the fish which the kids loved 🥰

An amazing atmosphere and such a tasty curry! We were served by ‘Shiny’ and he was so friendly and helpful. Their recommendations are great and they couldn’t do more to make you feel welcome! Thank you all

Fantastic food, excellent service. The staff are so attentive and can't do enough for you. Visited a lot of Indian restaurants and this has to be one of the best.

Amazing place and such a lovely atmosphere. The waiters are so friendly and give really good recommendations. We will definitely be back - thank you!

Absolutely perfect , excellent. Nice clean restaurant. Extremely friendly and helpful waiter. Top quality food. You cannot go wrong here

A really nice restaurant and great food, could just do with a little refreshing the decor and would be amazing.

Amazing food and amazing service. I travel a lot on business and look for a good place to enjoy and this place was top notch. There were so many different and interesting dishes on offer it was hard to choose. The manager ’Shiney’ said he could give me a ‘Thaali’ (tapas style) of sauces which I’ve never been offered before. First class and friendly staff. Get your self here.

Such a great vibe, with Shiny as the host you feel like there's nothing he wouldn't do to make your dining experience a memorable one . From arrival to departure . He suggested he take a photo., gave us full review of menu specific to each person's palate, gave us the opportunity to rejig the spice if it needed more / less once we were served. He is v engaging and charismatic! We were all v v pleased with our menu choices and plan to return.

Our waiter, Shiny, was super welcoming and friendly. We asked him to recommend dishes and they didn't disappoint. Full of flavour and fresh ingredients. Our first time at Indian Lounge and it won't be the last!

We went to Indian Lounge last night. The food was great, I had a garlic chicken tikka and ate all of it. Our waiter Shiny was really good and let me feed the fishes, can’t wait to go again 🤩 from James, aged 8. Thank you Shiny!

Simply amazing. Food and service was exceptional. Special credit to Afi.

Unfortunately, we were left disappointed with both the service and food of our recent visit. Staff were unfriendly (which has never been the case before) and unwelcoming. Weekday deals have now been removed from the menu, making what used to be a very affordable restaurant,...

From the moment we arrived until the minute we left we were treated like old friends, despite it being the first time we had visited. We were up in Ramsbottom staying with family, who said it was their favourite Indian restaurant and how pleased were...

Well what a gem of a place! We booked a table for 6 which included 2 young children. The manager could not do anymore for us as always. Super friendly, great with the children (they actually ate all their dinner with the promise they could feed their fish, this promise was certainly kept). Comment from my 4 and 6 year old on the way home "that was the best place ever with the tastiest curry".

5 of us were out for the night in Ramsbottom and we had a great meal here. The staff were very good, the service excellent and the food outstanding. We have had a lot of Indian food, from all over the North West, this place...

Indian lounge has always been decent at a reasonable price. These days its a little more expensive but the food has improved too. Had a cracking meal and the quality is up there with the best Indian restaurants in the area.

Could not have been better. Think 🤔 everyone had the same idea as we had for a Saturday afternoon, a few beers around town and then tea in the Indian. The place was busy when we arrived but we had already booked a table. The service was excellent and the staff were so welcoming. Big choice on the menu which would cover everyones favourite. I went for something different, sea bass as a fish 🐠 starter and found a lamb shank in with the chefs specials for my main. The food was excellent and it's a long time since we had an Indian meal and actually ate everything that was put in front of us. A visit is a must when visiting Ramsbottom it was outstanding. Thanks to all the staff.

Booked my daughters 21st meal for 12 of us and the place did not disappoint. We firstly had an extra guest who they seated without a problem for us and then made the evening one of pure entertainment. They allowed us time to catch up with each other without rushing us , kept the drinks flowing and set some great table challenges that had us laughing most of the night. The food here is delicious and everyone has since contacted me today to say its the best curry they have had in a long time. I cannot wait to come back - shiny and the team u made the night one to remember for the birthday girl thank you so much !!

We were a large party for a family 21st. The menu was extensive and our waiter Shini took the trouble to explain in detail the level of spiciness of the dishes pretty accurately indeed. The service was second to none, the food outstanding, but Shini...

They made my 30th birthday very special! And the food is delicious and well worth the price! Service was 10/10 and they couldn’t have done more for us 😊

Takeaway was that good I didn't miss the nan bread they missed on order xx

The best indian around! Delicious fresh, tasty food, amazing friendly service, can't beat it!! Highly recommend 👌

The service is second to non! Amazing! So attentive, no rushing you in and out! This restaurant has such a family feel to it. The food is a solid 10/10 too! All round the best place to go out and eat

This restaurant has some amazing staff , I have worked with food for 32 years as a cook but also serving the public. In all my years of experience I have never seen someone go to the extra mile that shiny in here did this...

The service was very good and we were helped with suggestions of different dishes with a full explanation of what they were. The food was excellent and I would have no problem in recommending this restaurant for a curry evening.

This was our first visit and definitely won't be the last .I made the booking online and received a call the following day to confirm when we arrived we were greeted my the fantastic Shiney who was the perfect host he was fantastic with both...
