Kardamom Lounge in Milton Keynes

Really tasty fresh food. I have stopped going out for curry because I am so disappointed by the “same old, same old”, however this was a delight. It was banquet night, Wednesday, and amazing value for £14.95 a head. I had the lamb chops, chicken dansak, and a vegetable curry. Wonderful clean flavours, no oil to be seen either. My naan was delightful too. We had good service. Highly recommend.

This restaurant is very friendly and the food is delicious KC the manager is very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble

We were at the Kardamon Lounge last night for dinner with my brother and sister in law. It was their first time there and I think they were both really impressed. The staff are so lovely - always so welcoming and such good fun. KC had us all laughing. The food was delicious too by the way! Thank you for looking after us. We really enjoyed our evening out. Kardamon Lounge remains our favourite Indian restaurant in MK.

Fantastic meal last night! The staff were very friendly especially the owner, he was very kind. One of the best Indian meals have had with lovely lighting and comfort. Thank you team

Ordered delivery. Chicken Madras. Damask king prawn … I asked for it to be as spicy as madras. Nan . Tandoori roti. Sag aloo. Absolutely delicious. Best curry we have had for a while. Fresh tasting ingredients and freshly made. Delivery driver lovely too.

Delicious food, nice ambiance and nice ambiance. Will go back

Good quality food and service as always

Went with a large group of friends from Work. Had a fantastic meal as usual. - staff are the best and the food in my opinion is the best curry in Milton Keynes

Dinner with great friends, attentive and friendly service from KC and amazing food - the perfect Friday Night out in Stony! Fabulous meat quality and quantity in all dishes ordered, piping hot, no grease and very tasty Cant wait to go back

My friend and I dined here one evening on a fluke. Looking for a place open late night.. they welcomed us with a smile. From the off KC our waiter was friendly, attentive, funny and polite. Engaging in conversation, and keen to get to know us. A brilliant touch. I order from here often, but this is a first at eating in.. I will make it a regular restaurant if choice! The food was fresh, hot and delicious. Could not ask for more. Thank you guys!

We had a great evening, KC made us feel very welcome, the food was lovely, and definitely be going back there 😋, thank you

Excellent food and delivery as usual

My order took 1hr 45m annd was cold....terrible. I paid £ 38 fior order.

Great food here. And nice service too. Always tastes great.

Lovely evening and food with family. Night was made more fun with KC taking our orders and having fun throughout the night. Made us feel welcome. KC, dont change :-)

Nothing wrong with the food but we have had better in other local restaurants. Service was excellent. Atmosphere a bit lacking. Large menu, great choice

Great evening with our host, lots of laughs, delicious food and very reasonable prices. Service was excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

KC Served us efficiently and with his lovely sense of humour and the food was delicious. Great place

I went to this restaurant today.. I didn’t have a booking but they saw me straight away, which was nice.. The waiter sat me down at the table but the restaurant was really cold. The waiter said I can move at the front which is warmer, which is what we did. Without me even saying they even got an electric fan which was nice… I traveled from Luton just to eat here. The reviews said good service and food. Thought it would be like other restaurants and be okay/ standard, but the service was soo good… was actually excellent. Went above and beyond thought our time there.. Food was really nice and not like other Bengali restaurants where food is bland this had loads and loads of flavour.. was spot on.. Won’t come back as this was too far for me especially having a little one but if I was local this would be one I go to every week. No service charge which shows the business doesn’t need to force their customers to pay.. Can’t give this place anything less than 5 star.. Keep up the good effort… keep the prices reasonable as you are and I can assure you you will be number one in the area.

Brilliant food and cracking service. Both my kids have chosen to have their birthday meals there in the last 6 months and the staff made them feel super special!!

Wonderful tasty food, best Indian in Stony!!

What ever you do don’t come after 9pm, as they clearly want you to go home early, every time we come late, they look at their watches and make snarky comments about when they close!

Food was delivered quickly. food was hot, very tasty! has to be in my top 3 now, not been in the area long. Will definitely be using them again! highly recommended!

Wonderful food with kind and courteous staff. Thoroughly recommended.

The best Indian restaurant in MK by a country mile. People who love and know their curries will agree. Amazing 👏

We visited with a group of 11 and were extrememely well looked after by KC and the whole team. All dishes were excellent; tasty, plentiful and very well presented as always. We visit every few weeks in a small group and keep returning. I was impressed how the standards didnt slip at all with the bigger numbers on this occassion and all meals being delivered in a timely way at the same time. Great work all.

Went in to order a takeaway and was told around 20 minutes, got a pint whilst I waited before proceeding to wait a total of 50 minutes for our takeaway… being told five minutes each time he walked past

I live in Texas, when I come to visit family I always go to the Kardamom Lounge. The food and service has always been outstanding. Our waiter this time was KC. He was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.

Celebrating brother in-laws 79th Birthday, he was very spoilt, by KC who was so attentive which made his evening. Fantastic food, and service

Wow what ever Shef was working on 20th November 2023 you should keep them full time. The food was spot on 100% the best vindaloo I've ever eaten plus they read the extra notes on orders done over there website. Been using this place for 15 plus years now.

Just love this place! Food is amazing!! Staff are so polite and accommodating. Love the decor too!!!

Had dinner here on Sunday and it was amazing! Fresh, tasty delicious meal with impeccable service! The staff are always willing to help and assist with meals and different dietary requirements. There was 7 of us in our Sunday hungry party. Everybody loved their meals. They cater for all and are even super brilliant returning your belongings to you when you forget to take them home with you!!!! Thank you to all the staff at the Kardamom Lounge we will be back very soon!! Rebekah

I love Indian and Bangladeshi food! I was staying at the Old George over the road and fancied either an Italian, Thai or Indian meal for dinner and opted for here. The food and spices used are made with great care and blend. I love eating all over the world and I admire great tasting food with high quality ingredients. I’m also a really fussy eater and whilst being vegetarian I don’t always like the usual vegetable dishes. I asked for their chickpea side dish to be put with a tikka masala sauce and the blend was sensational, when you find a really top quality restaurant you will be able to taste every individual flavour and spice used, it was brilliant. The rest was the usual naan and rice etc. i usually stay in Milton Keynes Central for work once a month but now I’m going to opt to stay around this area and visit this restaurant each time I come too. Great people work here as well, very knowledgable about the spices and the care taken in what they do.

We visited the Kardamon lounge, with friends on Sunday afternoon to a friendly welcome. Good service and brilliant, tasty, well flavoured food. Thank you.

Great food and amazing service. K C really knows how to make clients feel like home. Really recommend.

My first dining experience of Indian cuisine in the United Kingdom would not have been successful without the Team at Kardamom Lounge. A highly enthusiastic, generous and welcoming wait staff awaits you. KC was both entertaining and highly proficient in his service, the food was above and beyond expectations. All the while the drinks and condiments flowed with the great service on offer. Nestled in cosiness of Stoney Stratford is this gem of culture and captivation. To any Aussies visiting this part of the UK, this is a must.

Best place in Stony to eat. Great atmosphere. You always feel welcome. Service is excellent. Staff are always polite and attentive. Portion sizes are good.

I ordered squid as a starter. When I cut into the squid rings, the membrane was still present & it was like thick elastic bands & I struggled to cut it. I explained to the waiter that the squid had not been cleaned properly & asked that he return it to the kitchen. He offered an alternative but I politely declined & said I was happy to wait for my main. However, I was shocked when a few minutes later, he returned with the plate & started to quite loudly explain to me that "this is nothing to do with cleaning" and was holding the squid ring up in the air with sauce dripping from it. I said "I eat squid a lot & that membrane should be removed because it is tough & rubbery" but he continued to challenge me. Eventually I had to say "Please stop. Don't bring it back to the table like that. Please take it away". By the way, during this exchange my husband is trying to enjoy his starter ! I hadn't made a fuss or demanded a refund, or an alternative. So there was absolutely no cause to challenge me in that way. I certainly would never challenge a diner's view by returning with the plate of food they have just returned. It was rude & poor service. It spoiled our experience & we are unlikely to return.

Food was very good and flavourful waiters were polite and funny especially KC our server he gave great service. Would definitely come back

Had a takeaway from here. Plenty of food and delivered on time. They inadvertently charged my credit card twice however not to worry the fantastic owner came round to the house and returned the money to me. He was very honest and we will use them again. Could not expect anything better

All around amazing food and team member service is great! Waiters are welcoming, friendly and funny (especially KC). Food arrives quickly; always nice hot food. No complaints at all!

Really tasty food, great choice, fantastic service. KC was very friendly. He told us he no longer sings with his Sunshine Band!

Amazing as always. Can’t fault the food or the staff, especially KC! This is always our go to restaurant, the kids love it too. Highly recommend the Sheek kebab, korma, lamb madras and saag paneer- actually everything is perfect!! Including the price! You must try it for yourself!!

What a lovely restaurant in stony, I went for dinner with my friends to celebrate my friend 60th birthday, the staff were very friendly and very helpful, the food was very nice and fresh made, the drinks also were very good. We had a lovely waiter KC his initial ( I think) and another lovely gentleman serving us I think the ouner, he was just very sweet and so lovely to us, he told us he just become a granddad few months a ago, he talked about his grandchild with so much love and emotion, it made me very emotional. What a lovely grandad he must be. Lovely restaurant with lovely food and staff. I will definitely visit with my family.

A lovely, tasty meal with friends. Excellent food and very friendly and attentive staff.

We have used KL for years, rarely disappoints and last nights take away was so delicious I just had to write a review! We had Chicken Balti and lamb Dansak. The chicken was large chunks and so soft, the lamb just fell apart and the sauces were amazing. So tasty. Thank you, see you soon!

We love this restaurant- best Indian in the area by far. Fantastic service too. Highly recommended

been going to kardamon for a while, i've worked in well known indian restraunt so i know whats involved from back to front of house, kardamon is the best! around and beond stony stratford compared to compeating restraunts. there dishes are all full of flavor and always a treat to look foward to i would gladly treat and recomend all of my frinds and famly two. KC and Managemant and team but who stands out are the cheffs ! kardamon they cant do anough for you from takeing orders offering drinks and the odd free bee while you wait for your order. you can defantly tell kardamon pride there selfs in being one of MK's finest award winning restaurants. kardamon is a hidden gem of stony stratford

My husband and I popped in on Sunday evening, 3rd September to see if there was a table free. We were shown to a table by KC we had the banquet menu. The food was excellent and some of the very best food we've ever had in an Indian restaurant. Service was excellent too and we were made to feel very welcome. I'd like to say thank you to KC and the staff at the kardamom lounge for a lovely evening. 😍

Very tasty food. Had a lamb rogan and my husband had the ki-shaan and we loved both dishes. The service was good, the staff were friendly. We’ll be back.

Delicious Sunday evening Gourmet dinner. Special offer excellent value for delicious food

A very good menu with beef and duck On most of the currys also plenty of fish dishes

Food was tasty however I did have to add some salt to bring out the flavour. I've never had to salt my curry until now but the favours were nice.

Impulse visit , to a place that has been there for ages, looks a little tired outside and never get drawn in. It's tired on the inside too "old school" if you like, but the table clothes , napkins and staff shirts are all crisp and brilliant white, but most importantly, the food was terrific. The lamb naga for me was sizzling hot on the tongue but full of flavour, just large chunks of tender lamb, no gristle or fat or "onion filler" here. My partners chicken special was plentiful and beatifiully spiced to a madras hot level. Even the bhindi and mushroom pilau had a great spice and herb seasoning, so many great flavours in one meal. I guess there is a reason these guys are still around after so many years , cool/ trendy? no... great curry? , yes! With special deals every Sunday/ Wednesday I'm certain we will be back.

Lovely food nice atmosphere friendly staff good value Excellent 👍👍🍛🍺🥂

Food arrives hot and fresh. Really good curry, as always

Probably the best curry I've ever had.

Out of all the Indian takeaways in Stony Stratford, I would say that this is the best, possibly with the exception of the extortionate Calcutta Brasserie. Food isn't always 100% though hence 4 stars instead of 5.

Food has always been great and the service. Top notch place owner is a great guy to.

Not a bad meal, service a little slow but friendly. Atmosphere a little spoiled by a couple of young kids in a large family group who don't know how to behave in a cafe, let alone a restaurant

Not as good as last time !!! most of the food was great but I was really disappointed with the Korma very bland and not a shred of coconut taste shame as last time the Korma was excellent

sauce was bland , food not particularly hot, naan was overcooked. late delivery. Sadly not as good as normal

The staff, service and food never disappoint. We have been going to Kardamom for over 10 years, know them so well.

Very decent curry for decent price. Superb polite and helpful service ✌️. Nothing fancy, nothing to be disappointed about it. Solid curry house.

Lovely food as always and great friendly service

This restaurant is consistently excellent. It’s that simple. Plus all the staff are just so lovely.

This was the latest of many visits to this restaurant and every time the food is them the same quality and so Is the service

Curry very watery the worst I've tasted

Love this restaurant. The staff are genuinely friendly and very professional... We have eaten here many times...

Excellent food and great service

Delicious Indian food in a pleasant setting with extremely friendly service.

This is our favourite Indian but last night was a let down. My chicken was very very hard struggled to cut and being very pregnant didn’t feel safe eating it. Onion barji was very soft and stodgy, didn’t eat our meals, I’m sure we will return one day. Just won’t be in the near future.

Best I’ve had! The lamb is amazing.

First time here, would definitely go back .

Dropped in after a few drinks. Place was buzzing, service and the food was superb. Easy five stars and a big thank you to the staff!

Fantastic food and always great and friendly service, we eat here atleast once a week and have never had a bad meal. Highly recommended

It was delivered on time but the food was barely warm. Very disappointed!:

Food was unfortunately Luke warm at best and all had to be microwaved and we had to ring and check on the order as it hadn’t been delivered after an hour and a half.

Whether we meet up with friends or it's just the two us, the food and service is always great.

The food was excellent, and the Gourmet Evening on a Sunday made it very good value as well.

Great dining experience. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Food is great as is the service. Don't have to wait too long but good gap between courses.

Went in. The waiter looked us down and told us to sit down and wait for a table when there was not a single soul in the restaurant and all tables were empty.

Fantastic place. Great food. Very clean. Wonderful staff. Good prices. Definitely be returning.

Lovely food, very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Pretty much all we missed over the last year and finally got a chance to return. Has anything changed? Is the same Chef here? Will it be all that we remembered? No, Yes and yes. Is this the ultimate in Indian food in MK? Must be, is it perfect? No, but it's as close as I have encountered in 40+ years of looking. UPDATE...Last 2 visits have been disappointing after years of perfect food/service. Chewy chicken, no spice, tiny portion and then service so slow as to be unacceptable, not even a third full yet it took an hour to even take our order - how about not answering the phone before you have dealt with people that have bothered to travel to your restaurant? Hate to say this but 3 strikes and you're out. UPDATE 2, returned last weekend and food was back to it's high standards, logged in tonight to remove my negative comments only to find the nasty reply below from the owner. You clearly would recognise me if I met you in the restuarant, I have spent well over a £1000 with you over the last 3-4 years and have NEVER asked for freebies,in fact I used to tip your waiters handsomely, your reply has cost you my business.

Best curry house around and has been for years. Eat in or get a takeaway. You won’t be dissatisfied.

Couldn't recommend this restaurant enough. Food is excellent quality and very tasty, plus efficient service. The staff are really lovely, especially the last few times when we have taken our 2 year old with us, they have been very accommodating and welcoming to us and it's nice to know we can take her out to eat with us.

A brilliant Indian Restaurant. Service is absolutely second to none and the quality of the food is superb. If I dine in or have a takeaway, I am never disappointed. Throughly recommend!

Love this restaurant! Had a few takeaways which have all been delicious. Finally visited with some friends on a Friday evening a couple of weeks ago, the staff were really welcoming and accommodating. We all had a brilliant evening. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Excellent food and staff are amazing nothing to much trouble

Waited a little while but was delivered before quoted delivery time but bear in mind the quoted time was over an hour from when I ordered. Food was fine although did find the madras a little bland and not as spicy as I usually expect.

Polite wonderful service, beautiful tasty food, generous portions, and a fair price. Try the dhansak.

Last night we spent £70 on a take away. It's was the worst we have ever had. The meal was warm, not hot. We had 3 onion barges, no salad, and no mint and yogurt sauce. 8 poppadoms with only 4 pots of relish. Vert very disappointed.

Great menu offering a varied selection. All the food we had, a party of 8,was freshly cooked and tasty. Veggies, vegans and omnivores all happy. Professional staff and a relaxed atmosphere made for a good evening.

Fantastic flavours all arrived hot and very tasty

Not the usual delicious food was not there best will still order though. Hoping it was just a busy night

I’m sure covid and Brexit has something to do with it… The sauce and rice was nice but, the chicken was as tough as an alligator covered in crocodile skin boots. Couldn’t eat it. Samosas, they’re meant to be crispy coated parcels of meat (or veg), the pastry was soft like an undercooked omelette. Don’t know what they were to be honest. It’s good to try new places but it also gives you the insight to never go back.

One of the best take-a-ways they dont scrimp on quality or items like others are due to increase of living

Superb food, good service, struggled with how long it took to serve food

We have always enjoyed food from here, but tonight found both dishes had a lack of flavour and the chicken was dry. Really disappointed.
