Lounge India Chelmsford in Chelmsford

Definitely my favourite Indian Restaurant in Chelmsford. Food is great with a good choice of classics and unusual dishes. I had the Shatkora Lamb which was perfect. Great service and free parking.

Really good food. The service was quick and friendly...BUT its got to be the most expensive curry I've ever had...easily 25-30% more than anything in the area. That could explain why the place was close to empty on a Friday night

Amazing food, staff and atmosphere. What more could you ask for. The staff are so lovely. Highly recommend and very family friendly.

Lovely quality food and the staff are very attentive.

Honestly, one of the bet Indian meals I've had in a while. 100% recommend.

Good food loads of it excellent. Good seating.

Great food bit pricey but it's good

Not like a typical Indian restaurant Better food & service Served on real china (not metal hot plates) Different dishes as well as those you are familiar with Very tasty 2 courses & 2 alcoholic drinks £45 pp with tip

we went here this evening - service was 5* - very friendly staff and nothing to much trouble - very nice people ☺️ the food is the best Indian I have ever had - it was stunning - me my partner and our 2 children loved it all - even one of them who is fussy loved the chicken tandoori - atmosphere was very pleasant - we will be back here again with out a shadow of a doubt - Thank you indian Lounge 🤗

Indians rejoice! Finally, a properly spiced BIR restaurant.

Beautiful decor, plates, table setting etc. Food was lovely, portions big.

Great food, service was very good and good pricing

Food was very good, service was good, group of 11 of us, portions were a good size, plenty of beer flowing, will mark it 8/10.

They try to rush you apart from that it was worth the visit

I thought it was incredible. About 20% higher price than competitors but worthwhile

Super yummy. Amazing service. Highly recommend!

Great food but very expensive, they need to reveiw their prices if they want to remain in buisness.

Very polite people lovely food always great coming here

The food was great. Service was great. Atmosphere was great.

We visit quite a bit and enjoy the food. Modern and clean.

Been here twice now and cannot fault the place, food is lovely, service has always been great. Definitely our new local for a nice Indian meal

Food great but very expensive Indian, place was empty probably due to price's.

Omg it so amazing the food was amazing and I will tell everyone about it and I will be coming back again and is lovely place

Slow service on a busy (full) night - Main order not taken until after starters consumed, an hour after arriving still no food on the table. When it arrives, the food is excellent. Not sure if they need a bigger kitchen, more chefs or a smaller diner count to make the service more acceptable.

Quite expensive, food wasnt very good, it didn't have a lot of favour.

This was my first visit. Everything was lovely. Food was delicious. Hope to go back very soon.

Very pleasant experience lovely kind and helpful staff food was excellent 👌

Average nothing special quite expensive

We had an excellent meal last night. It had an interesting menu but also had the usual choices. The flavours of the food were so good and the presentation was brilliant. I would recommend this restaurant and I look forward to returning soon. I recommend the Lounge India Special.

Excellent food with interesting chef's specials

Having ordered from this place several times from the takeaway, I expected a fantastic meal and had high expectations when dining in the restaurant. However, I could not have been more disappointed. Upon ordering drinks, the waiter brought over the wrong order. Upon asking him to change it to what we actually ordered, he did not acknowledge it. Twice. When trying to rectify the issue, they still messed up the order. When the food came, it was oily and greasy and overly salted. Generally, it was all bland. The Tandoori Mixed grill was lukewarm and in some areas, completely cold. It was definitely a microwave job and it definitely did not have a hint of a Tandoori flavour. In fairness to the staff they did take this item off of the bill, however after this, they proceeded to ignore us whilst we tried to get the bill and leave. Upon getting the bill, low and behold, they gave us the wrong bill too. The wait staff to put it plainly were dreadful and were clearly untrained.

First time here. Maybe our expectations was too high, we found the staff was not very welcoming as we had hoped for and felt we was rushed out because they was abit abrupt cleaning table while your talking and even scanned our card for us to pay so was abit taken by that lol. I'm sure they never meant anything by it and is a learning curve for there business though. Food is decent no denying that but in all honesty it's very pricey, London prices rather than local. I get they are trying to make a living and cost of living has gone up etc but competitors are substantially cheaper and they need to build a portfolio first. I would give them a second chance and come back as its very local to me but I will also be sticking to my usual restaurant as it's just ticking more boxes at the moment

We always have a fantastic experience when we come here. The food is absolutely delicious and high quality. Also fairly large portions, I always end up completely stuffed. The staff are helpful and friendly.

A fantastic evening enjoyed by the whole family. Gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Came out feeling very relaxed. Our first visit but will definitely be back! And would recommend.

Beautiful decor and fabulous service. Extensive menu choices. Delicious dishes, everything we ordered was really tasty and fresh. Have visited multiple times and always great. Would recommend a visit - ensure to book a table on a weekend as it gets very busy!

Excellent food excellent service. Well worth a visit

When the restaurant is busy, you may need to wait. However, when you get your order, it is delicious. Wise to book.

Mediocre nothing fancy but decent food try the royal dishes

Beautiful decor, attentive staff and fabulous food, served immaculately. Great price, a superb evdning, I can't wait to go back. Best Indian restaurant I've been to in many years.

The food is really good. However it is very pricey, It was not busy which may be a sign of the current economic climate and the high prices.

I loved the place. The food was exellent, one of the best I have ever tasted. The only down side is that I felt it was very expensive, £100 for 2 and not going ovef the top on drinks etc. Maybe its the norm these days, we dont get out much being OAP's.

Lovely food,nice decor great selection menu

3rd takeaway from here and it's still wonderful, great portions and flavour, can't beat it.

First takeaway from this relatively new restaurant. Staff were very welcoming, helpful and professional. I made the order through their app and made the order about 5:00pm and was offered a time to collect. I chose 6:45pm. The restaurant is only a mile or so from my house. I arrived at 6:45 and left with my food 2 minutes later. The quality of the food was outstanding. One of the best Indian meals I have had for a while. Will be returning. Very impressed.

Very nice meal with efficient service. Staff were very pleasant and keen to ensure we satisfied.

Pretty damn good. We will go again. A slight mix up with the order, but quickly rectified by the polite staff. A good buzz inside. I enjoyed it.

I would say this is the best Indian food in Chelmsford. Eaten here twice and had 1 takeaway, food consistently amazing, especially King prawn dansak. Service good even on a busy night and very classy decor.

Excellent all round can be a bit expensive for its location

Great food and service for a large family table, a brilliant evening.

Let down by very poor service again. This was the second time I have visited and each time the service has been very poor. We waited 2 hours to be served our main course. No real apology was given and no response to a complaint email. Such a shame as the food is lovely.

Fantastic food, fantastic location. Will definitely be coming back.

This is a Resturant to remember! Great food and staff overall. Luxury dining and a spacious resturant. Going come back again for sure!

Best Indian food I’ve had so far. Amazing

I haven't eaten at an Indian restaurant for yonks and usually dine on Indian takeaways. The food was very scrummy, the service tried very hard to make sure our experience was satisfactory and the price competitive. My current Indian takeaway choice for many years is now under threat, as they also provide a takeaway service.

Ordered take out from here. Was available exactly on time, portions were generous and probably the tastiest Indian we've had in a long time!

Excellent food very fresh and nice service.

Good parking. Warm welcome. Lovely surroundings. Food plentiful and well cooked. Tasty and well presented. Not the cheapest but good quality food. Will visit again soon.

Thought we would try this new restaurant as it had good reviews and the pictures on the website looked enticing - wrong move! There were 10 of us, of all ages, celebrating a family 21st birthday. Food was very expensive, quality was very poor, very greasy and tasteless. When we complained about our appetiser being cold, it was promptly replaced with a hot one but apart from the onion bhaji everything else was still tasteless. Order came in bits and pieces, curry but no rice or rice but no curry or no main dish at all for one of us. Funnily enough that dish - Chicken Korma - was just about the only one that when it finally arrived was hot and tasty. Garlic Nan was tasteless without a hint of garlic. I have never had such a disappointing Indian meal anywhere. They had NO desserts available at all. Service was poor even though the restaurant was quite empty. For £350 it was a rip off. A tesco microwave curry dish tastes 100% better and is a hell of a lot cheaper! We certainly won't be going there again!!

Nice Indian restaurant new to Chelmsford. Pleasant and attentive staff. Big plus having its own car park.

Tried Lounge India this evening and have to say, I was a little disappointed. To be very fair to them, my taste buds have changed somewhat since I got Cancer but have eaten my favourite: Chicken Biryani comparing it to this one and enjoyed it more at the previous restaurant than I did this time. I ordered a very, very mild Biryani but it didn’t taste as nice as previous one that tried at a different restaurant but that’s not to say maybe my taste buds have changed again! It did seem to be a bit hotter at lounge India - compared to the other one. I can say though that the chapati I had certainly wasn’t as nice as previous ones eaten, texture was a bit rubbery at Lounge India, as opposed to more of a drier/floury taste of previous ones (as it should be). That I can say in all honesty - not as nice. I tried to change my order before it was brought out to a cheesy Naan but told it was too late. My fault though but wish they had done this for me. Nice to get the extra’s given to me (which is usual in most Indian restaurants) dips, popadoms, raw onion etc., but sadly I personally couldn’t give it top marks. Staff were very polite and there appeared to be lots of them - so waiting times was cut to a minimum. I will however, return to the previous restaurant to compare again - as I think it only fair to do this. I would like to then come back and leave feedback again and if wrong, I’ll be the first to say so. So why am I leaving feedback now? Because as a new business, I think it important to give early feedback so customers can quickly compare both restaurants. The other was in little Baddow. I’ve not left the name at this point. I would however like to wish good luck to Lounge India and as said, if I’ve been unfair to them, I will apologise profusely., and will be the first to say so upon my return.

Won't be ordering from here again. I asked how many chipatis we get per portion (£3.95!), was told 2, got 1! Ditto how many onion bhajis we get per portion (£5.50!), was told 3 and got 2! The meat platter should include king prawn but we got 2 chicken wings instead. I do not like chicken wings and was not told this would happen. The meat platter should have lamb chops (plural) but only one was in there, and not even nice. We weren't told by the system they use that the order was ready to collect, but we went up there early so it would be hot when we collected, only to find it was already just sitting there, so it wasn't hot. Even with a 25% discount for collection it is extremely pricey! Thought we would give it a go as it's new in our area, but no, not worth the prices at all.

Mediocre at best - average Indian food alot better around Chelmsford

Ordered a take away, service was very good and friendly, food was very nice.. would happily use again.. Thank you

The best Indian restaurant in Chelmsford! We had an amazing meal here. The staff are lovely and smile. All staff looked so smart and were attentive and professional. It’s obvious They take a pride in all they do. The food was beautifully presented, plentiful, hot and sooo fresh and tasty. The atmosphere was lovely and the decor was beautiful. We will definitely return and recommend to others!

Just had our first takeaway, staff very good, food amazing and looking forward to going next week.

Excellent meal and very friendly staff. I hope you do well

Very expensive, order was wrong. Four main dishes two sides and 4 breads £111

Went on opening night (Sunday) and the food was amazing. The building has been renovated so well it now is so classy inside (compared to when it was the eagle pub) the atmosphere was so welcoming and lovely to dine in. The staff where extremely attentive and helpful. Will 100% be back and couldn’t recommend this place any more. 10/10 One thing I did notice not many vegetarian/ vegan options luckily this didn’t work effect me and my family

I have been to that restaurant, food was okay but nothing special but price is bit high. Service was so foor.

Michelin star ⭐️ rated food, presentation and decor of food was outstanding, each dishes had its own flavour. Best Menu and food in Chelsmford!!!! Will return soon
