Marina Spice Lounge in Dacorum

Great food and outstanding service. Thankyou to mohammed for making the night. £15 for a starter, main, side and rice!!

Hadn’t been to this restaurant for a while and decided that as we were in walking distance to Apsley Marina that we would book up a meal there for my birthday, booked online via their website, all confirmed, but when we got there, much to our disappointment it was closed!! Have since found out that it has been closed for sometime and re located, but why still continue to show pics of restaurant at the Marina and why still call it ‘Marina’ spice lounge? all very confusing. Having said that, we did order a takeaway, through ‘just eat’ a few weeks prior and were very impressed with the food and service, just want to warn other potential customers that want to dine in, they are no longer in the beautiful setting of Apsley lock, unless it’s just a refurbishment??

Just had our monthly gathering at the marina spice lounge hemel, food and service was exceptional , highly recommend, try this restaurant if you haven't yet. Fantastic Experience Overall.

Food was very nice, but Manager needs to learn some etiquette. It was like eating out at an eighties style curry house. Great location by the marina.

We went for evening meal here , a group 9 . 8 adults and 1 child . What can I say the food , service , and atmosphere was lovely . A really enjoyable evening . 1st time here , but definitely going again .

Whilst I still enjoy this restaurant on my visits when in the area, I cannot believe price now charged for a bottle of Cobra at £6.95. I travel all around the country and inevitably end up in an Indian at least twice a week and this is the most expensive Cobra I have been charged, can’t believe this is justified even at todays cost of living.

Staying in the holiday inn express. Didn’t know where to go and tried the local Indian the food was nice the popadoms and pinion, mint and mango was truly the best I’ve ever had. Starters of mixed kebab and bhajis were soooo nice. Kids had korma and really enjoyed it we ordered makhani and it was not the best really runny and colourless but we normally like spicier food but opted for safe deffo would not order it again. Staff were amazing but the whole experience was really good.

Amazing food , amazing service and it was so lovely ! They really looked after me and my friends and it was nice food

Used this restaurant frequently has now changed ownership I think & had 2 meals on different days both awful tried to pH & talk to them about the order which shouldn't have been but was so hot it was inedible they told us we were wrong????????sauce for byriani different from menu ?? awful food awful service such a shame was a good curry b4 new chef/owners

Food was excellent and so was the service! The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere and is in a great location being in Apsley Marina. Highly recommend!

Lovely location, good food, good setting, chicken was slightly dry though. Waiting staff are lovely and very friendly 😊

It was an amazing dinner with the family, the hospitality was great and the food was superb Definitely coming again

This is our go-to Indian restaurant in hemel Hempstead. They do both great dine-in and takeaway food and are always friendly.

Great food and service, no faults at all. A great restaurant with great options for a larger group. Will definitely be back!

Visited as part of a large group and we were seated very quickly. Great service and great food and would visit again if inbthe area.

A great find , tucked away by the canal, a relaxed meal and great taste………….. Loved the lamb dish and a great pint of cobra.

Excellent food and staff. Great indian food . Authentic food and great taste . Staff is nice and helpful. The restaurant is near to holiday inn

Fantastic service by the chaps in the front and amazing tasty food from the chaps in the kitchen! Prawn purée was amazing!

Food was really nice, normal pricing, good portions and host was very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely return if in the area.

The service was top notch and the food was excellent. Also in a very nice location next to the river. Bobby was a humorous waiter that kept us laughing and enjoying our experience. Definitely worth a visit!

Great food, lovely staff and amazing choice on the menu, hot and delicious food! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to have an Indian meal

We visited as a first outing since having our baby 3 months ago. Bobby demonstrated immense resilience in dealing with the ‘banter’ from my partner, who has been incessantly winding him up for the many visits we have made to Marina Spice Lounge during the...

First visit to Hemel Hempstead. Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express for a Harry Potter Tour visit. SO glad we stumbled across the Marina Spice restaurant just across the canal bridge. Service was fantastic. Food was AMAZING (lamb tikka balti is my personal recommendation), cooked...

A great visit, lovely food and friendly staff. A nice peaceful area along the canal. Highly recommend.

Takeaway - £27, curry had some kind of gross processed chicken. Unfortunately, nearly all curry houses seem to be doing this - a rip off,

Just had an uber delivery from this restaurant Omg I've never tasted lamb pasanda so wrong in my life just tasted of to much coconut the sauce was lumpy and the lamb was bland. Chips were soggy and naan bread can't find words to describe...

Visited midweek one evening. Very good food, Butter Lamb and Garlic Naan excellent. Nice relaxed environment and friendly staff.

After a hard day at work, this was a nice place to stop and eat, whilst letting the world go by. Really nice staff, who made us feel really welcome. The food was excellent and we ate outside beside the canal.

We had a really nice time, really good food, very friendly and fun waiter. Although one of the rice dishes (mushroom rice) was quite oily, taste was ok. Thank you, we will come again x

I was away with work this evening & had been recommended to come here by one of my colleagues! I was not disappointed!! Bobby made me feel extremely comfortable as I was dining alone & the food was some of the best Indian food I...

First time dining in here and it was just lovely. We came in quite late in the evening and Bobbi was very accommodating and friendly. Food was so tasty and honestly think its the best curry house in the area

This was one of the best experience i have had at a indian restaurant. The food was mitchalin quality and the service was second to none. I do not live in the area but will definitely travel just to come back for the house special...

Lovely meal, friendly & good service, will definitely be returning & would highly recommend. Really enjoyed the food.

The place was empty and cold. Despite choosing house specials both starter and main was tasteless. What was worse was the lack of service and standards for a not cheap restaurant. Plates were dirty and had to be replaced. Table had no cloth and was...

Excellent value for money and great recommendations from Bobby our waiter. Would definitely recommend. Food was of a top quality.

I did visit this restaurant about 3 years ago and thought it was poor, but after reading the recent positive reviews I thought that I must try again, all I can say is this place was absolutely dreadful for both food and service coupled with...

Gorgeous food, I orded the garlic fish with some garlic nan bread and it was immaculate! Lovely service along with it, with complimentary drinks!

This place exceeded all expectations and the staff were so welcoming, particularly Bobby who noticed we weren’t from the area! Bobby was welcoming, funny and very attentive - even recommended a curry based on our initial order. You must try the garlic lamb Bhuna! This...

Loved this place! Edge of lockdown cancellations did not dampen the spirit this place. Great food, house staff made up for the quiet ambience, as people stayed away. More importantly, food top notch.Highly recommend even when quiet.

Bobby went out his way to make a curry of a description I gave him. And the end result was perfect Cheers

Wonderful food and absolutely incredible service. A must visit! Thank you team marina spice lounge!! Loved it! X

Excellent food and very friendly and attentive service. It was our first time eating here and would definitely come back again 👍

A great restaurant to find! The food was tasty and the set menu was very good value. We really didn't need to add poppadums as there was plenty of food.

The food is incredible and the service matches. We have never had a bad meal here and they always go above and beyond to make sure pur experience is a great one
