Spice Lounge in West Oxfordshire

Superb food, excellent service and great atmosphere! When my family get together in the UK we always come to The Spice Lounge for a curry one night and it is always outstanding. Had a really lovely waving there tonight and were made to feel very welcome. It is always busy which is testament to how good it is!

My friends and I from the USA came for the second night in a row…..Awesome Indian Restaurant !!! Sam is a great guy…! Best Indian around …Will be back ..5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always come back to the Spice Lounge when we are in Burford. It is the most amazing place to eat Indian/Bangladeshi food we have ever experienced around the world. The flavours are beyond words. We always recommend this restaurant to our guests and friends and they all tell us how wonderful they found it. Many thanks and congratulations for the very best Asian food experience.

Spice Lounge in Burford was a major letdown. The food was bland, completely lacking spice or flavor, which is the bare minimum you’d expect from Indian cuisine. The cheese naan arrived with the cheese still cold and unmelted, and everything else was overly greasy. This was, without question, the worst Indian meal we’ve ever had. Would not recommend.

Great evening at Spice Lounge. Quality food and quality service.

Lovely meal had here very friendly staff Jay served us and we enjoyed his hospitality. The rest of the team were friendly too. Food was very nice. Would recommend

Best Indian food, the garlic mango chutney was something I’ve never had and it was amazing

Visited on a number of occasions - really delicious food every time. Succulent meat, flavoursome sauces. Have tried the chicken jalfreizi, naga, lamb saag, can recommend all of them!

Absolutely delicious meal during a weekend away with friends. I'm Gluten and Dairy Free and the lovely gentleman who served us told me EXACTLY everything I could and could not eat. Thank you so much for your care and attention, Spice Lounge. Wish I lived nearer so I could be a regular 😊

We had a fabulous meal at the Spice lounge last night. I booked for a table of 12 for a birthday and we were not disappointed, the service was brilliant, the food delicious, a great atmosphere in a lovely setting. The staff were polite and very helpful and looked after the group very well, not having to wait for drinks or food. The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious and all will definitely be back for another meal.

My favourite Indian restaurant with the best food friendly staff and not to mention the owner goes above and beyond 5star

Excellent evening atmosphere with very good customer service and delicious food. Definitely returning absolutely recommended.

It’s not a bad place and the food is ok, but it’s cramped. Very cramped. The lime pickle was mostly oil

Best curry ever. Portions huge and good price. What more could you want

Amazing as always. We gave been coming here for around 10 years and gave NEVER been dissapointed.

Came on holiday to Burford and as tradition in our family we always try out the local Indian. We were amazed by the kind manners of all the waiters and the food was spectacular. Very good sized portions as well! Definitely will be coming back.

Great restaurant with outstanding service The food is absolutely beautiful and presented at the table with pride and care Highly recommended without hesitation

"We have been coming to this restaurant for the past 10 years, and the service has always been top-notch, comparable to a 7-star experience. I admire the owner and his team for maintaining such consistent excellence. Honestly, this is my favorite spot for Indian food. I've tried so many Indian restaurants, and coming from Malaysia and living in Singapore, I’ve traveled to many places, but this one truly stands out as the best. The food, service, atmosphere, and cleanliness are all outstanding. This review comes from someone who genuinely loves Buford, Cotswolds. We both wish them all the best!"

The best tasting Indian cuisine we’ve experienced for many years. And the friendliest and most efficient service to go with it. Well recommended.

This is my favourite Indian Restaurant - fantastic food, great service and always a warm welcome.

Group of 10 visited last night 19/10/24 Lovely fresh food, plenty of choice Portion size just right Friendly n helpful staff without exception nothing too much trouble It was busy all night tables turned around quickly n efficiently Look at all the reviews, visit here n tell me the reviews are wrong 10/10 Def be returning

There’s nowhere else we would like to be than the SPICE LOUNGE in Burford..the whole family love the food and wonderful friendly owners and colleagues....the food is amazing every time we go and the atmosphere and happy environment is fantastic...we have been frequenting them for many years and have celebrated many birthdays, christmases, hen and stag nights, anniversaries and just great night outs. We would all recommend the Spice Lounge 100% .😃😘❤️

Loved this Bangladeshi restaurant in Burford. Food was truly excellent. The lamb jalfrezi for example was one of the best I’ve ever eaten (and yes, I’ve eaten quite a few). Attention to detail first class (I.e. very hot food served on pre-heated plates). Service unobtrusive but attentive. Highly recommended!

Loved it , great tasting food. Even though felt slightly rushed.

One of the best curries in the best atmosphere with the lovely setting of burford... The staff are super friendly and very accommodating. Would highly recommend going to the spice lounge. Many thanx Kim and justin.

Not as grand as it appears on the website, but agreeable and comfortable. Service very pleasant but inexpert. Waiter did not know how to pour wine, nor for that matter, water: one glass overfilled. And after the meal, clearing remining food snd stacking dishes should not be done at table. Papadoms unevenly cooked. Food presentation fine, sensible quantities of decent but somewhat underflavoured dishes. Could benefit from some competition

I recently stayed in Burford for work, and Spice Lounge was the only place open for food after 9 PM. I grabbed a takeaway and was absolutely blown away by the quality of the meal. I ordered the Lamb Methi, and it was truly outstanding—rich in flavor, with tender, high-quality pieces of meat and an irresistible aroma. The next evening, I dined in, and my experience got even better. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent. Spice Lounge has definitely earned a repeat visit from me!

Best onion bhaji we have tasted. We ordered madras korma and rice for mains Amazing food and a brilliant atmosphere in this beautiful Cotswold town of Burford. We will definitely visit again when we come to the Cotswold

ordered onion bargie starter best i have ever tasted , can say the same for the tarka daal and tender lamb mild curry .service was very quick and efficient by friendly staff.

Really impressed. Easily sits in my top 5 curry restaurants I've eaten in.

best curry ever the lamb was so tender

A really nice Sunday night dinner here. Easy to book and reserve online. Warm welcome, nice cosy atmosphere. Very friendly and polite staff. Starters and mains were both good. I had the onion pakhora/bhaji for starter, and the chicken biryani for main (which comes with a side order of delicious tarka dal). Cobra beer to wash it all down with, and my wife had a respectable Australian Pinot Grigio white wine. I finished with the ras malai, that was fresh and delicious. Can definitely recommend.

Absolute 10 out of 10 curry. Reasonably priced. Perfectly cooked and delicious. Birthday dinner treat for 4, Mains and sides selected and the portions so generous we've got enough for dinner again tomorrow!

Amazing food and amazing service. Food very fresh and tasty a very good Indian. Totally recommend this restaurant we actually went twice.

Stayed down in Burford for work with my colleagues and we ended up eating at this lovely place almost every single evening! Amazing food and customer service, I cannot recommend this place enough!

Very tasty, fresh raw material, generous portions, quick serving, absolutely lovely and professional waiters. What else?

Had a wonderful meal with my wife on our anniversary, As a local in Burford we are planning to visit more often and look forward to trying different dishes, Just one thing we applied for spice club membership but to date have had no response.

Great spot, one of the best curry houses I’ve visited. You can tell there is some actual love and care put into the dishes rather than just generic curry sauce and cubes of meat with a different name. Garlic Chilli Chicken is outstanding.

The food was amazing, service was good. I want to add more things they have a very clean washroom. The staff of the restaurant are very friendly.

The food and services was very good 👍. Recommended to everyone.

We visited on a Wednesday evening and the place was packed creating a great atmosphere, despite this the staff were very accommodating at finding us a table even though we hadn't booked. The food was fantastic, one of the best Indian restaurants I have visited in the UK, would highly recommend!

A wonderful restaurant. Excellent food and superb service; Jay in particular was a great host. We were there on Sunday evening and the place was really busy with a great vibe, so this says a lot about the quality of the place.

Probably the best Bangladeshi / Indian food we have eaten in a long, long time. This was an absolute highlight of our stay in Burford. What looks like a small venue opens up like the Tardis inside to a wonderfully attired restaurant. The food is superb and the staff as friendly and discretely attentive as you could wish for. If I lived nearer I would certainly be visiting this place extremely frequently.

Outstanding food and service. Best food and curry ever. Thanks to all at the Spice Lounge

Despite arriving at a very busy time the waiting staff at the Spice Lounge Burford were very attentive. A special mention goes out to Emon who made time to have a chat and ensured we were well looked after. The food was very tasty with the Onion bhaji starter the best we have had in a long time.

Went with friends after work for a meal. The food was absolutely amazing. Their Chef is a master cook. We had the Lamb dish. Very friendly staff. Very cosy atmosphere. You won't be disappointed. Looking forward to going back.

What a lovely experience I just had at this lovely restaurant. The hospitality was phenomenal, the food was best to none and the location is wonderful. Ticking all the boxes for a wholesome evening with good food and good people. Highly recommended.

was absolutely amazing food and service was very good

Sensational beautiful food…. Cannot speak highly enough - NEW CHEF has sent this place into a new stratosphere - Just stunning 😘😘😘😘 Jay, you were amazing and so helpful in choosing dishes off the menu 🫶🫶🫶🫶

Food was amazing, Especially the lamb dishes!! Highly recommend

We called in here for lunch whilst visiting Burford & had a delicious chicken biriyani. At £15.95, it was definitely value for money, as eating out in Burford is very expensive, £18 for sausage & mash in one place, so we we were very pleased with our choice. Lovely, relaxed surroundings & very pleasant staff, I can definitely recommend it.

Lovely, a really lovely little Indian with wonderful food, service and priced well.

Goed Indiaas restaurant aan de hoofdstraat van Burford. Behoorlijk prijzig, dus vandaar 3 bolletjes vanwege de prijs-kwaliteit verhouding (kwaliteit is dus goed). Er is boven ook ruimte.

Excellent service, great food options, excellent quality food - highly recommended

It was a scrumptious dinner. Amount of dish was a little bit small in amount for three of us. Two kebabs chicken and boti was there. I forgot its name. It was an amazing experience of Bangladeshi restaurant in an english village. Cotswold.

An excellent Indian restaurant. You can tell the staff care about the food and service, both of which were excellent. Not a huge choice of dishes but all the usual suspects are catered for. Service was prompt and very efficient despite the restaurant being very busy when we visited on a Friday night, just as well we pre booked. Would recommend this restaurant for a break from the traditional pub fare offered in the area.

We moved up from Wales a while ago and have tried many curry restaurants but we found this one and always have a friday takeaway but last night we had a sit down meal and I must say it was outstanding the service was amazing we had a wonderful evening we definitely recommend you try this restaurant 😀

We were a group of five, dropping in without a reservation. Very good Indian food, large menu, good portion size, well served, and fairly priced.

My favourite Indian. It's not local to me but always worth the trip. Amazing food. Good prices and lovely atmosphere in an evening.

The food was really nice and tasty. The naan bread was one of the best I’ve had. Staff friendly and good service. Reasonable prices and in a great location. Would recommend to others.

Super tasty food. Menu does not have my go to lamb madras so opted for the Naga lamb. Asked the waiter to dumb down the heat a bit and the message landed in the kitchen. Heat at a madras level and packed full of flavour. The guys in the kitchen clearly know what they are doing, lamb was perfectly prepared and succulent, good depth in all the food I tasted. The service was terrific, this restaurant is well worth the visit if in the area and looking for a delicious meal. A succulent Indian meal.

Lovely food ,good service friendly staff.

Excellent food. Very friendly service. Loved it

Food is fresh and authentic. Would visit again

A very pleasant evening spent in this restaurant this evening with fast and efficient service. A cuisine full of flavor. It was excellent. THANKS. I can only recommend booking a table and going...

We had an excellent meal. Great location and team. It’s a busy little restaurant so best to book.

Incredible food, very good service. Best curry I have had.

Fantastic service food was amazing and staff were very nice polite and friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

I called in after a long day out to grab something on the way home, my first visit to Spice Lounge. Food was served incredibly quickly and was piping hot when I got home with eat I had poppadom, mixed starter and lamb methi. It was absolutely delicious and full of flavour. Really fabulous food and good portion. Meat was tender, sauce was full of great flavours. The little sauces and tub of onion with the poppadom was very tasty too The restaurant looked really nice with a lovely atmosphere so I will definitely try a visit soon to eat in when I have company The only thing I would like to politely suggest (and it isn't a criticism, all places seem to do this) is that it would be great to have a rice in a really small little tub. I can't eat a whole tub on my own but I'd like a small portion on the side but it isn't worth ordering a normal size, but would be nice to have really small tubs for single diners? Will be back soon and looking forward to working through the menu as my mouth is watering thinking about what I ate last night. Taken me a long time to find a takeaway/restaurant with such good food, and this is it

Food very very good and portion size very healthy. Recommended

Visited here last night..food was beautiful and probably the best madras I've ever had and I've had a good few. .hospitality great. Would definitely recommend . Will definitely be back when visiting burford again. Thankyou

Amazing food, probably the best curry I have had in a restaurant. Big portions. Lots of veg in the dish I got, which is great! Quick and very friendly service.

We had the chicken tikka starter with a korma and chicken Shashlik rice and naan. The food was really fresh and tasty, the service was excellent. In common with a lot of places now there is a 10% service charge. With our couple of soft drinks each, it was just over £70 for two of us, so a little on the pricey side, I would, however, recommend.

Had a cracking meal tonight, everything about it was well cooked and very tasty

Delicious food including proper rich homemade raita (instead of just out of bottle like most places). Excellent vegetarian selection. Nice people. We had a take away and it had a few unexpected extras they'd slipped in. Thanks!

Really love the food and atmosphere here. The staff are so friendly! It’s a fab spot for a night out in Burford.

VERY tasty food, excellent staff, very friendly and welcoming. So polite thank you our food was so delicious.

Food is amazing, but check the bill before payment, they charged few items we didn't have .I noticed too late to return.

Superb as usual! Really love coming here when we have a family get together as we all love curry (and are all keen cooks) and are not disappointed.

Nothing not to like. Great food and warm welcoming atmosphere. Very quick service though, barely any gap between starter and main and we were on our way home in less than an hour. It was impressively full on a weekday evening, seemingly full of regulars who seemed happy devotees. Would go again .

Our family of five were staying nearby in a holiday cottage and saw good reviews for here on Tripadvisor and so we decided to order a takeaway (collection). With three children it can be easier to eat in in the evenings when they’re getting tired. I had a vegetable madras which is my usual order and it was the best one I’ve had in a long time. Very tasty. Everything we ordered was fantastic. I just wish you were local to our home :) Will be back if we’re ever in the area again.

Our favourite Indian restaurant! Food is fantastic, the restaurant is super clean with a great atmosphere and the staff are super friendly, they all make you feel welcome and cannot do enough to make your experience enjoyable. Love this place!

The short menu, still has something for everyone. Efficient service, friendly welcome. Great meeting place for me with a group of mates from all over

I cannot speak highly enough of Spice Lounge Burford! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly by the staff who provided exceptional service throughout our dining experience. The food was simply impeccable – bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Each dish showcased the chef's expertise and dedication to quality ingredients. The staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring that every need was met promptly and with a smile. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Spice Lounge Burford is a culinary gem not to be missed. Highly recommend!

An impromptu evening spent in Burford and a Quick Look in trip advisor led us to this lovely little restaurant. Amazing food, friendly and efficient service. Felt like we’d been a customer for years. Great value too.

The best curry house I’ve ever been to. Would love to go more!

Wonderful food and service. Friendly staff and great wine choice too. We will definitely return the next time we're visiting Burford.

Visiting for the weekend. Looked very nice from the outside. Food was average and very over priced for certain items such as rice and bread. Averaging £6 each. Owner was very abrupt after asking for service charge to be removed due to the lack of service.

As we were entering, a takeaway customer told us we wouldn't be disappointed and he was right. Curries were tasty and nicely spiced with a range of heats. I'd happily go back anytime.

One of the most tasteless curries I have ever had. Room lacked atmosphere, staff very casual and inattentive. Pricey as well.

We went in without a booking on Friday evening. They advised nothing would be available for 90 minutes. So glad we waited. They said call after an hour to see if we could get in earlier. Really dood food and excellent service. They take pride in both. Will be back.

Best curry house in the Cotswolds. Freshly Cooked and stunning flavour. Staff and atmosphere great. Samad, the boss is the nicest most accommodating man there is

The best curry I’ve ever had and I’m from Birmingham

A lovely restaurant in Burford, the food was excellent, full of flavour, with generous helpings of meat within the curries. The staff were really friendly, both the food and drinks were reasonably priced and the complementary chocolates and shot went down a treat. Will definitely be back!

Lovely staff and great food. Open on a Monday too- a rare find! :)

The best curry house in the Cotswolds

Lovely meal. From the unusual popadoms to the amazing tandoori prawns, amazing! Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

Fantastic service and lovely food, spicing spot on. From crisp poppadoms through to fluffy naan’s everything was great. One the best Indian meals I have ever had.

Foods , service and ambience are extraordinary. We had enjoyable experience and highly recommend for Indian fine dine .

An amazing restaurant that serves freshly prepared authentic Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine. The food, service and ambiance was fabulous and, the attention to detail was impressive. We will definitely be back.
