The first time I visited Spice lounge, just before covid we had some very nice foods.we even tooaway some for friends. This second time,the lamb tandoori was tough and not well cooked.it was still red inside so was the lamb in tikka masala. The biryani sauce was tasteless.No salt The Aloo potatoes were half done.The servicewas excellent and place nice clean.

We had a fantastic time. They managed to accommodate all 23 of us with ease. The set menu we were offered was well thought of, and all of the food was delicious. The staff was very polite and attentive. Thank you

Nice place. Food was good, but generally lacking in spice. Everything was mild. However, the big issue was service. Booked for 7pm and we were early, and then we were rushed through with waitress pushing us to take next course before we were ready. At end, she took plates and then cleaned table whilst we were still talking. In context, we had not been offered desert at that point. We had paid and left by just after 730! Very expensive for bland food and poor service.

So disappointed, went with friends Saturday night and only 6 people in there! Freezing cold as front door open and closing. Food shocking, raw veg in that I couldn't recognise, ordered sharing starter for £15 and the other couples single starter was far more food for price! So many under whelming dishes I must have had an off day? Staff friendly, price was crazy nearly £90 per couple would not recommended unfortunately very sad.

Quite possibly the worst curry I’ve ever had… Basically none of the food was fresh and charged ridiculous prices! Popadoms weren’t fresh (store bought), rice was a packet rice and the curry tasted like it came out of a jar. Definitely do not recommend this to anyone..

Had a great meal with 3 friends. The food was very nice. Poppadoms were excellent. The table was too small ( for 3)for the food, so it was cramped. Staff excellent. January 4th I'm back. Warm welcome. Lovely music in background with flute. Solo visit. Very nice. Ordered a few different starters as not too hungry. Again, the staff very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere as only me and a table of 4 the other side. 2 staff constantly walk around in anticipation of a request from only 5 customers. Gotta give them 11 out of 10 for service.

My college and I dropped in to Spice Lounge on a Monday evening around 10.30.Although they were probably getting close to closing they made us feel very welcome and the food we ordered was the best Indian food I have ever tasted. I have been to many many Indian restaurants but the food here was the best of all. We hope to return soon when we are in Oxford again Many thanks to everyone at The Spice Lounge

As an undergraduate student my friends and I wanted to get takeaway but the manager was very kind to let us eat in with takeaway prices and served us very kindly and the wait was not long. The crunchy papadums came with mint with curd, mango chutney and onions. 😋 I ordered the Chicken Biryani and it was delicious, a good mix of spicy, savoury and hearty and it was incredibly filling. My friends really enjoyed their paneer, tikka masala and makhan too. They were so happy. Music was great and service superb! Highly recommend!

I often drive all the way from Witney to get a takeaway from Spice Lounge, that should tell you how good it is! Excllent quality food and the staff are brilliant. I've never had a bad meal from here. Its always delicious, you can tell it is fresh and the ingredients are good quality, you'd need to go London or Birmingham to find an Indian restaurant of equivalent level. Easily the best Indian in Oxford!

Food is as good as the service. We call it the “top-up curry” because the leftovers beg a top up order the following evening. We want to eat this curry for days and embarrassingly have. Such nice people - tikka masala and prawns are 😍

I got a takeaway from here because it had good reviews but was really disappointed with the quality. The lamb was chewy and tough, the sauce was greasy and had a long hair in it, the tarka dahl had no taste at all - it could have been water. The one star is for the poppadoms which were good.

Fantastic service and great portion sizes I think let down slightly by prices. It's the most expensive Indian I've had in a long time and with only one main dish, rice, one naan, a sharing starter and a drink each I was surprised it came to nearly £60! I'd highly recommend the Vege sharing starter and our main was a little oily.

Unfortunately it wasn't a great dining experience. The food was very nice but the service was very slow. They had run out of all diet soft drinks, we waited 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive. The dining room is really noisy as everywhere has hard surfaces, the sound from other tables just bounces all around the dining room, you can hardly hear people on your table. I had to ask the waiters to repeat themselves multiple times due to the noisy environment. Nice food but I wouldn't dine in again.

Our favourite go to place in Oxford for a good hearty indian curry. We love the chicken tikka massala and chicken madras curries with garlic naan bread. Popadoms with chutneys are superb. Also highly recommend a good massala tea to end that meal. Waiters and owner are always extremely friendly and welcoming. It is always a pleasure to dine at this authentic indian restaurant! To top it off we are often treated with some complimentary digestive drink at the end which really make us feel special. Being myself indian I can say that this is a good quality curry house!

I have dined in to this below average restaurant and I was going to leave a review a few weeks ago. I am looking for the option to leave ZERO STARS! Unfortunately, there is no option. The food is of poor quality, nothing authentic about it and the temperature of the food was cold. The starters seemed stale as it looked precooked...they definitely serve reheated and nothing fresh. The spice levels is not upto the authentic Indian standards. Such a waste of money! These people do not know how to cook and the service wasn't great either. There is a manager/owner running around like a hen and smiling because he knows he's robbing people. As a food critic, my only recommendation for this place is to come here to burn your money out or purposely give out charity. There are many restaurants in London, Lancashire, Northamptonshire even the curry capital Brick Lane is much more recommended! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

The food was amazing and the service was too. We started with papadam with three sauces plus a fresh onion salad, then had the meat sampler, spinach with chickpeas, and Naan. We had ordered more items but the waiter paced it so that we could decline what we didn't need. The ingredients were fresh and the seasoning was exceptional. I wish I could eat here more often, and strongly recommend it.

We were put right next to a very noisy party of 30+ people when there were empty tables at the other end of the restaurant. The food was very average, I had a curry with what they called a tandoori rosti nearly (£4) It was actually a 10p pita bread cut up. To cap it all off we were presented with the bill which they had already added £6 service charge. I promptly told them to remove it and the manager looked very disgruntled. I noticed the party table were also presented with the 10% charge added to their bill which must of been over £100 they were horrified. Im not sure if they paid it as I left asap. I suggest this place is avoided at all costs, im not even sure if what they are doing is legal. For me it's utterly disgusting how they hope you won't ask to have it removed out of embarrassment . Awful way to run a business 😕

This place is a bit hit and miss. Some dishes are tasty and good VfM whilst others are lacking for example the sad vegetable samosas for £4.45 - see picture. Sag paneer starter meanwhile is a happier experience for £4.75. See picture. The takeaway option could also do with improved packaging or in good old foil or fashionable wax cardboard trays - far more sustainable either way than disposable lunch boxes.

The food we got was of the highest quality. The service was polite helpful and quick. Prices for the location was reasonable and overall good value for money. We had excellent onion bargees , and chicken tikka start. Rogan Josh and Goan King prawn mains with a cauliflower bargee side. Good side salade and free poppadoms. £39.05. all very tasty and unlike many Indian takeaway not at all oily. Recommended.
