Spice Lounge in Watford

This will be the forst and last time i go in this restaurant .Way too Expensive and food cannot be worst than this.Chef has to buy a packet of salt after reminder by the staff.They have completely forgot to put salt in my Jalfrezii..And charged me £12 for Paneer Jalfrezi without any hesitation.The atmosphere was allright and gave nlce atmosphere to enjoy the meal.But the main concern and their negative sode is their food and expense..Never ever back to this place

Alway worth the drive 20 mile round trip

Good food good service..would definitely be back..

The Best curry I have found in the UK

Ordered a chciken biryani probably the best I have have delivery was quick driver was Polite highly recommend these guys

Ordered a delivery, I ordered medium but way too spicy, I had half my chicken dish took out at least 6 chillies, ate 1 piece of chicken as too hot! My partner had a mild but couldn’t eat as too hot, my roti was undercooked!

Amazing food and amazing service. Would strongly recommend

About as good a hotel, as a threshers is for an AA meeting!

Extremely tasty. Great sized portions. Arrived perfectly hot. 5 star delivery - thank you!

Had a couple of takeaways from here and always been excellent so we thought we would try going in for a change and so pleased we did! Outstanding friendly service and amazing food as always, big portions and plenty left to take home and have the next day 😋 lovely and spicy and warm plates and piping hot food. Just try it you will love it.

Expensive but you get what you pay for Lovely and double portion sizes you really can’t go wrong here

A very well presented restaurant with excellent service and very good food. Clean white tablecloths and napkins and a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. I had a very good Chicken Tika Biryani and a Kingfisher Beer. Very enjoyable!. I will certainly eat here again. Recommended. Paul H.

Very good food at a decent price

First time came here orderd biryani which was disappointing i dont recomend this place had a bad experience did tell them i will give a bad reveiw and the guy said they dont care which clearly says alot

We had a fantastic authentic dinner and were pleasantly amazed to see how affordable it all was . Impeccable service and totally authentic foods ..will be back !!

I've been here a few times, and tonight is no different! This time I ordered the Naga medium. Whilst eating and sweating, the taste was amazing! I polished everything off, and could easily have asked for seconds if I wasn't so full..... but the flavours were amazing! Great service and food as always! I hope this never changes, I love this place!

Terrible food and experience. So bad I have reported to the food standards agency. Please avoid.

Terrible terrible service. DO NOT GO. Manager got the order wrong, lied about it then threatened me.

My daughter wanted a curry as she had her braces off and couldn’t have one for two years. She loved the chicken korma and the chicken bhuna was great too. Will come back!

Ate at this restaurant by chance when staying in Watford for a few weeks- so glad we did. Staff are incredibly attentive without being intrusive. Food is amazingly flavoursome. It was so good that we returned- even though there are many alternatives in the area. We were amazed that the staff remembered us and even gave us complimentary after dinner drinks. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was lovely.. it was late and the delivery driver was delightful kind and arrived on time (I was half asleep) he was cheerful told me food is great enjoy :) Food was hot and requests followed the prices are high but as a one off it was worth it :) worth it but due to price will wait for a while till nxt in the area. Great comms

We get our takeaways from here the food is outstanding and always on time and hot. 10/10 Indian food

Lovely meal here last night with my partner. Went a bit later and they easily found us a table and the service was very quick and friendly. Food was lovely, we had a garlic naan and chicken jalfrezi and chicken Ceylon which were both lovely and just a little bit spicy! Would recommend and would go again.

My spouse and I order from Spice Lounge regularly and love it, and have also dined in from time to time. We're both vegetarian and love South Asian food, so we've tried most if not all of the curry houses in the Watford area - this one is our favourite by far. The makhani sauce in particular is amazing, and the food is consistently good and not too greasy, which is usually our issue. The flavours are good and nuanced, the Medium and Hot options are properly spicy, as someone who usually orders Hot at most places I find Medium is right for me here. A bit more expensive than some of the competition but well worth it to us, and the delivery portions are large enough that we often get 2 dinners for both of us if not more out of a £40 delivery order.

Excellent food and good service. The staff were friendly. All the food was good. Nice quality meat, sauces and rice. Couldn’t really find a negative to be honest and would recommend.

Superb quality food cooked to an exceptional standard. Great service , I would highly recommend spending an evening here.

Very good and prompt service, lots of take away orders going out, like 4-5 on the table packed and ready at 8pm. Food is hot and very good.

Clean small Indian restaurant in Watford town centre. Warm welcome and friendly service, average prices. Tasty food presented in a nice manner. Be careful if you choose moderate/mild spicy as it feels like hot for average European taste. Generous portions for mains, if you have a starter and 1-2 popadoms you’ll come out of there with a full belly. I’ll be visiting again, but order less food next time.

Everything was cooked perfectly, exactly as requested, and so delicious! Highly recommend the biryani's. Was a great dinner to celebrate my birthday.

Best curry house in Watford, food is tasty always hot when delivered, reasonable price had chicken patia delicious

Paneer tikka was sweet which wasn’t a nice experience. Would have preferred paneer to have a more earthy taste.

I have made the oder online for delivery -chicken korma ,chicken tikka masala and paneer masala . All the dishes were sweet even chicken tikka masala and peneer masala ,not spicy but extremely sweet.It looked like one dish but with different names.I ate Indian food from different places and I love it but from SPICE LOUNGE all dishes tasted the same and they are very sweet.

Brilliant meal, lovely staff very friendly, we thoroughly enjoyed it 😊😊

Really good food and fantastic service 👌... slice of orange and hot towel to end. Complimentary drink at the end, proper hosting 👌

Visiting Watford we found this little gem by chance and so glad we did. Food is flavoursome and beautifully served in decent portion size, by incredibly attentive yet unobtrusive staff. So good we returned a second ( and potentially a third) time during our short stay in Watford ! Classy and yet relaxed restaurant, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

8 of us went here and had really nice meal! staff were really friendly and very attentive Food came out quickly and was really tasty with great flavours and just the right amount of spice I highly recommend the spice lounge special lamb! Will definitely return

After a quick scan of Google I found this place and im so glad I did. I have literally just eaten here and what can I say, the food was amazing! Service was friendly, food was piping hot and tasty, so overall experience could not have been better! Great place, will definitely return to try other dishes..... thank you!

Absolutely fantastic food. Staff smart and polite. Absolute gem of a place

This restaurant is great for variety of Indian foods. The waiters and chefs are amazing and kind and all the food was delicious.

Absolutely delicious.... Great service and food. I either order for delivery or I dine in.

Food is tasty but expensive. Enjoyed the mixed grill.

Excellent food and brilliant service, we will be returning.

Good Indian restaurant... spicy food is spicy indeed 👌

This is not my regular spot but I absolutely love the ambiance, the staff and the food. Excellent, friendly service and really nice fresh food at reasonable prices. So glad this is a local spot! Would highly recommend.Thanks so much to Emilia.First time being here

Very welcoming staff ready to greet you and show you to your seats. Staff were so helpful and polite, the food was amazing. We can honestly say it is one of the best Indian meals we have ever had. Chicken tikka massala was think and so flavoursome. Chicken Jalfrezi was outstanding and the mushroom rice was the best with lots of fresh herbs and spices. Make sure you book a table ASAP you won't be disappointed.

Not the best. Not quite sure how this place got the rating it has?

Disappointed. Normally eat in and food is excellent. Delivery food was poor. Mixed grill meat was tough. Butter chicken was too sweet. Perhaps they had an off day.

Great food, loved the ambience and really pleasant staff!

Food was cold, portions were tiny- not much meat in the curries. And it was late!

Wow! If you’re looking for excellent Indian food this is your spot. Great service too! Thank you for the great hospitality..

Expensive for what you get. 9.95 for main of just veg curry, 4.95 for bhaji's and 5.95 delivery!

The chicken in the chicken rogan was very dry and chewy hard to swallow

Friendly staff, very helpful after I’ve placed an order to be delivered to a wrong address, food as always excellent

Very bland curry chicken was very chewy

We have used the spice lounge a lot for takeaways but this time we visited. The food is always good. They have a wide selection on the menu and plenty of options for vegetarians. The restaurant is not large, but nevertheless, we were not disrupted by the takeaway service. Something that sadly is often the case these days with all the various delivery companies lining up! the service was fast and attentive. The restaurant is close to church parking as while in theory you could park in the road, it's not much of a reality. We visited prior to going to the Palace Theatre and it is open early enough to do so, and it is only a short walk to the theatre. I recommend a visit!

The Biriyani dishes are delicious and generous portions. The 'Mild' is a decent strength, not a whimp but decently strong to enjoy.

This is the first time I have ordered from this restaurant. Food was delicious, very fresh ingredients and large portions. Definitely will order from them again - highly recommended.

Superb as usual, but a little expensive

Always delicious food. Full of flavour, piping hot and all so freshly cooked. It’s a bit on the pricey side but well worth it for the quality of the food

Really nice food & drink & staff! 🙂

Best Bangla food in Watford. I've tried the majority of the alternatives in the area, some highly rated. None come close to SL. Non obtrusive, efficient service and high quality, well spiced, generous portions. I can only guess the negative reviews are: 1) not based on food quality. 2) disgruntled competitors. 3) individuals who prefer style over substance (yes, these people exist unfortunately). Keep up the good work, this should be a local staple for anyone who likes a good curry.

Delicious food and great service. We had to leave suddenly due to a personal issue, the staff helped us pack our food into take out boxes and rush out quickly. We got to enjoy our food properly later and it was 10/10

Perfect service and food. I’d highly recommended this restaurant. Thank You.

Way too expensive for what it is. The butter prawn curry was inedible and the tandoori lamb was £15 for chopped pieces of oily lamb

Very tasty great quality food. Fantastic service, would definitely order again. 5 star ratings all round

Well the food is great on the weekends but not in the week must have a bad cook during the week watery and just don't stay together as a curry on the weekends Great texture not very happy if I phoned up by the time they sort it i would have cook something myself 😒

Ordered very early on a Friday tobgive the restaurant as much notice as possible because we Kew we'd be hungry, turned up late and was decidedly average. We used to love this place and especially the Chicken Tikka Masala.

Late delivery, a joke at nearly £6. Missing items from the order. Not happy normally a good restaurant but very poor

In Watford for just 1 night working. Decided to eat here and what can I say it was outstanding. The staff could not of been more friendly. The food was amazing and so much of it. Top class place and will be returning.

Tasty food as usual but the poppodoms were stale and tasted funky!

Great food, but restaurant was busy and it was delivered later than suggested - 8pm instead of 7:30pm

The food was extremely bland and the chicken tasted like there was so much sugar in it. We will never order from here again. Nobody ate the food and its all gone to waste. The only nice thing about it was the naan bread . A complete waste of money and disappointment

Best curry we’ve had for some time. All the family loved it……thank you, delicious!

Excellent food & service, attentive but not intrusive staff. Would recommend the Madras, Aloo Chat, onion Bajji & all the rice.

As always, food arrived super quick, piping hot and was great. Would recommend and will use again

Great food, delivery takes a while but was within the stated time

The delivery price was ridiculous

We have NEVER had a bad meal from this place ❤️❤️

Warm tasteless overpriced and over cooked gristle. This is usually our go to takeaway and never usually fails. Tonight quite the reverse. Jalfrezi chicken and jalfrezi veg. Chicken dish had 1 dice sized pepper, padded out with onions. Vegetable jalfrezi had onions and 2 peas and 2 brown broad beans (?!). 2 green beans otherwise the cost of this dish for mainly onions is disgusting. 2 samosas which should be 3. Bhajis warm. This food is way too expensive to be warm and tasteless. Called to complain and I was challenged. Had to email photo. Was dealt by a man who questioned me. Was asked to send an email as proof to which he said he could see onions!! Gristle and overcooked food being returned and very reluctantly they're sending another chicken jalfrezi and bhaji dish which doesn't look like dog food. Driver has deliver twice to the wrong address. Glad to say we'll be going elsewhere now as I don't want to be challenged again. The search continues for a nice curry house with nice customer service.

Lovely flavours . A little problem balti leaked everywhere the bag was soaking .Gave me extra popadoms was enjoyable

Absolutely beautiful food fully recommend and use again

Was super yummay thank the chef

The chicken was tough and dry in the dansak

Wow- I ordered something different than usual and was thinking I shouldn’t have but Spice Lounge knocked it out of the park again and have reawakened my desire to try different things - great meal thanks

Fast delivery and the quality of food was excellent quality.

Amazing - food delivered on time and hot. Taste was great

The food used to be really good when I started ordering from Spice Lounge. It was the best Indian I had ever had but the last couple of times I ordered, the curry is oily. Paratha was burnt. Unfortunately, I will not be ordering from them anymore.

Food terrible Korma not creamy was too spicy. Very inconsistent on what your food would be like depending on what day you order. Onion badji cold and naan breads wet from the bag they were pit in. Deff NOT valie for money at £33 plus.

Delicious food, was delivered hot.

Best Indian had in king time hands down best, haven’t had Indian in a while and what a way to have one will be ordering again A*

EXTREMELY AND UNBELIEVABLY SWEET

Piping hot, quality service and great food all rnd

As I spent £46 was expecting more of a nice meal. Chicken Tikka was so hot I couldn’t eat it, it was like a vindaloo. Chicken tikka massala is not a curry at the end of the day. When I have booked other Indian meals even if I spent £20 I got free popadums and mint sauce no freebies. Therefore will not be ordering again.

We always ate from here. The food WAS the best around. But the past 3 times the chicken has been awfully dry and chewy to the point where we have struggled to eat it. We question whether the food is old and has been over done in a microwave. Disappointed as this place was always our go to :(.

Great quality and quantity of food highly recommended

Dripping in oil, tasteless mixed grill

Excellent yummy value for money food My go to curry 😋

First time I had from here . Really nice . Will defo b my go 2 ruby .

Fav Indian restaurant every time I order the food is always on point never been let down by this place people who deliver the food are so charming to defo have a customer for life
