Spice Lounge in Chelmsford

Read on Chelmsford City face book page, this was the best Indian in Chelmsford and looked at the reviews on line to find the same. Food is the best Indian takeaway in Chelmsford 9 out 10 as you forgot one of our mint sauces otherwise it would have been 10/10

Had a meal with the lads. Great host, superb food. Good prices, very authentic

Decent Indian restaurant. The fact that it has been around in various incarnations for the last 40 years (that I know of) is a testament to the consistency in food and service. We had a 7pm table booking on a Saturday night, and it was BUSY and therefore noisy! Every table was occupied, and as soon as a table cleared, it was being dressed and occupied by another group of diners. Food selection is good, and the quality is excellent. It took slightly longer than usual between courses, but given how busy that could be expected. Price for dishes are where they should be, and overall, the experience was enjoyable. Would recommend

Had dinner here with friends on a Saturday night. Booking on line didn’t work so booked face to face in the restaurant in advance. The food was excellent, fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and genuine. The food is cooked within a couple of feet of the seating area. Loved the authenticity. Guessing that this is family owned and run. Good value as well. We will be back.

The food was excellent, but the evening was ruined by the noise. When booking the day before our visit, when we had specifically asked, we had been told that there would be live music - it was a Saturday night - but that we would be allocated a quiet table. In fact there was a birthday party going on, with loud thumping disco music, and karaoke , which totally drowned out conversation for the rest of the guests. The management were joining in, and photographing the event, to the extent that we had to get up to leave before we could get the bill, despite a number of requests. The evening was not helped by the waitress accidentally knocking a bottle of wine over me. There was no attempt to replace the bottle until I asked for a replacement. The fact the wine went over my shirt, jacket and trousers was ignored. The staff were too busy attending to the birthday party It was a dreadful evening for those not involved in the party, and we felt we had been badly misled by the assurances we had been given.
