Spice lounge in Chelmsford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely Indian that we tend to dine in about once a month. Great selection of food and everything we have tried is delicious. My favourite is the Nawabi, followed closely by the Burhkini and Lamb Shank. Service is generally excellent, however last night we were served by a waiter new to us - who seemed unable to wear his trousers correctly (despite other diners and at least one colleague commenting on it) and he got our order wrong - which was quickly and professionally rectified by one of the regular more reliable waiters. We will definitely continue to return and just try to be served by one of the more professional staff members.

Noisy, horrible atmosphere . Staff was yelling at each other and the kitchen looked unsanitary

Ordered tonight for delivery via Deliveroo, the food was absolutely fantastic! Beautifully cooked, delivered quickly and was still hot when it arrived. Thank you!

Welcoming staff and great food at a fair price. The lamb berkhani was amazing and the chicken wings were 👌. I’m lucky to have this as my local.

Food was delicious as always driver went to wrong house. Good thing my neighbours are honest. 🙄

Absolutely lovely food ! And great timed delivery! Thank you very much

Food very good and reasonable prices compared to some other Indian restaurants that are now way to expensive. One thing I may add is the advertising of the Sunday buffet is a bit of a con . Its not a buffet of any kind d . Its a set menu from a very small menu. You don't find this out till you sit down. You should state that its a set menu in your advertising. That said I'd go back no problem.

Very fast delivery. Lovely delivery driver! Unfortunately the food was disappointing. Completely tasteless. Was basically a container of chopped tomatoes and slightly dry chicken. Onion bahjees were hard and overcooked. Think the food is quite expensive for what it is too… £2.28 for a chapati (aren’t they just flour and water?!) they didn’t even taste homemade!

Lovely food. Starter is 10 out of 10. Service is outstanding. Differently recommend with family

Exceptional food, amazing service. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Will be coming back again and again

Ordered prawn briyani take away, this is one of the worst briyani i have ever tasted. Tasted so bad I couldn’t even enjoy one or two bite. Waste of money, disappointed

Lovely food both takeaway and eat in. They catered for me dairy free really well too.

Excellent food. Staff are very friendly best in the town. Will come back again.

Food arrived very late was lukewarm had to heat it up but as always taste delicious one of the best in Chelmsford

A great restaurant, it’s a must for great food and the owners are so welcoming and engaging. You won’t be disappointed

Visited on a Wednesday evening & was pleasantly surprised by the banquet menu options. Food was delicious, well presented & large portions. Service was absolutely brilliant - they even have buzzers on the table to request service! Really lovely experience and will definitely be returning again.

We have been coming here every Sunday for months, the food is fantastic and the service is so attentive. Couldn't recommend here enough for a lovely meal out.

Fantastic, my favourite local Indian food

Big improvement from my last visit when they had lost the drinks licence and we had to pop across to Texaco to get our own alcohol.

Great customer service fantastic food very friendly people will be going often 😀 onion bhaji the best they do round ones

The best takeaway I've had in this area by far. The food was ready and piping got when they said it would be. A good selection of well cooked vegetarian and meat dishes, the chilli paneer was particularly amazing. The restaurant was busy at 7pm which can only be a good sign.

Rice was not pilau rice but long grain rice so was a bit disappointed as I paid for pilau rice!

Can’t praise this place enough! We went last night for a family meal and from the moment we arrived we were looked after. I had my elderly grandad with me who the waiters helped to seat and were so lovely. We could not fault the food and the ammount you get for the price is actually unbelievable. We ended up having to take most of it home! The restaurant is clean and has a lovely feel to it. Everything feels high end and it appears money has been spent to open this place to a high standard. The staff were so friendly and one was dancing to the music which we loved to see. It was infectious to see someone so happy. We will definitely return and I will be telling everyone about this place!

The food was really really nice. We went on a Wednesday when they had a special offer on and you got so much food for your money - I was amazed. Run by lovely people who are very attentive.

Lovely food driver was so polite

Fantastic place to eat both in and for a takeaway food and service is amazing and even give you the time to explain the dishes highly recommended if you like your Indian cuisine

Delicious food. Great spice and surprising variety. Waiters so polite and helpful. A great find

We ordered a takeaway for 12 people to celebrate a special family occasion. The team at Spice Lounge looked after us so well. The food and service exceeded our expectations and we had an amazing, delicious meal. We will definitely be visiting them again!

Driver was very polite food was great as always haven’t ordered for awhile portions have definitely got smaller chicken Jalfrezi, definitely chicken chunks there was less of them and hardly any sauce but still very tasty.

Very nice. Kind welcome. Very polite. Probably the best I have tasted in a very long time. My only hope is that it's like this all the time so I can keep going back. Very authentic and very tasty with great flavours all round.

Fantastic food, this is my new favorite restaurant and takeaway

lovely meal, as good as the sit in meal we had at the weekend.

Fantastic food and fantastic service. My new 'go to' for takeaway and eat in.

Great food great staff some great deals on in there

Fantastic food and great service, will definitely come back

I regularly get a take-away from here as the food is so good. Last night I decided to dine in for date night with my husband. Our experience did not disappoint! The staff are very friendly, welcoming and attentive and as usual, the food top notch.

1st time there Saturday night, wow so friendly fantastic service and the food was amazing definitely the best in Essex I would say

Very good takeaway, all the chicken was tender and the 3 different curries were nicely flavoured.

Spoke to the restaurant after an hour and a half, and was told that the JE driver hadn't been assigned. Waited another half an hour and having called JE and been directed back to the website by a recorded message (just don't bother having a helpline number!), a driver was finally assigned and the food arrived shortly after. The restaurant are local to me and are always spot on and the driver was quick once assigned. The problem here is your booking system at JE. I also now know that my order would have been nearly 25% cheaper if ordered directly with the restaurant. For a mark-up like that you need to be providing a better service.

Excellent food with generous portions and friendly service.

Lovely food great flavours as always

One of the best Indians I've had on here. Really recommend and will definitely order again

I'm going to say just this...if you haven't had the tikka jalfrezi yet, make it your next purchase! A taste sensation that you wont forget! I had the chicken one and paired it with the Keema rice which was delicious as well. You have to try this folks, and I promise you wont regret it. It's quite spicy, but the flavour hit was out of this world!! Do it now! :) My girlfriend had the prawn madras and said it was one of the best she's ever had, and she would know, Indian heritage! You cannot go wrong ordering from Spice Lounge, my fave restaurant and takeaway!! :)

Amazing dinner!!! "Beautiful restaurant with a great food,amazing atmosphere and great service. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. On our journey from Ipswich we will visit Again.

Driver was 18 mins late not happy food is not hot but still nicely presented and well spiced as always

Took longer than I'd hoped to be delivered but very tasty food, will order from here again

Delicious as always great flavours. A lovely Friday night treat.

Friendly delivery driver. Ordered something completely new today food as always was on point absolutely delicious and piping hot great flavours

Over an hour late and Luke warm

Ordered food at 22:07 on Wednesday evening. The restaurant accepted my order and then they closed at 22:30. My food was supposed to come at 22:30. All this time it said it’s being prepared. Guess what time my food arrived? At midnight! 2 hours after making an order. Absolutely disgusting attitude of the driver as well. He acted like nothing has happened. I was waiting hungry like an idiot for 2 hours. It’s a joke of a restaurant and I will never order anything from you

Enjoyed a lovely night out with friends and family. Food was very good as well as the friendly service. Definitely return.

The driver was so rude, rang my bell and dumped my food on the floor and walked away to his car that he didn’t even park outside my house. I’m not sure I will be ordering from here again. Very disappointing and disgusting

Had a meal here last night under their mid-week special offer. Really friendly waiters and the food was excellent. Great value for money - definitely a place we will return to.

food was ok but really over priced for what i got and not a lot of flavour .. i’ve had a sit down here many times and much nicer

Great atmosphere, the food is very good. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Food was great but a couple of items were missing

It's a scam. Food is tasty no doubt. But in breads section. Chapati is not actually a chapati it's a tortilla that we get from tesco at 1.95£. And they se/l tortilla in the name of chapati for almost 3£(rounding off). I thought one time is okay but usually they don't make chapati they just fry the tortilla and give to the customers. That's is so disappointing when it's a Indian restaurant

Nice food and good service tonight. Well done

Very nice place and food tastes better than any other Indians with their own car parking system as well and friendly member of staff

Delivered very quickly and extremely tasty food thank you

Excellent meal, I particularly like hot spicy food and they certainly do this! My wife prefers milder flavour which is also available and excellent

Delivery was really quick and the food was absolutely delicious. This was my first time ordering and definitely won't be my last

The food and service here are fantastic. Everything we ordered was perfect. The best keema nan I've ever had too, we'll definitely be returning.

Food was yum . Only negative mint sauce tasted of mustard not mint . Otherwise yummy in my tummy .

Absolutely delicious great spices and flavour arrived piping hot. Very pleased now my favourite restaurant

Not many people in when we went early but food was excellent very tasty full of flavour. Certainly go again

This is not a matter paneer this is disgusting

Curry was oily, chicken still pink in the middle and dry. Do not order from here

Warm and tasty and I enjoyed it xx thanks

Just a had a lovely meal there from the Sunday lunch menu. The food was amazing and great value, would definitely recommend, the chicken chat was amazing.

Biryani had a awful taste and smell

excellent food that turned up on time

Beautiful, freshly cooked food.Lovely staff.

Food was ok, not as good as the place that was there before. Don’t think I will order from there again though.

A pleasant surprise! All of the Indian restaurants in this area are pretty bad, so it was a really nice surprise to find that this place is much better. The service was great and the staff were very friendly. The lamb I got was tender, well cooked and I’m excited to try more of the menu. Keep up the good work!

Good quality hot food. Friendly delivery...would recommend..

Really delicious curry- best I’ve had in years! Recommend the saag aloo! Staff lovely too

First time ordered from this restaurant, but food absolutely lovely,hot and portions outstanding. Plenty of chicken in portion and food looks 👌 defo regular customer!

First time here and it was very good . Really lovely

Food always excellent, lounge veg rice lovely

Good curry and good service 👍🏻....

Great food plenty of it,plenty of choice on menu,went there for a Freddy tribute act,very enjoyable,great atmosphere

Been several times this year, always a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food. Best curry we've had in a long time.

WOW! Working away and just had a takeaway from here. If I could give them 6 stars I would! Phoned the order through and when I arrived I was greeted at the door with a handshake and served with a smile. The food was definitely some of the best Indian I've had and very good value, the lamb melted in the mouth 😋 if I was local it use it every week. Thank you Spice Lounge 👍

Best Indian I've had ... beautiful flavours, best quality chicken and prawns. Fab presentation and lovely service.... everything and everyone made our night so enjoyable.... please visit this lovely restaurant before the word gets around and you can't book!! This has surpassed any expectations... thankyou Spice Lounge xx

First time having a takeaway from here, the lounge special rice is very tasty with a lamb bhuna which was equally tasty , you definitely be going back 😋

It's this I want exceptional service, amazing food, and... A moment where you say... Wioooah... Come here... But the only negative, is that I won't be here to share with you!! Bon-vonjage!!

This place is really very good for your honest Indian takeaway. Excellent flavour, good quality meat, very reasonably priced. We’ve done the rounds in the area and have settled on this new opening as a firm favourite

Having years of experience of spicy food restaurants I thought that this was by far one of the best I have ever eaten. Hopefully it will remain consistent.

Food was excellent and the staff conduct and service was wonderful. Clean and tidy 💯

Firat visit here- Had a lovely meal with our family. Great food, excellent and friendly service. Very clean and really reasonable prices with good size portions. While we didn't order it they also offered chicken nuggets and chips which was really useful as we had 3 young kids with us. Will definitely be making this our go to Indian. In addition there is ample free parking in the restaurant carpark making it hassle free

Honest review would be , amazing welcome by the door staff , the chef him self came and spoke and bantered with us , explained the menu to us , helped us choose , food was nothing short of wonderful , deffo recommend especially for those who appreciate authentic Asian food with the right kick of spice.

Second visit since the refurbishment. The food is some of the best we have had, the service excellent.

First visit and very impressed. Clean smart restaurant. Fresh tasty food, really excellent service and reasonable prices. They provide containers for you pick and choose your own take away of any left over food, nice touch. They also offered us a complementary drink at the end. What's not to like.

We had a takeaway from there a few weeks ago and it was so delicious. Really impressed. Thank you.

We ate here last night and loved it. They have a varied menu and the food we had was really lovely and very generous portions. Staff were polite and friendly. We'll be back!

I love Tandoori chicken & always have it, but I was very disapointed on New Years Eve, we all ordered it but for some reason it had not been in the Tandoor oven & the taste just wasnt there, may be because it was quite busy & the Tandoor oven was full!!

Have eaten from here inside the restaurant twice and also ordered as takeaway and everytime I have been impressed. Inside the restaurant the servers are always so polite and the service is top notch. Take away, food was on time and just as delicious as inside the restaurant. Is our new definite go to now in Chelmsford and if you haven't already I highly recommend dining in this place. We will be back!

First visit back since the change of management - absolutely blown away. We used to go there under its previous ownership and it’s where my kids all got to experience Indian cuisine for the first time, and they were a little nervous at trying the new menu / chef. They need not have worried - everyone was impressed at how much better it tasted and they all said it was a vast improvement on what was there before. Perhaps the biggest indicator was how much less oil and grease there was. Thoroughly impressed and will be returning regularly. So good to have a decent Indian back in Great Baddow again.

My daughter and I had a great experience at The Spice Lounge. The food was fresh and tasty, including a good selection of vegetarian dishes. Service was first rate. We will definitely be visiting again!
