Spicey Lounge in Edinburgh, City of

I had the order the lamb buna it was very blended I didn’t like the taste. It was full of un cooked gravy

Fine food and always a good atmosphere with friendly staff. I have introduced a few people to here and they always make a bee line back when in the area.

I had a team lunch there today, and food was just ok however service was terrible. Even the plates and glasses where they served food was not at all clean. service is too slow. If we need water we need to wait atleast 10 mins, then forget about the food. I ordered mango kulfi and recived mango ice cream. Shame they call that resturant as Indian.

What an incredible evening! While visiting some friends in Edinburgh we decided to come here for dinner and I’m so glad we did.

Been a few times always had great meals.i try different ones every time.Staff are always friendly and tell me what meal is like

This is my second visit,i got special experience on valentine day .The food was truly fantastic.we tried a full selection of valentine menu inculeding chicken ,lam ,vegetable ,starter,and appetizer as well as all is full fill by different tast.It is ideal for those wholove great ( not good) culinary experiences.This is bespoke experiance for couples,and ideal for showing important business clients quality culinary in Edinburgh.we let the waiter Olin help us through theselections and he explain to us about Indian food and and about menu,,,he did very solid job .It again of my most impressive meals in Spice lounge....thanks to olin and all team..

Popped in for Sunday lunch- buffet style - plenty of choice . Staff very helpful and explain the menu bought some drinks at the bar and helped ourselves to the food which was tasty and varied. Nicely presented.

If you like to taste the individual spices of Indian food, then go here. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent and the prices are amazing considering it's Edinburgh. We've even gone for Christmas dinner, and couldn't be happier with the whole dining experience.

Dining out is all about stimulating all the senses. The ambiance, the service the food.... all in there own way contribute to either having a bad, or 'just' a good dining or having a really good memorable dining experience. As you enter you come into what looks like an 'old open plan public bar', which is not particularly inviting, however you are quickly ushered right into the open dining area. First observations of this are very nice, but on a closer look you do get the impression that they either ran out of money or ideas in respect of the finishing touches. Seriously suggest they change the curtains and remove the very 70's window vases?? Service overall was very attentive and helpful and totally acceptable. The floor manager does need to 'loosen' up a bit and be a bit more gentle in his approach. Tended to rather shout and although helpful, this was a bit obtrusive. We only got a 'check-back' after we had finished each course, which was too late. Lets talk about the food. The starters were superb. Would recommend the 'mushrooms', delightful & tasty. The lamb chops divine. So we were off to a good start! For mains two of us had a lamb dish, Laal Mass - which was absolutely superb, our third friend had the Chicken Masala Dosa, which as a fully self contained dish was again superb. All these dishes had great flavours, lovely meat and were well presented. The rice & breads were very good. As a side portion we had a portion of the black lentils, the Dal Bukhara - superb!! So let me finish on my dish, a Lamb Patia, which I tend to select often when dining out...then I have to say it was one of the worst I have ever ordered. Bland meat in a 'tomato' based sauce, in fact it really did feel like I was eating meat in a tomato soup? This was supposed to be a 'sweet & sour' sauce.... it was nether sweet or sour! Given the superb meals my companions were having only added to my utter disappointment. It spoiled the night, and I couldn't wait to leave. Would I return, probably.... but I would be careful what I ordered.... and even if there in company would definitely speak up, and not as on this occasion deciding not to spoil the meals of the others in my party.

Wir sind zum dritten Mal in der Spicey Lounge zum Abendessen gewesen. Die Qualität der Gerichte war jedesmal sehr gut. Die Bedienung war zwar freundlich aber sehr langsam. Wir mussten unsere Getränke mehrmals bestellen. Wir hoffen in Zukunft auf einen besseren Service.

Visited this restaurant with family and friends to celebrate my husband's birthday as we had heard good reports. I have to say that the menu selection was excellent with a great range of dishes (many of which were new to me). The food itself was excellent - no complaints from any of our party, who all seemed to thoroughly enjoy their choice of dishes. The starter scallops were particularly tasty and I did enjoy the selection of nan breads. The staff were all friendly and helpful too. My only small criticism is that the wait between starters and main courses was a bit longer than I would have expected. I am sure all the dishes were cooked to order and the restaurant was very busy but over half an hour is perhaps pushing it a bit. Perhaps some extra staff on a Saturday night? That said, we were not in a hurry and all enjoyed the evening as we had plenty of time to chat and did not feel rushed in any way. It was clear that we had the table for the whole evening, which made a pleasant change from some other restaurants! All things considered, I am keen to go back soon and sample some other culinary delights. I think this restaurant is going to do well.

Went to the restaurant for a meal because we couldn't secure seats at a nearby Italian restaurant: it turned out to be an excellent decision! Food was very tasty,ambience was cosy and service was simply brilliant! There are a few seats in the restaurant from where you can get some glorious views of the City of Edinburgh. Highly recommend the restaurant if you love tasty, spicy food in a relaxed environment with friendly and authentic service from staff.
