The Lime Lounge in Stockport

First time at this lovely restaurant. The food was delicious. Will definitely be back. Going to book in for Xmas day.

A meal out with friends. Excellent in every way.

Always excellent food and service

Constancy is the key to your favourite local restaurant and the Lime Lounge is truly the most consistently great place to eat in this area. (For Indian food) highly recommended 👌

Absolutely wonderful, very friendly staff, great atmosphere and food to die for!!

Excellent service 👏 all very friendly

Average food and miserable staff, I don't think they are bothered if you are there or not, we won't return.

Nice food, with friendly staff with a reasonably priced menu, quite small inside, with tables close to each other, quite tight for couples with babies & prams

Just been and had an awesome meal tonight with our 94 year old grandad. No disappointment whatsoever. This restaurant came highly recommended and surpassed expectations 👌 Great facilities for disabled once inside 👏

Lovely food, good lovely atmosphere great staff.

Very poor service could not be bothered to come round the table & pick up our finished plates. They got us to pass the plates to the end of the table. Also waiters that didn't want us to be there. The up side was the food was really nice. Will not be going back as there are plenty of places doing good food.

Excellent food and service in really comfortable surroundings

I’m sorry but after tonight’s meal I really feel I need to leave an honest review. We’ve been a couple of times recently and sometimes the service and food is ok, enjoyable but nothing wow. Tonight we were celebrating a very special occasion and just wished we didn’t have it at the lime lounge. Food was rushed. My thali was tasteless. Beer was flat like it has been the last few times we’ve been, but what really got me was the fact that the staff seemed put out that we were there. The bill came to over £300 and we left over an 10% tip and as jay took the money we didn’t get so much of a thank you! Just rude!! As we all left not one member of staff said bye or thank you on the way out. You had some very loyal customers come in tonight for the last time.

We booked at this restaurant mainly due to the positive reviews and it is now clear to me that "reviews" can be extremely misleading. The service is poor in the extreme, our waiter couldn't even bring himself to actually speak to us and the food is generic and terribly average. Even though three in our party had different dishes the chicken within the meals was exactly the same. I can only imagine they have a huge bowl of precooked chicken which must then be added to various sauces. There is nothing at all authentic about the food in this restaurant, our good friends are Asian and cook regularly for us and there is a word of difference between the two. All in our party stated they would not return and I for one will not be recommending this restaurant especially in view of the extortionate price.

Brilliant quality food as always a little quiet early but picked up later I had Tika Salmon starter top marks very tastey and lamb Korai the wife had Sheesh kebab and chicken Buhna both great

Food unfortunately was not the best I've had. Not much flavor.

Fantastic food here, every time. Lovely friendly service and a really nice relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant Highly recommend

Perfect from the start, our meal was outstanding as was the service, the owner certainly knows how to make his customers feel welcomed, and offer advice on what to choose that would suit our dietary needs, the restaurant is spotlessly clean and the food is really enjoyable. a wonderful place for couples or families of any age or diet to dine

Graet food and a good selection of interesting dishes. This was let down with the service, which was a bit lacklustre (hence the 4 star). Maybe this was an off night as I've heard great reviews of this place. Lots of parties seemed to be having a good time, so maybe bad timing.

Waited 40 minutes for someone to take our order, then a further hour and 20 minutes to be served our food which was dismal to say the least. Other guests walked out due to the wait. No apologies from any members of staff and when I mentioned this they brought over a shot for everyone even though we were not drinking and then we found out this is standard practice. Terrible experience all round.

Wow fantastic food. Great service won't be disappointed

Absolutel rip off for drinks £8.95 for glass of house white. Robbers!

Best in the area, what more can one say. Often very busy and booking advisable. Food excellent sit in or take away and our service was excellent. Tried a lot of the menu over the years and can highly recommend

Went for a birthday on a VERY busy evening, still had great service, great food and they even brought out our cake and played happy birthday music! Very impressed.

Love this Indian. The choice of food is outstanding

We love the Lime Lounge! We had dinner at the Lime Lounge last night, i’ve probably been there at least once a month since moving here eight years ago. In all that time I’ve never once left there feeling disappointed with the food.The staff are always courteous,professional and on hand when you want them,they never appear to be short staffed,ambiance is good and the air conditioning on when needed . If you aren’t familiar with this style of Asian cuisine the menus describe each dish accurately and without hyperbole,the grading system means you will never order a meal that is too spicy for your taste.Whatever you order will be served hot,fresh ,full of flavour and in a timely manner. I only drink Diet Coke there and it’s fine ,those less inhibited than me tell me there is a good range of wines and the Cobra beer is on draught. I suggest you book in advance for a Friday or Saturday You will gather I rate the Lime Lounge very highly,don’t take my word for it,go there,try it, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed

Very nice food , lovely and clean inside

Fantastic restaurant & take away. Lucky it's not far from where I live.

First rate Indian Restaurant with an already excellent reputation - it did not disappoint. The service was very prompt despite being a busy Saturday night. Sampled a Lamb Bhuna and a Lamb Madras. The meat was really tender and beautifully cooked. The Madras was genuinely hot! 🔥 Will be visiting again when I am in the Stockport area.

Called in last tues curry fantastic been 3 times in a week, however got a take out last night and it turned out very poor. Madras sauce watery & tasteless , bhuna turned to watery liquid this hadnt been cooked through rusheď i think. I always believe you get what you pay for but in this instance not true. Overall a very poor experience.

Have never been here before went with friends. Very good service. Food was excellant

Lovely modern take on Indian food in a good setting with lovely staff

One of the best curries around. Modern and efficient service. Even in the busiest night.

This is a great curry house, really great service and the food is amazing. I would definitely recommend going to the Lime Lounge, fantastic food and some really good specialties on the menu.

Absolutely lovely food. Really enjoyed my night Highly recommended

The place itself is lovely and very clean . The need for bums on seats has resulted in tables and chairs in every available nook and cranny (but I get that… post covid) what I don’t sadly get is food that is visually stunning but sadly has absolutely no taste at all ? I had onion bhajis to start and chicken tikka shashlick , keema naan and bhuna sauce .well where to begin the bhajis we’re visually beautiful 3 arrived on the Plate with a salad and mint sauce. On reflection I should have been suspicious how anyone manages to make every single bhaji the same shape and size I don’t know. Now for the eating both myself and my dining partner had the greatest trouble trying to cut them (this was due to the fact they had been fried within an inch of there lives) upon tasting we both looked at each other and said they needed seasoning both salt and pepper and Indian spices too as they tasted of nothing not even of onion ?? We tried to pep them up by adding mint sauce but nope no chance the mint sauce was watered down to the most it can possibly be whilst still remaining a sauce…. STARTER not very good 3/10. Now onto the main course….. chicken tikka shashlick + accompaniments again the dish was very colourful and promised delights just not delivered? It arrived on a sizzler with Copious amounts of peppers and onions plus on closer inspection 1 raw cherry tomato and 2 pickled kebab shop type chilliest buried in the depths ?? What were they doing there? Again this promised much but once again no flavour other than roasted veg chicken looked delicious and was cooked perfectly but had absolutely no spicing to it at all. The Naan was bizarre lovely soft bread but filled with what I can only describe as donner meat and not keema? At least this had some taste even if it was Turkey and not India. Bhuna sauce absolute disaster again no spice this was almost as bland as the onion bhajis and only a back not of tomatoes was tasted. All in all a pretty disappointing dining experience and at just shy of £60 for two with 3 drinks not the cheapest either. Will come back and give it another go although it will be a long while before I do .

Excellent experience, great staff, highly recommended

Good experience really enjoyed the meal good service. First time we have been there. But would recommend a visit

The restaurant looks very nice inside , however the food wasn’t the greatest. Yogurt sauce was very sweet like it had been mixed with mango sauce. Curry was very bland also it came out a little too fast like they had just heated it up. The staff seem annoyed that we didn’t order drinks kept getting dirty looks , overall a poor experience, will not be going again!!

Great food,with service to match.

Without doubt one of the best curry houses in stockport.

love it!!! Food excellent as is the service.

Always a favourite. Very tasty, excellent staff. Our number one take away provider.

Great food and friendly staff, probably the best Indian in Stockport.

Been here a few times and have never had a bad meal or poor service. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food is fresh and delicious

Simply the best curry around by far

One of the very best in the area.

The food was good ,staff helpful

Great service. Went above and beyond as it was our anniversary to make it special, with some nice freebies. Food was great also.

Sorry to say but my last experience at the lime was poor I ordered a take away last Saturday and all I can say is what I received was well below the standard you expect from the lime rice hard and cruchie and the naan bread was hard on one side really disappointed won't be going back

Lovely food, service spot on too..

Gorgeous food and 5 star service , brilliant works Christmas do 🍻

Visited this very modern, clean and stylish restaurant for my girlfriend's birthday. They provided us with one of their booth tables which made it feel very cosy and intimate. Earlier they had called me to confirm a table booking made online which was appreciated. Was pleased to find there is a small free carpark for shops and eating establishments within around 50 meters of the door. Responsive and very courteous staff made us feel very comfortable. Food selection from the menu really simplified on one side, and speciality dishes on the other. Really glad of being able to choose from several vegetarian options which we prefer. All served beautifully by the time we had nibbled through our poppadoms. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing food. Tried others but nothing comes close. Keep up the great service.

Nice family run business,nice food 5 stars

Excellent service and food, never fails to impress, absolutely recommend having a meal here!

Great service, particularly fitting us in at short notice and food good value as always 👍

Food and service was faultless. On a busy Saturday night a table for four lads Food was fabulous have already booked to go again with my wife . I would recommend it highly.

Wednesday night. Went in, the waiter just stared at us..no welcome at all. Sat us down, curry was average, nann bread was excellent. 6 staff just standing at the bar right next to us which felt a bit strange

Another great meal out. As always.

By far the best curry house around! Glady travel a 20min car journey than eat locally.

Always excellent food . Staff very friendly Reasonably priced too

We had a lovely experience here. The food and service was wonderful. The curries, really do live up to their name.

Lovely meal, great decor and staff.

Wonderful food great service very friendly atmosphere

Great place.. Food consistantly good And staff are lovely. Jay the owner is hardworking and always upbeat..... The guys

Not been here for over 5 years until recently ordering a takeout (still pandemic restrictions) - pleased to say it was still excellent!

Best curry house around always good quality food and very friendly staff

Average curry, I had the veg thali, wouldn't have it again. Nan bread was really good

Lovely food and very good staff

Great food always. Excellent service.

2 of the staff were wearing NO MASKS and serving food and seating customers who were also queuing with no masks all stood together. You will be closed due to another lockdown soon then asking the government for money so stop it and show some respect for my 71 year old mother and the wellbeing of the country and others. Very concerned and uncomfortable on my mothers birthday meal. Short term thinking! Food was good.

Really Good Coffee, excellent and generous Sandwiches and Scones, Cherry and Almond a favourite. Watch the world go by and enjoy the relaxed friendly atmosphere. There is a reason they are busy

Great food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Love coming here for a good feed

The food was freshly cooked, hot and service was excellent from start to finish with a good atmosphere as well

Okay coffee. Not spectacular. No smile with our service.

Love lime lounge ! By far my favourite curry place for myself and family to eat in and to order for home! We order from here at least once a week without a doubt! Highly recommend. Staff are all so pleasant and professional.

They should call this place Sublime because their food is out of this world. Highly recommended - beautifully spiced, not overly greasy, visibly lovingly made food. Either out (during these covid times) or in (love the booths). From some very foody people - enjoy!

Fantastic food, best Indian I've had in a while!

Excellent food and service, A1.

We cannot fault this restaurant, even when it's packed with customers, the quality of the food is always fantastic.

Great curry and local so we can walk home.

Delicious, friendly atmosphere. Food was fabulous

Always great service (with a smile) from Jay and all the staff. Food always excellent. Thanks guys.

Great food. Great staff. Will be back soon

Thought the food was poor. I ordered a patina and it is the worst one I have ever had. The mango chutney isn't a chutney it's just sauce and I noticed that what ever chutney /onions were left by people went back in a box by the kitchen and out to the next people who wanted them.

Definitely be coming back again the food and service was superb, thanks

Good food, busy Indian restaurant with very service minded staff.

First time at restaurant. Good food, service good. Would recommend, will be going again.

The Lyme Lounge has been my local Indian for years from going weekly to only several times a year over the past 10 years the restraunt has truly changed for the better, with an expansion doubling its size, a while back. And the restraunt itself conveniently located and furnished well on the inside. A lovely dining experience the food is a whole nother topic could go on much more but on the whole it is of verry high quality, I have absolutely know knowledge of any allergen or illness reactions from there, and a variety of Indian food is served, the customer service is great with the owner Jay who gets to know the customers well and is a really nice guy, you could go once a year and feel like a family regular. One down side is a lack of parking with only a few spaces out front but there are roads near by that are free to park on, the red lion now specifies you have to register your Reg plate inside so avoid parking there if you are not going in. Overall a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience I’m glad I live so close. Edit: a year later from my original review, I have revised it in places, and to add I recently attended their annual Bollywood evening which was amazing, it was a tuesday night and was packed with the regulars and customer friends of the staff, they were all dressed up in their formal dress and the traditional clothes were incredible alone and a great talking point. They had a set menu with some of the best food I've ever had from there, and had some dancers in to perform a traditional Indian dance which was adapted to some more popular music as well. Verry fun night would highly recomend looking out for it next year.

Authentic Indian food freshly cooked with quality ingredients

Popped in for an impromptu evening meal. Service was excellent, food was fantastic and will return. Staff were very friendly.

Five stars isn't enough for this place, once again a superb meal and fantastic service.

Lovely food, well presented, friendly efficient staff.

It gets busy at times but that's because it's so good. 😁 👌

Yummy, came for my birthday meal with friends. The service was good, atmosphere was pleasant and the food was delicious!

Not been in ages but it was a fabulous as I remember. Great food, and staff fully aware of ingredients (I'm gluten intolerant) so no slip ups. Will go back again soon!

Hands down the best Indian restaurant within the immediate and surrounding areas (including central Manchester). The food is always superb, and the staff are always excellent. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent food at reasonable prices, good service.

Interesting dishes I've never seen before. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.
