The Spice Lounge in Central Bedfordshire

Went here mid week with large group of friends. The place was very busy but service quick and the food excellent. The waiting staff are very humourus and friendly. They all obviously enjoy their jobs. Average price for main meal, a couple of Cobra beers and including a tip was £35. A complementary spirit served at the end of the meal is a nice touch. Overall a good evening out. We will be back soon.

Absolutely best curry house, food is amazing and staff can’t do enough for you , always busy and a brilliant atmosphere.

We are regular customers although we usually dine in or collect ourselves. The food is fantastic but the delivery service is a disaster. We were told 45 mins to an hour when we ordered by phone our takeaway was delivered 2 hours and 45 mins later. When we phoned to enquire after 1 hour 15 we were told it would be with us in seconds we were told the same after 2 hours. It was then re sent at 2 hours 30 mins. Don’t sell what you can’t deliver. Very disappointing

We have been to your restaurant a number of times now and have been really impressed with the food. On Saturday night (order 482) we completed an online order and I have to say we have been really disappointed. I really don't know what happened. We ordered a Lamb Naga and Chicken Pathia. Our kids had the tikka masala and chicken curry. When we ate our dishes, the Naga and Pathia, there was no hot spice in there what so ever. The Pathia tasted like the chicken curry with just a little bit more coriander. It felt like we were eating base sauces that lacked depth, spice and Naga heat, Infact there was very little heat at all. I don't want this to put us off ordering or coming in again but unfortunately I feel that this has. Very disappointing.

Food was amazing..as usual. The best curry house in town. Another visit on 020224.. just as good as the last visit.

Best Indian restaurant in town! Food consistently high quality every time. You can't go wrong choosing Spice Lounge 😊

Dreadful service on New Year's Eve the order was wrong took 90.mins. despite us calling a couple of days before to ask if we could.order in advance . Won't be using them again. Left a message but no call back. Feel cheated.

Never fails. The team expertly handled a group 17 hungry guys. Amazing food, best place for Indian. Not an easy achievement against some strong competition. Give this place a try.

Just had my family Xmas get together27 of us , I can’t praise this place enough , food was amazing. Staff were great x they went above and beyond….. definitely one to visit … well done spice lounge you are fabulous x

Brilliant food and top service on a packed Saturday eve

Great place to eat delicious food with a brilliant service! Definitely recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a great place to take family members that I have not seen for 56 years that are visiting from USA Food was excellent and service was second to none. Many thanks.

This is a delightful restaurant serving excellent Indian cuisine. The authentic dishes are delicious and the service is always top-notch. We have been coming here for our anniversary for many years and would thoroughly recommend it.

Excellent food, waiters are very obliging, polite and a good sense of humour. Always a pleasure visiting this restaurant.

Another great night out with friends Rabish made us welcome and the service and food were fantastic great sense of humour from the staff best Indian restaurant in Dunstable.

Reasonably priced. Food wasn't too bad- curry texture looked similar but tasted different.

As always food excellent bit too loud in there for me though

I can highly recommend this restaurant, food is amazing and staff are so friendly and restaurant is spotless. By far the best in the area we have been going here for about 2 years now and never once had a bad meal.

As a last minute outing looked at the reviews and chose this place. What a disappointment it was. To start with it was a hot day and there was no A/C in the restaurant. I did inquire a couple of times and the response was poor with not even acknowledgment. Then we ordered the food which arrived without delay. The Mutton Biriyani was tasteless with old pieces of meat and no flavour in the rice and full of oil. Chicken Korma tasted sweet. when inquired I was told that sugar has been added to it to make it sweet. It tested terrible and the whole meal was appalling. I will never visit this place again. This place is good for customers who doesn't understand about Indian food and used to the same tomato and ghee and cream based sauces. You should get better for your money.

Very good food, but I believe they have changed the menu and reduced the options as a result. This is one of the reasons I choose here over Vantage, so a tad disappointed. Maybe I am mistaken, but the proper measure of the complimentary liquor at the end cheered me up no end 👍

Ordered vindaloo and jalfrezi takeaways. Vindaloo was perfect, intense and perfectly flavoured, no complaints. Jalfrezi, very disappointing, watery sauce and bland. If this is Spice Lounge version of classic jalfrezi, its bottom of the list, have been eating this dish for at least 20 years up and down UK. Makes me wonder, did vindaloo come from same kitchen as jalfrezi? In both orders service was prompt and efficient.

We had a birthday sitting here on Sunday evening evening. Superb environment, food was delicious and the staff were very professional. Only downside was there was a long wait. But once the food started appearing it was go, go, go from there. Next time I'll visit with the Mrs.

Awesome food and service. Easily the best Indian restaurant in Dunstable. Had made this my regular and every time it’s spot on.

Wow what a great restaurant. Didn't book on a Saturday night so chanced our luck. Staff were fantastic only 10 minutes for a table even though it was heaving. Food was fantastic and quick from ordering. Would highly recommend

GREAT MEAL AT THE SPICE LOUNGE Three of us, after a few beers at the Victoria, we had three lovely main courses at the Spice Lounge. One had the lamb chops (4), I had a hot lamb curry dish, and the other, a chicken curry. There was also a lovely spinach and lentil side dish. A few more beers and after dinner liqueurs.

The service overall was fab. Staff were great along with the food service. I would recommend this restaurant due to the delicious food that was served and the staff members who were brill.

Really nice food, pleasant service and good wine. It's a while since I've been here and good to see they've kept their standards.

Good food. Bit quiet but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Will defo be back.

From the warm welcome to the excellent food, this is the best food in Dunstable. Absolutely delicious with amazing service.

I order food, long story never turn up. I understand you are busy but you must understand how to talk to your customer. can you please refund me my money soon as possible, so I can order food from some where, it was last money was in my card.

The worst experience ever, try to avoid it, all food was paid in advance which is never turn up, keep saying it will be there in a minute, finally cancel the order hopefully they will refund money, the guy was over the phone, very unprofessional and rude sound like bang.

Got food poising from here , do not recommend

horrible expereince , rude staff , food not delivered at all , not able to resolve problems

A nice restaurant in Dunstable. Food was good overall. Although chicken tikka needs improving.

Not been for a while and will be back

Really enjoyable Indian meal, good service too 👍

Food is amazing always great value for money. Always my first place to go to for a Indian,

Moved here from London where Indian food is amazing and bringing and Indian I know exactly what the food should taste like and what is all about….came to spice lounge for the first and last time with my two children who where also disappointed we ordered chilli paneer and what we got was a small plate of sautéed onions and peppers with 4 small pierces of paneer so we all got 1 piece each…what a joke!!! Not only that ordered veg pakoras got two flat potato cakes! This place is a joke and shouldn’t be open as it’s defo not serving proper Indian food plus it’s a ripoff for something so small and tasteless!! Would definitely not recommend this place to anyone!!!!

Disappointing service today. We had booked a table but had to wait half an hour to be seated. The food came quickly but the mushroom bharji that we ordered had metamorphosed into a mushroom biryani when the food arrived. There was no offer to refill our drinks and the bill was very slow coming at the end, even after we’d ordered it. The food was excellent quality and very tasty, but the experience was let down by the wait and poor service.

This was an extremely enjoyable experience - the ambiance was great: there was a high standard of service and, most importantly, the food was excellent. A visit to this establishment will be a must whenever I visit Dunstable.

Great place to eat staff excellent very good

Dobre jedzenie, mila obsluga i atmosfera. Bywa dosc glosno, ale miejsce naprawde ok.

Ordered a takeaway for the first time. Food arrived on time, piping hot and every dish was delicious - we will be ordering regularly from Spice Lounge in the future

Great food and service very friendly

Probably the best starters I’ve had out of all the restaurants I’ve been to. The service was 10/10..

I went there for a dinner. Food was so delicious that my belly ached from eating too much. Portions were quite generous as well. White table covers make it look stylish. Staff very attentive. I would definitely eat there again

Good service and good food but table we was placed at was very cold and drafty

A very nice pleasant restaurant, well-kept. Nice service. I recommend.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😎

Amazing food, so delicious and full of flavour. Service was impeccable. Best Indian we’ve EVER been to!

one of the best Indians I've eaten at. the staff were very attentive, the decor is decent and the food was amazing

They had a party booking of 15 men which made the restaurant very noisy. The food was excellent though.

Excellent food, excellent service

I am originally from London and so I'm used to eating good authentic Indian food, so after trying nearly all the places in town, I can say I finally found a good place. Spice Lounge is hands down the best Indian takeaway in LB. The chef knows what he's doing and their food is always tasty and genuinely good. We would only order a curry from them now. Give them a try if you want actual good Indian food.

lovely food at all times and incredible customer service! Never lets me down!

Been going to this restaurant for 5 years now and I really do enjoy the food and the staff are very nice and kind

My mother in law ordered our food, waited an hour and decided to call. Was told it would be here in a further 20 minutes, so waited a further 20 min and an additional 15 before calling once again. Was given nothing but attitude down the phone. My mother in law was left feeling very disappointed after being a loyal customer for the last 6 years. To top all of this off, our food arrived at room temperature. We will no longer be using spice lounge, nor will we be recommending. Spice lounge, do your local and loyal customers mean so little to you?

So disappointing Can’t believe that it takes 2 hours to produce a take away and deliver 2 minutes round the corner ! Food was tepid and both biriyani and pilau rice were small portions neither container was full. When called to query after 1 hour very offhand and dismissive telling be his colleague should have told me “an hour and something” I was not told this and since it was then over an hour I was appalled to hear 15-20 minutes till I could expect my food. Alas after 35 minutes food still not here phoned again interrupted by incoming call from spice lounge saying they missed my call. Then both hung up!!! Called again to be told he had located my order finally arrived after 2 hours. Will never use them again!

This is our favourite Indian in Dunstable, friendly service but also brilliant for takeaway and in our humble opinion best tasting curry in the area!

Just had a takeaway rice was very watery and makes the curry runny and watery too. Wont use them again.

Not bad had Tandoori Chicken on skillet with balti. Unfortunately the Balti was a bit bland but chicken was nice.

Perfect food, beautiful waiters, a wonderful evening as usual.

Great place very friendly: Good food.

We ordered a takeaway from this restaurant that a year ago was out favourite. A regular haunt for us and for my grandson. It was late arriving, stone cold. Not very nice and extremely expensive. Not the spice lounge we remember. The chicken was missing from the tikka masala. The mou mou was awful. The samosas were undercooked. In fact it was all horrible and most of it is in the bin. Shame

Tasty curry and didnt take long to come. Attentive, friendly and welcoming staff my favorite curry place in dunstable.

Busy restaurant, my choice of food was good, my hubby's was "not flavoursome" unfortunately staff were attentive.

Excellent restraunt good service and beautifully cooked food. Well worth a visit.

You rarely get tender lamb in a UK indian restaurant. Spice lounge lamb is always tender, and everything is well flavored. We have another curry restaurant across the road from our house, but only visit Spice Lounge as the food is so much better, and the service is great.

Good menu but very busy place and translates into a bit slower service than usual, but worth the wait for tasty meal.

Excellent service and great food, highly recommended.

Great tasting food and good service!

Nice food and nice service, bill seemed to change when paying and was to hot but overall nice place.

Had a takeaway i popped in to collect it and they did not disappoint with good size portions. Hot and delicious chicken dansac etc there was even enough for my breakfast the next day lol

Very nice meal out. Warm welcome everytime.

Went here for a family meal and it was absolutely gorgeous, not one complaint about the food or the service, would definitely recommend

Went to celebrate my birthday - had a great time with family, food was great!

You will be hard pressed to find a better Indian restaurant in Bedfordshire the food here is amazingly cooked and full of flavour always had a great meal here a must try for all curry fans

Fantastic meal. An excellent menu of usual options and some lovely signature dishes from the restaurant. Seafood platter starter for 2, lamb dansak, chicken raswhun were all beautifully cooked.

Always superb food and excellent service

Another great meal at the spice Lounge good service Tarrik and his team did us proud best Indian restaurant in Dunstable.

Wonderful food, really tasty and plenty of it. Great service and friendly staff. Lovely restaurant, couldn’t fault anything.

The Spice Lounge doesn't know what Butter Chicken is supposed to taste like.... No apologies for an awful home delivery.... We have just moved here from a country where we have eaten 'real' Indian food and wanted to order our first Indian in Dunstable. What...

No apologies for an awful home delivery.... We have just moved here from a country where we have eaten 'real' Indian food and wanted to order our first Indian in Dunstable. What an awful place! We had butter chicken and lamb biryani.... Simply put this is sub standard food. Both were inedible but when we called to ask if they were sure this was a butter chicken, as it was way too sickly sweet which is more like a passanda, we were told 'that's just how we make it' no apologies no questions. Has this place changed the chef lately as I just don't understand the reviews. We eat out and get take away a lot.... Not ever again from this place though! Absolutely disgusting in both food quality and service.

We had a great meal, prawn balti delicious.

rate this place good food and excellent service

We booked a table for 6 pm. Outstanding service and lovely food. Friendly staff, very helpful with choosing our food . Table was quiet and the screens are very good for privacy.. A great experience. Would highly recommend..

Friendly staff.Food was of good quality

Went with friends what a place great food service good atmosphere 10 out 10

Great food and great service, really good night 😆

One thing that tells you this is a place worth revisting, trying something new each time and not regretting it. This is a continued experience of our visits.

A good curry and good service. So nice to be going for a curry indoors again!

Slightly more expensive than other local Indian restaurants but worth every penny. Good size portions. Lovely fresh cooking. Be ordering from here for almost 2 years and would not change

Had a fantastic meal here tonight,service was great and and the food was delicious. Thank you to Rob our waiter .we will be back very soon.

Amazing food, amazing staff. So friendly and welcoming. Special thank you to Rob. We will be back!!!

Absolutely lovely food, very clean place.Had a lovely night,staff are fantastic ,thank you to Rob.

Best Indian takeaway I have ever had. Lamb Dhansak absolutely delicious.

Cannot fault it. Prompt delivery (as in when promised), delicious food. Have both dined in (last year, January) and had take-aways and I can honestly say it's the best traditional Indian food we've had in the area. The standards have stayed consistently high over a...

Ordered from here last week was ill for quite a while. Last few times we have used this place the food hasnt been upto scratch. One of us is normally ill. This place used to be decent I think it has gone down hill now, food isn't the same. Your best avoiding this place if I'm honest and finding another Indian else where

Brilliant, great food and service is excellent.

Good service, just a bit disappointed with the food... Too much food colouring without flavour. The peshwari bread was full of sugar with a strange orange colour... No great.
