Had a takeaway this evening and it was the worst Indian meal we have ever had. Firstly the order was supposed to be delivered in 45-50 mins, after 1 hour we called to ask about the delay and just got a lot of abuse from the manager, who said it would be another 10-15 mins. After the delivery we discovered only half the order had been sent, another call to the restaurant resulted in the rest of the order arriving quite quickly, we detected that the delivery person had only given us one bag instead if 2. The food was cold. Apart from the mixed grill and tge Chicken Korma the rest of the meal was very poor, the onion bahjees were inedible, the lamb tikka tough and tasteless. We will never order from this restaurant again.

me and my boyfriend came out for a treat and were extremely impressed with how good the service was. A young man named ethan was extremely helpfull when i first arrived i think he deserves a raise.

It was a delivery, we ordered online through village India restaurant, the meal costing more than £30 arrived an hour later, the food was awful, tasting partly of burnt or rancid oil, the pots of sauce I’m guessing were supposed to be mint sauces tasted sour & split when poured on rice, the onion bhajis were so over cooked, a complete waste of money, never again!,!,,,,,,

We went for our family Christmas Dinner and were made so welcome The young children were welcomed, the increasingly tipsy grownups were kindly tolerated and everyone was made happy welcome and relaxed. Thank you. xxx

Recomiendo este lugar a mis clientes y buenos amigos, me ha sido tener llamadas sin parar de contar mis clientes de negocios, proveedores y a mis amigos me dicen que ha estado allí un sábado por la noche y se han estado esperando y esperando y esperando! Así que pensé que ya es suficiente, así que reservamos una mesa para sábado por la noche y fuimos allí no hay menús en la mesa tuvimos que preguntar por ellas!Pedimos algunas represas Papa y después que tomaron nuestro pedido! tardó un poco en llegar, diría que más de una hora! La puerta estaba abriendo mucho y el viento estaba entrando en como estábamos sentados en la parte trasera del restaurante nos pareció que el frío, así que empecé a buscar estaban más que buscan Aster comida para llevar a todos los clientes en el restaurante.Fueron 26 clientes en el restaurante 3 camareros principales pero no podían atender a todos nosotros!Una señora estaba decía que la comida era para secar una señora había quemado verduras.Mi compañero preguntó acerca del café de licores que no sabía la diferencia que fuimos a preguntar y cuando pedimos una equivocada salió.Él era asienten todo el tiempo pero que no hablaban mucho inglés! Venga a chicos si estoy poner mi nombre por favor, resuelvan esto!Si no me Chase mi café nos hubiera estado allí 3 horas en vez estuvimos allí 2 horas y 40 minutos.Así que me gustaría pedir disculpas a mis clientes, proveedores y amigos.Si tienes 2-3 horas de sobra sábado noche, que es el lugar para ti.La comida estaba bien pero no está a la altura de mi primera visita.Ambiente como estar en una habitación en la parte delantera.Lo siento, no puedo volver.Hay muchos otros buenos restaurante hindú es ahora si quería asiento como que no me habría ido fuera que se olvidaron de nosotros!

The restaurant is clean and well-presented. We noted that although they were fairly busy, our needs were catered to throughout our evening. We had a personal touch of an ice cream cake with candles for my boyfriend's birthday! I would highly recommend dining here! Our food was a very high standard, the staff were lovely, the restaurant was comfortable and clean. Spot on!

I don't like too spicy food but went for a meal with work colleagues who do and was outnumbered! We went mid week so was only half full but still a good atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly very accommodating. The restaurant was spotless. I opted for tandoori mixed grill which was served piping hot at the table. It came with a rice and vegetable dish and salad AND a starter for£12 all in! I have a big appetite but couldn't eat it all and it was delicious. Not going to help my expanding waistline as want to go again, and soon!

We often get takeaways from this restaurant and decided one evening to eat in, we were the only people in the restuarant however I cannot fault the food. We often go out for a curry and the food was spot on, I had a chicken pathia nice amount of sauce and nice and spicy and my partner had a chicken tikka vindaloo, not the hottest around but was throughly enjoyed. This restuarant is huge and has alot of potentiona. We will visit again soon.

Don't go to Indian Restaurants very much as wife does not like them, but visited last night with son-in-law and Grandson and was pleasantly surprised. The menu is great with a lot of different choices from other Restaurants plus the usual. It was as good an Indian meal that I have had and would look forward to returning soon. Its very under-rated and was not full, but should have been. The portions are very good and the price is very reasonable. Roll on to. my next visit.

We visit this restaurant particularly when our friends are over from France (they love it and won't go anywhere else). During the last couple of years It has been consistently excellent, both food and service. You may have to wait a little longer for the food which is freshly cooked and beautifully presented. I have personally sampled many of the dishes and would say that for an 'English' Indian it is the nearest to the cuisine that I enjoy so much on my trips to Kerala,, brilliant. Our visits have always been on weekday evenings. I could not comment on the 'take-away' menu/service which I have not used.

We decided to give this restaurant a try after being weekly visitors when the restraunt was run by Shah and co.. We were very dissapointed with our food and also the waiters were very rude, we were asking advice on a dish and he just wasnt a bit helpful with any reccomendations at all. Very rushed between courses almost as if they wanted us out so they could close. We will not be returning but will drive to Grays, Essex to visit the REAL Village Indiya.

Always the best Chinese locally!!! Staff always nice & good reliable food. We always vary between smoked chicken, salt & chilli chicken/prawn, duck, seaweed, beef chow mein, anything in black bean sauce, prawn toast and rice & curry sauce. Portions are very good and prices are fairly reasonable (around £25 for 4 dishes delivered on average). Free prawn crackers & a bottle of drink too if spend over £30 I think. My only critique is wish they did normal mini veg spring rolls as don’t like these ones they are large battered! Sometimes a tad greasy but overall enjoyable!

You can walk into The Spice Lounge & be seated quickly, or you can book in advance, or order a delivery. I felt completely safe eating in, as the restaurant currently has seating spaced to adhere to Covid restrictions. The food & service is amazing, even though they are curently running a mid-week deal, meaning you save a lot of money off the bill. When I ordered a delivery I was pleasantly surprised, as normally deliveries from any restaurant is never as good a quality as dining in, but the quality of the deliveries from The Spice Lounge found the food to be equal quality as dining in, which is very unusual for most deliveries The service for deliveries is also as good as it is when you eat in & I was surprised to find that the owner delivered our food, I know the customer should always be right, but these days that doesn't seem to exist, but this place will mix up the menu if required, they have a huge selection for meat eater & vegans, they cater for allergies & although they do not have soya milk they have no objection to you taking your own with you. On Sundays they do an amazing buffet, again very reasonably priced. The staff & owner do their best to make you feel comfortable & were really good with my autistic son. I cannot fault his restaurant, the food, or the service, as nothing is any trouble for them & it's done with a smile
