The Lounge in County Durham

What a hidden gem in Durham City!!! Have no idea how I have missed this Restaurant all these years. Service was efficient & attentive & food was by far the best I have experienced in Durham. We booked for a later time & rang to see if we could bring the time forward & it was not a problem. Thank you for a fabulous night with friends & see you again soon. You richly deserve your recent award.

Came across this little Gem on a one night stay in Durham. Food was absolutely incredible. Best meal out I’ve had in a long time.. highly recommend..

Great tasting food with generous portion sizes. Also accommodating with time, when we got slightly lost finding the place.

It was very busy so decided to get a takeaway which was absolutely superb. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our food was ready in 10mins which was really good considering how busy they were. Food quality was exceptional. Well recommended them.

This is a fantastic place to order from if you are on an election campaign and want to have a party when indoor gatherings are banned with your colleagues. The Chicken Karmer especially was delicious, and the beers really made me think it was a work event and not a party. Cheers for organising it all Sir Keir!

Had a lovely takeaway with my colleagues in April of 2021. Wasn’t allowed to talk about it until now but hey ho it’s out now. Lovely food, lovely beer and great company.

Was busy when we arrived first time and we hadn't booked so they couldn't seat use but kindly told is to come back in 30 minutes. So 30 minutes later we returned go seated straight away so happy daysService was friendly and efficient and food arrived quickly once the order had gone in and was all very tasty. All in all a great visit will definitely return.

For me and my group of friends this is by far the best Indian restaurant we have tried in the area.Firstly the staff are really helpful and are always attentive.The food is top class and very reasonably priced. Ideal location for the city centre, I can't recommend it enough,

Undercooked aubergines (how hard is that?) Unimpressive service overall: late, and waiters mostly focuse on their buddy eating at the next table. They even sat with them and ate. How unprofessional is that? ...not to mention them amiably having a conversation while you asked for the bill (heck ive had enough and just want to leave) and keeping you waiting. I would consider their service terrible, and food mediocre.

Great service with cosy environment & tasty food for reasonable prices :) would recommend 👍
