Spice Lounge in Oxford

The food was amazing and the service was too. We started with papadam with three sauces plus a fresh onion salad, then had the meat sampler, spinach with chickpeas, and Naan. We had ordered more items but the waiter paced it so that we could decline what we didn't need. The ingredients were fresh and the seasoning was exceptional. I wish I could eat here more often, and strongly recommend it.

Friendly stuff good service excellent food excellent presentation very yummy

Me and a few friends booked a table at half seven, we where greeted and seated within 2 minutes. The waiter was great always checking if we needed any drinks making sure the food was nice. We ordered a selection of chicken biryani and tandoori chicken which was gorgeous and also a few starters of chicken tikka and lamb tikka which came with salad and sauce which was presented nice and tasted even better!

Very friendly and the food was great lamb was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious we'll definitely eat here again.

We were put right next to a very noisy party of 30+ people when there were empty tables at the other end of the restaurant.The food was very average, I had a curry with what they called a tandoori rosti nearly (£4)It was actually a 10p pita bread cut up.To cap it all off we were presented with the bill which they had already added £6 service charge. I promptly told them to remove it and the manager looked very disgruntled.I noticed the party table were also presented with the 10% charge added to their bill which must of been over £100 they were horrified. Im not sure if they paid it as I left asap.I suggest this place is avoided at all costs, im not even sure if what they are doing is legal. For me it's utterly disgusting how they hope you won't ask to have it removed out of embarrassment .Awful way to run a business 😕

This place is a bit hit and miss. Some dishes are tasty and good VfM whilst others are lacking for example the sad vegetable samosas for £4.45 - see picture. Sag paneer starter meanwhile is a happier experience for £4.75. See picture. The takeaway option could also do with improved packaging or in good old foil or fashionable wax cardboard trays - far more sustainable either way than disposable lunch boxes.

My boyfriend and I had great time in Spice Lounge, food was amazing, waiter very friendly, highly recommend.

Loved our experience at Spice Lounge! The menu has so much choice, all your standard curries you’d expect plus more I’d never heard of! Poppadoms and chutneys were some of the best I’ve ever had, all of our curries were delicious and distinct flavours, and the sides and the sharing platter were great too. Service was very friendly and welcoming and we felt really relaxed. Will definitely be making this our regular curry house!

We were passing through Oxford on our way back from Swindon and found the Spice Lounge courtesy of trip advisor.First impressions are OK, it was early Saturday night and unsurprisingly the restaurant dad a bit quiet given Covid and the high temperatures at the moment.Good Covid measures are in place which they were reassuringly taking seriously. The service was as good as it could be with our waiters wearing full face masks. It is a pleasant dining room but I reckon it could get quite noisy if there was a loud party or two given the hard surfaces and lack of soft furnishings.The menu is your typical Bangladeshi offering a bit limited and nothing different apart from the chicken garam masalla which I had not seen before. The onion bhajis at three tiddlers for over a fiver were pound for pound the most expensive I have eaten. I went for the garam masalla chicken as it was alegedly their most flavoursome dish. It was nice, great chicken but the sauce was a bit thin for my taste. I actually preferred the taste and texture of the wife's balti, she thought it was excellent but it was also a bit oily. No complaint with the sides, the naan better than the rice. Being from the midlands, the bill was very expensive for what we had, I know we are in Oxford but even so!It didn't end well when I was asked by the waiter if I would like to leave a tip, I usually do but never when asked.All in all not a bad evening and I would be more than happy to return.

Been here several times over the past few years. This place seems to get more and more expensive every time I come. The restaurant was clean,modern and fresh. The food was nice and the staff were friendly but to charge £3.15 for 1 nan bread is daylight robbery. The portions were average size.
