Lounge India - Central Bedfordshire

Great food however unfortunately the delivery driver was rude on arrival. Won’t order delivery again. Shame

THIS RESTAURANT HAS CHANGED ITS NAME TO 'IVORY LOUNGE ' Perfect (or nearly). I left the choice of dishes to my waiter. Preparation, presentation, cooking, flavours and appearance were all perfect. I had Garlic King Prawns and Hyderabadi Chicken with Aloo Gobi and Onion Garlic Rice. With a pint of lager and spicy popadom with chutney tray to start, the total bill was £36.45. I ate exactly half, so will have the remainder at home tomorrow. Service was discreet, helpful and friendly. There was only one negative: I wanted to end the meal with some Kulfi, but not only was there no Kulfi, but there weas no dessert of any sort.

This is our second visit to this restaurant, even though we live about 30 minutes away it is certainly worth the journey. The food is really delicious, everything tasted really fresh and was piping ho,t not one of us had a bad word to say about the meal. The decor is lovely, very clean and tidy and we found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be going back again.

We are new to the area so we thought we would try out the local Indian takeaways. I’m sorry to say I was very disappointed with the food. My husband collected it , as we often find delivered food is cold, and it was ready quickly. It was hot when it arrived. Unfortunately my chicken tikka was very red, which would suggest too much food colouring and very very sweet. We shared a pashwari naan which I know is a bit sweet but it was really sickly sweet. I have a sweet tooth but this was something else. We won’t be ordering from this restaurant again.

Saved the best til last. We tried every single Indian restaurant since we moved here and definitely the best. Excellent Jalfrezi, spicy but very flavourful, lovely Madras with just the right amount of spice, Rogan Josh was sublime. We also had bindi Bhaji, fresh and moist, tarka dhal was a melt in the mouth experience, Bagian (aubergine) absolutely lovely. Definitely worth a proper sit down visit when it all reopens. Well done!!
