Spice Lounge Express - Ribble Valley

Paid a visit on Saturday night and had a very good curry. I told them what I normally like and asked them to recommend something different, my wife did the same. The dishes that we were served with were both excellent; very tasty and decent portion sizes too. Makes a good addition to the Clitheroe takeaway options.

I've finally found a fantastic indian takeaway in Clitheroe that's reasonably priced. I've had approx half a dozen takeaways and they arrive in good time, lovely staff and the food is just superb....every single time. I have to hold myself back from ordering more often as they are SO good. I thought i'd write a review as i want them to be a success and stay around for a long time to come. My partner isn't on trip advisor but he loves their curries too.....he orders hotter dishes than me. I can recommend the chicken bhuna.

We decided to give Spice Lounge the benefit of the doubt. The first time we picked up our order and the food was okay, nothing special. We didn't wait long and found it reasonably priced. The second time we ordered online from their website. The ETA was 6.45pm but the food didn't arrive till 7.15pm which we didn't really mind. However the food was freezing cold and we had to re-heat it. We spent £25 and didn't receive any free popadoms. I don't think we will rush back as there are far better Indians in Clitheroe.

Over the years I must have eaten many curries, so I like to think I know what I 'm talking about. I ordered the Chicken Lounge Special which is described as diced marinated chicken. For some reason the meat had been sliced into thin batons and was a bit chewy as though it had been pre-cooked. The meat was also very grainy in texture, much like turkey! I couldn 't face eating this strange meat, so the curry ended up in the bin. It 's a poor do when the meat can 't be identified! I have never been so disappointed with a takeaway curry and will definitely not return.

The Spice Lounge Express on Whalley Road in Clitheroe is an excellent Indian takeaway. They offer a wide variety of options on their menu including appetizers, seafood starters, meat and poultry starters, vegetable starters, shashlik dishes, tandoori dishes, popular dishes, biryani dishes, and special signature dishes. There is something for everyone here, so come and enjoy a delicious meal.
