Lounge India Chelmsford — Restaurant in Chelmsford

Tried Lounge India this evening and have to say, I was a little disappointed. To be very fair to them, my taste buds have changed somewhat since I got Cancer but have eaten my favourite: Chicken Biryani comparing it to this one and enjoyed it more at the previous restaurant than I did this time. I ordered a very, very mild Biryani but it didn’t taste as nice as previous one that tried at a different restaurant but that’s not to say maybe my taste buds have changed again! It did seem to be a bit hotter at lounge India - compared to the other one. I can say though that the chapati I had certainly wasn’t as nice as previous ones eaten, texture was a bit rubbery at Lounge India, as opposed to more of a drier/floury taste of previous ones (as it should be). That I can say in all honesty - not as nice. I tried to change my order before it was brought out to a cheesy Naan but told it was too late. My fault though but wish they had done this for me. Nice to get the extra’s given to me (which is usual in most Indian restaurants) dips, popadoms, raw onion etc., but sadly I personally couldn’t give it top marks. Staff were very polite and there appeared to be lots of them - so waiting times was cut to a minimum. I will however, return to the previous restaurant to compare again - as I think it only fair to do this. I would like to then come back and leave feedback again and if wrong, I’ll be the first to say so. So why am I leaving feedback now? Because as a new business, I think it important to give early feedback so customers can quickly compare both restaurants. The other was in little Baddow. I’ve not left the name at this point. I would however like to wish good luck to Lounge India and as said, if I’ve been unfair to them, I will apologise profusely., and will be the first to say so...

A Culinary Gem in Chelmsford – Lounge India Sets the Standard

From the moment I stepped into Lounge India in Chelmsford, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between contemporary elegance and warm hospitality, but it's the service and food that truly set this place apart. Simply put: this may be the best restaurant in the area.

The staff were exceptional—attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely passionate about the dining experience they offer. From the moment we were seated, we were made to feel welcome, as though we were longtime regulars returning home.

And then there’s the food—fresh, vibrant, and made to order. Every dish was bursting with flavor, clearly prepared with care and an expert understanding of spice and balance. You can taste the freshness in every bite; this isn’t reheated or rushed cuisine—this is food crafted with intention. Whether you're trying a classic curry or one of their signature dishes, each plate arrives as a masterpiece in both presentation and taste.

What’s even more impressive is the consistency across the board. Every course exceeded expectations—from starters to mains to the final sip of a perfectly brewed chai.

Lounge India is more than a meal; it’s an experience. And in a town with plenty of dining options, it confidently rises above the rest. If you’re looking for phenomenal food, five-star service, and an atmosphere that feels both upscale and inviting, this is the place. An...

The food is terrific. However my friends and I have spent the last meal there after going each Friday since the opening of the restaurant due to the apparent manager on shift commenting to one of the group that he dud not like us asking for ' extra mints ' (£0.02p from the profit of a weekly meal of £108 to £111) and the false accusation of being sworn at which was not true as I was in the doorway departing and no such words were used even in any sense. If the manager had any concerns over the years we have been going surely a polite conversation on anything would have been adult over harbouring any resentment. This was the same manager who when we had finished dining flicked the lights on and off to show he wanted to close a few weeks ago and moaning from the bar 'I have a long journey ' over again just saying ' guys sorry we are closing in xxxx minutes would you mind hurrying up please' De escalating the matter by just being adult would have avoided this entirely and that is a great shame because the food is...
