The food was good. But the staff not so good. Not one smile between them all. Felt like they couldn’t be bothered with us. Definitely will not go there again. Service shocking.

What is going on with Indian restaurants that also serve takeaways as well as sit-down dining ? I'm getting fed up with the times I've had superb meal in the restaurant and then decide to get a takeaway from the same place and it's rubbish, totally different to the eat in experience. Do they have an untrained chef just to do takeaways ? This isn't a complaint about the Purple Lounge in general as it's happening everywhere. What's going on ? A takeaway costs nearly the same as a restaurant meal these days, so why can't it be the same quality ?

The Christmas meal was rubbish to say the least, not even close to a Christmas meal bad couldn't eat icost a lot for a plate of sprouts few carrots small Yorkshire pud and tinned turkey? That's was Christmas dinner not worth even a fiver.

Was really looking forward to eating here as was given really good reviews. I have a dairy intollerance, this is never usually an issue and know what usually does not have dairy in. The restaurant left me to look at the menu for 20 minutes and then told me I couldn't have anything on the menu. The only thing I could have was a chicken or lamb curry with boiled rice. That none of the other dishes could be given to me due to cross contamination. I know that there can always be cross contamination and this does not stop me from eating out. This is not an allergy or intollerance friendly place at all, I could have got just a lamb curry from any pub for cheaper! Will not be returning I would have walked out if I was not bringing my parents out for a special meal.Dietary restrictions: Will not give you anything except a lamb or curry with boiled rice as there is cross contamination

Having just ordered and waited 15 /20 minutes for a takeaway meal , I can honestly say this meal was very disappointing, lukewarm chips , lukewarm rice , warm tasteless chicken tikka masala , a Keema Nan that was wet and doughy , very nice building , but I went for a meal to take home by my car , not walking home , less than 5 minutes by car , not cheap, £27.50 for a takeaway curry that most of its ended up in the recycling bin is not good , staff not rushed of their feet , so no reason to be poor quality, sorry but just being honest , I didn't want to microwave it as I didn't know if the rice had already been done this way won't be going againParking: Retail park

Everything was cold, popadoms was stale. Only our second time ordering from here. First time was lovely food and hot. Don’t know what happened with this set meal for two but not one bit of it was worth it.

Ordered two meals,One didn't arrive, rice arrived cold.Phoned up, didn't get a sorry, and they hung up on me before I could ask for warm rice to be sent with our missing curry.Shocking customer service all around.

An insult to Indian food. This place came as a recommendation but,Purple lounge (owners & staff) should be embarrassed.Save your hard earned money.1/10
