"Please do not expect good desi food here. The staff and owners are very nice so it pains me to have to write the rest of this review, please accept my apologies in advance. From purely a managerial sense you seem to run an amazing restaurant. Let me preface this by saying my standards are not high, and I assure you I am quite happy eating those tescos indian microwave meals. I have been to spice lounge around 12 13 times for various socials and events and I must say very few dishes here are even remotely passable. Expect bland, over sweetened, and often very strange flavours. I keep going here again and again after reading the reviews and assuming something is wrong with me. Why cant I enjoy these dishes? The service is very nice, attentive, and honestly I have no complaints, the wait staff employed here at the moment are very good. the restaurant and ambience are also quite frankly better than a few few places in durham and the location is excellent. I just cannot recommend the food. Here are a list of items I have ordered over the years which I have had multiple times and would steer clear of: Starters: Onion Bhaji ,Samosa, Paneer Tikka Starter, Hariali Chicken Tikka. Chicken Tikka Starter Mains : Makhani, Madras, Dupiaza, Pasanda, Bhuna, Rogan Josh (In chicken, chicken tikka, lamb, lamb tikka) Biryanis : Chicken and Chicken Tikka Biryani Grills: All. Dishes you should/can order: Naan (the naans are not bad, they are a little thick, I wouldnt go just for naan but its no worse than other places)"

Don't know what but the tikka chicken and the tandoori chicken are absolutely brilliant lately

Had a meal here on an evening with a bunch of workmates.The food was lovely as we all had maindishes with rice washed down with pints of cobra. The service was excellent as well good food and drink. Highly recommend a visit.

Great food, but poor service and atmosphere. Long wait despite booking a table. One of our starters was forgotten about and we had to ask multiple times for the bill. Whole restaurant feels too cramped with every table on top of each other and waiters struggling to get around.

Visited three times this week while working in Durham. It’s not a big place and parties are advised to book but they did their best to accommodate a solo diner which was good. I had a couple of lamb based special dishes which come complete with a potato side and rice. The lamb chop version was particularly good but prepare to get in a mess. Well worth it. Tandoori cookery is precise and my chicken tikka starter was moist as it should be and spot on for spicing. I’ve enjoyed Alishaan in the past but this is much better value and my go to place next time in Durham.

"started really well and went to the counter and ordered a cream with bananas and nutella and especially gave no earthberries I also asked after a san pelegríno still water as this was on the menu. I was the first person to order and the last to eat at the end. I brought my water over which was a cheaper brand water I just had £2 for what I would like to have seen? we will, when asked for san pelligrino to say water that they do not in. Finally my crepe and I take a bite and understand that it is earthly on the whole species and wise by which I am allergic. one of my family members takes it back and says that I have asked for bananas, there is no earthly reason why I cannot eat it and did not want it on my crepe. then 5 minutes later another crêpe comes out, who was my bite crêpe, that someone had put the earthy and banan in the bananas. disgusting ... not sure whether this was a mistake or just stingy either as it did not. it is then returned because there is no way I eat, and it is explained again, there is a reason that I can not eat strawberries, to which then one of the owners passes to serve the right crepe and apology. I really hope that today a lection has been learned because cross-contamination is not a sweat. please be careful when they eat there. I didn't get any refunds offered, but then they were ready to serve me a bite crawl, so it didn't surprise me so much."
