Takeaway ordered this week, on arrival the waiter/frjont of house was very polite and welcoming. The food was very nice, lamb biriani was tasty and the lamb tender, the chicken vindaloo was one of the hotter vindaloos I have eaten but great texture on the sauce, the chicken was a little dry though but all round Id definitely try it again. John from Scunthorpe. 8.5/10

Having seen an article in hemel today which listed this as the no.1 curry house in the area we thought we'd give it a try. Having tried it, I have to wonder what planet all the people who voted for it are living on. Service was desperately slow, to the point of being comically bad at times. If it was a massive restaurant, or was massively busy i could understand it - but it isn't and it wasn't, there was only a couple of tables occupied. The interior is extremely dated and gives the ambience of eating in a bus or railway terminus. High spot of the terrible service for me was when they brought us 3 bottled cobra beers that we didn't order. They took them away, proceeded to fish the caps out of the bin and then put them back on the bottles and the bottles went into the fridge to be resold to the next unwitting customer. Then they brought us 3 kingfisher beers - which again we hadn't ordered. One of the waiting staff took it on himself to pour my beer into the glass so quickly that it overflowed, leaving me with a glass of 95% froth and a small amount of (now flat) beer. He set my glass onto a saucer as it was overflowing, and then just walked off without saying a word. I had to spend the rest of the meal watching my drink in case he tried to do this again. As for the food, i had the house starter which tasted like tinned curry from a supermarket shelf. My main course actually tasted ok, but was let down by cheap rubbery meat, the rice somehow managed to arrive with a film of grease on it, and the saag paneer had a total of 3 very small pieces of paneer in it. Not the worst dining experience i have ever had, but not far off it. I wouldn't go back if you paid me.

AVOID Do not order from this rude obnoxious business. Ordered a curry for me and my son on as he was staying over for the evening so decided to treat him to his favourite curry. I ordered through Uber Eats. Once the order arrived I tested our order which was: Chicken Madras Rice Plain naan. I can eat really hot food from Vindaloo/ Naga and even I found this dish ridiculously hot, it made me cough. I called the restaurant to say it was not what we ordered. They agree to send a new dish out. 15 minutes later another person at Marina Spice Lounge called to say it was the right dish. He then told me his chef told him it was a Madras, I asked again for a replacement dish as first agreed which was then refused. I then asked for a refund but was told no but was then told to drop the wrong dish off and they will replace it. I had no transport but then told me to never call again and he hung up. The dish had to be put in the bin. I've reported this shocking business. Totally poor customer service and rude staff. The picture added does not say Madras but was told I am lying. The dish added does not say Madras to me..
