Spice Lounge

Spice Lounge operates at the Carr House Road parade in the Belle Vue end of inner Doncaster, with the same telephone line linking it to the Al Raj and Gurkha Lounge branding that has traded from the same Carr House Road unit over the years — a single Nepalese-and-Indian kitchen running through successive front-of-house names. The current trading format leans Nepalese-Indian rather than the more standard Doncaster suburban curry-house menu, with the tandoori starters, biryani and the wider curry range supplemented by Nepalese-style dishes for the higher-spec evening orders. Reviewer scores come in strongly, with over a thousand customer ratings averaging close to 5 out of 5 — an unusually consistent base for an inner-Doncaster Indian takeaway. The Carr House Road position runs between Belle Vue and Hyde Park, with the racecourse and the Lakeside lakes a short drive east, and the shop's catchment covers most of inner south-east Doncaster. Opening runs from half past five in the evening into late, with Fridays extending past midnight to pick up the post-pub trade from the town-centre customers.
