This restaurant appears in the TA listings as the best Indian restaurant in Upminster & ,having visited for the first time, I am left wondering why.The welcome was friendly and efficient so a good first impression.Drinks and the usual poppadoms arrived in a timely manner also.I personally found the menu to be uninspiring & rather limited,but I know from experience that a limited menu can be a good thing, as a few dishes well prepared is preferable to many average dishes.We had a slightly longer wait than is usual, for our main courses,but nothing excessive .My wife and I found out North Indian chicken dish to be bland with none of the spiciness expected from this dish.Our side dishes were also severely lacking in flavour and rather disappointing.As mentioned,the staff were friendly and the premises were clean & modern & if you are new to Indian food you may well enjoy an evening here.If however you are a seasoned ruby lover, and you judge a restaurant on the quality of the food, then you might want to look elsewhere.

We visit at least once a month and the food and service have always been great. An excellent choice of dishes with the Jingray Sag Paneer a particular highlight. Don't miss the Chef's Starters.

Went in for a meal with colleagues who had flown in late and was greeted with friendly service. Drinks and starters came quickly and the mains were all tasty and without lurid colours but with good tastes and flavours. Overall good value for money and friendly...yes you can get posher food but for a good standard curry this was very good.

We are regular visitors but brought some business partners to enjoy the same welcome and excellent food we often get. Our 8 business friends were really impressed with the service as we came early on the Friday evening, the food was served quickly and efficiently and they thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine. It was also a joy to interact with the staff of how the food was prepared and different spices they use. So we ended up with a very successful evening. I would thoroughly recommend them for any occasion.

Ate here tonight. The food was excellent. The service was fine but unfriendly. The service needs to be worked on.The biggest problem is the fact that they have one toilet for the entire restaurant. This simply isnt good enough and needs sorting out.

I have visited The Passage a number of times and have generally been satisfied. We know that it is expensive, but generally the portion size is good and the quality of food good. This time, however, I was not so satisfied. I ordered a meat dansak, which generally has quite a contrast in flavours: the sweet and the sour. This time it was just bland, like something you might buy in a supermarket. I appreciate that they are catering to middle class, white customers who might not appreciate the pungent flavours of Bangla Desh so much, but please, can they not serve dishes with a bit more 'bite' to them?.I ate a Vindaloo in there recently and it was pretty tame. Also, the guy who mentioned the abundance of salt was spot on. Service was excellent.

Been a while since I've been in this restaurant but after a particularly boozy session a curry seemed like an excellent idea.We didn't bother with any starters but the poppadoms with chutney / pickle etc. made for an excellent appetiser.I had chicken jalfrezi with boiled rice an onion bhaji & keema nann and all the food was great, it soaked up the beer I'd had earlier nicely.Service was good but the restaurant was more or less empty so that was no surprise really.On reflection today with a clearer head the bill was on the high side working out at roughly £25 a head but then we'd all had a beer and a brandy each so that's probably why.Anyway, very good on this occasion but, from my previous visits, I know this isn't always the case.

I've been here a handful of times now and every time it's been of a consistently high standard. The owner is wonderful - always welcoming and remembers who we are (and our children, even though we've only taken them once).The restaurant is a nice size - probably seats around 30 people. The food is always freshly prepared and tasty.A place we will keep going back to.

Reviewed By Jodene M
It was our first visit to the Tandoori Lounge.We called for a reservation 30 minutes ahead on a busy Saturday night...and I could barely hear over the background noise, which was lively chatter.The restaurant is easy to miss on the corner and the interior is dark. There isn't any parking, so we parked in a side-street a bit further down the road.The restaurant is fairly small and simply furnished...almost to the point of being plain. The dark wooden tables and floors don't do much to absorb the noise - which was almost a little to loud.The menu is regional and fairly simple - not pages of dishes and they don't contain the usual suspects...as I said it's different! Don't go here if you expect Vindaloo, or Bhuna. It does have some staples such as chicken tikka, samosas and butter chicken. We ordered plain popadoms - there are 3 varieties to chose from. The disappointing thing was the accompaniments that go with them...3 fairly basic sauces - mint, mango chutney and one other. For me it was missing a home-made lime pickle, shredded onion etc. For starters I ordered a meat samosa (approx £3.95) and my husband ordered tandori lamb chops (£12.95). The meat samosa was very small and wasn't packed full - it also came with 2 different sauces squiggled accross the plate in a fancy pattern. It looked pretty but I would have preferred it on the side where I could have used it as I wanted. The chops came on a sizzling platter - dramatic for effect but the spices burning in the sizzling pan makes you cough when it catches in your throat...several people on surrounding tables were coughing too. It happened again later when somebody else ordered them. We got 4 chops which were meaty and fairly flavoursome.For mains I had a lamb dish which I ordered medium spice. The difference about this place is your chose your dish and they make it to spiceyness you specify. I'm not sure if this is a good thing as it's probably a stock sauce that they add more chilli powder to get it to heat you've chosen, rather than made that way from the start. My husband ordered butter chicken which he asked for extra hot - he liked it. We ordered 2 nans - one fire-hot chilli and one perswari (it wasn't called that but it was similar)...these were very nice. My daughter (8 years) had chicken nuggets and chips (£5). The chips/fries were luke warm and a little bit wooden. The chicken nuggets were clearly home made, tasted very nice but were a little bit greasy. It might seem slightly pricier than other Indian/Pakistani restaurants but the portions are large - we couldn't eat it all. If you have the Meerket app/deal you can go here mid-week and enjoy the 2 for 1 offer which I would suggest if you want try it for the first time.Drinks - my husband had a pint of Cobra (on tap - approx £5) and I had a sweet lasi (approx £3.95) which was very nice.The service was friendly but disorganised. One waitress took my drinks order, then another would come over a few minutues later and ask to take our drinks order etc. I asked twice if the door could be shut - it rained all day and it was damp and slightly chilly outside. I was told yes, but nobody shut it. This restaurant was OK but the true test is would we go back...and the answer is no. In our opinion it doesn't take the crown from the Indian Ocean..Dear Jodene, Thank you for taking the time to review your visit at Tandoori Lounge. We are sorry to hear you find it difficult to find parking, however our website points out the best place to park is directly behind our restaurant at Fentiman Way car park. It's a public car park open 24hours a day, all you have to do is walk through the walk way to the high street and we are located on your left. Our decor reflects modern day living, chic and simplistic, unlike the typical Indian restaurant decor, of which you have rightly mentioned our food is not, we serve authentic North Indian Punjabi Cuisine, which means you will not find the Bhunas and Chicken Tikka Masala here as mentioned, as you would at Indian Ocean. We pride ourselves in presenting our freshly cooked food, cooked per order, where we are able to alter the spices to whatever you require. Our Popadoms, all come with again homemade dips and we offer a range of which one of them are the Masala popadoms, which come with the onion, tomato and coriander topping also if requested lime pickle would also have been an option.Im sorry you found our service disorganised, however we like to see that every guest is looked after to the highest standard, that's why I came over as the owner after my waitress had taken your drinks order to make sure that you were ok. The door was open for a short while as we had 2 big parties leaving for the evening, however it was promptly shut once the last guests had left.Im glad you enjoyed your food and drink, and even took a doggy bag home, but disappointed that our cuisine did not meet your usual high street curry house standard for you to return.Thank you for your visit, we hope you do give us another try.Owner - Tandoori Lounge
