Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Spice lounge, great location, friendly staff. Great service Food delicious, we had butter chicken, Naan - plain, garlic and butter - great texture, not thick. rice fluffy and light. Beef Vindaloo (hot and spicy) - beef very tender and fell apart, fantastic heat and flavour , this was the best vindaloo I have had. Nice and hot, and you could taste the flavours fo the spices. I would definitely recommend.

We have been coming to Spice Lounge at least once per week for several years and always look forward to our visits. We keep coming back because we believe it is still the best Indian restaurant in Tasmania of the many we have tried. The food is delicious, freshly prepared and attention is given to individual preferences and special dietary needs. Prices are reasonable and staff are friendly, welcoming, and do everything to ensure customers are happy with the food and service. Conveniently located with lovely views over the water. Would highly recommend to others.

We are locals and have kept coming back at least once per week for the past few years because in our experience, this is the best Indian restaurant in Tasmania out of the many we have tried. The food is delicious, with generous serves and there is a good standard of cleanliness. The staff have become like family with their friendly, helpful service, careful listening to customer needs and attention to detail. The location is lovely with views over the marina to the wooded hills. We have recommended this restaurant to many others and will continue to do so as we believe they will be not be disappointed.

We had had a big lunch during the day and wanted a quick not too big dinner. Staying nearby at Peppers Seaport, we discovered Spice, an Indian Punjabi cuisine restaurant on the boardwalk, and were seated by the window looking over the marina. The decor is smart with black tablecloths, white paper overlays. The butter chicken and lamb rogan josh with rice and pappadums were delicious, full of flavour and beautifully presented. They had warned us when we arrived that their oven was broken so there were no rotis or naans, which was fine by us. They also closed early (8.15) which meant we were a little rushed and couldn't linger over our wine. Would definitely return!

For lovers of Punjabi / Indian food beautifully prepared and presented the Spice Lounge is the restaurant you deserve.
The location is perfect. The environment and style of the restaurant is comfortable and relaxed.
The staff are without exception helpful , knowledgeable and informed regarding the various dishes on the menu.
Every dish that we have ordered has always had us wishing for more, the tastes , flavours, delicacy of the various herbs and spices employed by the masters in the kitchen are awe inspiring.
Everything you order will have been prepared in time to allow perfusion of the various spices, then cooked freshly to satisfy even the most demanding palate.
Always an experience to enjoy for the moment and look back upon with extreme pleasure.

The atmosphere was nice when we first arrived, nice, cool and quiet. All that quickly changed, extremely hot and loud. Waitress did not smile once or check on our table once dinner was served, did not ask if we wanted further drinks, more water or to refill our bowls are we ordered a banquet…couldn’t finish our entire meal, was not allowed to takeaway any leftovers as it was not allowed if having the banquet for two.. this is not stated in the menu.. very disappointed by the lack of service, the staff all looked unhappy. Very expensive experience.

Having lived in Australia for four years I’ve always been disappointed in EVERY type of curry I’ve tried down under.
Spice lounge have changed my mind FINALLY! The madras served ‘Indian hot’ (their works) was amazing and I highly recommend it to everyone else!
Give them a try!

Friends who live in Launceston and have raved about this restaurant met us at Spice Lounge for dinner for a catch up.
We visit Launceston once or twice a year and struggle to find a venue that’s value for money.
Spice Lounge fits the bill.
Well set out and spacious with views over the yacht squadron and then captivated by the twinkling lights of Trevallyn we were met by our waiter.
Our friends joined us.
Shared entree platters. Exquisite mouthfuls.
We chose a fish curry each and our friends a chicken and a beef curry. A glass of wine each to accompany our mains.
My partner and I believe that the Spice Lounge has given us our best Indian meal. Bar none.
Thanks to our friends for the recommendation and a special thank you to the front of house team (and the chefs out the back!).

We were a family of 4 and were seated very promptly and ordered entrees with along with meal for the kids plus drinks for me and my wife.
Entrees were served within 15mins which was good however the rest of our meal took close to an hour to get to our table.
When I inquired of why the delay, the response was that since our partial order has been served the rest has been delayed.
Happy to give an average review as the kids were happy with the meal and so was the Mrs.
Suggest to not visit during busy times unless you have a lot of time on you to wait.

As a POM exiled in Australia I am missing a good curry. So I am always cautious.
Spice Lounge delivers with very tasty dishes, well prepared and presented. Reasonable prices . With good views from its waterfront location.

Waiters don’t know what customer service is. We had to go & get them to ask for things. Food wasn’t authentic I had Chicken Tikka Marsala which didn’t taste like Tikka at all. You need to pay for rice & bread seperate I wasn’t happy. How can you go to Indian restaurant & order a meal only to be told you need to order rice which is the main thing to go with curry. It’s like ordering fish & chips & to pay for chips separately.

I was a little optimistic about trying Indian food because I don’t like hot spicy food but wow this is so damn packed with flavour and you can request not to have it hot. The staff are very helpful with the knowledge of their cuisine and will suggest a dish to your liking, the atmosphere was nice and very reasonably priced for a good hearty meal. Very impressed, we’ll be back again very soon.

Recommended by our Indian Taxi Driver, this Indian restaurant was not only in a great location next to the mariner in the ESK River, but also had excellently made food.
Tandoori Barramundi was the pick of the dishes. The daal, prawn and paneer dishes were also very good and fortunately didn’t leave us with a heavy residual feeling that other Indian dishes do.

To dine at the Spice Lounge is to experience the finest Indian cuisine available outside the subcontinent.
The last occasion on which I enjoyed such incredible food , expertly prepared and beautifully presented, was in New Delhi’s top restaurant. But that is a different story.
Every dish has been expertly prepared and appropriate time allowed for the spices used to infuse the ingredients.
The attention to detail in the cooking process is exceptional. Every dish on the comprehensive menu will satisfy the most discerning diner.
These comments are based on our experiences gained from the many occasions upon which we have had the pleasure of dining at the Spice Lounge.

The curries here are not authentic at all. We ordered a chicken jalfrezi and a veg madras. The jalfrezi had carrot in it, and the veg madras has baby corn and carrots in it, which is really odd and the madras, which is supposed to be spicy was the complete opposite- more like a coconut korma. It didn’t even have potatoes. This is the most Western Indian food I have ever had, it is disappointing that they are veering away from authenticity. There is also soy sauce fried rice on the menu which says it all really. When we mentioned the concerns around the veg madras curry to the waitress she just told us that madras is coconut based, which isn’t true, and to try something else next time. We won’t be returning.
