About Purple Lounge

Purple Lounge is an Indian restaurant in the Ellesmere Shopping Centre in Walkden, Manchester, next door to Aldi. The dining room has been newly refurbished and is fully air-conditioned, with individual booths alongside other seating areas. The restaurant holds a 5-star hygiene rating from Salford Council. The menu pairs curries, madras among them, with steaks, so the choice runs beyond the usual curry list. The kitchen cooks Indian dishes in both classic and contemporary styles, and the spice level can be tailored to each customer.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the food at Purple Lounge, with one diner calling the curry very tasty and another saying the spice was tailored to their liking, alongside good portion sizes and a nice atmosphere with different seating areas. Friendly staff come up repeatedly, and one reviewer had a bill at full price quickly corrected when asked. Slow service is the most common complaint, including slow drinks and a sense that it was slow even when the restaurant was not busy. Dishes draw mixed reactions: the steaks were described as a bit too chewy, a madras had little flavour and just spice, and a takeaway order had sweet chicken and bland rice. One diner with an allergy had an ingredient added without warning, and the item was replaced straight away. Another asked for leftovers to be bagged, then found two chicken curries missing at home, and a promised call back never came.
