This is not meant to be disrespectful to the many 'Indian' restaurants in the area but the Ceylon Spice makes them all look average. The big big difference for me is that they (the owners) know how food should taste and have their own ideas. They haven't just cloned a menu because they think that is what you do! Food is perfectly spiced, proportioned and you don't get lost on the menu. My personal favourite has to be black pork with coconut rice. The restaurant has a lovely finish and the staff actually look like they want to be there. On a rare Saturday night off I visited and was charmed by the owners parents who where extremely happy that my 3 year old was enjoying authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. You just cant buy that!!!

Liverpool has done little to impress me on the curry front, until I decided to visit The Spice lounge which looked and sounded right up my street and how correct I was. As you would expect with restaurants in this area the decor was great and made you feel as though a meal here would be a real experience and this also turned out to be correct. The food is fantastic, it is prepared in charcoaled tandoori ovens and this is where The Spice Lounge really edges ahead of its rivals. They claim to be authentic and they are just that, they provide real food which tasted as though all the care in the world has gone into it. The prices are a little steep but the quality matches up so check it out as The Spice Lounge truly is the REAL deal.

The food comes in small bowls that don't look like they'll satisfy your hunger, but you'll be surprised. Vegetable Samosa 3 medium size samosas served hot on the outside and warm on the inside. The peas and potato mixture, mixed with seasoning, had a nice subtle kick to it. The green chutney that came with it had a nice cool minty taste and goes well with this dish. It was more liquidy than the typical green chutney, but can be used as a dressing on top of the small salad that this came with. This is a great starter that can satisfy a small hunger or used to excite the taste buds and get the stomach ready for the main course. Chicken Tikka Masala The sauce is tomatoey and creamy. Not spicy at all. There are good amounts of chicken swimming in the sauce. The chicken is well cooked and soaks up the tikka masala, giving you more flavor as you bite into the chicken. This is my favorite. Saag Paneer This was a bit too heavily seasoned with spices and a bit too salty, for me. I couldn't really taste the spinach or cheese in it. Maybe if eaten with naan, it would balance out the seasoning, but eating it with rice, did not. If you're a fan of ginger, this has a few bits and pieces big enough for you to chew on and appreciate. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite out of the three dishes I've tried here. Even if you're dining alone or out on a romantic night around the town, this is a great place to go to satisfy that craving for delicious Indian food.

It wasn't exactly that I was looking for a familiar face, I promise; no, that's just what found me,…read morewhen I least expected it, but perhaps most needed it. I walked into this place, Mowgli, for a business meeting with a colleague, late on a Friday night, around 10pm. We'd had to wait for a while to be seated. It was a busy Liverpool night, the evening before Derby Day. It was right when the hostess led us around the corner towards our table, one of the booths with small swinging rope chairs, like in your childhood friend's backyard, that I caught sight of her. The sight of that face, half obscured under blonde hair as she read her menu, so arrested me that the toe of my sneaker caught on the polished linoleum floor, almost tripping me and causing an embarrassing squeak. I was certain it was her, it was unmistakeable-- and yet, it was equally unlikely, nearly impossible. So far from home, so long since we'd last met. Why, how, here in Liverpool, of all places? Even though I knew it couldn't have been the friend I remembered, I couldn't convince myself entirely otherwise. I remained in a state of agitation as we sat down, unable to fully dispel the nagging thought that a long-lost acquaintance was here, in the room, and even though she hadn't even seen me gawking as I passed, I felt I was violating some social code in avoiding greeting her. We ordered, and I ate, trying to hide my distraction, though I'm sure it registered to my colleague. I kept stealing glances towards that table near the door, probably appearing shifty, like the cops were after me. Only because of his gracious nature did my colleague steer the conversation and avoid awkward silences while we were supposed to be ironing out the finer points of the Q3 fiscal plan. Just after we got our third shared course, the Goan Fish Curry, the woman got up, put on her coat, and left. I realized I'd never know, and somehow, that thought felt torturous. Then, as she neared the front door, she turned and looked right at me from across the dining room, my bite of paneer and roti catching in my esophagus-- but no, she was looking behind me, as her companion left the restroom behind our table. And then, in a moment, there was no doubt left in the whole universe. I took a bite of the Chat Yogurt Bomb, and as it burst and gushed sweet yogurt in my mouth, she looked back once again, waved, and winked, this time unmistakably. It was a moment of Proustian, epiphanic confusion. Suddenly, the taste of the Chat reminded me that the last time I'd had that dish, years ago now in New York, had been sitting with her on one of the last times we saw each other. As I left the dinner in something of a mixed state of shellshock and acute nostalgia, I gradually realized that it couldn't possibly have been my friend, the woman whom I thought I saw. It was impossible, because I knew she was in New York. So, whoever I'd seen must really have just been some nice scouse woman with a passing resemblance, maybe enhanced by the moody ambience of the restaurant. And yet, somehow it really was her. Yes, I was tired, yes it was late, yes I've been under a lot of stress lately... and, no, it couldn't have been her. But somehow the paradox persists. That night it both wasn't, and also was, Emma. Emma, my dear old friend, a friend I miss. If you find yourself here at Mowgli Bold Street, be prepared for the impossible. Be prepared for apparitions of a friend from times bygone that you wish you could give a hi five to, but don't know when you'll have the chance to next. It's a bittersweet experience. We ate the Chat Bombs, Paneer, Fish Curry, and Mowgli's take on Chicken Tikka Masala. It was all good, tamarind and citrusy flavors in the sauces predominate, at least in the dishes we ordered. It's her birthday next month, on the 20th. I never forget a friend's birthday. Maybe I'll send her a postcard ahead of time to wish her well.

Management couldn't clearly explain why, other than saying, "We don't allow 5 people to share one menu."

First, it is a tapas-style dine, which if you know me, is already setting you up for massive success. Getting to sample a lit bit of everything? And in an Indian restaurant to boot??? Sign me up every week! We were encouraged by our server to order 3 items per person, keeping in line with the tapas framework. I suspected this was misleading, and it was! We probably left half the food we ordered behind. These were NOT tapas portions. It was an insane amount of food for two people. The saddest part is we didn't want to take any leftovers back the hotel. Out of all the dishes we ordered, maybe one dish had the right balance. Everything else was sickeningly sweet, like ketchup was the main ingredient. On top of that, some dishes were very spicy. I'm not talking caucasian spicy, I'm talking "whoa, did the top fall off the shaker" spicy. Let me remind you, we eat Vindaloo-level curries on the regular. The dishes were just generally very overbalanced: too much heat in some dishes combined with stomach-churning sweetness. It just was not what we are accustomed to. That being said, the interior is really beautiful, and it's not a terrible place by any stretch. I would say a solid 3.5 stars. This might be the best Indian in Liverpool. I don't know, I'm not local. But if I spend more time in Liverpool, I will be seeking out other Indian options before returning here. Try it out! You might be the person they're cooking for.
