Best food I've had in Derby, so many different options and flavours.

The decor is so nice and I love the colour scheme.

Did my cousins 18th here and booked the whole of the upstairs.

Staff were really attentive and lovely.

This is my go to restaurant in Derby. My family and I eat here often; the owner and his front of house team are very hospitable and lovely. The prayer room upstairs is amazing as my family plan our day around praying 5 times a day, this just makes eating out in the evenings so much easier. As well as the atmosphere, the food is absolutely lovely, we don’t finish our food but we always ask for containers to take it home lol

It’s one of our favourites and we will certainly be returning in a few weeks.

Delicious food! Wow to the yummyness!! Definitely recommend just for the food. Decor was lovely and had a special feel to it.

The waiter was lovely and polite and was happy to serve us. We did seem to wait a while to get asked for our order though and also for our main after our starter.
Possibly a bit of confusion and miscommunication as we wanted one starter with the main.

Poor waiter guy didn't know though. He was really lovely!!

The food was delicious though and I highly recommend this place.

Good friendly service, with a disco interior. A post office van wanted to take my parking space, the cheeky monkey. Otherwise parking space around the streets. Food was good, I ordered chicken wings( had nicer but good) , chilli chicken (could of been hotter), pilau rice, bindi, naan and poppadoms. All around £30. They don't serve alcohol.

We had a fantastic meal here last week. The food was sensational. It was so tasty, the meat was so tender and everything was so flavourful. The service was great. We felt really looked after and valued as customers. I really would give it a try. My friend recommended it and I’m so glad we went. The photo is of the food when we were halfway through it! There was so much we took some home!

Went here for iftar all the food was very nice, I find at most places starters are good then mains are a bit of a let down. But all 3 of the gosht/chicken/dhaal curries were on point and DELICIOUS! Would definitely go again. Service was good as well, waiter was friendly and helpful. Ambience was nice, decorated well (we were upstairs). BIG bonus they have mens and womens prayer rooms. Well done guys please keep it consistent!

Mine and my husbands favourite restaurant. We always come here on our date nights as we know the food is always going to be 10/10 and is amazing quality food - you know its cooked fresh and not just taken out of the freezer and warmed up!

The main manager Shiraz, always gives us the best service and the atmosphere is really nice too.

I definitely recommend the Achari Gosht - in my opinion the best dish on the menu!

We were visiting England from the Netherlands and stopped over in Derby for a night. Reading the good reviews, we decided to have dinner here and the reviews didn't lie. The service was very good, and Shiraz very kindly helped us when we had a little issue with parking. The food was delicious, very flavourful and for after we had dessert and complimentary tea.

Overall, it was a really nice meal and I would recommend anyone to come and enjoy a meal here. Thanks to Shiraz and all the staff!
