Amad Restaurant in Derby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Held a family function amazing service, great food and beautiful interior design perfect for photos. Highly recommended.

We had the most incredible meal at Amad’s on Monday. We started of with a basket of poppadoms and chutneys, before moving onto our starters. I opted for the dynamite prawns and my goodness was I not left disappointed, I’m sure you can see from the pictures I’ve left, just how Incredible these looked, and they tasted even better. My dad went for the aloo tiki potato cakes where were beautifully garnished. Moving onto our mains, I couldn’t decided what I wanted, so I let our server decided, I had the Newabi chicken which was tomatoey, garlicky and spiced to perfection, my dad went for the tandoori chicken. We had pilau rice, stunning naans to accompany them. We will definitely be returning, I haven’t stopped thinking about those prawns since the visit. The service was top notch, the staff were lovely and the food is incredibly good value.

Been here so many times. Love the food

The food was amazing and good service I like the foods mashallah ❤️👍❤️👍😍😍👍❤️🎁🎁

Checked in to the continental hotel this evening with my partner. After dropping the luggage to the room we headed down stairs to get some a drink and a bite to eat after a long day travelling. We were pleasantly surprised being massive curry lovers to find it was a curry restaurant, the Amad restaurant was amazing, the food was AMAZING, the decor was great, the staff was friendly and the cleanliness was tip top. Perfect start to the holiday!

Lovely experience. Great food, fantastic service from Majid. Thank you Amad, we will come again soon.

Well I think I’ve found my new favourite restaurant! The food was simply the best! I had the lamb chop starter which was so tender with a lamb shank for main, again just fell off the bone with just the right amount of spice! Our waiter Majid was very courteous and had a lovely gentle nature to him. Would definitely and will definitely recommend this restaurant to our family and friends! Sad that I’ve not discovered this place sooner!

Majid thank you for your service :)

Amazing service and amazing people, thank you Majid!!

The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Loved the mango and passionfruit mojito 😋

Amazing food, so many choices and all cooked beautifully. I had the paneer makhani; massive chunks of paneer with a sweet, tangy sauce. Lovely calm atmosphere & well presented decor. The staff are great, Majid was our server and was really helpful and friendly. Fantastic mocktails too: I had a mango mule ♡

Food was exceptional and was cooked to perfection. Customer service was amazing, especially Majid. Will definitely be returning

Majid was very welcoming and the service and was excellent. Enjoyed the food

Food is delectable, filled the whole sense of taste! Accommodating staff and peaceful ambiance. Excellent view from the window as well! Perfect breakfast vibes!

Ordered the chicken achari which was lovely, very tasty.

Very nice and clean place , staff is really nice , amazing food

Lovely tasty curry, soft light naan bread, worth a visit

Beautiful food, great welcome and service from the staff, would definitely recommend

Been here several times great food and service.

Majid was brilliant, great service and great food

Majid was an excellent server and the food was fantastic. They really went over and above to make our dinner experience so wonderful. 5 stars!

Amad serves beautiful food and Majid was an attentive, polite server. Thanks so much!

I can’t comment without having a meal. The service attitude is good. The address is on the roadside and in a large parking lot.

Was invited by a friend for dinner party. Mr khan, the head waiter, probably the rudest and one of the most ill mannered waiter ever served starters and mains in the same plate, barked at the guests and literally spoilt the whole experience. Never setting foot inside again. Skip if you can.

Great tasting food in a relaxed and ambient restaurant. A good East and West combo. Highly recommend for personal or party visits.

Terrible experience, terrible service, they don't clean their tables, it took them 47 minutes to serve me tap water, was told they are running out of glasses and jugs, I had wait while other patrons finished off I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE

Beautiful restaurant with food to match. Staff were friendly and prompt. Will Return again

After a stressful evening with another hotel, my sister and I were very grateful to have found this place. Thank you so much for sorting everything out for us, food, room and being ever so polite and caring towards us. Thank you and if we ever come back to Derby again we will definitely be staying with you. Thank you very, very much :)

Muqadas provided excellent service, the food was amazing and a gorgeous decor

Had Salt n Pepper Lamb as a starter and Fish n Chips for main. Blown Away! The food was simply spectacular

Very good atmosphere. Lovely eating place!!!

Right next door to the continental hotel! Brilliant!

Omg the food was amazing and my wife loved her birthday meal. The waiter majid was spot on and looked after us but the chef did a amazing job with our food. I asked for a medium rare steak and got it spot on. Definately reccomend

Majid was a great waiter the food amazing will come back

Wonderful breakfast, Staff was very professional and smart. Special thanks to muqaddas.

Had a really nice birthday meal with my friends As always the food and atmosphere was great with excellent service. Thank you for making my day

The food was very yummy and service by Majid was amazing. 😁

Very attentive service. Great food

First time , as they say first experience lasts 😀all positive vibes will return to try main menu and share our good experience with others👌

Nice asian and english breakfast. Great ambience. Good restaurant decor and seating. Friendly staff. One of our favourite Sunday brunch places.

Travelled from Nottingham for my nephew's birthday 🎂

Amazing food, and service was spot on, will definitely come again

Very nice service from Maljid and Jessica.

Amazing- Majid smashed it. Would recommend. Beautiful food.

Very yummy food..good service..Majid did a great job..awesome

Amad is so good restaurant. very delicious food ..Good service .Majid is very good n helpful

Worst don't even order from this restaurant

Subsequently, the food was delicious and our server was attentive, friendly and fulfilled all of our requests and requirements! However, we sat in a window seat, in which we could see the Street and unfortunately we witnessed an incident which was not very pleasant, especially as there was children in the restaurant- consequently, this is not the restaurants fault however, the area wasn’t very pleasant for a family!

First time come and had desi breakfast. Absolutely spot on. Food, service and place 5 star. Will definitely come again.

Leaving do for a colleague. The taster menu was lovely, especially the fish. Had a great evening. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Lovely food and good service. Very enjoyable evening. Wish I would of taken photos of the hugh amount of food we had. Recommend the set meal.

Not our first time here we have dined in & ordered takeaway & as usual the food is great! We had a good mix this time of different things with my daughter having pizza whilst we had curry & the mixed grill, it was all lovely and good portion sizes. There was a little confusion over the 50% off offer as we believed we had to be in & order before 6.30pm but you have to have completed your meal by 6.30pm. It wasn’t a problem as we were happy to pay the full price but is worth knowing if you are going for the offer. We will definitely be going or ordering again.

Attended a pre vegetarian party. Food was much better. Service was flowing.

Best ambiance best food & expensive as well

The food was going but a little spicy but the service was a bit slow even it was not busy

Had the most shameful aftari we ever had in our life time. We heard a lot about the Resturant and thought we take our special guest for aftari in this resturant as it was a new fine dinning in Derby. But let me tell you don’t fall for the nice lay out it’s deceiving. There was only 3 tables and three member of staff and the service we got was worst ever. Three member of staff can’t even handle three tables. We were given starters with no salad and sauces then we raised the issue with the staff after 15 mins he came back. The starters were cold and as well as food. We didn’t even had our starter yet and the staff bought food out we told them we still having starters. To which I asked him Are you sure you fine dining? To which staff sarcastically smiled and said in £17 you get this what else you want and then the left plates and food on table for us to sort it out and no one cleared the table or any thing. If we had to sort out the food ourself then why we need to come to fine dining. It was so embarrassing in front of guest we wish would have taken them to Anokhi Viceroy or Shalimar instead. We also asked him we not got our welcome drinks either as stated on your social media and he replied it’s finished in rude way. If you are the owner and reading this trust me you need good staff or if you don’t believe me then send some of your family undercover and you know yourself.

I am writing to provide feedback on my recent dining experience at Amad Restaurant in Derby. My friend and I travelled from Nottingham to partake in the Iftar Dinner, eagerly anticipating a delightful culinary experience. However, upon arrival, we encountered a series of disappointments that I feel compelled to share. Upon our arrival, we found no one at the reception to receive us, leading to a brief but noticeable wait. Eventually, we sought assistance from the hotel reception, where a gentleman kindly escorted us to the restaurant and arranged for service. Despite this, there was a prolonged delay before any attention was given to our table. When the first dish arrived, comprising of only two dates and three small onion pakoras, it was underwhelming. Subsequent servings of two kebabs, two tikka boti, and two fish pakoras were equally lacking in quantity and presentation. Notably, we had to request water, which was not offered proactively. The main course, when it finally arrived after a considerable wait, fell short in both portion size and temperature. While the plates were adequately heated, the quality of the food and accompanying naans left much to be desired. Unfortunately, the level of customer service provided was subpar and sluggish. Despite the presence of empty tables and a modest crowd of only 18 diners, there appeared to be a shortage of staff. Mr. Sagar, the sole waiter, valiantly attempted to manage both the dining area and reception, but his efforts were hindered by inadequate support and supervision. It is disheartening to report that the supervisor, Mr. Maqsood Khan, seemed oblivious to basic customer service standards, a deficiency that greatly impacted our dining experience. Notably, a particular incident where a customer was left to fetch water for themselves, while holding the jug, tarnished the restaurant's image further. While the ambiance and decor of Amad Restaurant were commendable, they were overshadowed by the poor quality of food and lackluster customer service. Regrettably, I must express my dissatisfaction with this experience and cannot, in good conscience, recommend Amad Restaurant to others.

Excellent food, one of the best Indians in Derby. Chicken tikka superb and Rana Gosht & Chicken Madras hot was spot on. Reasonably priced, will definitely return.

This is our favourite Indian restaurant in Derby. The food is excellent, the staff are fabulous and it is good value for money.

We have been coming to Amad shortly after it opened and it has always been an excellent experience. The food is absolutely brilliant and the service is second to none. We have been to most Indian/Pakistani restaurants in Derby and this is one of the best. Without doubt now this is our favourite restaurant by miles.

Lovely venue great atmosphere and super friendly service also food was amazing really looked after us great staff

This is what they serve on deliveries. I ordered one nan and two curries. How could i eat this burnt and hard like a stone naan. I just waste my time and money. Really disappointed. Highly not recommend.

Excellent food and service. Our waiter was very busy with a large party, but he was attentive. Thank you 😊

I've been here for breakfast a few times and have always found it to be a pleasant experience. The desi breakfast is delicious and the channa and halwa are amazing. We have tried the english breakfast and that's nice as well. The Staff are pleasant and efficient. The place is very clean, very nice and the toilets are spotless too.

GREAT FOOD!! Modern decor!! Very friendly service!! Nice atmosphere!! Good Price!!

Really great service and food was held at a really high standard. I will definitely be going back to try new dishes they have! 👌🏼

The food is fantastic and is reasonably , the service was great, highly recommend here

Went for breakfast with my husband, parking wasn’t bad as we was the only ones but the steep walk up to the front was not good but I don’t think that can be helped. Was welcomed by a lovely young Lady extremely polite.she took our order and the food arrived fast looked amazing, presentation was 10/10 the full English was deffinatly a hit, the Indian breakfast parata was really nice and fresh but unfortunately my channa curry tasted like it was off or been cooked more then one day ago hence the 4 star. Halva was nice I asked for the ichaar twice as I didn’t enjoy the curry. Didn’t mention it to the restaurant as the waitress was so polite I didn’t want to say anything. Overall for £24 it would have been an amazing breakfast of the channa curry was fresh. I will definitely go again as it’s local the service was good and the atmosphere is very welcoming so this place could be derbys best soon I hope.

Service was terrible, there was no more sausages left for the full English breakfast and we was not informed, instead they took the decision on themselves to replace it with extra turkey rashers. I orderd fish and chips for my 3 year old, in the description it says chuck chips but we received fries instead, my son was disappointed. Overall the service was terrible including the lady who was taking the order, she was not very attentive or seemed like she didn't care. In the end I had to purchase something else for my son to eat. And we didn't appreciate the breakfast without sausages or the service received. Would not return again.

We decided to try this place as they offered 50% off main dishes. Service was a bit slow, but they were friendly. Food served hot and full of flavour.

My friend and I went for a Saturday evening meal, it was my birthday. I love the ambience of the place, it was busy which is always a good sign. We had the works, from poppadoms, starters mains and dessert as well as desi tea and drinks. Everything was well presented and more importantly the flavours were on point. Amad, the owner, was very attentive to our table and the others around us, very well presented man, did all he could to make us feel comfortable. No issues with the pricing as well, it's what you would pay for good food and good portion sizes. I've also been in the morning for a desi brunch which was just as nice. Keep up the good work, Amad and Co.

Great food and atmosphere. Cannot fault the service. Everything was spot on and first class.

Fantastic food I just made the mistake of eating before I went but took food home to finish. Staff are always ready help with anything great bunch of people. Will definitely be eating here again

Got the chicken manchurian (pictured) & my friends got the chicken steak. The manchurian was very sweet and not nice, left half of it. The steak was the driest, blandest piece of chicken, very small for £14. Service was good and very nice interior

I recently had the pleasure of attending a lunchtime work event at Amad Restaurant in Derby, the surroundings were perfect for a professional gathering and the staff made everyone feel at ease. The food was a particular highlight, they offered a large variety of set menu dishes catering to all tastes. If you are looking for a place to host a work event or simply enjoy a great meal, I would recommend Amad Restaurant. There is also ample free parking available onsite another added bonus!

Amazing food & service - any everyone from our 30+ people party said the same. Will be back!

The food was exceptional, best Indian cuisine in Derby without a doubt. Service was great I can't fault this place. To reiterate the food is absolutely unreal

Insane Indian food, by far the best in Derby. The service was incredible the food was incredible all round amazing experience.

The food was nice. lovley decor staff were friendly and would go again

Has become one of my regular restaurants for lunch/dinner, comfortable, warm atmosphere, good service with a tasteful menu

The food and atmosphere were both really good.

Food was good but the service was a little slow and missing dishes

Mediocre restaurant, very overpriced especially as the food was lacking in flavour, very muted and mild. The portion sizes are decent. The best part however, was that the staff are decent enough and accommodating.

First time dining here, recommend by a mate and it didn’t disappoint food was spot on, and at a good price, I’ll definitely be going back

A horrible experience, shockingly bad!! Was cold where we were sat and so was some of the food. Milkshakes were so bad and tasteless with the waiter trying to make out that they're fine! Chips were cold and bland when asking for salt the waiter made it out as if he was doing me a favour by giving a few salt satchetts! This is one of the worst places in derby I've been to. :(

Good atmosphere, service was ok, Ordered a mocktail and lime water was told no one to prepare it so we could not have any drinks from the bar. End up having a sweet Lassi which was not sweet at all, Ordered the nachos and meat platter which was brought on the table and the waitress jus disappeared, food was jus warm fries were stale as if it was cooked before and was microwave and given, wanted to complain but no one around, staff arrived 15 minutes later which was useless as they would denied it, why not told before ( no one around to inform) very bad experience plzzzzz avoid.

Everything tasted lovely and good price also

Beautifully decorated and with delicious Indian food. Their Desi Breakfast is first rate and I look forward to trying their dinner menu 😋

We held a fundraiser at these recently renovated hotel. Previous it was the International Hotel. What a change! Nothing short of spectacular in my opinion. Obviously going to be used as a venue for Indian weddings but open to the general public. Great food.

Breakfast was delicious we had a desi breakfast and a full English. The paratha was cooked perfectly, flaky and soft. The atmosphere is quiet, clean and contemporary. Staff were friendly.

Food and service is amazing, much better than any indian restuarant in derby, must try

Beautiful food! Everything was cooked to perfection! Great service from staff too! They were very customer friendly. I really enjoy eating here and continue to come back!

We ordered 2 Full English breakfast. We waited over 1 hour for the food. There was table of 10 who 20 mins who came after us. Absolutely very slow service. Definitely will never return to this place

Really good food 😋 And service is fantastic 👏

Thank you to all the staff at amad tonight, lovely atmosphere and the food was really good. The mixed grill was just right, and the main curry dish just perfect not to spicy. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. The customer service was fantastic, really looked after tonight. Thank you all once again, keep up the good work regards Hafiz Nisar Ahmed Raza and family

Great food and excellent service . Everything is made fresh with high qaulity. You will not be disappointed!
