Anoki Restaurant - Burton in South Derbyshire

Friendly service and great food.

We were seated in the marquee as the restaurant was booked for a private function, it was lovely, warm and well lit. Food was great and service excellent

A fantastic Indian meal. So it isn't cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for - delicate naan, plenty of pickles, non-greasy pillau, and wonderfully tasty curry.

Absolutely amazing mouth watering food highly recommended 👌

Not sure on all the good reviews unless we went on a bad night?! It was my birthday yesterday so we had booked Anoki well in advance. We had a takeaway once before from here so we were very excited to be going to eat in the restaurant. However the food was very disappointing. The 50% Wednesday discount does not even justify the prices. The only thing we enjoyed was the garlic chilly chicken starter but even charging that at £11 was greedy for the portion size. The main courses were absolutely swimming in greasy oil and the meat content of the butter chicken was measly for £26+ a main course. We asked for the bill to quickly leave and that took ages to come. Will not be returning and left us feeling robbed with the bill being £73 when it wasn’t worth it. (and that was with the discount!) :(

Good ambience, there was a party going on ,so parking was a bit tight, but lots of space available. terribly long wait for the food to arrive ,with kids hungry was difficult to manage for close to 45 .Taste about ok catering to the local population ,not the authentic I felt . Too Expensive n not worth for the Taste and time.

We had to have a quick meal as had a train to catch back to London. The manager and chef were amazing, cooking us up a treat meal in minutes that was fresh and delicious. Among the best curries we have had, and we have had a great deal. Next time we are in Derby we are going back to linger longer and sample more of the menu.

Ordered a food online, i was waiting for 2hrs ( it had be delivered in 90mins) and decided to ring them. Phone was picked up by a rude person and found out that they havent even started to cook food because they don't have driver! So why would they even accept it, or they should give me a ring. Been told the driver gonna be there in 30mins and i said when it won't arrive in those 30mins will cancell it. Just heard rude you can cancel it now. Tried to speak with Manager but hes the same like there worker. I was returning customer at least once a month but never again. PS. Firstly he said that driver is on the way, a minute later that driver already left and ended that he didn't even picked it up! 2 months since it happened Havent recived my money back! Tried charge back and they believe thay payment is correct. Be careful when ordering online.

Good food and consistent. Faz is a legend so welcoming, food is always top notch.

Excellent food and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

A really nice place to visit, we will be definitely back.

Loved spending a lovely Sunday here

Lobe this place never disappoints!

Fantastic food friendly staff beautiful surroundings. We had a Very relaxed evening . Thank you

the lamb curry didn,t taste right.. if I go to the restaurant or have a takeway, I always have a lamb balti..but today it didn,t taste like a lamb balti..

10/10 can't fault the meal at all, if anything it tastes too good!

The service here was atrocious and when it was raised with the staff they responded with 'the food is worth waiting for'. Well, the customer will be the judge of that. We were seated at 7pm and others who arrived after us were served well before we were even approached. It took an hour for the starter to arrive, another hour for the main course, and the (unrequested) ice cream dessert - which we assumed was provided by way of apology - was a pathetic attempt to mollify us. Previously we were regular visitors to this establishment but it is clearly in decline. Aside from the poor service, the food quality isn't what it was, either - especially given the premium prices. Thee are plenty of better places to dine. My advice is to find one.

Sublime food and service, never wavering in the years we’ve been going

ANOKI never fails. The best curry in Derby by far. Lovely staff and amazing setting

Really enjoyed the set menu. Amazing service and beautiful food. More than you can eat. The tables are comfortably spaced. Would definitely book again. Thank you

Lovely restaurant - It's more £££ than ££, just as a heads up 😊

The food was lovely, and the service was very good. However, for me, it misses the mark for 5 stars due to the pricing being excessive. £80 for two, after ordering very conservatively, excluding service charge, was a bit much considering the total experience.

service a little slow but food excellent as usual

Anoki true to its name is a unique experience. We had delicious lamb dishes - Lamb Saag and Lamb Desi. The Prawns Masala contains good size king prawns, and the Chicken jalfrazi is delicious with polau rice. To add to this, we were served some of the softest plain and butter naans with a 'toasted to perfection' crusty layer. To top it all you are served with a variety of sweet chocolate and mint delights. Loved the traditional Kurta Shalwar / Shirwani and pagri attire for the staff. All that was missing for me was a live tabla and sitaar music corner. A must visit... Oh and do take your appetite....

Exceptional food and service. X

I have never had such horrendous food or customer service in my life.. lamb madras was pure ginger chicken balti tasteless and called to discuss and told you should pay full price and order over the phone 🤬

Food was lovley. Really nice, all cooked fresh. Good service from the freindly staff.

Me and my family went to this restaurant we ordered starters and a main lamb curry which we asked to be spicy. We was totally shocked at the portion size of the lamb curry which we asked for to be spicy. This was exactly 4 tablespoons of curry which we paid over £25 for and this was a very mild curry and very dry hard to swallow. Very disappointed with the quality of the food we paid a total of £60 for a starter a main and 2 cokes aswell as a service charge. We then spoke to one of the waiters addressing the portion size and taste of the curry who spoke to the manager he totally fobbed us off. Will not be visiting here again and will not be recommending to anyone the place is a robbery. You do not get your moneys worth. Waste of time! I would not recommend to anyone, I would say its better to visit Tipu Sultans!

Great food, great service couldn't fault it

Really disappointed with my order, the curry i ordered was that salty that i couldn’t eat it and the chips were very soggy. A real shame as this was once the best Indian takeaway around! The quality has definitely dropped recently and considering the price it should be 5*.

Absolutely beautiful meal and brilliant service Anoki Burton on Trent. The 5 course barbecue was amazing, and the staff were really attentive and efficient. Will certainly be returning regularly

Superb meal experience. Tasty food, attentive service great choice of menu. Highly recommend Anoki.

The most amazing food I have ever tried. The service is exceptional and I will be back everytime I want to ear out. Even though its an hour away from me. PERFECT!!!

Better a two hour wait and fairly cold food than nothing at all. Thanks anoki.

Fantastic meal..best curry I've had.every dish was so tasty..Thankyou. *****

Fantastic experience. Excellent food. Really friendly staff with impeccable customer service. Lovely finishing touches and well presented, really tasty food. We’ll be back, no question.

Food was amazing, delivery was later than time given when ordering food, but I was updated to let me know new delivery time, food arrived at the new time given, food worth waiting for though

Everything was absolutely brilliant, service was fantastic up until it got a bit busier, only knocked a star off as we asked for our bill twice and had to wait 45 mins for it to be brought over. Food itself was delicious and can't fault the service, we did experience a problem with the wrong order but the team were apologetic and quickly resolved it which was great.

Food quality is very nice, but it is superb expensive if we compare with other similar restaurants nearby.

A table of four went for a NYE set menu meal. The service was a little slow, which was understandable considering how busy it was. They brought out 2 broken up poppadoms for four of us, whilst the table of 2 next to us had a massive stack. I did ask for more, which they brought over .... eventually. The pickles had plastic in it, which one of us nearly choked on (see photo). Cutlery was dirty and the food arrived barely warm. Considering the experience, I felt like I was being robbed when I was paying the £200 bill

Very good service and lovely food, not rushed. Checked regularly to see if we wanted more drinks. Added nice touches, like sorbet and Indian ice cream now. Which was lovely and more fine dining. Did forget to bring the mints at the end. The best cheese naan breads!

My wife and me have been visiting and fully enjoying Anoki restaurants for many years – consistently excellent in all respects, with timely subtle changes to keep it fresh and alive…

Planned family visit with kids (10 & 7) after trekking at nearby Calke Abbey. Impeccable and friendly service. Menu was varied and wide range to suit different taste buds. Timely service and quality and presentation of food excellent. Tasty and scrumptious dishes all around and nothing leftover. Highly recommended visit. 10/10

The food here is consistently great. We were given poppadoms and pickles shortly after sitting down, and staff were always around when we wanted them. There is plenty of parking but I would recommend booking in advance as this is a very popular dinner destination- due to the quality of the food.

Wonderful environment. The sitting arrangements are classic. Professional and friendly staff. Food quality is awesome. Bit expensive though.

What a fantastic place having a Gold card now. I love the place service and food 5* 👍

Absolutely fantastic experience. The service was great and the food was delicious. I really enjoyed the desi lamb. The portions were very generous and we left very full! The atmosphere was also wonderful. This is definitely one of the best places I have gone to this year and one of the best overall service and atmosphere experiences I've ever had.

The delivery window was 19:00-19:20. At 19:20, the tracking notice changed to "Enjoy your food", however the food was not here. I rang the restaurant and was told it would be leaving in a minute. The food then arrived at approximately 19:35. The 15 minutes lateness is understandable on a busy night, but there are two factors that result in my Delivery Time rating being reduced: 1. The delivery window was not updated and just changed to "Enjoy your food" at the end of the original delivery window. No further communication was given until I chased the order. 2. The entry on Just Eat erroneously states that the food was delivered at 19:05. In fact it was 30 minutes later than this (19:35).

Absolute joke! Over an hour late. I pre-ordered food for 16:20 , its an hour late and food is still not here. Called restaurant, they claim delivery starts from 5pm, but Just eat clearly stated they start delivering from 1pm. Delivery estimate is also not being updated. Its past 5pm and Delivery estimate shows 16:45. Considering I spend £30 for one meal, the service is poor.

Terrible service by waiting staff. Everything was a problem.

Had a great meal and excellent service

First of all, I'll be honest, the food here is lovely but..... I agree with lots of other people: very expensive curries (£26!), confusingly priced menu with so many different 'offers' you need a calculator to work out the best deal and you just feel like you're probably being ripped off. Compulsory poppadoms at £2 per head. Optional service charge but they add it to your bill so you have to ask to remove it. Minimum £20 spend per person. It all makes you feel undermined as a customer and we won't be returning.

Food was ok, definitely not the “fine dining” they advertise on the menu, poppadoms come to the table without request, took them 45 minutes to take our order in an empty restaurant. Got our starters and then the main appeared, after 10 minutes I had to go and ask someone where my sons food was, they had completely forgot to cook his food, when it came out there was too much. This restaurant is not child friendly, the service was incredibly slow and I had to wait 30 minutes for the bill from request of the bill. I will not be going again, do not recommend if you have children. Only if you have time to waste.

Food took 2 hours to be delivered despite the restaurant being local and delivery time quoted as 45mins to 1hr. Most of it was cold. Restaurant doesn't answer the phone. Food was mediocre, definately wouldn't order from Anoki again.

Food and service were excellent but they costed us for unselected items and starters which was very disappointing the customer service, in future they must change it.

The prices compared to the portions of the starters and mains are extortionate, and the food was mediocre

The food and the service was outstanding. Staff are both super efficient and super friendly. I just mentioned in passing that it was my wife's birthday, nothing more, and somebody must have picked up on it and to our surprise they came to the table with a candle, an indoor firework and two complimentary desserts. A really lovely touch. Little things like this make certain places that little bit special.

This is the first time we went to the Willington/A38 branch of Anokhi as always been to the one on London Road and always had excellent experience each time. 1. When we arrived popadoms and chutneys were placed on the table without asking if we wanted any. Thinking this was complimentary we had some. But later to our astonishment we were charged £4 for them (while not a lot) we were never asked if wanted these and if had been asked, we would have declined. 2. The waiter was obviously not having a good day but was not engaging at all, even when we tried to make small talk, he replied bluntly with one word answers. Anokhi staff have always been friendly and attentive but on this occasion we found our waiter quite rude. 3. When the bill arrived we were surprised not only to see the charge for poppadoms but also an ‘optional 10% service charge’ added to the bill for two diners. I understand for group bookings but I feel this should be at my discretion and to be put in position to ask for it to removed should not be placed on the customer. It should at be at my discretion. So an impromptu meal out for two, (poppadoms, two mains and two naans) that should have cost £68 ended up being £79 which in this current climate was very expensive, considering service provided. We will not be going back again.

Very nice food. Excellent service

Wasn’t very happy about the salad, wasn’t fresh, all slimey and brown

Beautiful food in lovely surroundings served by excellent staff. I can't recommend this place enough.

never fails and always go the extra bit with the chilli for the poppadoms!! nowhere is better 👌 100% thanks guys

Sadly not a good experience. Greeting poor ,booked table told to wait and guest behind us shown to table. Set menu not honoured, nearly 3 hours for mediocre food , 3 times we were offered food or drinks that weren’t for our table. Not offered the free top ups or able to get a glass of water. Naan breads looked and tasted shop brought. Very over priced £231 for 4 people with basic meals and no side options. The menu is also very basic. Will not be going back. Advice read the reviews and look carefully at the menu as there are hidden charges that good restaurants don’t charge.

Beautiful and very polite and respectful environment. The food is absolutely first classic!!

One of the better curries I have had and I have tried a lot!, typical Pilau though really, I prefer the non-coloured you get at great Indians, such a shame it arrived luke warm, they got the flavour just right, they really need to put attention in how to transport the food hot to the customer, because the food deserves it!

Delicious takeaway foods, including butter chicken, lamb saag, and tarka dahl.

Where do I start... ordered today ask for chilli sauce, only went and sent a whole tub!!! Best takeaway in the country I have had numerous curries from these and it has never ever been average! They are amazing!!! Honestly if you want an amazing curry then there is your go to! I've been around many places but 10 times out of 10 they get it right! Much love guys!

2h 20m total delivery time. Food tasty but barely warm. Given this is not cheap food, thoroughly disappointed

Very welcoming and friendly staff lovely tasting food as always

The place is usually very good but I had a delivery king prawns was like rubber and no tast the delivery food is not as good as eating inside

We dine here regularly and are always impressed with the quality of food and service.

Fantastic service and food! We can’t wait to return, thank you.

Jalal was very helpful, fantastic service & good would highly recommend 👍

A really nice Indian restaurant , the food was great, the staff very well turned out in there draditional dress and made us feel very welcome. 👍 A bit expensive though.

February special offer BBQ menu was superb great food and great service at a fantastic price

Nothing more to say than fabulous!! Great new BBQ menu, excellent value, and fantastic food! Staff simply amazing. First visit, but not the last!

Very expensive 160 pound for 2 starters and 2 curry’s definitely will not be going back

Meal was lovely however a portion of poppadoms was missing. Driver did refund us but would have been nice to of had the full order. Slightly disappointed for what was a good meal otherwise

Popperdoms were missing (£5 by the way) and all the food was cold

Quite a nice place. Good vibe and amazing food.

Absolutely brilliant place, friendly staff, delicious food & great atmosphere.

Food was excellent! It’s not the cheapest and they have a discount card you pay for, 50% off for two people 33% off for 3-4 people. I think the card is around £90 Due the prices, it’s somewhere to go on special occasions, the service and decor is of a high standard. Overall very good experience but cost it’s probably 25% more than the local curry house.

If you are looking for excellent food, atmosphere, decor and wonderful staff, look no further than Anoki. I went to Anoki Burton with a friend to celebrate my birthday and the staff made it a magical night. ✨They even brought a surprise desert (all lit up✨) when they heard it was my birthday! We had an absolutely wonderful time. The food is always of high quality but the staff brought the magic! Thank you Anoki! Going there again for next birthday as it was great 😊

Anoki is one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been too, the quality of the takeaway is just as good as sitting in the restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant is wonderful and the staff are incredible. I love it here.

Amir has been great, the service was amazing and the food was on point

Unfortunately our order was really late then we received the wrong order and had to wait for delivery driver to collect and deliver correct order, by which time our food was cold. Usually can’t fault but last couple of times we have had problems

Lovely and fresh. Definitely ordering again

Superb best takeaway Indian around

Came with my company for our Xmas Do. Had a great time and the food and service were wonderful. Would highly recommend.

The food was excellent and the service was fabulous. All the staff were friendly and attentive.

Absolutely horrendous service. Arrived as a pre-booked table at 7pm. It took an hour to have our order taken and a further 45 minutes for the starters to arrive. Spoke with the manager at 8:45pm to ask where the food was as I hadn’t eaten yet. He said that mains would be served as soon as the starters were cleared (as I didn’t have a starter, I just had to wait). Food eventually arrived at 9:15pm, 2 hours and 15 minutes after we had arrived. Was offered no apology and staff didn’t seem the slightest bit bothered. Will not be back.

Had Xmas lunch here Xmas day was fantastic

Food was amazing and service from Nav was excellent. Great place, Really Nice Decor and atmosphere.Was Recommended by my Friends from Birmingham. Will be visiting again soon. Thanks

Had the fixed festive menu. The food was really good and there was lots of it. A good selection of tasty Currys with a variety of strengths.

Great evening with colleagues and kids. Friendly environment, welcoming and accommodating for a relaxed evening meal.

5th time of ordering and each time average delivery 1 hour to 1.5 hour late. Do not order from here unless you don’t mind waiting so long

Lovely Asian restaurant serving Halal food. Plenty of options and good service.

Food was lovely, bit dissapointed with the customer service, as we felt unwelcomed.I understand that we werent dress up for the place, either way value and treat your customer the same.

By far best Curry in or near Derby, the express range from the fridge is incredible value too
