Ayeshas Authentic Indian Restaurant & Takeaway in North East Derbyshire

We love this restaurant, always great service, varied menu of delicious dishes, they always look after us 🥂

Fantastic food and lovely friendly staff. This is my 8th or 9th vist and I've not had a bad meal yet. I'm working my way through the menu and look forward to my next visit in December.

On arriving, we sat down in front of the bar. We were there for a while until we were asked to confirm who we were and a drinks order was taken. After this our food order was taken. We then waited a while for a table, though we were given updates regarding how long we would have to wait, which was good, though the escort to our table tended to feel somewhat rushed. On seating ourselves, again we waited a while to be served, though granted it was a busy Friday night. Then cutlery and plates were placed on our table somewhat roughly, an audible noise as plates hit the table for instance. A little later our order was served. Again this was put on the table somewhat brusquely, mushrooms almost falling off the plate of mushroom pilau. However, on tasting the food, it was found to be flavoursome and well cooked, though my Bhuna was a little cool. Toward the end, we ordered two more bottles of the excellent "Black Sheep" which were brought quickly. On the whole, we enjoyed ourselves and felt we'd had a worthwhile evening at a reasonable price and decided that we may visit again.

Foods improved. Shame on you that there now appears to be little attempt to want to maintain good relations with customers who've been dining in and taking away for a very long time. Manners and customer service have dropped dramatically when any member of staff or owner are front of house. Familiarity breeds contempt and all that......

Been going for years and always really good. Large menu and lovely staff. Definitely worth a visit!!

Easy to book a table. The food was again excellent, good variety on the menu but this let let down by mediocre service (one waitress in particular Ruby, didn't smile, no empathy or follow up for drinks etc, and she spent most of her time chatting to male diners to detriment of others).

Fantastic food served by a very friendly team of staff. Lots of choice. Highly recommend. 5*+++

The best biryani I've ever had. Chicken tikka biryani with a jalfrezi sauce.

Great food, great drinks, great staff, great owner!

I frequent many Indian restaurants. This is a very good traditional one. The dishes are colorful and tasty and the staff are great,

We have been going for almost two years now alternating with other Indian takeaways, but for the past four months now solely at Ayeshas. Fantastic food, the best by far, friendly staff. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed. Andy

The best Indian restaurant, the food is very flavourful. Even the Korma has such flavour. Highly recommend, would never go to another Indian. The food does not compare. 5 star.

11/10 🤣THE BEST Indian for miles 💯 Reasonable prices, DELICIOUS food, generous portions, friendly staff. No complaints to honest. Thank YOU 👍

Had a meal at this restaurant food was top notch, friendly and helpful staff, reasonably priced great atmosphere highly recommended try it you won't be disappointed

Best Indian restaurant in Dronfield by miles

Karahi sauce was tasty, the pieces of chicken were tender and the peppers and onion lovely. The naans were perfect - soft in the middle and ever so slightly crisp on the outside, sublime. We'll be back, again!

Friendly staff great food and clean.

I have been a fan for ten years and always been amazing takeaway. But over the last 12 months it’s got progressively worse each month. We are vegetarian so flavours and sources are everything. It would seem they don’t put any effort into their veg dishes. They are now really boring and extremely dry with virtually no source. I have been making excuses for them because they used to be so good. But now I have to concede and agree with my family the food is poor. I personally can make far better food so for that reason I’m out

Have eaten here for many many years. Always good food and excellent, friendly service.

Excellent service and food is great

Very good went out with the family and they loved it

Always great food. Staff attentive and helpful.

Very tasty fish buna, one of the best I've enjoyed in a while

The food excellent and the staff so nice and friendly

Always a tasty meal. Excellent food and friendly staff

Brilliant food, very friendly staff

Managed to squeeze is in. Service was good, food was great and it was busy. Good sized menu and we weren't rushed, it was our first time going here but we'll be back for sure.

Absolutely amazing food and service. There was a table next to us, full of whingeing people got no reason what so ever. All the waiting staff kept their composure and dealt with their petty complaining (only to get money off their bill I suspect) with politeness and dignity when really they shouldn't have had to.

Outstanding food and service. Whether we visit as a family, a bunch of friends or a full work team we always leave happy. The menu is superb, the people friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great. Highly recommended!

Best peshwari naan have maybe ever had! Paneer shashlick also prepared perfectly too, with really tender tast cheese - see pictures. Will be back

It's the first time at Ayeshas for myself and my hubby. Will definitely be going back. Fantastic food and fantastic service. Thank you 😊

Nice friendly service good food and they even popped in a few extras in my order 😎👌

I would give 10 stars without hesitation. Such a wonderful place! The food was so delicious that it almost made me emotional. I couldn't wish for a better place for our date night. And staff were highly professional and friendly. They made sure that we have all we need in the most non intrusive way, it is an art to serve like that. We will definitely come back.

Nice food..great staff, service could be a little quicker I.e moving dirty plates & filling empty glasses

Very nice food, staff could be friendlier. Went on a mid week evening so expected a little more effort on a quieter evening.

Food is always really good, prefer the darker interior for Indian restaurants but that's just me being picky on the decor!

First time of using ayeshas,it was beautiful food,good price,definitely using again,and will try dine in at some point, 🙂

The service was professional, friendly, and efficient. We ordered chicken korma, methi, and bhuna and they were incredible. We’ll order from here again!

Brilliant place. The service is first class, friendly staff. The food is exceptional quality and never disappoints, every time its a joy to visit.

The best vegetable rice we have ever eaten chicken dupiaza was lovely the curry sauce was the best yet £74.00 for four of us and that is with the drinks cobra beer mmmmmmmm marvellous

Consistently great quality food. I wish you delivered!

Lovely place nice welcoming staff me and whole family been eating here for a decade Can't fault it always nice.

The food is very nice and the staff are prompt but not pushy. I'll be back.

My favourite Indian, wonderful food lovely staff, very attentive

Amazing, hospitality is as good as the food.

One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten at 5 star food always

Great food & friendly,helpfull staff

Outstanding food and service, from one of the longest standing Indian restaurants in the area. We'll be eating there again as soon as possible!

Ordered garlic mushrooms for staters the looked like they come out of a tin very disgusting. The main meal was no better just looked like slop in a plate they even served it in a bowl a not a metal sizzling dish what a waist of money never again

Delicious food, great atmosphere as always.

Great food and good price! It would be a great benefit if they did takeaway delivery, but it is worth collecting or eating in!!

Beautiful, nicest one in a long time.

We had a curry from Ayesha's a while ago and it wasn't that good, so we avoided it for a while. We decided to give it another go and this time it was great; the food was plentiful and the best thing for me was the metal containers full of the usual sauces (yoghurt and mint, mango chutney) which lasted from the popadums, through the starters and into the mains, why do you never usually get enough sauces?! .... it's a little pricey for some dishes, but we will be back again soon, not least to make sure that the previous less than satisfactory experience was a one off!

If you like coconut based curry with a hit of chilli try ceylon I had this tonight and it was soooo nice! Coconut rice was perfect too, the fella had balti which was so flavoursome too and the naan bread was so light and full of flavour, we tried the cheese and sag one (cheese and spinach) and it was so light with onion, peppers and garlic on too it was the freshest yet lightest naan bread we have had. Compliments to the chef/chefs. We look forward to returning thank u :)

The food is amazing every time. Staff are so helpful and friendly. What more can I say. Best Indian restaurant I've ever been to.

What's not to love? Friendly and helpful and always amazing food. One of our favourite places to have a takeaway and looking forward to being able to go back after lockdown ends.

Very good food with great staff, its good value and always a very good standard.

Fantastic service,fantastic food We had a great night

Excellent food / service at a reasonable price

Good quality and reasonably priced

Good food but very standard. Clean and the Staff were friendly and helpful

Lovely food and nice place to eat in but the worst place to try and call. Either they don’t answer or when they do they leave you on hold and forget about you so you have to hang up and try again!

Loved this place. Best food ever. Always amazing. Never disappoints.great staff too.highly recommend.

Food excellent. Waiter misrable no smile like he did not want to be there or did not want customers. Spoiled it. Do you think English stand this!

Authentic Indian restaurant with a great menu nd reasonable prices. I had the Ayesha special, lamb and mushroom rice which was very good and just the right side of spicy. Attentative service, good drinks and a clean, well staffed and maintained restaurant.

Great service, polite and lovely food. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely Indian food with great flavour at a reasonable price

Lovely food. It was recommended by friends, and it didn't disappoint.

Lovely Indian restaurant top quality food and service my favourites mixed kebab starter lamb bhuna mushroom and lemon rice 😁👍

Horrible service .waited 2 hours for main meal

Great place with friendly staff. Food is amazing

Very enjoyable. Will be going again. 👌

Lovely meal,great service and good value for money.

Great service and fabulous food

Lovely food & v good service. Def visit again.

We have visited several Indian restaurants and we have a favourite one always go to but brother in law took us hear and food and service was outstanding we will definitely be back

Beautiful food as always . Staff are awesome .

Nice restaurant clean and friendly. I had a lamb balti and good to see the lamb was succulent, overall a pleasant experience.

A fantastic curry if you don't mind the decor

Brilliant food and sevice can't fault it

Have been here several times over the past couple of years, and was very disappointed to find out that many of the dishes I have previously been eating are not vegan, despite being told previously that they were! They were only able to offer tarka dahl with plain rice and chapatti, that is the extent of their vegan range. Unsatisfactory and disappointing. Will be finding new local Indian restaurant unless more vegan options become available!

Very disappointed to find there are basically no vegan options. Most worrying was that we’ve been quite a few times before and never had an issue. The vegans in our group had to cancel most of their order and could choose only a handful of dishes. Wouldn’t go again until they sort out their menu. The problem is the base ‘gravy’ has milk in it, so they can’t/won’t make most curries without it. Real shame.

Six of us visited for a family meal, food on the whole was good, naans were nice and fresh. Rice was nice. Pickle tray was ok. The mains were alright but we all said they were lacking in heat. I had the standard chicken tikka masala and it was ok but not as tasty as I'd have liked. On the whole the meal was enjoyed but not in the best.

Excellent food and wine. Friendly staff who can't do enough to make you feel welcome.

Food was fantastic, atmosphere was good, prices were right but felt a little rushed by the staff.. The chef saved them a star!! Scored them 5* in relation to the food being fantastic or it would've been a 4*

Still the best Indian in Dronfield

Went in a party of four and every one of us was delighted with our meal. Great choice, well prepared and served with a smile. The bill was a pleasant surprise too..this is a restaurant that doesn't rip you off. Will certainly make this a regular haunt.

Good food. Not badly priced. Took baby, didnt feel he was particularly welcome or not but then again it is a 'nice' place to eat out lots of couples/groups busy for a Tuesday night.

Great food & staff.Licensed too.

Great food, very fresh with tender meat. Good recommendations and attentive service.

Authentic, hmmm, maybe. Vf£ definately. Good service and tasty food. Not a fan of the layout and not somewhere I'd go for a romantic evening for two. More of a family and party place.

Never fails to impress, excellent food and service.

Truly the best place for an Indian takeaway within 100(or more) miles. Have been here many times and the food has always been absolutely delicious, and you definitely get a good portion for the price! Service has always been quick and the employees are very friendly. Have only eaten in once but all of the above comments still apply.

Excellent Curry Restaurant, superb food and very good service. Pleasant surroundings.

Top food. One of the best indian restaurants in sheffield.

such a lovely place and the food is lovely

Always good food at the right price.

Fabulous in every way . Never have we visited without it being thus so .

I eat here with friends and family quite often as it is very local you were I live. The food here is of great quality. I always try something different each time and have never been disappointed, I would say they have a very extensive menu so something for Everyone . Great drinks selection and really helpfull staff. Would recommend a visit. A really cosy restaurant.
