Ayesha's in North East Derbyshire

Me and the other half come in last night lovely food lovely staff very friendly couldn’t do enough for you. I had a hat curry which I don’t really like but they cooled it down for me it was great.

This restaurant remains excellent over many years. Welcome , service, food are all of a high standard with friendly and helpful staff. Food well prepared and good quality and presentation. Good value for money.

Been going here for donkeys year's and always had brilliant service. We always book and order loads of food and tip generously. This time we walked out and will never come again. Used to be a lovely place to go. Shame on you Ayeshas.

I love this place since moving to dronfield Great food, great service, reasonably priced what can I say? Family friendly as well, Go you’ll enjoy the experience!!

Haven’t been here for quite a while but we now know what we’ve been missing. Food was lovely and staff were very friendly. Ladies even got a rose with it being 14/2/24.

Visited with a group of friends around 19.00 hrs. Good friendly service and the food was good but portions were small. The toilets are accessed by climbing a steep and narrow staircase, we had a elderly gentleman with us who walks aided by a walking stick and was unable to navigate the staircase. Asking the staff if they had a more accessible toilet he was directed two doors up the road to an outside toilet behind the Pizza shop "Not acceptable in this day and age" on his return he said it was difficult to find and very dark. Not be visiting again.

I have had several takeaway meals from here and they have always been excellent However tonight’s meal didn’t live up to expectations I ordered my meal and it was delivered post haste with undercooked tasteless keema nan My main dish was okay but yet again the sundries were not as good as I have experienced before On a final not my meal because it exceeded the £15 was supposed to come with poppadoms and onion salad and yet no sign I think in fairness my meal was rushed and I do so hope that this was a one off

I like the food and the service but didn’t like being asked the same 3 questions by 2 different members of male staff. Please try to work out if your customer want to tell you where they are from, where they live now and what they do for employment. Someone’s people don’t want this and just want to have a nice meal out then go home without being asked these questions. You can usually tell if a customer wants to chat so use this and concentrate on the customers that want to chat and not the ones that don’t want to tell you about themselves. It’s quite off putting personally and probably won’t go back. Female customers especially might not want to tell you all about themselves so take this into account. This puts off customers I think.

Went last night had a hair in poppadoms Sharp large bone in lamb pasanda Staff was rude Manager knocked 15% off bill 7.50 Left the lamb dish on the bill Which was 10.90 anyway put me off rest of my meal so rice n chips also wasted Cheese nan Wasn't interested about complaint Definitely won't be going again

Booked a table for 7.30. Arrived 7.30 and was told to ‘sit’ at a holding table behind us. What a lovely unwelcome welcome. Nearly walked right back out. Anyway we stayed and after 10 mins we eventually got acknowledged. The owner / bloke in charge was treating the young lady servers with scorn & contempt, I hope it was their first shift and last shift working for the awful manager. We eventually got seated, received our starters which were delicious but waited over an hour for our mains, which again were delicious but was hungry after waiting so long. The manager was continually being horrible to the young servers. I’d have slapped him if I were them. I asked for a jug of water but no glasses! Had to ask for glasses and they bought wine glasses and insisted I had to use them and walked away. He was shouted back and said I don’t want to use a wine glass for water ( tee totaller here so I found that insulting ) . Did eventually get normal glasses. On walking out we were completely ignored - not a thanks, bye, hope you enjoyed your evening, absolutely nothing was said. In fact we had to gently move the manager out of the doorway who was ignoring us whilst eagerly trying to accommodate seating for 10 drunken swearing men. The food was beautiful but the service was abysmal. Shame on you treating those girls like that last Saturday night

New Years Eve meal, seems everyone had a similar idea. But the service is always good here, no exception when we were there either despite the place being full. Starter and main were tasty, quick and as ordered. All together for two people with drinks and a tip was £50 which is very reasonable. Left very satisfied and full. 10/10.

Prawn puree was lovely however the other starters were not up to the usual standard being slightly under cooked. The service was excellent as always but again the main courses were not up to the usual standards. IE I had ayesha special which is supposed to be chicken lamb and large prawns. We had two dishes in total on the table but both dishes only had one prawn and only one dish had one piece of lamb and the rest was chicken. Gutted. Its not the usual. I will be going again and hopefully they will be back to their usual quality.

Not been here for years, will certainly be going back soon. Food was the best we've had in a long time, well presented and tasty, loved it

We eat here or get a takeaway every week because it's always so good. Really tasty. Sauces don't all taste the same like some places. Not massive portions, but good quality meat. Staff are friendly and it's nicely decorated. They have a loyalty card if you become a regular.

We're from Chesterfield and decided to have a change of scenery and randomly chose this restaurant. So glad we did! Lovely place, nice staff, amazing food! Everything was fresh, hot and perfect. We couldn't fault it. Totally enjoyed it and will definitely be returning. Would highly recommend. 😍

Good for Vegans… very happy to make dishes from scratch with no dairy. Really enjoyed my Vegetable Bunha made with no butter. The Roti wax freshly made and amazing . The staff were very happy to accommodate a vegan request. The place is cosy, warm and very clean and we would definitely visit again.

Can't believe how wonderful the food was, such a shame its no where near our home! The staff were welcoming and very helpful. If you can go here for a meal, you're in for a treat.

Ordered here for a lockdown birthday. Did not disappoint! The food was amazing. Chicken multani was delicious. All the order was correct and the staff were lovely and helpful when ordering and collecting. Would highly recommend here.

Had to first go back for missing starters then arriving home to a missing curry ... called and was told to go back to pick it up when it’s 20 min drive away ! The curry’s we had was inedible. swimming in grease and only half full Very disappointed we won’t be going again !!!

We have always enjoyed it but we were very disappointed this time no safety precautions in place no one asked for a contact number in fact you wouldn’t know we are in a pandemic only thing was one hand sanitizer and not everyone spotted it sorry we expected more from you ayesha won’t be back

Been ordering delivery’s on the lock down very good service a bit slow but overall decent not my first choice but definitely good

Came here on a Saturday evening with my family. There's a good selection on the menu and everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was good and the bill was dealt with promptly at the end. Thanks for a pleasant evening.

We have visited many times and the food has always been superb. However on this occasion the food wasn’t upto it’s usual high standard. The lamb in the rogan josh was fatty and tasted like a Greg’s stake bake and the rice appeared as it had been stood on a hot plate and had a crust on top! Chicken in the Korma was quite tough. We felt rushed and pressured by the waiting staff who were quite unfriendly and very unhelpful. We were also shocked by the food hygiene rating of 2 !!! We will probably give it another chance but only when the hygiene rating has improved

As always food absolutely amazing & spot on with very attentive staff, always a warm welcome as well.

Having worked here for over two years and enjoyed the cuisine a thousand times over, I can honestly say three years after I left my job to go on to pastures new, nothing has changed.The food as good as ever, the staff still brilliant. Chefs, the same guys kicking out the same beautiful food. I've tried many since, but nothing matches up yet.Absolute perfection chicken chatt again. Thanks again Ayeshas...home from home. Best of luck to you all in the future.

Four of us attended on a Monday night and were greeted by friendly staff who made us very welcome in the pleasant surroundings.We ordered the pints of Cobra and regulation popadoms and did not have to wait long.We ordered different meals including Biriani's Tandoori chicken and the like. After the popadoms the meals were waiting for us and the quantity and quality were excellent.They also gave us a Christmas drink and the whole evening was very refreshing.I can not understand some of the negative comments. Will definately be going back soon

Had very high hopes going in but it did not deliver the quality was meh but the waiters where rude and did not offer drinks

We came for my Husband's son's 11th Birthday a party of 6 - 4 adults and 2 juniors and couldn't have been more looked after. Our friends had been to Ayesha's several times but this was our first visit and we loved it. The food was delicious, all cooked fresh and piping hot. The birthday boy ( and it was his first time in an Indian Restaurant) tried everything much to our delight. We had the usual starters poppadom's and bhaji's but also the king prawn butterfly and mixed tandoori all gorgeous. For mains we had a fish sizzler, tandoori mixed grill and birthday boy had a chicken tikka masala, which I tried and it was the nicest flavoured tikka masala I've tasted. We didn't have room for desserts, obviously, but we brought a cake and a massive firework candle which the restaurant kindly brought out to us and we all sang Happy Birthday. We will be back again very soon, thanks in particular to Elvis who was a top waiter and a joy. Fantastic night out.

Would not recommend this place food was ok but staff are very ignorant and rude do not deserve peoples custom

Early evening visit. Good service and food was good too. A huge choice of dishes. Our second visit, and will go again.

We had take away at work. The currys we got were very good and starters were great. Plenty of mint yoghurt and mango. Free popadoms with our order. Everyone was happy so its a thumbs up.

This evening I tried to get a takeaway and failed! I called the restaurant at 5:10 and asked if they were open to take take away orders. The guy asked me to wait and went off for a few minutes. He then came back and asked ‘what you want?’ I placed my order and was advised it would be ready at 5:50 for collection. As I was already near the restaurant on my way home and had a restless toddler in the car I ended up going into the restaurant at 5:35. The guy setting up the restaurant ignored me for five minutes whilst he set up a table. When he did come and ask what I wanted he then looked at his watch and said ‘I told you it would be ready at 5:50’ to which I replied ‘yes that’s okay I will wait’. At 5:55 I had no food and the two staff members just kept walking past ignoring me. So I asked a different man if he could find out how long my take away would be, he looked at his watch and replied whilst walking away and with his back to me ‘at least another ten minutes’ so I said ‘I was told 5:50’, he replied ‘well what time did you call’ I told him 5:10. He then replied ‘well we don’t open until 5:30 so it’s not ready yet’. I said ‘well then you shouldn’t have told me 5:50 collection on the phone so I can’t hang around any longer’ he then replied ‘okay I will cancel it, and walked off’ I have never been so shocked in my life. This service was shocking the restaurant does not deserve any customers.

Ayeshas has a really pleasant vibe with a nice ambiance. The food was delicious and the service very good. Lots of choice for vegetarians too. Highly recommended!

Last visited Ayesha's some 20 or so years ago and was certainly impressed when I returned last Thursday. Although not on the menu I ordered a Chicken Naga which was exceptionally well cooked and was delicious. Overall the service was good and I will certainly not leave it 20 years before my next visit.

Went for a quiet, cosy, midweek meal with my wife. Haven't been in for a while. We arrived around 7 and they were a few couples already in. I chose aloo chop for starter followed by Chicken dhansak for a change. The meal was really nice the waiting staff had improved since my last visit over 2 years ago and was really pleased I chose this venue.

Always excellent standard and quality.. friendly staff take time to help you decide what dish suits your tastes.. highly recommend

Visited this restaurant on Saturday 15th December 2018. There were 20 of us booked in for 8.30. At 9.10 we were still waiting to be seated. In the end we left and will never go there again the staf were very arrogant and unprofessional.

Authentic indian cusine. Loads of choice and some really lovely 'Chef's recommendations'. We have eaten here with the family on numerous occasions and always enjoyed it. Best to book Friday and Saturday nights to avoid disappointment.

Great food AND service, there’s no rush and the food just appears. Can’t decide what to have, or want a bit more spice? They are happy to make it spicier if required. We enjoyed poppadoms, starters- king prawns are delicious, and a main course .

We Call in 4 of us ... we very busy but if you wait at the bar and order drinks the table in the corner will be free shortly.. ordering drinks 4 people come in .. waiter all over them have you booked .. no ‍♂️. No problem these people are just leaving have their table .... hence we left .. NEVER TO RETURN... MINT LEAF UP THE ROAD THATS THE PLACE ..ayeshas. Your a disgrace

Never have we been disappointed. The food is excellent , the staff professional and friendly . The decor clean and pleasant. Love this place .

Great food, we really enjoyed it. Service could be much better and the building is looking tired. Though we heard they are moving elsewhere so maybe that's why. Overall a good experience, the stairs were a bit of a struggle. We can only hope the next place has good facilities as this let's the place down here. Good value for money. Will visit again.

The food is average and has not adapted its offerings over the years to much better restaurants in the area. Service is hit and miss and sometimes just plain rude on the verge of aggressive. Do not intend on returning

I’ve eaten here at least 15 times and the food, cleanliness and service has never been anything but very, very good. My partner and I dined at Ayeshas on 13th January. We arrived at about 7pm and it was packed but although we hadn’t booked the very attentive staff managed to find us a table.

By far the best Indian in dronfield! Would recommend highly to anyone! Always enjoyable and great atmosphere!

Been visiting this restaurant either to eat in or collect a take-away for many years. This evening New Years Eve quite a few people were opting for take - away as was I, the restaurant itself was not really busy. Out of 5 main course dishes the Chicken Tikka was good but sadly the other four were totally lacking in flavour, extremely bland leaving us all very disappointed. Two of the curries were swimming in oil which had to be skimmed off before serving. Sadly tonight will be our last visit. we will be on the hunt for a new and more consistent curry house for the future.

Been here many times and never had a bad meal. Must be one of the best India restaurants in the area. The only fault is the upstairs dining doesn’t have the same atmosphere as downstairs.

Having revisited 5 months on this place sadly I think they have lost there chef as we ordered same as before as with all my curry reviews and it was sadly bland and no flavours and way too much oil (see photo ) I am sadly going off currys again due to many places get worse and I gave up currys for 15 years due to this happening. I was bought up on currys all my life I THINK CURRY HOUSES SHOULD NAME THE CHEF /S IN THE WINDOW THAT night Of your visit and real curry eaters would take note and then if you had that chefs food before You would know if too go in and eat or not as currys in the uk (Sheffield and surrounding areas ) are getting to a point where u must be pissed to eat it. where have the real chefs gone well gutted I WANT REAL FLAVOURS and tastes not something that I could have bought a packet mix and made better myself

Ruined my sons birthday by not reserving us a big enough table after specifically telling them on two occasions how many of us there were. They said they could accommodate a table for 19. Our family traveled from miles around to join us ,only to be told they could only seat 14. You denied our phone calls took place, you were rude on the phone, offered no apology and lost your booking and all future bookings.

Estado aquí varias veces y siempre fue muy buena. Tuvimos una ocasión donde las porciones eran muy pobres, pero les damos el beneficio de la duda hasta este momento. Mi plato maridos estaba bien, pero mi gambas buna era patética. No me importaría, pero el restaurante estaba completamente vacío, así que, ¿por qué la parte muy mal. Se merecen ser vacío, si eso es lo que sirven mermership. No volver más a terceros para este restaurante. Su acabado con nosotros. Y si donde no te molestes en ir a este restaurante de comida para llevar.

Having seen some great reviews and having just moved into the area we had to try this restaurant. The food was okay although it felt very cold in the restaurant and lacked a bit of ambiance. I am not going to say the experience was...

Pedí un curry, pero les dije que era muy alérgica a los frutos secos, que me aseguró que haría que mi comida no tenía frutos. A pocos segundos de mi primera bocanada de mi garganta comenzó la inflamación. . Terminamos teniendo un choque anafilácticos, resultando...

Tuvimos una muy agradable cena temprano aquí con la familia - ocho en total. Hay una enorme variedad de platos principales disponibles para elegir y el número de platos vegetarianos era agradable ver. Mi pareja y yo tuvimos la Zal Zinger y Cordero Ayesha especiales como platos principales. Toda la comida era excelente y el personal era amable y servicial.

Visited ayesha's frequently over the years since it opened just seems to get better and better excellent food friendly helpful staff good atmosphere on our last visit we were a mixed family friends and kids group,we tried lots of different dishes starters and mains all the plates went back clean says it all the best in the area by far.

Visited on the recommendation of a family member and found it to be a good little place to eat. Quiet and very good service. Food is what you would expect from a standard Asian menu, but they do some 'house specials' too. Prices are reasonable and drinks are priced sensibly too. No parking is provided by the resturant, but there is a council car park directly opposite that is free up to 3 hours - ample time for a meal.

Went out for my partners relatives meal, food was so lovely, and we had a great time only problem was the restaurant was pretty empty and it took quite a while for some reason?

But sadly one member of staff leaves a lot to be desired. He spoils the whole place with his rudeness not just to customers but other staff too several of whom have left because of himHowever, don't be put off by him put your complaint in with either Basith or Abul. Basith being the head chef and owner of the business who cooks the most wonderful food, as usual I was not disappointed with my last meal there this month or the hundreds of other meals prior to this.You simply will not find better food. Always freshly cooked, no dyed meats, quality ingredientsI've been to many restaurants now and this is by far the best Bengali food in Derbyshire and Sheffield!

I was with the group of 4 mentioned previously .... average age between us was 60,,,,,not a bunch of drunk teenagers but treat like so by this awful aggressive man .... why take a booking then be so aggressive .... the staff looked terrified of him ... what a bully-boy .... never ever will visit again and would advice everyone to think twice ... he can ruin your evening with a few words .... u wouldn't go to a pub and ask for a pint to be told you can only have half because we closing soon .....

Really nasty head waiter. Booked a table for 10.30. Ordered starters and main course then the head waiter said we couldn't have any starters because they were closing in an hour! When we questioned this he said that he wasn't bothered if we had any food or not . We had already got the pickle tray and popadoms so we said that we would just pay the bill for what we had already had. The waiter then slammed the bill on the table and said we had ten minutes to finish our popadoms and drinks and leave. He then said that if we weren't out of the restuarante in ten minutes he would call the police to throw us out! We are two middle aged couples going out for a meal not a bunch of teenage drunks. The restuarante was empty and he obviously wanted to close early, but his attitude was disgusting. He said that he wasn't bothered if we gave a bad review of the restuarante so here it is. This person needs sacking . He is not the right person to front a restuarante. We will never go back again!,,,

The worst attitude from a waiter I've ever encountered in my life. Will never go again. This place does not deserve any customers with people like that working there.

Lived in Dronfield for 13 years and this was our regular provider of Takeaway with it's quality keeping us coming time and time again. Moved to chesterfield 3 years ago and I'm sorry to say I've simply not come across any place near Ayesha's in town. I've been disappointed with all of them.As a change of pace me and my dad decided to have a sit in meal rather than a takeaway and we thought we'd return to our favourite. Suffice to say we weren't at all disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect. The staff are very friendly and the service was prompt.We both had the Harilal which I highly recommend to any who like a more mild curry. Had it alongside all the typical sundries, Bhajji, Poppadom, Naan and the dips. Extremely happy the quality hasn't diminished in the time we have been away. The price is fair and we WILL be going again.You won't find better around in my opinion

Won't be going back here for a while. They started by sitting us on the smallest table ever and then wondered why they couldn't fit our food on it!I ordered a glass of red wine and when it came it was as though it had been in the fridge it was so cold! It was undrinkable. Also the waiter kept addressing 'sir' and never once looked at me and even when we both left he said good evening sir! My curry wasn't particularly great. I'm not a fan of onions so ordered a tikka masala but it came with loads of bits of onions!

Food was bland, tikka chicken lacked any flavour, chicken also quite tough and unusual texture. Won't be back.

We went here midweek sadly no parking due to where this is but across the rd near bank u can park on arrival perfect hosts and seating us straight away.Inside very clean and fresh looking also friendly staff asked what drinks we require followed by do u require papadums and pickle tray I jumped straight in and ordered it glad I did was a good traditional pickle tray so worth ordering. Starters I ordered onion barges to share they brought a side plate on bring the starter out. onion barges was crispy and good the mains ordered off menu keema dopiaza (order it extra spicy came a little too hot so harder to get the best review on taste but definitely going back and not upgrading the curry spicier ) also keema rice was to die for garlic Nan standard size and was good tasting also chips standard and also ordered the chicken tikka 9 out of 10 very good well worth ordering a true curry place definitely worth going back (not asking for the curry to be spicier next time as would have been perfect if I did not ask for it to be spicier /hot) all in all a great curry restaurants to try and go back too. If you like my reviews here's a couple of tips if you ever get a bland curry from anywhere mix a little salt into it and it brings out a little more flavour also drink a glass of milk after/later that night hope you like my reviews and this curry house is definitely worth trying check out my other reviews as I am trying all curry restaurants in dronfield and only 1 bad so far check them out

We had a wonderful meal here. Good size portions,amazing flavours and the best garlic naan I've had in a long time. The staff are attentive and polite. The prices are good also. A little background music would have been nice but that's nit picking. I would definitely recommend and will be going back very soon.

Friend birthday, service was great, nothing to much trouble, food was great, had a fabulous night! Will return!

If you want a good Indian in Dronfield, this is the place to go, meals have consistently been excellent, whether eating in or take away.We have tried lots of the dishes over the years, with different family members & all have been great, regardless of it being mild or hot.

Last time we were here, the restaurant was looking a little tired and ready for a bit of TLC. This time we were pleased to find it had been painted and refreshed and looked much smarter than last time. The waiters were efficient and attentive, and the food was really good. It would have been the perfect evening had it not been for the 2 men on a nearby table who made it impossible for us to have a conversation together. One of them had the most hideous, loudest laugh I have ever heard and continuously, completely drowned out anyone else around. The worse thing was that their waiter seemed to be encouraging him and it absolutely ruined our visit. We realise that the restaurant can't chose who goes in there but we won't be going back in a hurry.

Called for a takeaway on a Saturday night, excellent food, great value and friendly staff. Would recommend it.

Been eating at Ayesha's for the last 10 years if not longer, food and service is always perfect. The only Indian I will go to, wether I'm eating in or call down to get a takeaway. Cannot recommend enough!

Spent a very pleasant Friday evening here recently. Food was very good and the portions generous. The staff were very friendly and efficient without being obtrusive. Good value for money.

Visited for the first time with friends recently and had a really nice meal. The food choice is good, food brought in a timely manner and tasted great! We were a party of 6 so I got to try several dishes, some of which I wouldn't normally order myself and there wasn't one dish that I didn't like. Good atmosphere, decent price, friendly staff. What more could you ask for?

Decided to take the parents out for a meal with the better half do decided on ayeshas as not been for a few years as we're good friends with the owner at the timeIt was strange not to see any familiar faces but def not changed with the standard off the foodI decided on a starter of mixed kebab and these were amazing I then chose chicken dopiatza not sure how to spell but this was also amazingThe parents food was also good and they chose lamb and mushroom and chicken tikka bhunaThe better half had chicken karhari and was amazingGood value for money roughly £15 per headWell worth a visit and recommend booking as it does get busy

Very friendly service by staff. Nice atmosphere a bit dark for reading the menus (the only negative mind), the food was beautiful and if I ever find myself in the area again I will definitely be back !!

I ate at Ayesha's last Wednesday for the first time in about 5 years (due to having moved away from the area but recently retrurned) and it did not disappoint. The quality of the food and the service was as good as ever and reasonable priced. It's the best curry house in Dronfield for eating-in and takeaway.

I have no idea why it's been about 3 years since i last went to Ayesha's. I guess because there are a lot of other Indian restaurants near me to try. A shame as I'd forgotten just how good this place is. Friendly, prompt, polite service. Excellent food and reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful food, great service. Not a single bad word to say about the place will definitely return. :)

We had an extremely tasty meal in this restaurant. the food was superb. However the service was not as good as the food which was a shame, although it was fairly busy for a mid week early evening, so I guess they are a popular place to eat for the locals.

Have tried other Indian restaurants in Dronfield but Ayasha's consistently beats em all. I had a King prawn Kharai and my partner had mixed Tandoori. Both meals were excellent and the service was great with very polite and attentive staff. We'll definitely be going again.

Lovely surroundings and attentive staff. We have been to ayesha a few times always to celebrate birthdays. The food is superb. I think this is the nicest Indian I have found.

We are from Hampshire went for meal there and it is the worst chicken pasanda ever. When it arrived it was bright red obviously they use food colouring I did actually ask if they had brought me the right dish. Manager apologised and asked if I wanted anything else as we had had a long wait for food I said I would just eat the rice , despite not being touched we where still charged for it. After having a lovely day out it spoilt the evening

We often visit Ayesha's and if we are not able to sit down to a meal, the next best thing is a takeaway meal which is excellent value for money. The friendliness of the staff also make any occasion extra special. We have never been disappointed with any meal there and would highly recommend it to anyone.

The food was really excellent but without excellent personal like mahesh, divine, hemuntha the restaurant will not be so friendly and open for tourists. I recommend this place!!!

Went to ayesha's instead of our usual Indian ... Wish we'd not of bothered pickles & starters were "ok" but as for the Mains they were terrible & the service was appalling everything was an effort & the waiter was damn rude can safely say will not be returning & will not be recommending.

This is my favourite Indian in Dronfield, fantastic for eating in or for takeaways. My only issue with the restaurant is that waiters and waitresses don't receive their tips, so if you're tipping for service, don't bother!

Went there with friends on old years night and we all enjoyed s having a starter each followed by 3 main meals with rice and nans between four. Well looked after and even although the restaurant busy we did not have an undue wait for our meals.

Dined here on 05/01/16, food was gorgeous, five of us dined and we all liked what we ate, plenty to choose from the menu. If you like something hot but not over the top try the Kali Mirch (chicken dish) on the Chefs Specials list, you will love it and there is plenty of chicken on the bone. You have to wait a while for your food (not a long time), but it's well worth it, and it also says to me that everything is cooked fresh.This place gets 5 stars from me, so if want a good curry give it try,

First time to try Atesha's, had been told about it, so my husband & I thought we would try it out. We both had a lovely meal. Not overly expensive. Staff were friendly , my only criticism is one of the waiters seemed to be on his mobile quite a lot. Will be back.

We would say that this take away is our favourite place. The curries are always excellent. We tried a fish dish and the king prawn tandoori. Both were delicious. Staff are always pleasant. Recommended.

Whether its to dine in or take away this is an excellent place for Indian food. Perfect way to finish off the working week.

Really good restaurant they made me a meal with less spice because I am a bit of a whimp with spicy food and it was wonderful. My friends had meals from the menu and were very impressed.

I have much sympathy for the last reviewer. The food was just about average - although I was not happy with the jalfrezi that the waiter splashed on my white shirt as he cleared up. I could hear the staff laughing and swearing and making rude remarks about a customer who had said his meal was wrong. I didn't dare complain as we were waiting for coffee and I didn't want something extra floating in mine. Horrible experience. Staff rude and the place is not very clean. Don't go.

Nice restaurant and nice food. All waiters bar one professional and friendly. One waiter early in the evening who couldn't be bothered to pass my food to me threw it across the table. Over looked that but when he was again extremely rude at the end of the evening I had a quiet word with the manager who was almost just as rude. For that reason can't recommend it. Am sure there must be just as good restaurants around with a better management.

This is the restaurant for true Indian food devotees. Absolutely fabulous. Very friendly service by attentive staff. Nice atmosphere,beautiful food,decent prices.

Always come here when in the area for takeaways or to eat in. The Ayeshas special is lovely! Prices are reasonable and it's a lovely place inside.

Food here is lovely, always used to visit for meals/takeaways when I lived in Dronfield. I have to say I have struggled to find anywhere as good. Onion bhajis are particularly good. Decided to drive out to Dronfield to visit. It was well worth the drive. Food is still outstanding. Prices have gone up since I last visited but it is still good value for money. The only reason I have not given 5stars is due to service. Staff are friendly but a few mistakes were made. Incorrect drinks and a jug of water with no glasses to put it in. Apart from that would highly recommend.

Just wanted to say this restaurant has kept the same standards for many years the staff may come and go but the quality doesn't . Have eaten in and had takeaways and the food is always amazing and the staff are always lovely if you haven't been you must try it .

We have been here many times but recently things have gone down hill, the service is terrible even though the place was empty, the food is ok but some of our group didn't like it, for example a prawn curry with 6 small prawns ! The older waiters are unfriendly and don't seem to care very much, all in all I think we will be going up the road to the other curry restaurant.

My husband and I had a take away the other night and it was excellent. My husband had lamb saag paneer and I had garlic chicken both were delicious. We will definitely return another night. Good portions too. Staff were polite also. We recommend this place for the excellent food.

Ate here with a group of friends one night between Christmas and New Year, all the food was very tasty and reasonably good value for money, had starter and main and was full, cost around £20 a head including drinks.One thing I will say is it was quite cold in the restaurant on entry, I was ok as I plonked myself next to a radiator but the rest of the party with the exception of the person sat opposite me were quite cold throughout the meal, but all had a good time irrespective of that.Service was spot on.
