Chennai Dosa in Derby

It's been 2yrs we are visiting this restaurant in Derby. Me & my family made it our favourite restaurant to Dine. Good service and for sure Good service 👍

Really good food. Very filling and affordable.

Excellent again . Chicken tikka fabulous. Special curry spicy hot lovely.

Delicious kothu roti, fresh ingredients, friendly staff

Cash Only, Pathetic. And the girl at front is very rude.

Amazing and quick service, tasty food and great value for money!

Ordered online rasmalai was like white water paneer butter masala same gravy was very thin and yes butter naan with no butter and not cooked well...... Not sure about other items but these three was very bad.

Good food and a lovely atmosphere, if you're from the south trust me - You'll feel like home, I loved it 😁

Nice location professional staff testy food

The food was awesome and delicious . Atmosphere is good

I came here for the breakfast deal, it was really delicious and filling, would definitely come back here for their food .

I'm a regular here, visiting at least once a month. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is always great!

Amazing Food and Good Customer Service. Friendly staff :)

Paneer dosa ots not a good taste paneer its look like a rubber . I try 4 times but same taste i dont like to eat and recommended .

Food is ok but service is bad and only cash no card

Delicious food at a reasonable price

Friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommend for authentic good South Indian.

Nice food. So, many choices. Good, and friendly service. 👍

We order full chicken , masala dosa , mutton curry it was amazing and the staff is very kind and helpful and we often come here.

Dropped in as we nearby and we love Dosas. Food was really good and service was good.

Very simple authentic South Indian delicious food 😋😋😋😋😋 i visited so many times here

First visit, very enjoyable and lovely food. Service was very friendly and helpful.

Never had this kind of food before. The Dosa was great - a sort of crispy light savory pancake? Really enjoyed - and gluten free too

Great food and value for money Nice staff 😃

Such a beautiful authentic place to go for proper Dosas and tried their new menu - the palak paneer was just so delicious.

Thali and chettinad chicken curry is not good. Muttan biriyani was good. Not sure why they are not accepting cards.

Highly recommended place to eat great quality Indian food. Love the atmosphere, very spacious and beautiful. Delicious food and great customer service for very reasonable price. Do Not miss if In Derby.

First time visiting, brilliant place with a great authentic street food vibe. All food cooked fresh while you wait, nice and hot and really tasty. Great value for money, I will definitely be visiting again, highly recommended.

No parking space, only takes cash

One of the worst experience with chennai dosa after ordering the food online. After waiting for more than an hour the order status showing as cancelled and when we try to call and ask about it they disconnect the call without any proper explanation or refund. I dont really want to give a single start rating to their bad service.

Delicious and authentic South Indian food, very reasonable prices, great for vegetarians.

The best Mutton Kotthu Parotta in the UK. I love it so much and eat it every week. Order through online and you get 15% off. Large portions as well.

Wonderful place.Great service and food is so so tasty and good and plentyfull. Cost in so great also. Yum yum in Kev's tum tum thank you

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere!

Amazingly delicious spot - would recommend for vegan and vegetarians. So many fresh options, tasty, spicy and always served with a smile. The kitchen staff always say hello and we love coming in and ordering take away. Same great quality for both! A must try if you enjoy Indian cuisine

Well priced and extremely delicious food!

Delicious food, freshly cooked. Portions very generous and very good value for money. We will return

Absolutely fave place with delicious food and amazing staff, however both my partner and i have ended up with severe upset stomachs after eating there for lunch :( Completely put us off after finding out they have also been recently given a 0/5 food hygiene rating. Wont be going back anytime soon.

Amazing food derby chennai dosa Chilli chicken , i ate chicken biriyani feel like chennai Best customer friendly service Worthy price ,quality and quantity

Absolutely amazing Best food place in derby food was quick and excellent service. Food presentation lovely❤ Taste 100/100

I enjoyed my food today at Chennai dosa Derby.

Good customer service Tasty food with affordable price. Amazing Indian restaurant in derby Must visit

Amazing food, very lovely and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Very amazing restaurant, nice food and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful place to eat. Great prices, great food! Amazing people! Thank you for a lovely time and memory!

Tasty as always! Excellent service!

Quality and quantity of the food with reasonable price. I like Chennai dosa.

Food is very good and homely, definitely recommend to visit

Freshly made hot food served with friendly and smiley face (Saduni). Reasonable rates, portions, taste are really worth the price. Will be back.

My first visit and I was highly impressed. Clean with plenty of seating. A very comprehensive menu. The food arrived quickly, very hot and had the most amazing flavours. Great service with great prices. I'm certainly visit here more often. Highly recommend, 10/10.

Food and service were ok, we were disappointed because we ordered lamb curry - it was loaded with onions and peppers and only a couple of lamb pieces in between. Masala cheese chips were too spicy. They charged us £1 for 2 takeaway containers and did not tell us.

I take one spoon and when eat the kadai paneer.. Oh bhaisaab that's what i was looking for.. Love cheenai dosa.. Delievery driver did great job by confirming it twice.

Authentic Tamil restaurant and the dishes scream the same :) Quite a big menu and the dosa's are very large for the price, they are great too! But my favourite is the Medhu Vadai. They were always crisp and fresh, the chutneys were always delicious 😋 ❤️. Chicken Biriyani was not bad, I expected better. Egg kothu parotta was a disappointment as it was very dry and the parotta didn't feel fresh & fluffy. The main highlight is the price. Each item is competitively priced and sometimes you can wonder how one can provide decent food at an unbeatable price for south Indian cuisine 👍🏻. Suggestion: 1)Improve the parotta dishes to popularise them in Derby. 2)Also room for improvement for exhausts as the smoke became too much and the restaurant main door was opened to compensate it which made us uncomfortable with cold air on our faces! 3)The floor is quite slippery, so please do something about it too!

This was our first visit to Chennai Dosa & probably we were the first customer of the year as well. The food was Awesome. Chef Ashok & his team did a perfect job. Restaurant coordinator Varshini was also very helpful & courteous. Long story short - A definite recommendation and for us, we are glad we started off the new year from a Positive place. Good job Chennai Dosa team

One of the best places in Derby for South Indian and Indo-Chinese food. I would suggest their breakfast deal if you like Indian breakfast.

We ordered sambar vadai, masala fries, onion rava dosa, plain dosa and kal dosa for our dinner. The portion size of dosa was good. The quality of the dosa and sambar can be better.. the sambar was burnt and the coconut chutney was served in liquid form. The other chutneys were good. Onion rava dosa was not cooked properly, taste felt a bit raw

Not worth giving 1 star.. Very very bad experience.. Mojito glass more than half filled with only ice ..food quantity is less compared to prices ...

Interms of cost,taste and quantity it's good Recommended all to try once. I liked the mutton roll,prawns 65 and chicken fried rice my favourite.

Great food, great taste and even my European friends loved it and its the go to restaurant for us in Derby. Nice.Dosa.food.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Despite being seated for over 1.5 hours, my order still hadn’t arrived. To make matters worse, I noticed that they were prioritizing takeout orders over dine-in customers, which is extremely frustrating. This lack of attention to dine-in guests shows poor management and a disregard for customer satisfaction. If this continues, they’re sure to lose loyal customers. Date - 13/12/2024 Time - 7.00 p.m to 8.30 p.m ( still we didn't get our order).

Ordered takeaway and waited in the restaurant for more than an hour and don’t seem to care

I visited the grand opening and the food was absolutely delicious.. So I decided to pay a visit when the restaurant's open for serving customers.. I tried to call them but the call wouldn't go through! Upon arrival I found out they only do cash and that was a disappointment as I didn't carry my physical card! However we managed to get it sorted! The management team was really helpful in that! I had both dine in and take out! I loved the customer service.. The food was not that great maybe even the quantity for the price.. My ordered item came in a dish and about a third to half portion of the plate was empty and I was sooo disappointed with that.. Additionally, it was too salty so I asked them to replace it. The replaced item arrived tasting better.. (maybe it was the item I ordered) Service was overall good.. The only issue is I'm not able to call them or even order takeaway or delivery! And they have advertised on just eat and other delivery services.. That's a lil disappointing! And the food quality has been improving since my first visit... Tastes better!

Ridiculous experience. Especially with payments. They only take cash. I've had several inconvenient incidents due to this. Their sambar has started getting more spicy than it was when we started eating at chennai dosa.

Really good and freshly made with friendly staff

I didn't like cash only, but the mushroom Manchurians were excellent

Best place for South Indian food. Delicious idly and Dosa.

I am very much impressed with the quality and taste of the food. For a moment, I felt like I am in India and having Idly in A2B or Rameswaram Cafe.

Price is higher in the bill than menu. Meanwhile food and service was good.

They make the best dosas ever! It’s my favourite restaurant in Derby and has been since it opened. Genuinely love the service and the quality of the food. Great place for family evenings!

Great South Indian food. Biryani and Dosa are my favourites

One of the best south Indian restaurant, food is delicious 😋 staff is very friendly

Such a lovely place and the dosa here are exceptional, staff are so friendly and we were planning our next visit before we'd even finished.

Quality food & Service that is very friendly !!!

Very yummy delicious south Asian food. Worth it.

Staff is really good in managing the orders and kind and cooperative…. Really happy with the hospitality…..

Must visit place for south indian authentic taste

Completely rubbish service I have eaten here but only the once food was OK but as the husband was a chef it certainly wasn't brilliant they got the order wrong as well. However speaking as a delivery driver the service is rubbish and the staff are incompetent. Always kept waiting and what can be simpler when the order is ready then send for the driver I'm fed up with having my time wasted by restaurants and this is why I'm posting this review as all places should want to give excellent customer service to customers and delivery driver's alike

First time at an Indian restaurant. The food was really good, vibrant colours and scents, tasted amazing! Great service, good atmosphere!

Best Chennai dosa Ive been to! Best compared to Birmingham and Coventry branch.

The dosa was satisfactory, however, the sambar was quite disappointing. I believe the sambar was not fresh, and the chicken 65 was also subpar. Additionally, the tawa fish was not cooked adequately. Overall, I am not satisfied with the meal.

Firstly I entered the restaurant standing in the entrance for 10mins no one to receive me to the table. Then somehow I have ordered mutton biryani even though they're heating and selling the food it is not even warm it is completely cold when i touch the piece or rice believe me you might be thinking I am ordered online NO its EAT Nasty biriyani i have ever had in my life On top of this I thought to complain about the food there is no one reachable I have to go to the counter and then i have to wait for five minutes to complain about my food that is one more craziest part. It is literally didn't worth even 1 pound for that biriyani since there is only one server i don’t want to upset her because she is doing her best. Completely management failure. I am basically a South Indian chef as well I have never experienced this in my entire life. I came here craving for Biriyani after tired from workThis is my first and last visit

Usless . I felt management is quite different weirdos . They are asking to pay only cash they are not allowing to pay online. There is no withdrawal machines near by so they are suggesting to get money by transferring from opposite off license shop and there the guy is charging 2 pounds for transfer. I guess they are doing business in this way . Food is not too good but its okay . Prices are high too .

Start accepting card payments, rather that harassing your customers to earn black money. You don't have any ATMs around your shop where customers can get cash easily. Dissapointing......was very excited to eat here.

Visited on Tuesday lunchtime, and it wasn't busy. Service was quick and friendly and the food menu was vast. We ordered Masala Dosa, Chicken Pepper Fry and Mushroom Manchurian, along with a Mango Lassi, all costing £23. Remember to take cash, as cards aren't accepted. The food arrived within 15 minutes and was delicious 10 out of 10. The Chicken Pepper Fry is very spicy for those who like it that way. We took what we couldn't finish home, in a plastic container at an additional cost of 50p. Highly recommend it and will be visiting again soon.

Had Dosa breakfast. It was great. Highly recommended.

Best dosa I’ve had in the East Midlands

Really nice place if you're looking for Indian food. The portion size is really good, one dosa is more than enough for one person!

Tasty Indian authentic food. Especially if you are craving for Indian food. Must try.

Great food lots of choice Server was very helpful

Really good food, friendly service and a clean well decorated restaurant. Definitely would come back.

Food was good and the staff was polite too.

Your food is too bad for home, too bad to order back

Go for breakfast for the best value!

Very poor customer service and experience: Derby Chennai Dosa. It's such a shame that the management pick and choose when to make the Thali options available. We visited today after calling the restaurant FIRST to check the vegetarian Thali was available. I was told a distinct "Yes it is ma'am after 6pm" I had already put my phone speaker on so my family members could hear the conversation. I repeated the question again "Are you sure?" I was again answered with a "Yes the Thali is available". So we made our way to the restaurant and once seated, we ordered the Thali. Well that just blew everyone's mind, I could have been speaking backwards with the look I was given. The waitress said they didn't offer the Thali to which I responded with sharing the conversation I had about 40 minutes ago with her colleague. She then said she would check with the woman I spoke to, that took a while. She then found the said waitress and they both disappeared into the reception area. The original waitress then came back and told us that the Thali option isn't available. She then also said the Thali was available before 6pm, we were then also told the Thali items were limited. Derby branch - get your act together please. It's unprofessional to make up excuses, unprofessional to change your mind on menu options at the last second and in this case, I feel pushed into leaving this poor review. This is the 3rd time now that we have visited and each time we have tried to order the Thali, we have been told we can't. I just hope the other branches around the UK are doing a better job of customer service. We won't be back to the Derby branch. After having had the same experience not once, not twice but three times. I blame myself today, we should have known better than to try and order the Thali.

Travelled from far to eat here as it’s the closest. CASH ONLY, which from what I searched online, doesn’t state… make sure you bring cash. Food is great, great service too

This is such an amazing place to enjoy authentic South Indian food, especially from Tamil Nadu. Their chicken dum biriyani is one of my favourites. The service provided by the staff is a big plus. Overall, this is my favourite place to go to whenever I miss home and Chennai!!

If you like Dosa, you must eat here. They are fantastic with an extensive selection. Meat or vegetable they are all delicious. It is cash only but also very good value with most of the Dosa around £7. The breads are also fantastic. We had the Chana Bhatura and it was huge and delicious.

It was our third time ordering from Chennai Dosa and never repeating the same mistake again. We ordered Puri masala, Tawa fish, Fried rice and butter chicken. The puri was fresh but the masala inside was cold and it was stale as well, fried rice and curry was okay, tawa fish wasn’t good either, after eating food from there our stomach got upset and made the decision to never order from the restaurant ever again !!

Excellent today very hot atmosphere I bring my whole family to celebrate Easter Day in Chennai Dosa derby Tasty food, mutton biriyani superb Authentic South Indian taste yummy!
