Enjoyed our meal here, service was good and price was reasonable for what we had. The popadoms were served with lots of accompaniments which we thoroughly enjoyed. Starter and main course also tasty and good portions.

From the moment we entered we were welcomed. Given the option of where we would like to sit, great service and the food was amazing, good quality curries with plenty of taste we had the Pathia and Jaipuri as mains as well as side dishes which were all beautiful. Even the poppadoms came with an array of sauces which were all so tasty. First time visit 100 percent be back

Currently on holiday in this area and we thought we would try this particularly as it had some very interesting Bangladeshi dishes. Having worked in the country over a number of years, the ambience photos and friendly staff made us very welcome. Everything about the experience was exceptional. The staff, food cleanliness of the restaurant and facilities was brilliant. We went for chef recommendations and they were awesome. Clearly freshly constructed in the true Bangladeshi way. Fast and efficient service and excellent value. Can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you

So many times i have suggested that they are honest with delivery times, and too many times ignored. Shame really, as yes we might only be two people, but two professionals with many, many friends whom i would never recommend to ..... appalling way to treat any customer however small or large an order. Many, many years of loyal service, however, never again

My friend and I booked a table for the evening of 25/08/20. We arrived and were greeted by a member of staff who showed us to our table. We were very impressed by the way the tables were arranged for social distancing and all the staff wore masks . We had our drinks while we looked at the menu and when the waiter came over after a few minutes we ordered our meals. After a few minutes our poppadums and pickle tray came. Just after we finished those our chicken bhuna and rice arrived. The meals were amazing. The rice and chicken was cooked to perfection. My friend said it was the best chicken bhuna she had ever had. I agreed with her. The whole experience was perfect. The staff were very efficient and polite even though they were very busy. Thank you to management and staff for a wonderful meal and experience at De La Zouch.

Although we've been managing well during lockdown, we just fancied a takeaway meal. Rang the restaurant to confirm they were doing delivery and then ordered online. Online order process was straightforward, confirmation e-mail sent quickly, and food arrived within their time estimate. And the food? Piping hot, good sized portions and tasted great. Any downsides? No.

This fairly typical East Midlands Indian restaurant benefits from its location with numerous pubs and other (perhaps better) restaurants all on the same main road. I went on a Saturday night and we sat in the crowded upstairs. The table next to us was so close there was barely room to get through the gap between tables to sit down. The service was tragically slow and the general decor and toilet facilities in need of some decoration.That said, when we did get our food and drinks it was all very good and on a par with other Indian's in the East Midlands. The poppadoms were served with a good variety of dips and chili sauces and the mains (we didn't have starters, or we might have been there until midnight) were fresh tasting and spicy enough. The madras was rather mild compared to a lot of other places - so if you do want a kick ask them to spice it up.I would suggest that if you want to try this restaurant out go in the week not on a Saturday like we did. Although there are plenty of very good pubs nearby we did spend far too long drinking Cobra and flat coke staring out of the window wishing we could explore the pubs.

This is a great restaurant in the heart of a vibrant little market town. My partner and I enjoyed great food here and would highly recommend this place. We had poppadoms + dips to start. This was served with six dips; all the traditional flavours including a spicy apple dip which is very tasty. I had chicken sagwala and he had a chef special. I asked for extra heat and a little kick. The dish was perfect + not too hot + just what I was after. We were both impressed with our meals, the service and the restaurant itself. When we're arrived at 6.30pm there were only a few other couples eating and by the time were finished the place was packed + buzzing. This place is a must. We loved it + will definitely be back.

I have never walked out of a restaurant before. We waited 45 minutes for drinks to arrive and they only arrived after we chased them twice. , after an hour and a half we were still waiting for starters. The manager was unable to say when our food might arrive. We were not prepared to wait any longer so we told the manager we were leaving. A disastrous evening which ended up with us going to the coop over the road to buy food and cook it at home. Service terrible.Tables too close together. Don’t know what food was like as we didn’t get to taste it.

A party of 10 of us enjoyed a really good meal on busy Saturday night. We increased our table booking from 6 persons to 10 with no problem. The food came at a reasonable pace given that they were busy. I tried the madras as normally I find curries not spicy enough and this was perfect for me. Plain rice, plain naan- perfect and all nice and hot (in temperature). All washed down with Mongoose beer.

I like curries and Indian food but though this place was recommended I didn’t enjoy it. Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived so we had to stand by the door and wait, bad start! The place was heaving both upstairs and down and the staff were fighting a losing battle. It took ages to get served and when eventually the food came the nans were burnt and the curry was indescribable, I ordered duck but honestly it could have been any meat, it had no taste certainly not duck! On a positive note the staff were pleasant and did their best but silk purses and sows ears come to mind. Finally the water tasted of chlorine.

Just visited here with my wife and son and was thoroughly disappointed with the meals, the cost of them and the meal content. The visit was to introduce my son to Indian food, he is 14 and i wanted him to experience some different tastes. I really shouldnt have chosen De La Zouch to do that, as its nowehere near to being a good restaurant. One of the meals we ordered was the 'Tandoori Special Deluxe' it was anything but special and no sign of anything that could be remotely described as deluxe. The whole meal consisted of one chicken leg and about six very small pieces of chicken tikka. I did send it back once with a comment about how special it really wasn't and how there was no sign of any sheek kebab as the description said it had and also that I was thoroughly unimpressed by the lack of meat within the dish! It was truly pathetic and by far the worse tandoori mixed grill that ive ever had. We did meet a friend of my wife's in there who said they usualy find the place to be ok, so perhaps i just ordered the wrong food or it was a simply a "special" and "Deluxe" mixed tandoori main meal because it was a 'meat free' one. I dont know but what i do know is that i wont be going there again.

I had an early doors meal at the De La Zouch on a wednesday evening and found a table available straight away. Waiters were pleasant and the meal generally was very good. Situated in Market Street, Ashby's main street. My main gripe was that when I came to pay the bill- around £20 for one person, I handed over my credit card to be told that they do not accept credit cards for under £25- why could they not have told me when I sat down? How many bills for one diner are goping to come to over £25 unless expensive drinks are ordered- I only had 2 Cobras. The waiter accepted the card begrudgingly, probably because he realised that I hadn't been told.

We had booked in advance so we were taken upstairs to eat not my preference because upstairs you are sort of forgotten about so my family and I never have eaten up there. Anyway, it took 20 minutes for our drinks to come and then it was 1 1/4 hours to get our food even though we ordered at the start!

.....it means nothing. We were booked in at 8.30 on a Wednesday. Turned up 20 minutes early to be told quite abruptly to come back at 8.30. When we returned at 8.30, there was a huge queue, blatantly obviously no tables. We argued to no avail and were asked to leave. I don't know why we bothered, the last meal I had here was awful, but I went with the majority. They must be doing something right, judging by the queues, but i will never return.

Large groups are always difficult to cater for...noisey, inattentive and the general volume. We had asked to be upstairs so we wouldn't disturb others and the table was great. Table was booked for 730 but sadly main course didn't arrive til 855. Only had poppadoms as starter so felt this was too long to wait. When it did arrive the food was delicious and very well spiced. Staff were attentive after we prompted them due to the delay. Only ever been with larger groups and have found this delay is the norm.

Large varied menu, food cooked very well and very tasty.The only downside, I would say is that the tables are rather close together, you do tend to hear what others are discussing around you, I wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a quiet romantic meal... anyway, we will definately be visiting again and again as there are so many dishes we would like to try on the menu.

My mixed Balti was very good in fact all the dishes were good.Service was timely and all the order arrived correct.The bill was £90 so not cheap but the drinks probably dear.The place is nicely decorated but the toilets are not.There is a massive choice on the menu probably too much.I would recommend it but it's not special

Food is average.Tables are very close to each other.Definitely it's not a romantic place.Serving portion is very big.But better than many Bangladeshi restaurant.

This was my first visit and the food and staff have made a very good impression. Ten of us had a great evening all trying different dishes and all saying we must come back. A couple from out of the area said it was the best food they had had in a very long time and would consider staying in Ashby just so they could use the restaurant.

Wife loved the chicken so much she ate like a rat, rubbery and tasteless. Lamb and starters frozen and disgusting. Clearly the waiters know this as they don't ask if you enjoyed the food.

We don't often go for a curry and this was our first taste of "De la Zouch". It was Wednesday evening, 6:30 and the restaurant was almost full downstairs. We were promptly greated and seated, comfortable seats. The waiter took the trouble to answer our questions. We both had pakoras to start, one veg, one chicken. For our main course we shared Milli Juli platter and Chefs sizzling (no one, chicken strips in tamarind sauce, green peppers and onions with rice and noodles) Food and service both good. We can see why it is popular. They also do take away with free delivery in 3 mile radius.

Went for a large group celebration. We were advised to pre order & they helped us with food choices to cover all tastes. Food was fantastic with just the right amount & service was great & efficient.

Attended Da la Zouch after a few years of not going to it. Very good curry. I had a 'dry' one and the waiter pointed this out and recommended a Bhuna side dish which really complimented the dish. Going back there for another meal in two days

Been a couple of times now and very impressed both times, very well presented food, flavour packed a punch have tried other restaurants in Ashby but not sure why? Won't be anymore as no point going elsewhere. Service fine, prices about average but you get what you pay for.

We'd avoided here for a while after a couple of not great experiences but decided to give it another go on an impromptu curry night out.I use a dhansak as my 'curry enter' and this one was very good: sweet & spicy and the coconut pilau rice was amazing. Great variety in pickles with the poppadoms too. Couple of downsides: the tables are very squashed in, the garlic naan was VERY garlicky & the vegetable platter was just different shaped spicy mashed vegetables (all tasted good but I'd have ordered a pakora if that's all I'd wanted). Service was good: attentive but not 'in your face' Let's hope this is a constant upturn as we used to love it here.

Ordered from here as our usual Takeaway (Samya Spice) was closed. Easy to order and good selection on the menu and delivered on time. Sadly the food is over priced and under flavoured - the most bland Asian food we have ever had. Bhuna, Madras, Jaipuri all tasteless and far too similar. Poor standard and not restaurant quality by any means. Will not order again.

Went with friends to celebrate my husbands birthday In March 2015 we are quite regular customers there and the food had always been good. Confirmed the booking the same day. When we arrived the table was no where near ready In fact I don't think it had been reserved. The manager suggested the 10 of us squeeze on a table for 6 while we wait. They then suggested serving starters on that squashed table which we declined so ended up eating 90 minutes later. A Few months later we ordered a take away which when we got home was wrong, the manager thought it was funny we had to return and recollect. In Another take away the meat was inedible. We decided never again. Unfortunately another friend invited us to celebrate their birthday at De La Zouch this March so we went along. They confirmed the booking that day but when we arrived no table was ready. The manager thought it was amusing he said it was a mistake and suggests we squash up again. We refused and walked out as the manager had yet again clearly not reserved a table and assumed we would make do. We got a takeaway fromOver the road and ate at our friends Unfortunately ashby is a smallTown and we already knowPeople are avoiding this restaurant due to declining service and quality of food. Eventually it will catch up with them but until then at least 10 of us will not visit again

I love how you get a free onion bhaji starter chucked in. Poppodoms are always fresh and the curry wasn't too oily. Price reasonable too. We love it here - best takeaway for miles.

Two friends and I went here after a disappointing walk around the pubs in Ashby trying to find a decent pint. At about 10pm on a Friday, the place was very busy but we managed to find a table. The menu is quite extensive, and although it warns of a possible wait for your food, ours seemed to arrive quite quickly. We all had a main course but split two starters between us; something the staff seemed quite happy to do.The staff were attentive (but not overly) the food was hot, well presented and tasty, although the portion size was a little on the small size. Prices were mostly reasonable; three main courses, naans, two starters and three beers came to £48, although I think that £1.50 for a single chapatti is a little steep.

Visited during the Annual Fun Fair, so might have been a busy time, food was OK, lamb starter was chewy and not warm, even though I took my time with the menu and chose the most authentic sounding Bangladeshi dish what came out tasted like a supermarket curry, was not impressed.Will be trying other curry houses in Ashby first before thinking of returning.Can't recommend it at this stage.

Visit De La Zouch last Friday and all of our party left very disappointed.There was a hair in our papadum (actually cooked into it!). No worries, we thought. We aren't too picky so just broke that bit off. The dips were nice, the green pickle was blow your head off, but one of the nicest ones I've tasted.Starters were actually dripping in grease when we picked them up. Yes, we had bhajis and samosas, but they still shouldn't be in a puddle of oil on the plate.Mains were generally disappointing, aside from the Lamb Shashlik. Not very much meat and very salty. We shared three curries between four of us, and had a long wait for the additional plate, despite telling them when we ordered. I know they were very busy though.The price was very reasonable for the four of us including drinks, but the meal just wasn't that nice. Sorry!

Ordered a Balti takeaway from here tonight. Never used the place before and a bit out of the local area for us, but I have been looking for somewhere that makes a good lamb balti, the likes, as i remember , of the Baltis I use to get in Broad Street Birmingham. Checked out the reviews on trip advisor, it was a choice between De la Zouch and Rickshaw. We chose De la Zouch as it appeared to have the edge and we are glad we did. Food arrived within the said time which was good. However it was the taste that got my vote! My sheek kebab starter was tasty with a lovely crisp salad. But the Balti took me right back to Brum. Plenty of tender meat and in rich spicy sauce with a hint of a creamy texture. Definatly go there again!
