Delia's Restaurant & Bar in Norwich

Felt ignored all night, dined at Delias on many occasions as a couple and as family, but last night I’m sorry to say was not a joy! Booked for 2 birthday celebrations 24th & 18th it was nice to have cards signed by Delia on the table but that was where the special night after that went down hill. Lots of staff running around and looking after other tables , but we seemed to be forgotten , no bread was offered until we eventually asked for it after we had our starters we had to poor our own water and wines, not what you expect from Delias , Michelle the restaurant manager spoke with every table other than ours which I personally found very rude and odd Sorry but I would not rush to return, it’s an hour drive to get to Norwich for us so we expect to be treated properly £450 wasted !!!!

This is an exceptional restaurant. Sadly not at all busy on a Saturday night - it deserves to be! Staff are lovely - relaxed, friendly and unpretentious. The food is of a really high quality and while not cheap for Norwich does represent excellent value for money. High class. Would have liked more than one vegetarian option for the main course but suspect the menu reflects the preferences of the local clientele!

Thanks for a lovely evening. Met up with friends and couldn’t ask more from the wonderful front of house staff who were very attentive. Michelle and Craig run an excellent restaurant. Would also like to thank the chefs as the food was excellent throughout.

The main course was just a few prawns and rice. The starter pate was okay. The pud was lovely. Ice cream with ginger.

Myself and my best friend were given some vouchers for Delias so we decided to visit there on Saturday 19th of October and we were completely blown away by the whole experience the food, service and ambiance was amazing and we are hoping to return again soon

Warm welcome, excellent food, service couldn’t be faulted. Would be more than happy to return.

Absolutely fabulous. Best restaurant I have ever visited. Ambience quiet and sophisticated. Excellent service and food. Terrific value for money. A must if visiting Norwich.

We ate here for our wedding anniversary, the evening was fantastic right from stepping through the door with our meet and greet, the canapes were tasty. Nothing was rushed and our meal was tasty and plentiful and a nice touch of a wedding anniversary card from Delia. We loved every minute of our dining experience and will definitely be back. Thank you to Michele and the team

Very relaxed.good food.great staff will go again soon

I made the reservation to celebrate my husbands birthday and Father’s Day. What a lovely evening we had. The staff were all so friendly and professional. Menu was seasonal and varied. Our 10 year old son accompanied us and was very much welcomed. He really enjoyed the food and the experience. My husband was given a card signed by Delia Smith which was a really nice touch. We would most certainly return (and so would our son!). Thanks for a wonderful evening!

As always, we had a magnificent dinner at Delia's Restaurant. The ambiance was lovely, and the staff was amazing. Michele was attentive and informative about the wines and service. The staff are amazing, and the food matches their excellence. Thank you, Michelle. We look forward to seeing you nearer Christmas on our next visit to Norwich. I didn't realize that you can park for free!

My wife and I dined at Delia's last Saturday evening. The food was delicious, the portions huge, and it was very good value for money. I have paid a lot more for a lot less in other high end establishments. The staff were all very accommodating but a special shout out to Quentin who did our "meet and greet" and Manager Michelle. Thoroughly recommend Delia's. We will return.

We had a wonderful meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The service was good and the staff very friendly and efficient. My smoked trout starter was excellent , along with my main course of duck in cherry sauce. In fact, we all thoroughly enjoyed our menu choices, as well as the wines we ordered.

Had a wonderful evening with my wife. Staff were attentive, especially, Michelle, Amy & Chloe without being intrusive. Food and choices of wine were excellent. Recommend without hesitation. Martin & Sue.

Handmade canapés would have been nice. Veg with main course was bland. Nice place though. 👍

Food was fine, you would expect no less. Service friendly but a bit casual. Atmosphere a bit lacking and bland interiors.

Comme c’était le nouveau menus au restaurant Delia à Norwich. Nous sommes allés moi ainsi que ma mon épouse et ma fille manger vendredi dernier. Nous avons été très bien accueilli et nous avons été satisfait du service. Autant que de l’alimentation. Je recommande ce restaurant à des Français qui viendrait à Norwich.

We visited for a birthday dinner. Parking was easy. Greeting was excellent and a birthday card awaited me at the table signed by Delia which was a nice touch! We had some drinks at the bar and then moved to the table. Starters of mussels and-egg mayo (nice but odd as a starter. French onion soup was also Main of haddock was excellent. Steak was good and sausage and mash very nice. Overall service was good but bill was slow to arrive. It definitely has a touch of nostalgia in terms of the menu and does what it says on the tin. Classic food cooked well.

We got taken to our table ordered drinks and waited for over five minutes for them. We ordered from the ala carte menu only to find out that one of the starters was sold out. The main that we both had was steak it was small but tasty,the fries was crunchy and oily some had potato in them,the salad... sorry I meant the water cress and lettuce wouldn't have filled a tea cup. The dessert was lovely, chocolate and cherry roulade, Wine was good. Service seemed to take ages, I asked the waiter for another drink but he didn't hear me as he walked past our table,it was the table behind us that alerted him that we needed service, Nice ambience, very clean and tidy but sadly we won't go there again,we might try the restaurant downstairs which is called canaries. Maybe because it was a match day and they beat Cardiff 4-1 that we found that it wasn't to our expectations.

I visited Delia’s for a Christmas meal, and not only was the food delightful, but the service from the staff was truly exceptional. Awen, in particular, displayed an incredible level of hospitality. When my colleagues and I expressed interest in the pitch-side boxes, Awen effortlessly guided us there, patiently addressing all our inquiries. A heartfelt thank you to Awen for making our experience memorable with such outstanding service. :)

Great service with above average food, but nothing exciting. The canapés were good and the mince pies and chocolates were delicious. Souflle was very nice, beef en croute was OK, triffle was OK. The service was exceptionally attentive and never rushed. We will be back.

Great things - -Staff are great - relaxed, friendly, slick and professional - Food is great -Drinks - including wine - well priced - No service charge - so means more likely to leave a good tip! - Personal card from Delia - classy! Thoughts - - The restaurant knew we are vegetarian - we were brought mini sausage rolls and olives while looking at the menu. We reminded the member of staff that we are vegetarian- she took the plate away, removed the sausage rolls then came back with the same plate only containing the olives. In the scheme of things no drama - but not five star service! - I know this is just an opinion - but it is all a bit beige. The majority of the guests are older beige provincials, the music is piped piano and the decor is a bit dull.

As ever, we enjoyed a lovely evening at Delia's. It's a joy to eat in a quiet, sophisticated atmosphere with first class service and attention to every detail that keeps patrons feeling very relaxed. The staff are obviously very well trained in all aspects of service and hospitality The food is beautifully cooked and presented, although personally, I found the present menu a little limited this time as I don't like cooked cream which featured in a lot of dishes. However, everything we chose was a joy to eat. Unfortunately, we can't visit as often as we would like, but it is our first choice for special occasions. If only more restaurants aspired to the high standards of Delia's. Keep up the great work.

Service was friendly and helpful and the menu was such a lovely variety of nostalgic and modern. Wine was devine as well as the food and we had a very lovely evening

The quality of the food was dreamy! Excellent and a fixed price 3 course for under £50. Superb service with charming staff. We had travelled from Colchester for a day trip would happily drive to Norwich just for a meal. Cannot recommend any more! Lorraine

Delicious food, wonderful, friendly staff and really nice atmosphere (albeit a little quiet). Will definitely be back for a special occasion!

Another outstanding evening at DELIAS. The staff are very friendly and happy to help and they all seem to really enjoy their work. The food was absolutely amazing full of flavour and we'll presented. We even got a signed card as it was our anniversary (another one to the collection)

Wonderful evening , very attentive staff, lovely atmosphere and super food!

Works outing. Food very rationed portions you had to queue up for. Good entertainment But food needs a lot to be desired Service just about acceptable

This is an inexpensive fine dining restaurant especially for catching up with friends whom you haven’t seen for a long time. When I visited another fine dining restaurant somebody recommended the duck. I ordered it and wasn’t disappointed. The summer pudding was also very good.

What a lovely restaurant. Staff extremely friendly and always on hand but not intrusive. The food was excellent and very good value. No service charge automatically added to the bill which is very rare these days which I thought was great. Would definitely return again .

Thoroughly enjoyable evening and wonderful food experience celebrating both our birthdays. Staff were brilliant, attentive and polite and food was delicious. Little extra of a signed birthday card each from Delia was cute too!

Went for a long awaited meal here for a variety of family celebrations. Found the atmosphere to be really great - top level service but relaxed at the same time. All the staff friendly and attentive. Also plenty of people here for the evening but the restaurant was not overly noisy. Top level food and drink. I could barely move by the end of it. Really enjoyed the visit here and would definitely return for another occasion.

Just got home from Delia’s. Really great night. Food - first class. Service really good. Special mention to Ewan. Our first time there. We would definitely go back.

The service and the food were absolutely superb. We were looked after so well and Michelle was brilliant, picking some great wines for us to have with our meal, she was also very informative and happy to chat with us about the various wines. It was also exceptionally good value in comparison to other restaurants of this type in the area. We will certainly be going again soon

Lovely experience, wonderful staff who couldn't do enough for us, and excellent food

Excellent service very attentive . The food was first class .

Couldn’t fault anything .. Excellent food - quality, perfectly cooked and with the lots of flavour. Excellent service - everyone was very professional but also lovely and friendly made the whole experience exceptional. With delicious hors d’oevres /appetisers and truly tasty handmade chocolates to finish. Lovely touch with a card for our anniversary. My photos really don’t do justice to the food - it was so so tasty!

Never been disappointed, been numerous times over the years and the quality of the food and service is as high as ever. Had a wonderful time and will return

Dined there last night for the first time absolutely brilliant lovely place easy to talk to friends around the table and the food was delightful great place be back soon

Every last mouthful of food was delicious. Limited menu but this encouraged me to try new things. Never have I experienced better service from the moment we walked in and I have been lucky enough to dine in many top restaurants in London. Our second visit but I hope for many more.

Shocked at the low quality food for the money, if i'd wanted tinned peas and potatoes i would have stayed home. Was made unwell by the beer, if they have ever cleaned a line i'd be surprised. Heavly regretting the visit. The staff were lovely, really are a credit to the place because the food sure isnt.

I have eaten at many high class establishments. Several of which "trade on their name" - this is definately not one of them. I have also seen a comment as regards the protions being a decent size - this is 100% correct. The meal was very good value for money. We had a large group of 20 across 2 tables - we had ordered in advance - faultless service - hot to table. One point is that one of our party noted it was the first restaurnat he had been to where he could talk to felllow guests with out all the background noise as it was lovely a spcious venue. Would go again.

What a lovely culinary experience. The food at Delia's is fantastic. The focus is firmly set on flavours and enjoyment of great food that's well prepared and presented. We had a great evening. The staff are really, really lovely. Not over intrusive, just very friendly, highly professional and focussed on ensuring you have a good time. Thank you everyone. And a great personal touch with a birthday card from Delia to welcome us. Much appreciated. May you all continue to flourish.

Our visit to Delia's exceeded our high expectations. Delighted with every aspect from service to food to decor to ambiance....all excellent. Will definitely be going back !

We worship Delia so definitely fans of her cooking and books etc. Service and staff were superbly trained and very friendly. Really, really impressed. Food was good and certainly for the price fine but did not wow me, perhaps my expectations were too high and had I expected good wholesome grub, somewhere anonymous I would have been very happy. Overall a very good experience definitely liked it and definitely worth it.

Relaxing and friendly,professional and of course excellent food ! Great value and soufflee divine! We will return!

Compliments to the chef..Simone I believe..steak cooked to perfection.. Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 courses.. Service staff from start to finish very good. Polite and cheerful! Good evening had for a works outing..hopefully to return soon!

Excellent service and ambience. A relatively small selection of starters/mains/desserts (which was good to see). Great dishes - so difficult to make a choice, and all excellently cooked. A thoroughly enjoyable occasion. Thank you.

First time visit for Mother's Day. From the start of booking the staff were fantastic. My mum is allergic to dairy I had a phone call two days before the booking to confirm the allergy and discuss the alternatives. Upon arrival at the restaurant on...

From the moment you enter the restaurant, until you leave, everything was just amazing. Amazing food, Amazing Service and every member of staff too. This restaurant is the place to be on a Friday and Saturday night. Thank you all for a lovely evening.⭐️

The last time we visited Deliahs was around 14 years ago so were apprehensive as what to expect, but from the moment you enter the restaurant with the gentleman who greets you and takes your coats to the time you leave everything is spot on....

Ate here on Jan 14th 2023. Set 3 course meal including tea/coffee & chocolates. I had Quiche for starter,fish in sauce for main & cheese/biscuits for pudding. Couldn’t fault it. Staff attentive,brushed the table after each course. We had 4 rounds of drinks of wine...

Fantastic experience.Table no.6.Well treated by staff.Somellier gave us well matched wine choices with each delicious course.

We went for dinner as a family and having grown up with Delia so wanted this to be such a superb experience. Unfortunately we were left with a bitter taste…. Whilst starters, french onion soup & soufflé, were fabulous, the duck main (£5 supplement) was disappointingly tough and my wife’s smoked haddock main was over salty. When it came to dessert my wife didn’t want one but we were told that it was a 3 course set dinner and we would be charged regardless. Despite the food waste, she was encouraged to try something that she really didn’t want and hardly touched. The front of house manager flatly refused to flex. On paying over £70 per head we expected so much more from you Delia.

Really good food, well priced and excellent service. The room is a little bit multi purpose, but given the price that's no issue at all really. The food was tasty, menu changes every month and reads really well. The staff were really friendly and up for a bit of a chat or banter. Recommended!

treats their staff like trash, refusing breaks and time off when their parent died. avoid if you’re looking to work there

Had my work Christmas party booked here, we went for the traditional Christmas party. Expecting high things at such a prestigious establishment, sadly let down. Was told to arrive for 7pm, with food served at 7.30pm and disco to begin at 9pm. Didn't recieve bread until 8.15pm, starter served at 9pm with mains at 9.30pm and dessert not served until 10.20pm. As a result food was warm at best, having being left out on a hot plate. Having paid £50 a ticket, and with my work placing meant to be in a partnership and a key sponsor of Norwich City Football Club, I and the rest of our two tables was disappointed. When the food was coming out, waiting staff were running round like headless chickens, asking if we had ordered the food from the menu, rather than having taken a pre order. The bar prices were inflated, with staff that didn't seem capable of pouring a pint.

First visit to Delia's but won't be the last. Perfect evening...high quality amazing food, great choice of drinks and attentive/ well trained staff who made you feel like you were the only guests there. Nothing too much trouble. Big shout out to Jordan and Michelle...

Brilliant service and food . Great value too!

Went to Delia's to spoil ourselves. It is an amazing place for any occasion. The food and wine was lovely, the staff were so professional. A memorable evening. Worth every penny

We held an event here, and it was brilliant. The staff were helpful and the food was delicious! We had a 3 course meal. It is a bit on the expensive side though.

Traditional, elegant & refined mostly. The menu could be varied more (seems the same every xmas), & the staff a little inexperienced on occasion.

Great food, nice portion size which is unusual these days with pay more and get less, great staff and enough of them no one felt pressured. Had a few meals lately not HERE that I’ve felt overcharged and under fed. But here it’s good value for your money. Parking non match days is close by and free. It was nice to find somewhere locally, my partner that’s a chef didn’t find a problem with. In itself an achievement.

Very pleasant evening with great service

Excellent service, great food, I really enjoyed myself

Delia's Carow Road (the home of the 'Canaries') for our wedding anniversary. Lots of parking, exemplary service right from the moment we arrived; naturally the food was fantastic (can you tell I'm a fan) , the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Fixed price menu so eminently affordable. What's not to like.

Excellent meal served by brilliant friendly but unpushy staff who seemed to genuinely enjoy their work.the foodvhere is unpretentious typical of its star progenitor.the surroundings are unfussy and relaxed.we felt the cost was very reasonable.I wish we lived closer highly recommended

Throughly enjoyed our dinner last night. Attentive service and wonderful food. Lovely and quiet atmosphere where you can actually have a decent conversation and hear each other without having to raise your voices. We will definitely be back.

Great food (divine duck!), great service and great friends!

We have been here twice now and on each occasion it's been better than we had hoped. On the first occasion we went for our wedding anniversary with our children. I had ordered a rare steak as a main and I'm afraid I had to...

We have been here in a number of occasions and always enjoyed our visits. Tonight’s menu was particularly good and, as ever, the staff could not do enough to help you. Because of the outstanding quality of the food and service, this has to be...

Meal prior to the Canaries Trust Board meeting as always, love eating here.

There is no one word to describe Delia's! Beautiful food Friendly staff Amazing service Lovely atmosphere Great experience Totally recommend

Beautiful food, all served by the most friendly, knowledgeable and kind staff you could ask for. It truly was an amazing experience. I'll definitely be going again!

Excellent meal and service from lovely staff.

Warm welcome from efficient Young Staff, Downhill from that, Two members of staff too important to wear a name badge, The older Blonde woman in a Black dress bought us a Glass of Champagne that was totally flat and had to be changed, We had...

Good service and not too crowded

From arrival to leaving this was without a doubt the best service and dining experience we have ever experienced. In terms of the service I found it fascinating to observe how the team covered everything needed with courtesy and a smile.Nothing was disjointed and flowed...

Looked forward to this for some time And I was not disappointed Thank you!

We recently visited here for a private afternoon gathering expecting a relaxing time. This was a mistake starting with the parking. When we parked as directed-there was no easy pedestrian exit to Delias as all barred - until you walked halfway back on yourself. There...

Unusual evening. We were greeted and asked if we would like a drink at the bar or at our table which is nice to have that option. Cocktails and more of a drinks range would be nice. I agree with previous comments in relation to...

The service couldn’t be faulted - to the point of being overly attentive. However, everything else about Delia’s lacked oomph. Unbelievable that in this day and age they don’t offer any cocktails and refuse to make them, not a great start. The ambiance belonged in...

First visit to Delias thought we’d give it a try as it was on our list of places to visit and I think we will be returning. Great experience with lots of attention to detail we were seen by or served by 13 separate members...

This has been the third time as a family we’ve visited Delia’s for birthdays/special occasions. The food was excellent quality and well presented. Kitchen staff were accommodating for some more choosier members of the party which we had organised prior to the evening. Food was...

Feels a bit like entering a cruise ship restaurant, and lacks a bit of ambiance, however this is made up for by the very warm welcome and the attentiveness of the staff. Menu is restrictive, but presentation is good. Food was a little on the...

We booked the ultimate dining package for my birthday. WOW! Loved it- everything was outstanding from start to finish but a big mention of Michelle who made it even more special. Absolutely brilliant

Impressed! That’s the first word that comes to mind. From the greeting, to the decor and eventually the food. Just impressive. When I saw it was in the stadium, I hesitated for you see, it was a special occasion if you catch my drift 😉. Needless to say, all were pleased and well fed by the time the night was through. I recommend the mussels, monkfish and sticky toffee pudding. And may I suggest you dress to impress. Thank me later.

Wow!!!! As always !! Best meal we have had out since the last time we were here 4 or 5 years ago (& we eat out a fair bit) . Absolutely incredible taste combinations, portion sizes just right to enjoy 3 courses & friendly attentive...

The service is faultless. Friendly and helpful staff. The best restaurant service I can remember.

I have always been a fan of Delias cookery books so I was really looking forward to the meal at her restaurant. The room is light and airy, staff are attentive and the food was acceptable. I had duck which was very tender but the skin was soft and fatty rather than crispy, and I think a little jus was needed, the fish souffle was tasty and the ginger ice cream was creamy. However this food was certainly not outstanding. We also waited for an hour from entering the restaurant until receiving any food and then only after complaining. There seems to be more people in charge than serving? All staff however were very polite and apologetic. We were given a free after dinner drink to make up for our long wait. The following night we ate at the Cotes Brasserie(chain) in the city which was two thirds of the price, much tastier and far more professional in their service.

The whole experience at Delia’s was exceptional. From the moment we walked through the front door we were treated by all staff with care and humour. What a great evening. The food is absolutely great from beginning to end. Cannot rate this highly enough, if...

We had a thoroughly enjoying evening at Delia’s last night. The restaurant is smart. The staff very professional without being stuffy, friendly just enough. The food is out of this world. We will definitely go back and recommend the place. It is very good value....

Exceptional service, relaxing yet classy atmosphere, outstanding but not too posh food. We had a package with wine paring too and that was brill - a fab experience and would do it again.

Came for Mother’s anniversary. Wife ordered a water when we where at the bar. Didn’t get it with our other drinks. Thought they’d forgotten to be honest, came about ten mins later. Strange. Apart from that Have to say everything was really good. Great food...
