Dronfield Masala in North East Derbyshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Missing items in our order, replaced with items we didn’t want and the curry’s we ordered were lacking in flavour. The lamb biryani tasted more like mutton, extremely chewy. The nans were broken up and tiny for what they charge…Overall, extremely dissatisfied and would not recommend.

Quality Indian takeaway with some fantastic deals. Please try their food it's a must!

Good loyal customer really gone down hill payed cash refused refund lost custom really not happy

Masala do a family special option on a Sunday and we have been having one or two a month for a while now. It use to be very good value and very enjoyable. But sadly this year it has been changing. Less pieces of chicken in a main course, gone from 8 pieces down to 5. And 4 very small pieces of chicken/lamb in the starters. And also gone up in price too this year. Didn't enjoy it very much tonight, the pappadoms didn't taste right tonight, the quality seems to have been reduced as well as quantity. Come on Masala, you can do better.

Order not complete .. again, thought we would give them another chance wish we hadn't absolutely awful will never order from here again .if you order from here ..its your choice ,you have been warned. tried phoning to complain miraculously no answer

Very Very watery curry which is a shame as the little curry that was in there tasted nice

Another lovely takeaway from Dronfield Masala, most Sundays we order the family special. You get plenty of food and at a reasonable price. Delivered today within 45 minutes. Friendly delivery drivers. The Lamb Tikka starter and chicken tikka starter are recommended, and you get 4 starters. I always enjoy a main of chicken tikka masala. Comes with, chips, rice, naan bread and poppadoms. Highly recommended.

Ordered lamb noni no paneer cheese in the curry just grated cheese on top never been pilau rice sent us boiled used to swear by this place never again

Baffled as to why there’s so many bad reviews. We really enjoy a takeout from here and they always stick to the time they say we can collect for.

I did not enjoy any of the food I have just eaten from here. 2 dishes were extremely watery and one dish didn’t taste anything like it should have. The rice tasted like the rice you cook in the microwave in the bags. Definitely not authentic or fresh. Waited for a very long time only to be extremely disappointed. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. This review is not a reflection on the staff, it’s based on the food.

Very disappointing, used to be good and great value but now its just cheap and nasty - serving up very poor quality food. Shami kebab tough and dried out, sheek kebab stale and off tasting, samosas straight from the cash and carry freezer. Currys bland and lacking any subtlety. I would rather spend a bit more and have better quality food i.e. go to mint leaf over the other side of the car park

Sorry we tried you tonight after our usual place couldn’t deliver as so busy, ok your delivery was within time but sorry the food is lacking , Meat quality was good but the taste was bland watery no heat or spice at all very disappointing

The absolute best place to order from, Everything was beautiful. Delivered hot and on time. Definitely recommend.

Used Dronfield masala a lot of the years for takeaways. But last few orders we have had items missing off the order. Very disappointing seems to be a regular thing.

Absolutely useless. Been using this place forva qhile yet suddenly customers don't matter. Well l guess it's bye

Boring bland "special curry" tasted of nothing. Greasy horrid onion bargi's disgusting. Forgot one of the curries on our order... never go back again blergh

OK food. Not really spicy enough and very tomato based flavour. Not really my idea of Indian cuisine. Sorry guys.

First time we’ve tried this one but must say it was very good,one of the best jalfrezi I’ve had 👍🌶🌶🔥

Three take aways on different occasions. three times dishes missing. Three meals spoiled. Far better places available.

Don't order on deliveroo, they claim to have a mix up after an hour and a half, then say another half hour for delivery. Absolute shambles.

What an amazing place, we missed an item off our order online, not only did they send the extra item but they sent us the whole meal again complimentary, and to add to it the food is awesome, 10/10 for this takeaway would recommend every time 👍👍

Great service and on time. curry's very tasty one of the best I've had. thay forget. My portion of fries 🍟 but was back at my door in around 8 minutes with not 1 but 2 portions of fries. thanks guys will definitely be ordering again. found my new restaurant. 👌

Ordered last Friday Delivery was on time. End of good things to say. Aloo Chop bland and tasteless. Samosas had unpleasant stale taste and were inedible - as a hobby British Indian Restaurant curry cook I recommend the should change their cooking oil . Not flavoured oil, just used once too often. Wife ordered Aloo gobi but we received chana aloo with an apology scribbled on the lid - " sorry no gobi" and as she doesn't eat chickpeas into the bin it went. The Tarka Dhal was thinner than watery soup and lacked flavour. The Garlic Chilli chicken was equally lacking in flavour and had an unpleasant underlying taste and the Lamb Passanda was ordinary at best. The worst takeaway curry we have had in years. Avoid.

Ordered a takeaway from here for the first time, the reviews gave it 4.6 starts so can’t argue with that, the food arrived on time but was cold, we had to microwave everything which was puzzling as we only live 5 minutes drive away, the chips where as hard as bullets even before we tried to warm them up, they went in the bin, The mains dishes, rice and Bahja’is where tasteless to be honest so overall as my title suggests we wher very disappointed, won’t be ordering from here again, they had one chance and they blew it.

Best curry in town not one complaint. The food was perfect

I ordered from here on UberEats. The food never arrived, when I phoned the restaurant I was abused and blamed. The was I was spoken to was truly disgusting. There are plenty of other similqr restaurants in the area of similar quality, use those instead.

Ordered from here the other week used to use nawaabs but since i found masala this place is just the best around and ordered again tonight love it love it love it 😀😍 can't go wrong for meal for 2 and the price for the food u get yummy cant wait

Uber eats, remote cottage Placed order at 5pm for 8pm delivery. Waited and waited. Eventually it was on it's way but then cancelled. Used 3 takeaways who all found us but you couldn't. Not good enough

Recommended by a friend so this is my first experience with them. What can I say? Absolutely amazing quality of food that was extremely tasty, delivered quickly and was piping hot. would highly recommend.

We've tried all the Indian restaurants/takeaway meals in Dronfield and have come to the decision that Masala is the best one we've had. Friendly and efficient service coupled with great tasting food (a proper Jalfrezi!).... what more do you need.

Lovely food Good price Fast efficient service

Very professional and courteous, food was amazing I'd recommend the speacial massala and the garlic rice too

Constant harassment via text message. Only ordered there once.

Ordered our first Indian meal from here last night and it was superb, lovely food and great delivery service, very happy and we will be ordering again!!!! Keep up the good food and service !!!

We had our second takeaway delivered last night and the food was excellent and good value. I would have given 5 stars if it hadn’t taken an hour to be delivered - our first take away only took around 20 minutes. However, I would not let this criticism put me off, as I would still order again- it was worth the wait!

Brilliantly managed and served just like we like it. Fresh and piping hot.

Amazing, fresh and delicious Indian food...the best I've ever tasted..👍

Placed an order at 19:00 via JustEat, which gave a delivery time of 20:15. At 20:35, I requested an update. The app changed to show 21:05. I cancelled it at 21:45. Shortly after, the delivery driver showed up and called me. I turned him away. Still hungry. Avoid!!!

A**** service fast delivery and the food was amazing first time ordering will not be the last .... Highly recommend

We have used this take away before and have always been pleased with the quality of the food . We decided to try the family meal it was really good lots of it and very tasty and great value for £20. I ordered online and it was delivered within the time stated . We will DEFINITELY be ordering again thank you MASALA for a lovely meal and great value. Also reassuring to know they have a high food hygiene rating higher than most of the surrounding restaurants.

Had food from here Saturday evening, only had to wait 15mins from order to pick up, used this place regularly in the past but not been for a few months we were not disappointed the staff were helpful and friendly the food was fab and so tasty safe to say we will be back

Really enjoyed my sizzler. Nice madras sauce and the aloo chop was delicious. I’ll be back .

Smashing food, Smashing service. They bend over backwards to make sure everything tastes spot on. Impeccable experience

Restaurant quality food great friendly people can highly recommend

We regularly have their family special which, at £20, is excellent value for money. There is more than enough for a family of four. The food is consistently high quality

Absolutely delicious. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Thanks for the speedy delivery too, all arrived piping hot

What a lovely find, this is the best takeaway I have found in the surrounding area. There are a few at Woodseats nearer to where I live but you can't compare with this place. Thankyou for a lovely meal, delivered early too by a lovely lad.

Had the meal for 2 ordered online so got a 20% discount great food great service and value for money would recommend.

Just wanted to say thank you to Dronfield Masala for delivering an excellent meal tonight for my family at this difficult time. Delivery was quick and before estimated delivery. Food was spot on excellent and loads of it for 4 of us. Thank you so much for the great service and being open for delivering. Quick and easy to order of their website.

Absolutely amazing. Food was absolutely first class and some of the beat we have ever tasted. Delivery was little late, but under the current circumstances, completely understandable. First time we've ordered and definitely will not be the last. 11/10 😊

Great food and portions, nice friendly service .

Always had great food from them for over 10 years +, nothing negitive to find with them personally. Would recommend to anybody.

After an hour and forty five minutes wait nothing had turned up, last phone call was to cancel the order, wouldn't recomened 👎

Great service, friendly staff. Reasonable prices.

Delicious curry and friendly and efficient service

Lovely meal, a korma and a chicken, paneer and spinach dish. Arrived before we expected it. Very tasty!

Excellent tikka massala, great service!! must try

Best Indian ive had in a long time, friendly staff, freshly cooked food, good sized portions and ready to collect bang on the minute. Found my new favourite takeaway 🙌

When thecdescription says 'Tandoori Chicken stir fried..... ', I was expecting my chicken off the bone, it was in fact 2 large quarter pieces, so not stir-fried in the traditional sense. The chicken itself was very dry. The rice was stuck together in lumps. The food was warm and not hot. The restaurant added 20 minutes to the original time, then delivered s further 25 minutes late. I've collected food from here before and itvwas good, this was my first delivery. I doubt I will be ordering for delivery again.

Fantastic food and service. Highly recommended.

Just ordered a takeaway for delivery tonight using the app. Ordered it as soon as it opened at 5.30pm, received the email with time for delivery at 6.33pm. It is now 7pm and it has not arrived as yet. Should have collected it if I had known it would take this long!!!!

Tri-colour rice instead of pilau rice? 35min later than time I should’ve received.

Excellent food, great service as usual, highly recommended.

Abysmal. Pre-ordered prior to opening and was quoted 55 mins delivery upon opening. Arrived 15 mins late (on a Sunday). Came to back door not front door as requested (it matters to my 3 dogs). Dishes not vindaloo hot as requested and main dishes needed 2-3 mins in the microwave to warm them through. Persian biryani totally not Persian. eg no almonds and no sultanas etc. Overall? The poorest food and delivery service I’ve had from any Indian takeaway in several years at least.

Food was piping hot and very fresh, spot on

food was absolutely exceptional! as always! pannier saag was to die for, and so was the chicken korma! and the king prawn starter was delicious! masala is mine and my husbands new favourite takeaway! it is even better then shaan on chesterfield road!!!

It was proper nice! Best one in Dronfield! Deffo coming back for more! Delicious! Great service! Great prices!

Found a stone in my food....will not be ordering again!

Great tasting curry dishes, unfortunalty we were given the wrong side dish & didn’t realise until we were dishing up at home which was a shame but there’s things happen - would order from again

The lamb jalfrezi itself was sublime, every thing was well cooked apart from the paratha which was a bit over cooked but in the whole I’d order again.

Good food delivered exactly on time. Would have no hesitation recommending Masala to others.

Absolutely loved the food. Ordered 4 different dishes and didn’t disappoint. Lots of meat in the dishes and will be ordering again soon!!! Thanks 👍

have ordered here a few times now, and they haven’t disappointed! food is amazing, one of the best take aways I’ve ever ordered from, the service/delivery is amazing, and has either been bang on time, or up to 30 mins early! the keema rice is a must try, along with the masala kebab and king kebab, also the king prawn starter is to die for! just wish the portion was bigger!! overall, I would and will recommend this take away to everyone! keep up the good work guys.

Tasty food however delivery can tend to be late. Would recommend.

the best meal we had in ages. the tikka saag pannier was outstanding! definitely recommended

Outstanding food. The butter chicken was the nicest I’ve had. Great quality, generous portions. Delivery driver very friendly.

food was delicious as always and the staff are always very friendly

Tried this takeaway whilst staying at parents. Fantastic food. Very tasty, hot on delivery and quick service. All curries were really good. Naan bread lovely. Will definitely use again

Masala too sweet Lamb Rogan josh not lamb Not enough mint sauce mot wot 18 pound

Delivery was spot on, the food was also really good. I'll be ordering again soon!

great food, fast efficient service, will definitely use again

Friendly staff and great food would highly recommend

I LOVE this indian, it is the best around!!!

First order but the food was lovely, on time and hot. Thank you

The meal was delivered a little late because of bad weather snow , very tasty food as always

Quite honestly the best Indian food I have ever eaten. Original Masala, not the creamy version is just incredible & Tamil Chicken absolutely scrumptious, I dont think its on the current menu but my husbands favourite and they always do it for us. Staff are always lovely and friendly. You would go a long way to beat this food. Its amazing. If you havent tried it already, give it a go.

Been ordering here for years, flawless service every time

very friendly service when I collected the takeaway, lovely food! will order again

First time ordering from this takeaway and are so pleased we did. Food was really hot and arrived on time, it was fresh and tasty, and will definitely use again. Also loved the free poppadum with onions and yoghurt.

We’ve used these guys for ages and think they’re the best place for Indian food in the town (having done extensive research). Always good quality food and friendly, helpful service. The only thing is that they don’t have a card machine which is why we order through just eat sometimes.

Just moved into the area today, and already found a favourite place to order from! The food all tasted amazing, arrived hot and bang on time! The staff seem lovely too, so brilliant service all round! 100% will order again

Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful.

We regularly order from Masala and are always pleasantly surprised with how quick it arrives, the politeness of the deliverers and how delicious the food is! We always recommend this restaurant to others!

Ordered from them a few times, and never had any problems. Food is always good and would recommend to friends.

Very happy with this Indian will order again!

Excellent food, from all parts of the menu, and no complaints with the delivery.

My girlfriend received the menu for this but place through the door yesterday so we thought we'd give it a go. Although it's based in Dronfield we ordered from ChesterfieldWe had the Meat Set Meal for two which is £16.20, we placed the order on their website and also got 10% off.The delivery time stated 21:10, which was 40 minute wait.At 21:00 the door went and our food had arrived nice and early. The delivery driver was very friendly and advised us that they'd thrown a couple of extra bits in becuase we were the first to order on our street.As we unpacked the food there was definitely plenty to fill us up, it was a really good temperature for the distance it had travelled.The food quality itself was fantastic, the main dishes were packed with meat and tomatoes, the sides and sundries were all nice and fresh too. I had Lamb Rogan Josh for my main and the meat was sublime. Easily one of the best LRJs I've ever had. All in all a very pleasant takeaway. The single only negative was that once the order was placed we didn't receive and confirmation email. But I am nit-picking at that.We'll definitely be ordering from here again.

Great food great prices lots of delicious treats on the menu very tasty chicken tikka kebab the best I’ve ever tasted

always on time, food is consistently good, always use these guys
