Food was nice Meal for one person, Chicken tikka masala (no rice) 2 beers, 2 poppadoms, 1 garlic Naan. =£40 I felt it was over priced. There were only a few pieces of chicken cubes so not a big meal.

Sadly the food let's this place down...and that's the only reason to go out for a curry! Change the chef and it would be a fantastic option to dine out in Ilkeston. A real shame...the service is great...the decor is the best I've seen...but the food was pretty poor by comparison to the other two local curry houses.We only went because Radhuni is closed now on a Tuesday night! If there is a sign in the window that says NEW CHEF...give it a go... otherwise avoid it! We had a mixed house special curry that was so salty it was inedible and just tasted like thick bisto gravy the Peshwari Nan had no flavour at all, no sweetness or sultanas...the rice was average, chips were good and the pickle tray was good...! We also had a lamb Rogan Josh and although the flavour was OK I gave up trying to chew the hard blackened lumps of lamb (not tender and slow cooked!!) we also asked for medium to Madras hot and both dishes were very mild!!🤷🏻♂️ Worst curries I've ever been served!

This is my second time in a few days visiting five rivers , and Saturday was the first time we have ever been , and oh my god best decision I ever made! The food is delicious , and incredibly fresh , the staff are fantastic , the main gentleman that has served us both times he is awesome , he can’t do enough for his guests , we normal venture to Nottingham for our Indian meals but not anymore , this is our favourite place now . If you have not been before you must give them a try you will not be disappointed!

Great food, delivered within hour, but dishes in containers delivered in an open plastic bag, so rather cold, so we had to reheat. Could your deliverers be given thermal bags so food stays hot.

Take out king Prawn Bhuna and garlic naan This was not a bhuna. It was bright orange and very watery. The king prawns were tasteless, and had no “bite” just mushy (after months in the freezer??) Naan bread had taste but was as flat as a pancake and “solid” not floofy To be fair, the curry did have taste; good job really… After phoning for collection, the server said that the meal would be ready in 15 minutes. I expect this from chippy, Chinese or pizza but fresh Indian “cuisine”??? It was actually ready after ten minutes… The inside (as a restaurant) looked plain, cold and shabby. Staff however were attentive Erm…I certainly will not be returning

Had bad experience previously but visited again a year or so later. Mains and starters were relatively good and tasty, prices have increased quite a lot recently though, £80 for two people, starters, mains, sides and two drinks each. Service is great and decent enough atmosphere. Probably wouldn't return as the food is not to my personal taste, food is Punjabi inspired based on what I've seen and I prefer Bangladeshi style dishes. Was a pleasant visit and food was good enough.

I felt welcomed at this restaurant. The service was good. The food was really nice. I decided that I wanted some rice after I received a meal. The server was really fast with the rice and this really impressed me. I would just say that the interior could use a bit of love, and the naan could look a bit more presentable - perhaps serving it without cutting it? Also as it was just me, I think it was a bit pricey - at £28. See the pictures for what I bought. I have left as 5 stars because the service was very good and the food was lovely.

Could not fault the food or the service. Great menu, perfectly cooked and well presented by attentive staff. The interior just needs a little love/modernisation, I would highly recommend for a "work meal" or a night with friends, but not necessarily for a first date. With a lick of paint and improved toilets, Five Rivers could easily get a 5 star review.

First time unenrolled ordering food from here, sooo disappointing. Ordered a basic chicken korna, pilau rice and stuffed naan . But got a very watering mess . The korma should be thicker and creamer, but just water. Although from what I could taste, it would have been nice, but the sauce in the korna was that thin, just put everything very wet

Had our first take away tonight, our son been before and said normally ok. It was awful I'm sorry to say, had the lamb tikka main, it stated fillet of lamb, could just about chew it, curry sauce that came with it had no flavour what so ever, our son said same about the balti, lacked in spices, no flavour, chicken saag wala was tasteless, ordered pickle tray and they sent one tub of green watery stuff, biggest waste of £51.50, oh well never again 😒

Ordered from here on justeat after reading some reviews . I spent a little over £35 for two of us . The Mrs loved her food but mine was bloody awful. Garlic mushrooms where in a thick conjealed sauce . My jalfrezi was so watery the entire plate was swamped. Pilau rice was an unusual colour This has got to be the worst curry I've ever eaten

We ordered; Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Tikka Rogan Josh, Pilau Rice, Cheese Nan, Peshwari Naan and some Poppadoms’s. All of the food was of good quality and decent portion size. My personal improvements on the food eaten; is less onions in the Lamb Rogan Josh and Cheese in the Cheese Nan as this seemed to be lacking. Other than these improvements, I was happy overall.
Simon Bailey . 2021-05-07

The Garlic Chilli Chicken didn't have any taste and wasn't a chilli to be seen just watery sauce with onions and chicken, The Chicken Tikka Masala was watery with no taste either, the sauce should have been much thicker not runny like a coloured water, The Bombay Potatoes seemed to be in a Korma like sauce. Was not happy at all with the meal and having a guest over it was embarrassing to give them food which wasn't enjoyed and them leaving hungry. Too late to order something else due to having to wait again and we shouldn't have to. Shame the food wasn't tasted to make sure it was as it should of been. Very disappointed and still very hungry!!!!

The Chicken Madras is excellent, they give you loads of meat and the portion sizes are pretty on the large side. The takeaway meal deals are well priced. I'd definitely recommend and is the best curry house in Ilkeston by a country mile.

Ordered meal for the first time at 8.30 told an hour to hour and half at 10.10 rang to check our order, someone picked up the phone I explained I was ringing about my order and checking how much longer, they didn’t even speak other than ‘hello’ then just passed the phone to someone else, who then said sorry been busy said “they walking out to delivery it now” ! Told 15 mins more max ! 10.30 it arrived barely warm. Two of the meals were identical except one had meat in it but should of been two completely different type of meals! Food average but not as described on menus. Will not order again. Just checked reviews (should of done this before) but seems if you go to the restaurant to eat in you definitely have a better experience but if you order takeaway the reviews are not good. Problem is the people who order may be trying it to see if they want to go for a meal with friends from this amount of customer of care it’s a no from my experience. You need to treat your take away orders with more care and respect and give them the same customer service.
