Jaipur curry house in South Derbyshire

Absolutely excellent food , I've three closer Indian restaurants, which I do try occasionally but there's no better than the Jaipur. 1st class food

Regulars, most Friday nights, we try others, more expensive, further away and always return. Always looked after, food is consistent and they will cook anything for you. The Sally is a one off kids love it , will leave for your imagination! Excellent 40th last night !

Well, that was a treat! We haven't been here for quite a while and ventured out on a very soggy night to be rewarded with a feast. We were well looked after by Mr Khan and waiter, Dola, who is very good value. We had chana puree and tandoori prawn to start, followed by lamb sag balti, chicken shashlik and a salmon dhansak, made specially for us. Each dish had its own distict flavour with complex spicing with top quality meat/fish. Many similar restaurants use a heavy, oily tomato base with huge, barely cooked chunks of onion, but not Jaipur. The sauces were both thoroughly reduced and rich in flavour. We left nothing! Thank you to all of you, but especially the chef, who is exceptionally talented. We won't wait so long to visit you again.

We had a selection of different curries, all of which were faultless. The tandoori chicken Chana Palak was particularly tasty. They were packed full of authentic flavour and didn’t leave you feeling horrendously full. Definitely one to visit if in Repton. The only slight negative is the restaurant could do with a decor update, but it is not tatty, and the staff are all friendly.

I know TripAdvisor and other review sites are not the be all and end all, but every time I eat at Jaipur I wonder why it’s not busier and why there are so few reviews on TA. I have been eating here ever since it began trading as Jaipur and I have to say it has rarely disappointed. Yes, it could do with modernising decor wise, but the food on my most recent visit was excellent. I live in Repton so there is a convenience aspect to my like of it, but I would say it is well worth visiting if you live within 5 miles or so. Head and shoulders above Anoki on the A38.

Always deliver excellent food. If you eat in or takeaway the standard is the same and you cannot fault it. The staff are like friends and you feel at ease. We always take extra curries away to freeze with not living close and they are amazing.

Visit here twice, maybe 3 times a year and never had an issue. Staff friendly and genuine, cosy dining atmosphere and good range of options on the menu. The food is faultless; excellent quality, decent portion sizes and at a very reasonable price.

My partner went to pick up a takeaway for us yesterday evening and we were both disappointed with it. He had garlic rice and naan, the naan was fine but the rice had very big chunks of garlic in rather that crushed garlic, his curry was a lamb tikka methi which would usually be a lovely dark green but this was much paler and his description was that ‘it tastes of something but I’m not sure what’. I had coriander naan and mushroom rice which were both ok, my curry was lamb tikka jalfrezi which had large chunks of onion and tomato which I didn’t mind so much but it was swimming in oil and had no heat to it at all. I ate the meat and I’m afraid the rest went in the bin and I’m a real curry lover. It was the first meal we’ve had from there but also the last. A much better meal to be had in Willington at Waters Edge or Nadee at Findern.

Always go there. Never had a bad meal yet. It is the best curry house around. Excellent friendly staff and always produce excellent food.

I’ve ate from there a few times as it’s local to me but I will not be going back there again unpleasant staff average over priced food not worth going to.

One of the worst curries we've ever eaten. Prawns are not fresh and I hope they don't result in food poisonin. I called to complain and tell them I need a refund and was given a pile of excuses. Utter crap

Recommended in a local bar, the Jaipur proved to be excellent. The menu was unusual in that it contained many dishes that we had not seen anywhere else

Cannot reiterate enough how Jaipur Repton never fail to impress to eat in and take out. Great food, great service and very good value for money.

Fantastic food, great service. The staff couldn’t have been better. Lovely meal. Will definitely be back :-)

Had a takeaway and was absolutely amazing. The staff were very pleasant and the curry was fantastic. Cannot speak highly enough, definite recommend.

We live not 50 feet from here so have tried most dishes and we have never been disappointed, great food, great service and not expensive

Disappointed from start to finish but didn’t want to make fuss as first date To start building warm heating on but needs few more degrees Service was attentive but to much Presentation of food and sauces poor Main meal plated behind me Side dishes small and over priced Basically meal and drinks all over priced Won’t be going back If this had not been first date would not of paid for certain items Be wary when you visit

I would agree the food is ok/average, however there are not that many decent placed to eat curry in the area so its well frequented. Three of us went for dinner there last week, Daal starter a bit thin although we asked for it to be thick with extra garlic, two of the mains very similar in colour (bright red) and taste. I had the Lamb Sally...interesting, average curry under a large dome of thinly cut potato crispy chips. Wont go for that again. Staff pleasant enough, slightly overpriced for the quality of the food.

Staff lovely - always welcomed like family. The food is to die for every time. I recommend trying something different like the 'sally' which you wouldn't find elsewhere. It isn't fine dining and yes the decor would benefit from a bit of an update but we have never had a bad meal here and would absolutely recommend to those looking for a slap up curry!

Everything was fine, OK food, OK service, nothing to complain about, but just your typical Indian restaurant.

Really good food for our first takeaway from here and the service was exceptional. Place was packed on a Saturday. Will return.

Great location for a quality curry dish. There is a large variety of options. Recommend the lamb shank.

Ate here last weekend with some friends. The food and service was ok, just ok. Very expensive for what I got.

Excellent selection of dishes, very good levels of service. The place is very clean and well presented staff add to the overall pleasant experience. Reasonably priced and all our food was top notch.

Booked ten days ago as special birthday for my niece. Called in Friday 8th Feb to discuss table and special arrangements and the fact that her fathers funeral had just taken place. Staff didn't seem very interested, which was proven on the next day when the service was terrible. We were a table of 6, prebooked and checked, we arrived five minutes before booking time, table was ready yet we weren't shown to table. Two people were sitting at our table waiting for their takeaway. We waited 45 minutes before we asked if we could order both food and drinks....we had to ask for everything and why? Because the take-away business was more important. We waited ages for our food...in fact my niece had to make a comment to one of the waiters about the long wait and lo and behold the food appeared!!! Staff not friendly and certainly will not be recommending as we do visit many Indian restaurants.

Walked in 6.30 on a Friday, 2 tables seated. Table for 4 I declare!

Went with my partner, on arrival we were greeted by friendly staff and were escorted to our table.

On first appearance it's not great it made me want to check my cutlery was clean... Definitely needs a revamp decor is dismal and dirty looking. Cutlery looks battered.

As a regular diner at the Jaipur I am familiar with the excellent food, but last night the Stuffed Pepper (chicken) was a new style and it was the BEST stuffed pepper I have ever tasted!!!

Staying nearby we gave this place a go. Nice friendly waiters, good food, portions are on the large size so we did leave quite a bit of our main courses but only because we were full. Should have missed out on the starters! Lamb and chicken dishes were delicious as was the freshly cooked bread. Wine was good and very reasonable price. Only negative was the ugly entrance. We did try to go through the beautiful glass main door that is locked off so having to enter the place through a scruffy side door does not make a welcoming entrance. Yes, the carpets could do with a deep clean but I've seen far worse. Finally the desserts were frozen ready puddings, why no kulfi?

The foods ok, we had a variety of different dishes and it’s what you’d expect with a few more interesting ones as well.

Always accommodate , brilliant food friendly staff. Great atmosphere , reasonable prices too. Personally I think there’s No comparison to its other local Indian restaurants .

As much as I really like the staff here, the food is always lacking. The curries are very 'samey' and have the same base taste, red in colour, overly sweet and lacking spices and flavour.

My husband mother and I visited as a birthday celebration meal. As usual each curry had its own distinctive flavour and all three were wonderful. Portion size perfect. Service very friendly and atmosphere was nice. No loud music. I would highly recommend this place for its cooking, service and value.

We have been looking forward to eating here . We went along with friends who had eaten here before. First off there is no parking . The place is dismal,the greeting was ok but they knew our friends. The food was not to our liking ,we told the waiter how we would like our food,might as well have talked to the wall. The staff are miserable no eye contact ,during the meal I observed one of the waiters drop a handful of cutlery onto a diners table, no apology,given . We were dissatisfied with the meal and the service . It made us uncomfortable to complain because of our fiends. One decision we did make was . We will not revisit

My second visit here & it won’t be the last. There were 18 of us in total & they coped admirably considering how full the rest of the restaurant was. The food was very tasty and the staff looked after our party well. Not the cheapest but I don’t mind when the quality is there.

Visited a few months ago, food was great, service was exceptional, couldn't fault a thing. Much better than Kinara! Will definitely return and recommend to a friend!!

Was introduced to Jaipur just over a month ago and have been back twice since.

we have visited this restaurant many times and the food is first class and value for money.

We went as a party of 4 on a Friday evening.

Me and my boyfriend visit every couple of months or so and we go with his family for birthdays. We also order it to take out on the odd occasion and never had a bad experience with either. The service is always second to none and the staff can never do enough for you. The quality has remained the same every time which is an amazing feat in itself. Thank you for another lovely meal :-)

This was a cracking meal with friends. Extremely tasty and fairly priced for Indian restaurants in the area.

Consistently excellent service and an unbeatable menu.

Excelente comida y servicio para lo que creía que era muy buena relación calidad-precio. He estado varias veces y regresaremos de nuevo

Tuvimos una comida excelente el viernes pasado. La comida era de primera categoría, como siempre. Probamos un nuevo plato llamado "Sally". La única queja era el tamaño del plato era enorme. Mi marido tenía un obi, que era igual de reconstruiré deliciosa. Volveremos pronto.

I have eaten at Jaipur now the last four times I have been in Derby/Ashby de-la-Zouch area on business. The food is consistently good with huge selection across all styles of Indian to anyone's taste - from mild to very spicy. Staff is very friendly, prompt and accommodating to everyone's needs.

Really enjoyed my visit here. The food and service were brilliant and I'd definitely go back. Highly recommended!

Loved the food and service. Was made very welcome. Will definitely be going bvack again and would recommend it to anyone.

we had a great night and the curry was lovely , the staff are very friendly and helpful ,well worth a visit

Monday night is not usually a nightout but last night was a last minute.com evening meal at the Jaipur, in Repton. Plenty of tables available and great choice on the menu. It's very busy st weekends best to book. We have been before, always helpful and quick service. Another great Indian restaurant. we are spoilt for choice. We have had takeaway too which is always good.

Excellent service, attentive but not over powering staff. Good choice of food on the menu. Lovely food!

The service is always welcoming and the food mouth watering. I am salivating writing this review. Every dish contains quality ingredients with a depth of flavour second to none. The amount of times I have heard people talk about the new restaurant in the neighbouring village and finish the sentence with, 'but I prefer Jaipur'!

We've been going to Jaipur for years. The service is always good, the food is always spot on. Reasonable prices. Best Curry house in teh area.

Great to visit with friend back in the region from abroad- treated well by serving staff who always look to you for maximum enjoyment of your visit. Foods as always good and the staples are well served and presented. A comfortable jacket that you slip into.

The chicken tikka masala was excellent. very creamy with lovely tomato flavours. the naan breads were dry and flavourless. rice was fine. some complimentary poppudoms are always a nice touch so maybe they should think about adding them to their orders.however it wasn't expensive and my partner loved his lamb dish so all in all a good curry and we would definitely get a takeout from there again.

Writing this review little bit late but yea had to get it done. Well the food was okay'ish but definitely not that level what you expect from a curry house. Service was good. Not going back.

I go to the Jaipur a couple of times a month; with friends, family and for takeaway. Food is consistently excellent and the guys always look after us very well. Pricing is reasonable for good quality curry.

Our group of six had eaten here many years ago, and it was an ideal choice for a celebratory meal. We booked, arrived on time and were shown to our table. The menus were extensive and varied from usual Indian restaurants and I chose some courses that I had not seen before. Over drinks and poppadoms I looked forward to my starter and main. My first course was a bit like a scotch egg with an omelette on. Very different and tasty. My main course was a lovely vegetable curry with a fresh naan. I had two pints of Cobra to accompany it all. Over the hour the restaurant filled up, though they left us happily chatting and never rushed us with bills or table clearing. We all agreed we had had a great night.

Have now been twice in the last month or so as the food was beautiful.We asked the very friendly staff to recommend three dishes and the dishes we had were lovely.The food beautifully cooked the staff very pleasant and helpful. Not a long wait for food at all and the restaurant itself was lovely to.Can't wait to returnThank you x

Always good quality food cooked really well. Staff very efficient and helpful. Best Indian I have eaten (so far!).

Ten years ago we walked into this restaurant late at night after running for eight miles and in need of a good curry.It was late, approximately ten o'clock and we were famished. The person who greeted us was friendly and led us to a table and took our order. I think they were about to close but nothing was too much trouble. The meal was fresh and the flavours perfect.Last night we walked into the Jaipur after a pre-booking. The same man greeted us. Obviously he didn't remember who we were, but yet again the friendliness and food were perfect.I can thoroughly recommend the house specialities and the Okra side dish. Everything was immaculate, from the linen tablecloths and napkins, to the real flowers and decor, not to mention the service which was discreet and with attention to detail.It was a busy evening but we were treated as if we were the only customers just like ten years ago.

This was our first visit to this restaurant and we will visit again. Very nice and pleasant evening out.

I used to live locally to this curry house, which unfortunately for the diet meant an almost weekly visit to this restaurant. Everything about the place from the service, the food and everything in between is just excellent. The curry is always delicious, full of chicken and never too greasy. I can honestly say that there is not a better place in Derby. having now moved over 15 miles away, it is still the only place we will go to get a takeaway. no matter where we try nothing is as good. The prices are competitive, the wait for food never too long. Everything is piping hot on delivery and the staff cannot be more helpful if they tried. I will continue to visit for a long time, please never change!

Went to jaipur with 4 friends, food was exceptional best jalfreiezi I have had.The waiters were great and were very pleasant even as we were the last to leaveWell worth a visit.

Taken here as a treat by good friends and the evening was relaxing, refreshing and flavour filled.Staff are attentive and aim to please, serving many dishes with attention to detail without being over priced.

Went to Jaipur on a Sunday evening with family to enjoy a curry. Restaurant wasn't too crowded and the atmosphere was brilliant, waiters very attentive and friendly. Food was amazing, cooked to perfection and I would highly recommend the Nargis Kebab as a starter. I have never eaten a curry before this, and I chose the Chicken Korma, which was absolutely amazing. Well worth the price payed.Overall, the food was brilliant, with attentive and polite staff, we were made to feel very welcome. Also, I must add that when we left, all the staff shook hands with us and saw us out of the door, which added to the pleasure of the experience. Would definitely recommend, and we will definitely be visiting again soon.

This location has been a number of restaurants, none of which lasted however Jaipur seems to have stood the test of time and continues to serve up freshly made and interesting dishes for reasonable money. The staff are very knowledgable about the food for those who are inclined to enquirer.Whilst it's not the best in the world it's probably the best in Derby and far better than the couple of high end rip off places that are so up themselves!!I've noticed a couple of mixed reviews for this place and can only presume the diners are more used to the frozen mush that gets served up on the 'Curry Mile'???This place is good so don't be shy.

The food was fine, although a little greasy. Very nice naan breads and the lamb bhuna was OK. The waiter was very attentive. But something was missing. The decor was a little dated and the food not as good as expected.

First time here. Really spoilt in Nottingham with great places for curry and the Jaipur lived up to anywhere I've been before. Friendly service, good food, good prices, well worth a visit. It gets busy though, so advise book a table. Take away gets a discount price as well, so all good. We'll return soon.

Popped in here for a a early evening meal. Was really not expecting that much but thankfully the place surprise me. Although the food is obviously Anglocised it is a notch above the bog standard curry houses that you find all over the country.The specials really make the place.

great for take aways and to eat in. Very good staff. The food is generally good, but never bad or great. It's reasonably priced and worth a try.

Wonderful staff and food to die for. Gets very busy so you really need to book. Service is excellent one of the best curry houses i ever been to.

First time we have dined here but it won't be the last, the atmosphere was buzzing, the staff all very friendly and helpful, well priced and very good food, and yes a proper nan bread Will be going again

Excellent indian food, usual wide selection but also chef's specials.Excellent service with very friendly staff.Good take-away as wellCobra on draught

Lovely food with a good atmostphere staff are friendly and the service is good also, parking can sometimes be tricky but overall very good

Attended here for first time on a Saturday evening, the restaurant was very busy. Staff were very pleasant and quick to deal with our group of four. Food was excellent, didn't have starters but main course only. My lamb curry was very tender and all food well presented. Reasonably priced and I would return if in the area.

Went with friends, all had similar dishes none of us thought much of them, staff were quite rude and we ended up getting charged £9 for popadoms £9?!?!

This restaurant was such a good find. My husband and I were staying at The Boot for new years eve and were lucky enough to be able to reserve a table for 9.00pm here. I chose the Lamb tikka sagwala with stuffed paratha and my husband chose the jalfrezi with chapattis and rice. We weren't disappointed...This is by far one of the best Indian cuisines that we've eaten, yet (and we've sampled quite a few over the years). Our only negative comment is regarding the portion sizes, they're rather large, even when you're really hungry!A big thank you to everyone!Maria & John :) :)

One man's meat is another man's poison, but to my mind the recent 1 star reviews seem unduly harsh. I have eaten at Jaipur for many years and have rarely been disappointed. The food is very good (and I do know my curries) and the service generally excellent for this class of restaurant. I thoroughly recommend it.

The interior is tiered and dark the staff rush you even though it was half empty on a week night the food was greasy & bland and the waiter knocked a full glass of red wine all over the table & my partners main course & Naan bread also all over my food to busy rushing around The food was replaced by more bland food in all repton is a nice place but the jaipur does not rise to the location which it's at so it isn't worth traveling toVery disappointed

Dismal lighting. Starters ok. Chose restaurant due to interesting menu. Don't bother if you know the difference between a garam masala spice blend and a masala sauce. Both our mains were nothing like their description on menu and were just red red red. Maybe they only made one sauce tonight. When I enquires with the waiter to explain I had ordered what I thought would be a milder dish due to stomach condition he was rude and tried to blame me for misunderstanding the menu. Explaining I couldn't have anything bland there and that plain rice was different to pilau oh yes and that basically chicken nawabi is actually just chicken tikka masala in disguise. Patronising rude and actually don't care what they serve as long as you pay the £25 per head price tag ( that was with lime & soda & tap water) don't insult my knowledge of curry. I've travelled round India and know an establishment that just doesn't care when I see it. A birthday night out ruined.

We have eaten at Jaipur on many occasions and the last visit with family a few weeks ago to celebrate my 60th birthday was no exception. The food is always excellent, we tend to have the "specials" and service is always spot on. If there was only one go to Indian Restaurant, this is definitely the one for us.

My friend and I visited Recently, we hadn't booked but were quickly shown to a table by a polite and friendly waiter. The menu hasn't changed since my last visit but it doesn't have to as it offers lots of options. Both my friend and I opted for a main dish called a "Sally", he had chicken and I had lamb, I have to say it is quite possibly one of the best Indian dishes I've ever tasted. I recommend that should you visit then you try this dish! Starters were also quality and a very nice pint of cobra! Staff attentive and polite, really can't fault this place and won't leave it so long until I return again.

Food is great, spicy, but not hot. Quality ingredients. We regularly order takeaways, and when we have chance we eat here in the restaurant. The Chicken Tikka Pathia is fantastic.

I have eaten here many times and the restaurant has always been great, great food and great service. However, I sometimes use the takeaway service. The food is always great.Consistently the takeaway is a disappointment because there is nearly always something missing from the order. Once there were no pickles with the poppadoms, despite paying for them. On another occasion there was only one nan bread when three were ordered and paid for. Tonight there was no vegetable curry that was paid for, three plain nan were ordered but only one was provided, the other two were peshwari nan.I cannot remember the last time the takeaway order taken home was what was ordered, the problem being that items that were paid for were not provided. As a result I have decided I will not use this restaurant again, which I feel sad about. I would advise that you should not use the takeaway service with any confidence.If I write a review like this then I should put my name to it.Michael Griffiths MelbourneDerbyshire

I've been here twice now and although it's a good 30 min drive for us... It's well worth the drive! The staff have excellent customer service. The food is presented beautifully and the taste is amazing!

Really delicious food, very friendly staff, comfy surroundings, I had chicken tikka masala, mushroom rice, Bombay potatoes

We use this curry house fairly often, and are always very pleased with our food. However I do feel they could do a little better on presentation. The interior does need a refurbish,it is a little tired looking. But on the whole good food,good wine/beer,and very attentive friendly staff.

The Indian food was as good as anywhere I have been. the staff we're quite helpful and prompt. one of our quest does not eat Indian, so chose a medium steak ,unfortunately this was that tough he could not eat it. they also don't have steak knifes?. When asked if everything was ok, he replied that the steak was to tough to eat. There reply being its a Indian restaurant and steak cooking wasn't there thing. Our reply being, if you can't cook it don't put it on the menu. And yes we refused to pay for it. would I go again.not by choice.

Food was great. Service was prompt and informative.The restaurant needs a refurb. The interior decor is drab and the other exterior is positively 70's...But. We're here for the food. Good standard!The waiter was particularly conscious to point out the hazards of the warm plates and piping hot Karai.... (No ambulance chasers will make a living here)...

quite a run down interior. usual numerous dishes on the menu which all seem to taste the same. Would much rather have fewer choices of better quality

Have been to the Jaipur many times and also enjoyed many tasty takeaways as a local resident. This isn't the cheapest curry house around but the food is always excellent, there are some good fish dishes and the specials menu always has a variety of good choices. Good, friendly service, and a good night out whether with family or friends.

Excellent choice of beautifully prepared food. The staff are helpful and will suggest and adapt their varied dishes to your taste. Customers are remembered and welcomed on their return visits. We love the good food and good service.

Food is quality is very good, staff attentive and efficient. Nice ambience. Nothing not to like; would recommend.

We use this restaurant on a regular basis and have done so for the past four years. We really love the atmosphere and the food is extremely good. The service is excellent and nothing is too much trouble they cooked my husband a mixed tandoori koria which wasn't on the menu he thoroughly enjoyed it. I had Chicken tikka with salad and mint yogurt the chapatti was gorgeous and nan bread superb. It's the best draught Cobra I've had a really wonderful lager. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Japuir

Having not been for a long time we've started using again in the last few months and have to say it's been good every time and last nights take away was no different.

Lovely food - never disappointed. Chicken Tikka Saagwala always devine! Friendly staff. Only criticism is that it is expensive for a local takeaway. Could do meal deals.

Very impressed with the eating environment, which was relaxed and open (tables aren't crammed into the room). We were greeted by the friendly and warm staff and quickly served. I could go on about the food but it's easier to say it was all top notch! The best bit was the fact you could share a laugh with the staff!

My partner and I were staying in Repton at "The Boot". We couldn't get a table at inn so decided to try "Jaipur" curry house.I must say that the food was very good and well flavoured. We have had a few Indian meals in out time and although the restaurant itself was not best the food and friendly staff made up for it. Give it a try!

The Jaipur never let us down and serve consistently brilliant food. We have been going regularly for years and always receive a warm welcome. We visit for every family birthday and my daughters 18th will be no exception.
