Jeera in Amber Valley

They called me, claiming to be from Vodafone. It came up as "Jeera", and when I searched the number, it was on their website. This makes me think that the restaurant is a front for scam callers to operate from or something. If they are not a front, then they need to change their number. If they are, then I wouldn't eat their food if someone paid me, since if their food is as good as their ability to pull off a convincing scam, then it can't be very good at all.

Another absolutely delicious delivery - wow

Good all round. Good food, good staff, good selection.

Awful customer service. waited over 2 hours for them to turn up. Rang numerous times on different phones as was ignoring one number, after they answered they proceeded to ignore me whilst still on the phone. Absolutely appalling and still waiting on the refund as the food never even turned up

Probably the nicest Indian restaurant in derbyshire. Staff are extremely friendly, especially mushy, the restaurant is very beautifully and the service was quick. The food was delicious, not one thing I would change. Will definitely be returning soon.

Really enjoy this place, mushy makes us feel so welcomed, always recommend 😃

Really great food, sadly not very busy nowadays so limited staff. Really needs more custom

Excellent food and good service.

Always lovely food, great service and smart restaurant

Booked a table for 4. Greeted as soon as we entered. Staff pleasant and attentive throughout. All the food was delicious 😋

Visitors to the area, staying in nearby Premier Inn and needing somewhere to eat. We visited at 8pm on a Tuesday night and unfortunately there were no other diners so there was no atmosphere, however the food was amazing. Probably one of the best curries I have ever had. Flavoursome and packed with meats, including lamb! (I had a mixed bhuna). My partner had an equally delicious biryani. Portions were good size and if we lived locally we would definitely eat there again.

I ordered a combination of veg and non-veg items. The saag paneer and Bindi were really pathetic in taste and presentation. The saag leaves were served uncooked and uncombined and the Bindi was tasteless and had tons of undercooked clear translucent chunks of onions lying on top of it. The seek kebab looked like a big loaf of red meat with no authentic taste of the traditional sheek kebab. Finally, the starter was served like a curry with burnt meat pieces. Overall, the food is rubbish, is very expensive and I do not recommend their food to anyone.

Love this place, fantastic friendly staff and very good food / value for money, nothing is too much trouble and the whole experience was wonderful. I would feel confident to recommend this restaurant to anyone as I know they would or be disappointed

Lovely night. They made special effort for my partners birthday

Outstanding good curry ! Just walked in and got a table, and also had a special offer on to get a (the second) main for free ! Good service, and good value for money, outstandingly good.

We used to live near and always used the curry house. We decided to go for New Year’s Eve and the food and staff were again great and we had a very enjoyable evening. I always book via email and get a confirmation email from them but twice now, both for this New Year’s Eve and last years that when we turn up they don’t have our booking? It doesn’t fill me with confidence as it’s a busy night. Please look into this.

Excellent food and service.I can highly recommend Jeera. Always a particularly impressive welcome and service from Mushy.

Went for Xmas dinner. Food was lovely, service was second to none, so much better than a house full and a roast

We arrived at 5:35 pm. Yes they where delayed due to traveling issues. But we where seated and then had to wait for them to bring the food and wine menus. But while we were waiting there where Takeaways being sent out. We did say that we had to be out for 7;00pm to go to the Traditional Carol Concert in the Market Place. We had 3 attempts to get a bottle of Red Wine off the wine menu. I then asked if we could order our food but we had to wait to wait again. We then ordered our food and the only thing we can say is that the food was perfect.

Food was very nice but quite pricy. Delivery driver didn’t read the instructions unfortunately so had to find him down the road.

Picked up a takeaway for a large party. There were no issues ordering such a large amount, the food was ready on time and tasted great.

Nice restaurant,good service,great food.

This is a nice clean,well laid out restaurant.The staff are friendly helpful, and efficient.The restaurant is licensed which I personally like with the drinks not to expensive.The service is good and the food delicious.Plenty of off street car parking only a stones throw away.All in all a nice experience.

Beautiful restaurant and nice meals with a perfect service

I was so surprised I was not expecting this to be as nice as it was. The restaurant itself has such a gorgeous vibe, the waiters were so polite. However service was slow, we were waiting a while for our dinner & drinks. However the food was incredible so much nicer than other Indian restaurants I’ve been to. High quality! Definatly will be returning.

Ammonia smelling Chicken pieces spelled. I was amazed I didn't get ill.

Popped in early, had a delicious meal. Chicken balti and a chicken tikka masala with rice and garlic and coriander naan. Corba lager on draft. Couldn’t fault a thing. Staff friendly too.

Great tasting food and definitely worth a visit

Fabulous food, great service, lovely restaurant. Recommended

Went with 17 people food was very nice we had pre ordered in advance but the service was excellent starters all came out at the same time so did the mains so no-one had to wait for their meals will be back

Fabulous food as always. Constantly good and the best Indian in my area. I use Jeera as my mrasure of other Indian restaurants and they never come close!

Superb. I prefer seafood-needs to expand on this area. Beatiful as is though.

Always great food and friendly service.

Very polite staff , very tasty food

Tried them for the first time this evening. We had a takeaway delivered. The Biriyani mix was really delicious. We also had chicken bhuna, Peshwari naan, saag aloo and some other bits. We enjoyed every dish we tried. They were fresh, the meat was cooked well and was very tender. The peshwari naan was huge. We will definitely order from here again.

Always great food and friendly staff.

Not a patch on the one at Crich! I had the Makhani and it tasted like tomato purée and had millions of onions in it. My husband had a Balti and had no flavour or spice to it. All Edible, but as I say the one at Crich is better, the main reason we chose to come to this one.

Always have an excellent experience here.

Had not visited since the pandemic, glad that this restaurant survives and is as delicious and hospitable as ever. Thanks for a great evening and my best wishes to you during these economic struggles for the industry.

Just served online orders didn't bother with the customers in

Excellent food and service, the food was delicious and not greasy at all. The atmosphere only got a 4-star review as we ate early and the restaurant was empty.

Food good but lacked that personal touch from waiters.

We’ve had several Jeera takeaways and also eaton in and all of it has been exceptional! Food is incredible and would 100% recommend!

We live in the area and have eaten in the restaurant a dozen times in the last year or so. Always consistent, nice food and service, food is always hot, fresh and portions are good.

Amazing. Literally best Indian about! Service is fantastic aswell. 10/10

Myself and my partner had a lovely curry this evening; chicken tikka rogan Josh, chicken tikka Jalfrezi, quarter chicken, starter platter and much more and everything was absolutely gorgeous! We haven’t long moved into our new house and it’s been amazing finding this hidden gem! We can’t wait to visit in person! Great value for money!

Jeera is a lovely restaurant in the middle of Codnor, the only non-takeaway that offers South Asian cuisine in the village. That isn't to say that you can't get a really good takeaway from Jeera. You can. On fact I saw quite a few delivery drivers coming and going with bags full of delicious food. The food we enjoyed during out dining experience was lovely. Paneer Shashlik and Chicken Chaat made up our starters and these were exceptional. The chaat in particular was really enjoyable, as I have never had it before and it was a very pleasant new experience - one I shall be repeating on my next visit to Jeera. A prawn korma and a chicken tikka shashlik follwed as main course and these, like the starters were exceptional. The portions were massive and we struggled (and ultimately failed) to complete our meal, much to my chagrin the next day, when I would have given anything to have that food sat in front of me. The prawns in the korma (a type of curry that does NOT feature on their menu, but can be asked for) were the size of pillows and the accompanying sauce was perfect for someone like myself that cannot handle any real spice/heat. The chicken tikka shashlik looked great too and I was assured that it was. The staff are lovely and it is great to see young people from the immediate locality being employed there. Jeera has been going since 2005 I believe, and ultimately you do not survive that long in that industry unless you are doing something right, and these guys are definitely doing plenty right. Give them a go and I am confident you will not leave disaapointed.

10 of us went for grandsons 8th birthday as he has been here before and enjoyed it very much. Food came out to us all at the same time . Beautifully served. Staff attentive . Food all good . If I could recommend one thing it would be please improve your toilets they need bring up to date and I couldn't use the disabled toilet as lock broken and would not stay closed. Would however return again. Thank you .

Excellent service from the young waitress and mushy!! Great environment and the food was amazing, reasonable prices

Great restaurant, always serve great food. They have an app for ordering now as well. Always happy with the meal at this wonderful place.

A lovely Indian restaurant we were there with family the staff were very attentive and were great with the children. The food is of good quality and well presented. They do a little trick with dry ice that the kids love. Well worth a visit

This place is OK, no more no less. A restaurant that is tailored to the western pallete maybe - the food wasn't bad but I've been to better curry places in Nottingham that sell much nicer curries at the same price. However the service was good and restaurant clean, so 3 stars.

Fantastic food, great service and a fair price

Very nice restaurant and staff. Food is beautiful. We eat out often and this place is one of our favourites

One of the best curry houses iv had the privilege to dine at. Nothing is too much trouble, the food is remarkable, service is outstanding and hopefully youll have a young man named Dibbo looking after you. He will talk you through the menu, make excellent recommendations and basically treat you like youre the only ones in there. Top bloke and he makes the experience an absolute joy. He should get a pay rise as well as the chef. If you get the chance, pay them a visit. You wont regret it.

Simply excellent! Been several times over the years with the family. Very friendly staff and exquisite cooking - we can't wait to go back again. Well done to all involved - cracking!

A very enjoyable meal, excellent friendly staff and venue, will be visiting again soon. Thank you 😊

This place give the best food and the waiter mushi and dibbo are amazing hard to pick which ones better.

Beautiful meal, friendly staff and excellent value for money! Check it out people!

We’ve been coming here since Jeera opened around 20 years ago. Never a bad meal. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who are happy to recommend and adapt meals to suit. We love both eating here and having takeouts. Dining in the restaurant tonight. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you for another great meal.

Best curry ever! Been coming here for years. Thanks Mushi for the best floater coffee too x

I would like to say a massive thank you to both Mushy and Dibbo for their first class servcie, making my partners 41st birthday one to remember. The food was just perfect with so much love and passion. Such a generous portions and very reasonably priced. As soon as we walked I, Dibbo remembered it was my partner's birthday and made a massive fuss of him. He was so kind and sweet and made us most welcome. What I thought was so adorable was that he added in a free dish that we had been looking at as we couldn't make up our minds with what to have. He also at the end gave us a tia Maria shot with cream on top for pudding, again another freebie. What an absolute sweet man to make it so very special. We would certainly dine there again as I really couldn't fault it. More than happy with the birthday meal. Thanks again to both Mushy, Dibbo and the team. Your restaurant is just lovely with fabulous food and top service. Love love love. Thank you from both Alicia and Bruce 😄

The food at jeera is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I highly recommend this place.

Best Indian restaurant in Nottingham Derby border. They also provide a brilliant take away service!

Takeaways are a nightmare. Consistently forget items and the quality is inconsistent at best. It became an in joke “hope it’s a good one tonight”. Got to the point where things were forgotten or incorrect on every order. Lost count how many times I’ve had to drive back with an incomplete order or a meat based meal for a vegetarian. Thankfully we discovered Khatmandu in Ripley and haven’t looked back.

Lovely clean place and lovely food mushy was really helpful and recommended some tasty dishes, definitely will be back again

The food is really good and not too pricy, unfortunately you will have to buy your rice separate from the actual curry you pick, which in my honest opinion is ridiculous, the jalai curry that was brought is probably the best one they serve, it's made with a sweet mint yogurt and has plenty of flavor, plain boiled rice compliments this dish really well. Pickled onions on top give it that extra crunch. The tandoori chicken was well cooked, on the dry side for my preference. The venue is well laid out and has a very friendly and professional atmosphere. As I didn't eat in I can't comment on the quality of the service. But from the looks of things I would expect a high standard. I would recommend this place for a quiet night. Maybe a romantic dinner.

Went here on saturday, the meal was beyond amazing! Loved the presentation and Atmosphere, the dry ice on the table was lovely. Staff were also lovely, i was particularly impressed by the young girl working there, very attentive, friendly and lovely to chat too… Will 100% be travelling back to Jeera again. 10/10

Delicious food, great service. Lovely surroundings. Hadn't been for a long time, but just as good as we remembered. Hope to go again very soon!

A better lay out of the tables, as it was a quiet night, the service was a bit slow, from ordering the drinks to actual ordering the meal. But the meals were very tasty.

Great food, Fantastic service and the staff outstanding. There will definitely be a return visit 😊

I forgot why I stopped going here last time 🤦🏻‍♂️ Take away meal for two Chicken tasted old Popadoms limp Curry watery Just tasted old and not fresh in the slightest Last time I’ll be using Jeera which is a shame because years ago it was the best place for miles Up your game!!

What a lovely place to eat. Really warm and friendly staff, clean and well the food was amazing. Thank you 😊

Absolutely perfect tonight, thanks folks will be back soon for more perfect food, Thanks Azim you always make us feel special

Our local take away. Decent food and even better sitting in. Good prices, friendly staff and tasty food. Always order from here when we have guests.

Excellent food, service and ambience. Five stars fully deserved

Tia was an absolute darling, couldn’t have asked for a better waitress 😘

A nice setting, attentive staff and good authentic food.

It was a wonderful place to come in and eat, the staff was friendly. Best place you’ve eaten this year. Thanks Mushi

I loved Dibbos service. He was a gentleman.

Best curry I've had in a long time! Mushy was on reception/bar and was very friendly and welcoming and also served our food at our table in a very professional manner. The atmosphere was relaxed and made us feel comfortable and welcome. Well done team, will definitely return soon!

We strolled into Jeera, a group of 5 members of The Curry Club return for a fortnightly Indian cuisine critique, filled with booze and fantastic service. We sat at the table, a purple ambience surrounded us as we gazed into the large yet simple menu that Jeera had to offer; we all wanted a starter, not without poppadoms first. The poppadoms were accompanied by some fantastic sauces and mixed onion/spicy dishes. We ordered our starters and sat patiently in anticipation for the imminent beauty that was heading towards our taste buds. The starters were absolutely divine; onions and peppers galore baby. The only critique we have on the starter is that there wasn’t more. Mains time, so listen up. We’ve had multiple from here, I’m talking Bengal Ghost, Chicken Sizzler, Imli Sil Sila, Desi Lamb, you name it, we’ve eaten it. All unbelievable, an authentic taste you can only get from the most seasoned Indian chefs. Not only that, the sundries, (rice and naan to you amateurs) were also fantastic. Very fine rice, individual grains of joy, and the naan breads were muchos goodos, fresh as you like, and we particularly recommend the cheese and keema naan. It’s not on the menu but when you’ve got this much clout we can pretty much get anything. Prices were very very good and very very cheap, 125 times more expensive than a £1 fish, for 5 of us with multiple courses and multiple drinks, (RIP Adam, a long time sufferer of alcoholism)and overall we would have collectively paid more. Fantastic. Would return. Food hygiene rating through the roof too. What’s not to love?!

Excellent food. Great service. Thankyou

We’ve been on several occasions and also ordered takeaway. We’ve never had a bad meal and the service is always great. Tonight’s visit was great as usual!

Booked our usual monthly table for Saturday night. Can not fault Jeera Codnor. The flood is absolutely amazing, service is exemplary from all the staff and overall the restaurant is perfect. The menu is excellent and has a great choice. Would definitely recommend to any curry lover.

Our favourite place for a curry! Glad to be back dining in after having regular takeaways. The service is always good and the portion sizes are great. The food is to die for, especially the peshwari naan bread!

Lovely service Little waiting time Great food

Order three curry’s with my two housemates and all three were totally tasteless and bland not one of us had more than half of the plate, the only thing was taste was the special naan which was burnt so also inedible. Will never be ordering...

I have never eaten a meal that has made me never want to eat again until today. I can’t even believe how little taste there was to my curry. It tasted the same as my plain Nan. I thought it was just mine and my...

used the takeaway 3 or 4 times. overpriced and inaccurate. small portions. won't be using them again

Having just moved to the area we thought we’d try the local Indian restaurant, rather than our usual in Ripley. Firstly we were taken back by the cost!! Most we’ve paid in this area, so we were expecting good things. Sadly we were left disappointed,...

Very nice & staff couldn't do enough.

First time visited , very impressed with food , hospitality and Covid safety. The staff were really helpful and polite , the atmosphere was lovely and the food really was out of this world . I can’t wait to go back again . Well worth...

We called here on the way home from our day out. The staff were Very friendly and professional, we was seating straight away and the food was delicious, had very well organized covid measures in place too. Definitely recommend 😋

Lovely meal very tasty first time takeaway here staff very polite will definitely return

The food here is absolutely fantastic. We often get a takeaway, but when we eat in we’ve always been impressed with the staff and service.

Food is excellent. Very busy, even with less tables.

The worst Indian food we have ever eaten . Totally tasteless and bland . I’ve eaten spicier breakfast cereal !. We ordered hot spicy food as this is what we love but this was just awful. So glad we are not local and never have...

We ate at Jeera last night. COVID-19 rules were hardly evident, no ppe and no idea from the young waiters. Starters took 1 1/4 hours, but were ok. I had one of the special chicken meals. It was barely warm, think the chicken was pre cooked and dry, then added to an ordinary sauce. Rice was over cooked and just served in a bowl with little thought or effort. Nan was fine. Overall, very poor which is a real shame as have have lovely food here before.

Great food and plenty if it, free parking out front, good staff, clean.
