Used to order almost weekly but since they've changed hands, the food was unappetising, extremely disappointing. I'd love to know where has the previous owner & staff moved to.

REALLY let down and disappointed by this restaurant. Our booking for June 2023 was cancelled as we were told they were having alterations done. However, there are no notices to this effect on the door and it looks completely closed down. If this is the case, why haven't they made this known, instead of letting it appear online that they are still trading, even giving 'opening' times!! We used to love going there as it was an excellent restaurant but they obviously don't care about their customers, past or future.

I would strongly suggest you take a visit to this restaurant. If you really want to try some great North Indian dishes then go for it. The taste is immaculate because of their chef. The owner is really nice to you and has good customer service skills! This place is good for 2/4/6 or more people to go together as friends, family or for couples. The spice level can be tolerated to your wish. Overall the dishes are amazing and you’d not regret it.

Lamb Kharahi ordered could only taste red chilli powder. I would have made a better dish. It appear the chef thought he was cooking for a European pallet. There was no other taste than full of red chilli powder. Really disappointed. I hope the owners will read this and enquire as I have saved some of the curry if they want to taste and reflect on what they had prepared…..remember we payed the exact price for this food. I am aware they are a family business so will give them a chance to redeem themselves.

The food here was amazing. The balance between spice, chillies and flavour was great! Best thing about this place is, if you’d like your curries with a bit more spice, then do ask to adjust! I had the korma, prawn puri and other starters which were all amazing. It’s worth visiting this place purely for the service alone. They were all friendly and were there whenever i requested anything. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in Derby to have their food. I will only ever visit this place if i wanted authentic tasting food. Their lassis are home made and taste great, i had the classic mango and it hit the right spot. Do try their starters too - i wish i had more time to try all of them but, I recommend their prawn Hotty shatty amongst other things! Do visit this place if you’re in Derby, otherwise you’ll be missing out!

I was up in derbyshire after visiting a friend of mine and was craving indian food. I looked up the directory and found this gem. The service was lovely, a young gentleman (sanjib) was very attentive and catered to my needs to make the food spicier than normal - i do love a bit of spice. I ordered a variety of things including: the Mango Lassi, Prawn Hottey Shottey, Garlic crispy chilli chicken. I also ordered prawn puri, lamb korma, peshwari naan and pilau rice for takeaway. Nowadays a lot of places i visit water down their flavours to cater towards a milder western pallete. With this restaurant, i did not feel that was the case. If i am ever in Derby again, i shall be making another pitstop! I was very hungry and so my photographs arent the best. But it should speak volumes about how quickly i scoffed it down. All the best during these tough times #SupportSmallBusinesses

Food ordered at 6.38. Text received at 6.45 saying it was on the way. It's estimated delivery time was 7.50. phoned the at 8.20 to ask where it was no real answer give apart from it would be a further 40 to 50 mins ! This then changed to 20 mins. Food arrived after 9.30 and was one level above cold . . Not a good experience at all . We eventually got through to just eat complaints - this took 2 attempts and was over a 15 min wait the first time and pretty similar the second time when we got through . Just not a good experience at all and to be honest spoilt the evening.

This was our third visit tonite is as many months, but am amazed by the incredible freshness and quality of the food. Two more than worthy dishes has to be the Lemon Rice and Chicken Red Curry, plus anything with King Prawns. The rice is my star dish as i love curry leaves and onion seed. Chicken Red was divine with the heat and coconut milk. The missus have King Prawn Bhuna which was full and super fresh. Nana bread is as fresh as you like, always have the Butter Nan too. Overall and by a long way our favourit curry houser in Derby. Forget the overpriced Shalimar Gold, Viceroy and Anoke......Mumbai Chilli offer fine dining quality and service at takeaway prices (an no, im not on the payrole, but appreciate exceptional quality).

we visited here with two friends and ordered a selection of dishes to share. It was all freshly cooked, lovely flavours and the portions were just right .The tandoori fish was superb, the veg dishes tasty and the nan breads spot on. We also tried for the first time the home made mango ice cream, ( kulfi) it was gorgeous and really refreshing after our meal. If you haven't tried dessert in an Indian restaurant before, this is the one. Although not in the city centre, it's well worth seeking out, the prices are sensible and defiantly worth it. A little gem .

I rang and ordered the 'chefs specialiity crispy chilli paneer' as it says EXACTLY on their online menu. I rang them back again confirming the order within 5 minutes as I wanted to make sure they wouldnt make it too spicy. Unfortunately they delivered the wrong order. That was fine, I just rang the restaurant back to let them know. Instead the man on the phone would not stop laughing as it said it was ME who had ordered wrong (even though i read it out exactly as their menu said). He refused to change the order and laughed at me again when i told him he was being rude

Just had another excellent evening meal with friends at this great little restaurant. As usual there is a vast choice of food on the menu so we tucked into the poppadoms and pickles whilst we debated what to have. We tend to order four different starters and mains and swap and share. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavour. My chicken dish just melted in the mouth. All was helped down by a few cold glasses of Cobra. The meal for 4 including 2 courses, rice naan and a side with drinks came to just over £20 a head - really good value for what we had, Will certainly be returning again.

Visited on a Saturday early evening with a Groupon voucher. Booking on-line and arrival went well. Ordering took a while as the restaurant started to fill up. Just two visible staff who appeared stressed, seating people, taking orders, serving, payments etc. The phone was left to ring, so new custom or takeaway orders were being missed. Loooong wait for the food, but when it arrived - great, really good.

After booking a voucher for 4 people via Groupon we arrived at the restaurant to be told we did not have a booking. We got our phones out and showed our actual Groupon voucher on the app along with our email confirmation and were told they DID NOT have confirmation and weren't interested in whether we had a confirmation or not, we would not be eating there. The man was very rude and it was very embarrassing in front of the guests we had taken with us and other people in the restaurant. We then had to pay to eat at another restaurant even though we'd already bought and paid for a Groupon. WILL NEVER GO AGAIN

This is a great resteraunt. Fantastic food. I always rate a curry house by their poppadoms. ..These are crisp and fresh. The variety of menu is unusual and many dishes have an extra chilli hit. Not lots of ghee or oil but full on spicing and flavour. The tandoori is great. I think this little gem is the best in Derby...but the relationship between the owner and his main waiter is not for the faint hearted...be prepared for outbursts and heart felt expressions of employee dissatisfaction lol

Menu clearly states which dishes have dairy in which is always helpful for me. Jay was brilliant! He took the large order without a fuss and ensured we all had what we needed.

Excellent service but this restaurant falls short when it comes to portion size. Considering the price, you would expect more. The portion size is ideal for one person, and that’s if you’re not feeling too hungry. It’s a shame because the food tasted nice. I know many restaurants like these, pricey but small portions, and unfortunately I don’t return to them.

I've been here many times over the years, never been disappointed. The staff were perfect and attentive - witty banter in English wasn't provided but of course is much less important than good grub. Everything on offer recommended, although not all at once. If it's not the best Indian restaurant in Derby it must be one of them. Being one of the best doesn't come cheap though!
