Amazing food and service!! Whenever I go to restaurants I always clean the plate and the cutlery my self but everytime I come to niccos I don’t feel the need to do so due to the good hygiene. Eddie served us today and he was great to us. Fast service and good quality food. Will always come back

Lovely evening, fabulous food and service Paula was great many thanks Jane,Darshan and Jean xxx

Paula was great, excellent service

Terrible service. I booked a table and arrived in good time. After being shown to my table I browsed the menu a then put the menu down - a sign in was ready to order. I waited for over 20 minutes and no one even came to ask if I wanted a drink let alone food. I was so disgusted I walked out. Not the service I would expect from a decent looking restaurant.

Wonderful service at Nicco’s from Paula. She was very attentive and really friendly. Food was amazing as always, it’s definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Derby!

Paula was very good,She has Smile on her very welcoming.

Paula was an amazing waitress we felt very lucky to have her as a waitress

Great service, Madalena was very friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic and a brilliant atmosphere to the whole place!

Paula did a great job at attending to our requirements and went above and beyond to try get us naanwiches after hours!

Had a lovely evening, food was fabulous and our server Kinga was lovely and very attentive. Will definitely be coming back!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Kinga was especially lovely! Definitely recommend.

Amazing food hot,fresh, big portions and full of flavour we were served by Louis who was so helpfull and friendly and helped us make choices with the menu will definitely be back and recommend the sharing platter

I heard mixed reviews so was unsure what my first visit would be like but I was so happy we chose to come here. We had a big group (18) and the staff were very friendly and helpful and patient. Food portions were great and everything was super tasty. I had 3 small plates and they filled me. The lady serving recommended the chilli chicken and it was delicious. Only thing I would note is it is on the pricey end and we were disappointed they didn’t accept cash. Bonus: the toilets are really nice 😀

The food was great and our waitress Paula was very attentive and personable. We come here often and have always had a great time.

Paula was our server and she was wonderful! Very attentive. We were full even before our mains came and we had them bagged up to take away and Paula still got us a desert to celebrate our anniversary! Was wonderful and will definitely be returning xx

Vibrant atmosphere, efficient and professional staff. Food exceptional. Toilets exceptionally clean.

We were a table of 11 and Paula our waitress was v helpful, providing great service and took extra care to make sure we were ok. Food was nice but not amazing for the price. Didn't expect loaded chips to be the frozen variety at £4.50. I couldn't find much chicken in my chicken biryani. Best dish was gobi Manchurian. Place was v loud and busy on a Tuesday. Not sure why it's that popular.

The meal was fantastic and filling. Louis, our waiter was more than amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure we weren’t lacking anything. Thank you so much!

Lovely location, food was good quality, but expensive when you add the normal extras. Worth checking the menu before attending as quite limited for Indian cuisine. Service was good, but felt very rushed, twice plates were attempted to be taken before we were finished. Waitress was however polite. Pleased to have gone but don't think I will be returning.

I went to the restaurant last night for my friends birthday we had Louie S serve us he was really nice to all of us and gave us a great customer service. The food was amazing too and the place is stunning inside for the first time going I would 100% recommend and hope you get Louie who serves you cause he was great.

Food was amazing and the venue is also very beautiful. We came on a Tuesday at 5pm and surprised how busy it was. We were served by a lady called Paula, she went above and beyond and her customer service was amazing and so genuine. Would definitely return and recommend

Absolutely amazing place! Food and drinks were delicious and service was super nice and quick too. I've been there several times already and will definitely come back for more delicious food! Highly recommend.

We visted to nicco today and we had lovely time there , kinga served us in a very good manner and respectful way. She has very goot service and we were all happy with her she was amazing! Thanks

Really great food at amazingly sensible prices.

We visited nicco restaurant today and we had an amazing service from kinga, she was very polite and friendly with us. We got everything we asked and had lovely time, Thankyou you very much.

Nelson is an asset to Niccos. Great service and always with a smile!

Thank you to Gemma for the amazing service !! And the food was lovely as always !!

Gemma was extremely helpful and made the whole experience so much better, good food

Nelson was an exceptional waiter, lovely food and nice drinks!

This restaurant used to be a gem but has now lost its glory. Waitress spilled a whole tray of drinks over us which spoiled the atmosphere because of lack of care and empathy. I was offered a paper napkin to dry my clothes and shoes. My replacement food was served when everyone else at my table had finished theirs. Management couldn't have cared less in my opinion. 10% discount isn't good enough when you look and smell rotten from the spilled alcoholic beverages. Management said they'll call me to see if I was fine, they never did! What a missed opportunity to show commitment and interest in the wellbeing of the guests.

Food was great, and kinga was a great server

Lovely lunch at niccos, great service from sane! Will definitely be coming back and recommend to friends and family.

Gemma is the best waitress, we love her !!!! Big slay x

Waitress was welcoming and polite. Think her name was gamma. Food was good value and delicious.

We visited early Friday evening. The place is loud and has a buzz about it and we enjoyed the live music (man on a keyboard) although, I think it would have been too loud had we been sitting closer. We ordered a cocktail, G&Ts and a jug of tap water to start. Shortly after, our food & wine order was taken. After waiting 15 minutes, we had to ask several times when our drinks would arrive. After 25 minutes, poppadoms & sauces arrived but still no drinks. We asked again if we could at least have the jug of water with our food, but still nothing. Then, before finishing the poppadoms, the starters arrived - but still no drinks! We asked again when we would get our drinks. After poppadoms and starters had been eaten, and almost 40 minutes after ordering, our drinks arrived! Including 2 jugs of water! We then had quite a long wait for the main meals. We all enjoyed the food, but the drinks service was extremely poor. There is no excuse for not providing a jug of water at least! Especially when asked multiple times. We have since heard from others about their experiences of bottlenecks with drinks. The restaurant really needs to sort this out. The experience ruined what could have been a really enjoyable evening.

Great meal, atmosphere and friendly service.

Excellent service from our waitress Ella. Food was delicious and portions are generous so save some room!

Gemma has been absolutely brilliant, professional and friendly. Thank you so much for making our business dinner such a good fun. Hugo & Riccardo from Dorchester Collection

Hello What an amazing restaurant. Packed out on a Wednesday evening - with good reason: Service was polite and "with pace". My dinner was really well cooked with lots of flavour. All on our table said it was great. Atmos - buzzin' Regards

Lovely evening, incredible food & excellent service by Madalena Will definitely come again

We had a great waiter this evening serving us, it enhanced our dining experience. Louis was our waiter, such a great young man.

We have wanted to visit Niccos for a while now and we had a wonderful experience. We sent Wednesday lunchtime and it hadn't been opened long but there were already loads of tables occupied which was a big surprise. We hadn't booked but they were able to find us a table. On arrival we got asked if we had any allergies, where we specified cucumber. When we were taken to our table by Diana we weren't asked this question even though there are dishes with cucumber in so we felt like we needed to mention it again - perhaps it was on the ordering device. The food and drinks order were taken very quickly. As we hadn't dined here before we weren't sure on the portion sizes of the rice and curries. After eating we felt like 1 rice was more than enough for 2 people as we ended up leaving a lot. The curry portions sizes were also very good. We ordered Palak Paneer (which was our favourite) and Paneer Mirchi Masala as the vegetarian mains. There was plenty to go around. The food was hot, we were under a fan so we do feel like our food got colder quicker so we would choose somewhere else to sit next time. Waiting for the bill at the end was a very very long wait, it gave us time for our food to go down which was good, but we had to call someone over eventually. We assumed we would be asked if we wanted a dessert and at the time we would ask for the bill but just no one came to us. We must have been sat there for 30-40 minutes after we had finished. The toilets were nice and clean and everywhere else was clean. We really did enjoy our experience and at the end we did get offered if we want to take the rest home with us which was a nice offer.

Under different circumstances, we would dine here more often & we know others who say the same. The food is really wonderful & the staff are lovely. What more do you want, I hear you say? When we go out for a meal, it's usually as a treat for the two of us or with friends. Last week our evening was completely spoiled by an Amy Winehouse singer as she was so loud & the 3 of us were unable to have a conversation, even though we weren't in the main part. Had it been 9pm, that wouldn't have been so bad but it was 6pm! We have friends who went in a group of 4 recently & they said they could hear nothing each other were saying & were quite upset as they hadn't met up for a while. The other aspect that would make this otherwise brilliant restaurant, better for the diner, is for the menu to indicate how 'hot & spicy' the dishes are. When we have asked, the staff weren't sure & we wouldn't remember all the details afterwards anyway. We daren't risk trying new dishes as a friend - a young man - couldn't eat his food as it was too 'hot' for him! Please would you consider at least indicating on your menu how 'hot' each dish is and on your booking form, whether or not there's going to be music. A lot of people like to go out for a meal to relax and chat which is impossible with your loud music. We hope to return soon for a more 'chilled' evening as we love everything else about you.

Lovely food, service was great from Vikrant

Valentine’s Day set menu: Absolutely stunning evening with some incredible food. I was blown away by the quality and thought process behind this menu. Staff were amazing and so attentive. It was extremely well organised, which made the evening all the better. The only feedback I would like to leave for the restaurant was you were incredibly generous on the food portioning. Even my partner (who eats a heck of a lot of food) struggled by the end. Not a complaint by any means just wanted to give genuine feedback. It was definitely value for money! For the team that came up with the menu and created the evening, the chefs that cooked the food and the team that delivered the vision to the customer, thank you and a honest well done.

Had a very nice dinner with my friend here, the live music was fantastic and Paula, the lovely lady who looked after us did a fantastic job!

I'm a bit surprised this place rates so highly. It's OK. Venue is modern, open plan, and nice, very busy, even on a Wednesday. Food was overall average. The butter chicken was far too sugary for my palate, the bombay potatoes were weird and bad, wine was nice though. It's probably a nice place to meet up and chat over a meal, but believe me there are many places serving better curries than here.

Paula was brilliant, thank you for your great service ☺️.

I have been to this restaurant on 2 separate occasions now with family and friends. This has been early (~6pm) on a Saturday night. The food and service has been incredible - but on both occasions I have seen multiple men in a single toilet cubicle and heard the snorting of drugs. It’s not a place I’m prepared to take family and friends and this needs resolving before the police need to get involved.

Amazing food! quick and friendly service! couldn’t fault it

Service was fantastic- staff couldn't have been more attentive. This was honestly the highlight for me but the food was delicious too - 10/10 for taste, broad menu with plenty vegetarian options and small plates. Every dish was executed well and good value.

Paula really looked after us, great recommendations

Kinga was amazing, so attentive and made our evening special :)

Food was fantastic with super fast and lovely service from our waitress Kinga

The food was fantastic. I had a Patakha Karahi which is new on the menu, the spice level was fairly hot, but as a hot curry lover It could go hotter. Nicola the hostess was amazing and couldn’t do enough, she deserves a wage rise 😁

Great food and amazing service by Kinga!

Food was amazing, Kinga’s service was incredible.

thoroughly enjoyed a lovely dinner here Lots of variety on the menu and great service Our server Kinga made sure we were very well looked after

We had a table booking we made in an advance for my brother’s birthday, this was a table of 38. I was worried when I was in charge of organising this meal and ensuring everyone was invited because I wondered if Niccos could accommodate to a table of so many people. I requested my enquiry via their contact email and I had a fast response, the person on the other end was so helpful and was able to answer any questions I had. A deposit of £10 ahead had to be made on time of booking. We was able check out the space they had for us before the night of the meal to ensure we was happy with the space, we had a whole section to ourselves which you can appreciate with such a large family this was perfect. Our main waitress for the night was a young lady named Ruby, who was really helpful, friendly, funny and supportive. It was her last shift, what a honour it was to have Ruby as our main waitress and especially for her last shift. We all had a fantastic time, the food was absolutely delicious and the family members who had children were really impressed with the children's menu and the options on there. Would 100% recommend this restaurant, amazing all round! You wont be disappointed.

The food was delicious and the variety and quantity was too good. The ambience was very good too and the hospitality as well. 1 of the best fine dining experiences in Derby till date for us.

Great food and great, friendly, attentive service throughout our meal from Leanor

We visited Nicco in the Christmas season and had a lovely time. We tried a few small plates that were some of the best Indian food I’ve had in Derby. The atmosphere was great as there was a live singer and pianist. Our waitress, Lenor gave great service and was very attentive. Will be back again soon!
