We called in late on a Friday night and they would have been quite within their rights to turn us away but stayed back to serve us a beautiful meal. One of the 3 of us has coeliac disease, but was catered to without any fuss and was quite well the next day still. I would like to go back... hopefully soon!

Got a takeaway delivered from these boys last week and everything was on point! Food arrived much quicker than the estimate given (t’was a Saturday after all so I was prepared to wait) and when it did come it was delish! I’ve tried other Indian-inspired cuisines in the area and this one will be my go to from now on! 😃

We called in at 930pm and ordered food promptly knowing they closed at 1030pm, the waiter looked unhappy that we were in an hour before they closed, service continued without a smile and once we'd paid the bill we were informed 'they were now closed' which felt like 'leave now' food was ok, service not great at all..felt completely rushed and unwelcome so either go with plenty of time to spare or better still don't go at all..

So looking forward to a lovely meal,myself and my husband were regulars many moons ago,and thought we would try it again with friends.I can only speak about my experience,probably the longest wait between courses,and my food was diabolical to say the least,lamb pasanda,i dont think so!!! The lamb resembled dog meat,absolutely zero flavour,no indian taste what so ever,a strange pink colour,tastless garlic naan and cold starter,no thankyou.

Shocking!!! Avoid at all costs and I mean costs. £9 for under cooked frozen chicken nuggets and raw frozen fries. Several curries tasted of nothing and the others were less than good. Very disappointed at the least and paid an expensive price for the bad experience. Please dont get me started about the naans. Never once asked if the food was OK but constantly offered to buy more over priced drinks. Do yourself a favour and buy a meal deal from the supermarket.

Lovely restaurant! I had been put off going out for Indian food due to disappointing experiences at a couple of places but we were away for a break with friends and Samad was within walking distance from our accommodation in Dronfield. Everything absolutely delicious with the best peshwari naan I have ever tasted. I had the chef's special Lamb which did not disappoint and well cooked Pilau Rice. The price is not over the top either!

Visiting Dronfield to see the iconic Sheffield FC 'Home of Football Stadium' and stopped here for a curry dinner. I have to say I was blown away by Samad Cottage. I was served breathtaking food that gets to the heart and soul of what curry means. While dining I was catching up on Sheffield FC news and it turns out the club have submitted plans for a new 5000 seater stadium. I believe Samad should follow in the footsteps of their fellow Dronfield institution and commit to massive expansion by 2025/26. This is the only sensible future for this restaurant. With curry this mouth watering they will have NO TROUBLE AT ALL filling a 5000+ capacity 'Home of Curry Cottage'. This will in turn generate MASSIVE profits, which they fully deserve. Truly one of the tastiest meals I've had in North Derbyshire. Amen x

Update: Ordered take away for collection, they said collection in 45 minutes. Arrived 45 minutes later, they said one minute. Another 25 minutes later food still nowhere, had to ask what's going on. - one minute, then another 5 minutes. Also they were quite rude this time around, didn't like the attitude. I have ordered from here several times without issues, had dinner in the restaurant a few times and they were always nice but this time the experience put me off from ordering from them again. Shame. Original review: Great food, the best peshwari naan I ever head, also the best tarka Dahl. The take away was on time, reasonably priced and really friendly people.

Overall poor. Main gripes: garnishes with poppadoms; 1 onions (ok), 2 watery yoghurt (can't be bothered or don't know how to make raihta or add any embellishment), 3 red sweet liquid (what is this sticky stuff? No-one knew.), 4 syrupy mango liquid (it's a guess, but we think it was a mango chutney impression...from a large, cheap catering jar backstage). Overall, yuck! Main dishes; generic sauce with ALL dishes, simply "tweaked" for each. A much repeated story, which gave....a dansak with no lentils, rogan josh no peppers, dopiaze no onions...chicken tikka not marinated no lemon, lamb tough. Wish I could find a good curry house. Don't give these people your custom.

Whilst the food was fine, not great but fine; the decor and staff attitude was awful with one issue. When we arrived it was obvious that a take away was being prepared so a male member of staff felt it ok and a good image to throw down the stairs a bag of salad that it supposed to be for a customer. Myself and my guests (possible delivery customers) saw this. In fact it was centimetre from us as we walked in. The carpets look dirty and need taking away to make it clean. The decor is too old looking for today’s customers who expect much higher standards. A place like yours in such a prime location would do very well with an update and fresh look. I will come back when you do and improve on your scores on the doors number. Thank you

Samad Cottage has managed to stand the test of time. It opened in 1984. They have managed to maintain their high standards throughout the period. The restaurant is situated in the heart of Old Dronfield and has 3 fantastic pubs, all within walking distance to the restaurant. It's important to state that the restaurant is upstairs and may not be suitable for people who are disabled. Well done, Ali and your fantastic team.

It’s not possible to give a 0 star rating, but if you could I would. The butter chicken had a split greasy sauce and the chicken can only be described as pre cooked process chicken from a supermarket. The rice was bland and naan tasteless. The other dishes ordered were of the same quality, awful. The biryani sauce was watery and the absence of chicken was staggering. The King prawn bhuna had 2 king prawns! We rang to express out disappointment with the food but the managements attitude was as bad as the food. Needless to say we will not be having food from here again, a shame given we had used them for over 30 years before they changed hands. Such a shame.

The last time we tried the Samad was just after it had changed hands and it wasn’t good. Today we thought we would try it again for a takeaway and if possible it was even worse. chicken biryani hardly any chicken and what there was looked like processed not freshly cooked, the sauce was watery without any vegetables. The butter chicken had a layer of grease on top and tasted strongly of coriander which I don’t mind but not that strong.The king prawn bhuna was also covered with a layer of grease and 2 king prawns! As for the rice it looked and tasted like the ones you cook in the microwave for 2 minutes. Not really wanting to write another bad review we rang the restaurant to give feed back and they couldn’t care less so try another take away this is awful.

We have been going to Samad cottage for over 30 years now. The food is always good and we have always enjoyed our meals.Last night was Valentines night so i took my wife out for a meal. The restaraunt was very cold, in fact the lady behind my wife sat in her coat and scarf eating her meal, her husband kept his coat on too! We ordered a bottle of red wine and when it came it was freezing, i had to put it on top of the candle to warm it up, surely by now they should know red wine needs to be served at room temperature, well they got that right!!! There was a small heater which i turned on to warm us up but shortly after the owner came over and turned it off in a very unfriendly manner, no "would you like me to leave the heater on sir as its a little cold in here"This place has been in Dronfield for over 35 years now, i cant imagine it hasnt taken enough money to heat the place properly!Stop being tight and either put the heating on or if its broke get it sorted!We will return as the food is good but we may wait until the weather gets better as sitting in a cold restaraunt is not nice!!

We did turn up to Kashmiri aroma in Sheffield to find it burnt out so the wife said let’s try Samad to used to be really good some years back. Well that was then and this is now. It was terrible, I’ve had a better curry in hospital which was bad.I see there are mixed reviews on here so perhaps the top chef was out but if you like a decent curry this isn’t the place to go. I do hope the management recognise this as constructive criticism to improve the flavour and appearance of their curry.

On leaving we asked again he said shooed is away with his had and again said it was up to him how he served people. The food was way below average. Every dish looked the same with a sauce being a kind of thick mush. Please avoid at all costs and go elsewhere!

Top restaurant and takeaway in DRONFIELD 👍 Must add I tried phoning to order food but they don't answer the landline🤔I had to drive to the cottage and place our order. There's a seating area to wait. You can pay cash or card. Definitely well worth waiting for. Awesome 🌟🌟🌟

We visited The Samad Cottage on the 26th January. 11 of us had an evening out. Food was amazing, cooked well and great service. We have never been disappointed when visiting here on a night out. Thank you once again . 5 star

Visited the Samad on Saturday evening with some out of town friends. After some lovely drinks in the Blue Stoops (wish we’d have stayed in there) we went over to the restaurant. To put it short and sweet the place is tired and the interior is very unattractive, cold and dirty. The food was at best awful and the staff were quite rude and un happy and made us feel we were intruding in their telephone conversation and texting. We will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant at all.

Very tasty food. I tried to call in my order 5 times and they didn't puck up. So i had to drive down and wait 20 minutes. But it was worth it for the delicious food

I visited in the early evening, so not many people or atmosphere, the surroundings were good and the staff attentive, the food was the older style of Indian, the pashwari nan was exceptional. Only down side was the price of beer it was very expensive.

Missing items in our order, replaced with items we didn’t want and the curry’s we ordered were lacking in flavour. The lamb biryani tasted more like mutton, extremely chewy. The nans were broken up and tiny for what they charge…Overall, extremely dissatisfied and would not recommend.
