Slice of India in Derby

A superb buffet style all you can eat place. Catering for numerous types of food. All bursting with flavour and tender meat which I love. Starters, main course and pudding all very good

Very nice food and staff, lots for all tastes. Very very different from 10+ years ago as we'd vowed never to go back. But after learning to cook various Asian food and going to Nepal learning from retired Gurkhas who work on the Roll Royce contract seeing these new reviews and pictures decided to give it a go. Its certainly different and a wide selection that from what I had was all different in taste unlike some places! Some was quite spicy but as it should be very tasty too, one I would not recommend was the BBQ chicken strips as they were a bit bland and the sauce overly spicy hot, whereas in contrast the spicy hot tomato chutney where they make dosa and puri was even hotter but very tasty. That was similar to achar or chutney in Nepal. The veg dumplings were also very much like momo in Nepal, so having them with the chutneys took me 6000 miles away again. Yummy.

1st time here, I guarantee it won't be my last!! Every single dish I tried was absolutely amazing! The staff was on point with everything from helping to order food from the fresh cooked areas, and helping translation of the dishes into English so I knew what I was trying out at every station 🥰 They also have English food, pizza, nuggets and chips etc,, Chinese dishes , chow meins, rice's and sweet sour chicken 👌 😋 And just to top it off,, wow the pudding selection! Seriously these guys have it all down perfect, from fresh cakes to fresh fruits, jelly, ice cream and even a chocolate fountain. I could go on and on,,, best thing is just go n try for yourself 💯🤗

Good food at a good price wide selection of items. Definitely worth a visit

Visit here often, never had a bad experience, food it always quality and fresh, staff very attentive

Great choices and lovely food and service first time I have been enjoyed it

"Height discrimination at its finest – shame on you, Slice of India!" I’m utterly appalled by Slice of India’s outrageous policy that children over 150 cm must pay the full adult price. As a tall person and the parent of a seven-year-old who happens to be over 150 cm, I find this completely unacceptable. Charging £22 for a child is not just unfair—it’s pure exploitation. When did we start using height instead of the appropriate age of a child. A child is a child, regardless of their height. This policy is discriminatory, outdated, and frankly absurd. Height has no bearing on age or appetite, and penalizing families with taller kids is shameful. Slice of India, you should be ashamed of this discriminatory and greedy practice. I will not be returning and will be advising others to avoid your establishment until you reconsider this ridiculous policy. Heightism has no place in 2024/25

Been there for few times good Time every time

Cannot rate this place highly enough. If you like Indian or Chinese food seriously book and go. We went early evening and was amazing. It was between £22 and £23 per head and truly worth it. Staff brilliant, food wonderful and atmosphere just right.

Don't know why I've never been here before, wasn't expecting much, I'm not a fan of all you can eat/buffet places. Cosmo is my worst nightmare!! But this was a very welcome surprise. The food on offer was lovely, a wide range, something for everyone, including roast turkey and roast potatoes! The service was really good, very attentive staff. Plates where taken away and refills were provided regularly. Such great value for money, I will be back

I recommend visiting here every weekend to spend a good time with your family. The service is excellent

Excellent food variety,all types from a most countries. b popular dishes

Buffet, absolutely huge, food decent

Superb place, well worth a visit. I over indulged.. oops 😬, I will go back but next time pace myself 🤣🤣

If you put knife and fork down foods gone to hasty to take your plate love the stir fry area and dosa

It was quite on the Sunday we went there. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The food was excellent and plenty of it Would recommend it to everyone

Everything is delicious 😋 Staff are so nice

Thought I’d try the place. And got to say all the food I had was delicious and fresh all the staff were on the ball. And the price was very reasonable. Will definitely go again

Perfect! Great staff great food too much to explain but there wasn't anything I tried that was not nice. You fill up fast so be careful! The owner spoke to us and told us about his business ect...very friendly.

Very disappointing taste , whole of the chicken had that bad odor which comes as if chicken has not been washed under water before cooking , have got only one meat dish average taste, staff were good and catering staff were all responsive but ultimately what we come for food was totally waste , you need to improve soon or no one will return.

Amazing food. Good atmosphere. Good food quality and plenty to choose from. Definitely recommend 👌

Great place for dinner. Always busy but lots of food continually being refreshed

Had a great night with family food was good

Thoroughly enjoyed the buffet, wide variety of food options. Not compromised in quality. Will return again.

We had a table for 11. Good atmosphere. Staff were friendly and efficient . Food was piping hot and good choice of dishes. Large carpark to rear of the building. Had a lovely family evening together and will definitely return

The Indian buffet offered a delightful array of flavors and aromas. I highly recommend it as a dining experience for lovers of Indian cuisine.

Absolutely fantastic food, staff were very polite and helpful, I highly recommend this place. We'll all definitely be going again.

It felt more like a canteen than a restaurant. The food was nice .

Good selection of food. Clean place. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff

Really nice, tasty, quality food. The staff are always helpful and friendly - in fact, they absolutely make this place something special! There is also ample on-site parking. We love Slice of India and would like to say a big thank you to everyone for looking after us so well every time we visit 😊

The best Indian buffet I had till date here in UK.

The food is really lovely. The waiters are very attentive and polite. Had a lovely meal there last night and really reasonable priced

The food at Slice of India was average, and the manager was rude and unprofessional. They charge £18 per person for the buffet, even if you’re not eating have a look on buffet and must be pay £18 because they have policy. Very disappointing experience.

First visit, greeted with a smile and shown around. Service was excellent and all staff friendly and helpful. Food was amazing and hot. Dosa station was amazing and tasty. Well worth the visit and will go back again.p

I had a very unpleasant experience at Slice of India restaurant. The food was average, but lacking flavor and quality. On top of that, the manager was incredibly rude and showed no professionalism in handling our concerns. It felt like customer service was the least of their priorities. Save yourself the trouble there are much better places to spend your time and money. I won’t be going back, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others. Thank you.

Lovely food and great staff - will deffo be going again soon x

I had a very unpleasant experience at Slice of India restaurant. The food was well below average, lacking flavor and quality. On top of that, the manager was incredibly rude and showed no professionalism in handling our concerns. It felt like customer service was the least of their priorities. Save yourself the trouble—there are much better places to spend your time and money. I won’t be going back, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others.

Don’t go here on Friday’s. Food is very bad… the only thing good is the water.

Absolutely beautiful food and the chilli cauliflower is to die for. Only fault was the stir-fry section didn't have much flavour but otherwise it's fantastic

Food was beautiful and the service was excellent.

"I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The food quality was shockingly poor, and it resulted in food poisoning for my entire family. I do not recommend this place at all. It’s unacceptable for any establishment to serve food that puts customers' health at risk."

"I had a terrible experience at this restaurant, which unfortunately ended with severe food poisoning. The food tasted off from the start, but I assumed it was just poorly prepared. Shortly after eating, I became extremely sick and had to seek medical attention. The hygiene and food safety at this establishment are clearly lacking. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone—it's not only disappointing but downright dangerous. Avoid at all costs!"

Very good quality and variety of food. 👌👌👍❤️❤️

Went tonight on a whim was very impressed food was very nice and well cooked the masala dosa was delicious never tried before will definitely have another

Food is always nice and all staff r polite

Good food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere

Truly electrifying Indianness in everything @ Derby, England

Was recommended this place so visited as party of 4 Very good price . Wasn't expecting it to be Buffer and not my favourite kind of dining. Food was actually very good . Parking great . Good for family dining or big family/ groups/ mixed age groups. Keen to try a music night here . Only reason not for 5 star is just personal taste as buffet is not my favourite. I'm veggie and found plenty of food choices . Staff very good at clearing away and attentive . Easy access for wheelchair/ prams , all on one level . Huge place , probably biggest restaurant I been to in a long time I can remember.

Went here with family again this week. My dad loves this place - if they had an all inclusive option with bedroom, i’m sure he’d take it!! Again good selection of foods, with a coupla changes from last year (Gobi manchurian added, nice touch), with staples of dosa, bhattura, noodles etc all as usual. It was a Sunday so less people as easier going (Fridays and Saturdays are very busy) and so prefer it. Dad’s favourites pani puri, yoghurt Bhalla, dosa, bhattura with dap makhani, chunky chips & of course small amount of sweet😉

Business needs to start treating customers better, instead of everyone being a potential criminal. Every inch of the place is covered in posters reminding you to pay or with pictures of people they believe left without paying. Even in the toilets. no menus or price lists so final bill comes as a surprise. Table only available for 2 hours, and you're timed even when the place is empty. And apparently asking for drinks is completely inappropriate and the staff aren't able to do that. Food is average at best. Just go somewhere else, anywhere will treat you better

Great quality food and helpful staff

I visited the place and also eat food from Slice of India, every staff member said that all food Halal except mashmellow, but at the end when I asked for the Halal certificate, then the person at reception told me that we have no certificate on the name of Slice of India, we have certificates for our suppliers. I suggest to every Muslim, not go to this restaurant because it is not halal.

Food was amazing so much choice . Staff lovely and friendly. Good value .definitely be going back

Great service . Lovely staff. Food excellent. So lovely we will definitely be back. Very good pice too .loads of parking

Great place shame it is now Halal. We won’t be going again due to this.

Great place to try different food. Good service staff amazing. Only issue I had was my plate was taken before I finished. I went to the bathroom. I could off gone for another plate.

A very good place to eat Indian food.

Could do more variety of food but love everything they had

We had the most amazing food and the service was great.

Everything on the menu tasted amazing. There is a stir fry station where you get to pick what will go into your meal.As someone who experiments with food all over the world, I was in awe at the spread and the efficiency of the staff in getting us our drinks refilled. Note of warning: Please, make sure you go there with an empty stomach.

Goods:Food selections and quality are amazing Staff are kind and helpful Everything is halal apart from marshmallows Bads: It is expensive thu particularly for families. Also Not sure why drinks are not included, so you pay separately for.

Amazing experience. Highly recommended.

Great choice of different tasty dishes. Relaxing atmosphere with friendly helpful staff. Parking at the rear of the building with lots of spaces. Highly recommended

Best buffet around, always good fresh food

The food was exquisite as always. The place never disappoints! Would definitely recommend for some food Indian food. 👌🏽👌🏽💯💯💯

Been here a few times and I have no complaints. Best buffet I have ever been too.

Drinks are not included in the package, They didn't inform us this

Slice of India is a must-visit in the Midlands, offering a fantastic street food counter and fresh salad bar. Family-friendly with ample parking, it features authentic Indian desserts and standout dishes like butter chicken and vegan dosa. With fun DJ nights and nostalgic touches like Thumsup and Limca, it's perfect for any occasion, especially when heading to Alton Towers.

Free spacious parking, plenty of different selections of India foods - from starters, to mains and deserts, also catered to English dishes. I enjoyed all of the different dishes that were on offer. Free jugs of water, and were top up regularly,the waiter's/waitresse's were friendly and kept up with tablet service throughout. Well priced too. Will definitely be back again soon. Thanks, Slice of India!!

I recently dined at Slice of India and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the ambiance. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful dining experience. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. The variety on the menu ensured that there was something for everyone, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Tikka Masala and the freshly baked naan, which were absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was equally remarkable. The decor was tasteful and elegant, creating a cozy yet sophisticated environment. The lighting was just right, and the background music added a pleasant touch without being overwhelming. Overall, Slice of India exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of exceptional food and a superb atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy an outstanding Indian dining experience. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit!

Lovely retirement meal for Ruth and Geraldine. Rushed back for seconds. Very happy. Highly recommended.

Great place to dine in, good vibes and good food.

Food choices were good Live cooking stations were good. Kebabs and pani puris were good too. Dessert selections were impressive I think jilebis ( recommended to me by a friend ) are available only on weekends. It was not there on a weeknight dinner Restrooms were not clean

Amazing Buffet, service is nice, used plates are gone before we come back to table. Taste is nice as well…. No complaints

Our absolute all time favourite Indian restaurant. We come here every month and wouldn’t go anywhere else because not only is the all you can eat food fantastic (in taste, quality, selection and freshness), which is super important, but the staff are very friendly and efficient too - and this really sets the restaurant apart from others.

. The variety of food options they offer is impressive, and the atmosphere is fantastic. The place is impeccably clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive specially the receptionist Service: Dine-in Price per person: £10-20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Paneer Tikka, Gol Gappe, Masala Dosa, Buffet Dessert, Pani Puri Additionally, it's a great spot for those looking to try Indian cuisine. Some must-try dishes include Special Chaat, Dahi Bhalla, Chaat Papdi, Pani Puri, and many more. I am completely satisfied with the food.

I visited this restaurant today and, unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The food was a major letdown. The flavors were bland and lacked the authenticity I was expecting from an Indian restaurant. The spices, which are the hallmark of Indian cuisine, were either overpowered by an excess of salt or completely absent, making the dishes tasteless.The curries were watery and lacked depth. a sauce that tasted like it came straight out of a can. services and atmosphere are good. Not even one dish taste like an Indian food. they are provided a food in the name of Indian dishes. Totally disappointed. Only British peoples were come to this becoz they haven't tried Indian food before if you ever tried Indian food don't go to this place.

Visited for the first time Buffet was good. Service was fantastic Very good atmosphere maintained to enjoy good food

Food was good. We ordered food for 50 people. But the quantity wasn’t sufficient. In fact seems like food was only for 40-45 people so there was very less quantity of food given. It was so embarrassing for us in function as there was not enough food to eat. After catering they mentioned will check with the kitchen and get back to us but they didn’t even contacted and as I was expecting the little amount of refund.

Nice and tasty food and good atmosphere

Love this place fantastic food if you don't like just get something else never been disappointing

Large variety of food.open buffet

Bit tight on the aisles for gerring a wheelchair round but on the whole a great experience.

Multiple option for food lover. Taste is delicious too.

delicious food, so many options, authentic Indian food.. nice ambience

Menu changes since I was last there 2-3 years ago and it works. Mains methi chicken and keema were great Punjabi chicken (on the bone) at most recent visit in 2024 was delicious

Love a slice of India 🇮🇳 Popped in for a birthday treat for the wife with the kids. Good all round selection of different dishes catering for all tastes. I started off with a plate full of goodies, poppadoms, onion bhaji, naan bread, kebab. It was a decent bit of fodder let me tell ya. 2nd plate went with some noodles and sweet and soya chicken. 3rd plate I went for a plate of chips, proper fluffy gungey chungy chips beautifully made. 4th plate were desserts, I went with a couple of éclairs, ice cream and the apple crumble was top drawer! And the last plate........only kidding I was stuffed, last stop was the lavatory! Couldn't comment on the curries as I didn't try them I had a reet sweat on just with the sweet and sour chicken. Till the next time slice of India.......party on!

Food was bit tasty but never go in their toilets after food. I don't how this big restaurant don't keep eye on this.

Very poor service from the staff on check out /payment On arrival they agreed to discount my disabled son who will literally eat only one slice of pizza by 30% only to be told on departure that this is not now possible

Located on the outskirts with good parking. Food is mediocre and not appetising. Staff is great and efficient.

I can't come to Derby without eating at the best Indian in the region!

Been lots of choice of good food freindly staff clean place nothing bad to say. Will visit again!

Buffeet Restaurant. I bit expensive. Lot of parking. Food is basic quality. Live cooking but not much. Dosa was good. Rest of dishes were not the best. Hall is good size. Interior is reasonable. If you live locally, at least visit once.

Overall food is average which reflects the cost, been many times over the years because it is good value for what is available many choices so always satisfied, my only negative observation is staff are constantly watching you , as soon as you have finished the plate is removed , i think it is more appropriate to wait until everyone at the table has finished their meal obviously they are under instructions from management to clear tables immediately and to push sales of drinks, in spite of everything we will return soon. PBK

Lots of choices, food very good. Definitely worth a visit.

Good experience, since last time I visited, improved food, tastes better curries are nicer and hygiene is still of a high standard.

Me and my wife visted 1st time here. And it was very worst experience. The food was pathetic and cold. And there staff service was poor like the didnt listen us. We were going there to celebrate our special eid day but they ruined our special day. My wife didnt eat anything due to cold and pathetic food and we requested to refund but they didnt give any response

Fantastic Food, Great ambience, Our families first choice for an Indian Buffet since 2008.

Very nice food all round,only fault was the so Called chicken madras. Found it too fiddely so had the tandoori chicken with the madrass sauce.good value for £19.95.will call again.

The worst thing is manners of staff. The receptionist ethics and professionalism was so bad, said you need to make your daughter stand to the line drawn on wall to prove she is less than 150 cm (to prove she is a child). Despite me saying happy to pay adult price as I didn’t wanted my daughter to feel she is short, still despite my request, when my daughter passed the counter, he said definitely over 150 cm, it was embarrassing. The food was also very average. After this recaption, I am not going back there.
