Turaa Indian Streatery in South Derbyshire

This was probably the best curry I’ve ever had. We went on a Sunday evening and everything was spot on. The service was good, the environment was good and the food was amazing. The chap who welcomed us was friendly, helpful and his recommendations were keenly followed. I had The Thali with the railway cabin lamb and Sri Lankan chicken. This was excellent. My wife had Goan fish curry and this was superb. It’s not cheap but it’s not a Friday night post pub curry, either. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely return - this time for a bowl full of the railway cabin lamb!

We have had the pleasure of eating at Turaa on a number of occasion and the food, experience and staff never fail to impress. However, nothing prepared the night we threw a surprise party on the wrong day! Totally our fault but we have booked for a 25 people to come for a surprise party and had given the restaurant the wrong date!! So there we were with 25 guest, the birthday girl on the way and potentially now food! Well the speed with which the team made up of AAQIB, SUHEN and ZAMAN along with the kitchen responded was nothing short of incredible. Within 10mins of realising our mistake they had turned around the restaurant to be ready for the party and had the food on the go. The result was an incredible, seamless evening that nearly never happened but ended up being an huge success. Turaa we salute you!!

What a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Casual dress seemed to be the order of the day. We were welcomed by smart attentive staff who expected us and immediately made us feel welcome. The menu was easy to read and the Indian street food dishes explained well. The waiting staff pointed out how to order sharing plates so we could try a few of the dishes that were new to us and gave us information on how the menu worked. The food arrived and didn’t disappoint, it looked smelt and tasted delicious. This is a must try restaurant. I would highly recommend it. It was our wedding anniversary and it was made memorable by the quality of the food and service and value for money. We shall be back.

Super food. Amazing service. All the food we had was freshly made. The staff couldn’t enough for us and the atmosphere was lovely.

Just eaten here, drove past many times but decided to give it a try and wasn't disappointed, good was amazing, presented well and tasted even better, keep up the good work guys 👍🏻

What a beautiful restaurant! My partner was recommended to go here from a few people. From the setting, atmosphere, the food, service, it exceeded our expectations! The food was exceptional, the best Indian food I have ever tasted. Fresh tasting food which left us all pleasantly full, but in ore of how beautiful each plate was and planning what we would each have next time we visit. Staff were friendly, professional and instantly we were at ease. I would definitely recommend coming here, it complements the Melbourne vibe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great selection of gluten free that tasted amazing!!

What an absolute treat! Turaa exceeded our very high expectations and we can't wait to visit again. The food was impeccable; delicious and beautifully presented. We both chose the Thali and were overwhelmed by the quality of food we received. The restaurant is cosy and has a lovely relaxed feel to it. We were there on a Thursday and there were families, couples and groups of friends all enjoying themselves. The staff team really do go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome.

A curry of this standard is a rare beast indeed and by goodness did the food and atmosphere live up to the five star reviews. Beautifully balanced spices and home made or locally sourced authentic indian ingredients. The icing on the cake for me was discovering one of the staff lived in many of the places I did in Birmingham where I originally hail from. Apparently he sounds 'yorkshire' to local ears which made me laugh. My son really enjoyed the portion we brought home for him. To sum it up, Turaa has a fantastic balance of the contemporary and the traditional with something for every palate; from the old faithfuls to exciting and diverse alternatives.

Chaat bombs are 🤌🏻 to start. Charcoal chicken and railway lamb are both excellent

Food absolutely gorgeous, fantastic menu. Staff attentive and welcoming. Can't wait to return. Try it ,you won't be disappointed

Amazing place. One of the best meals I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Fantastic indian in Melbourne, the staff are very attentive and have time to chat, the food is extremely good, Railway lamb curry 👍 Recommend it to everyone

Absolutely phenomenal. Food was delicious… and that’s coming from an Indian who’s travelled all over India and eats home cooked Indian food daily! I highly recommend everyone to try Turaa and book in advance. Service that goes above and beyond. Atmosphere that compliments its Indian streetery vibe. It was truly a mesmerising experience!

Just had an absolutely gorgeous meal here. Staff fantastic and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing! Fantastic atmosphere and the food was incredible! Will definitely be going back

Stayed the weekend in Melbourne and this place was so good we went twice! All the food seemed really fresh, good portion sizes and really uniquely presented. Great variety of dishes, we opted for a main and some small plates to share and it was all delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the decor is beautiful. Would absolutely recommend, well worth the price

2nd visit was very noisy and food very expensive - poppadoms and main with 2 sides and drinks was £43!! 1st visit Booked for Sat night. Place has potential however they crammed our table in next to a party of 4 that we had to move the table. The poppadoms came out after starters as we had to remind them, very slow to taking out did and drinks order. Tbh it felt like they were short staffed. The food was great just the service busy

We had an overnight stay in Melbourne and this place was recommended to us for dinner. Loved everything about it! Food, atmosphere and service were all faultless. We Will definitely be returning.

Just love this place. Everyhing about it is great. We’ve only recently discovered the delights of just ordering a host of small dishes instead of a curry. Staff always lovely and polite and friendly. Can’t wait to go again. Even the takeaway is delicious but eating in makes a special night out.

Indian street food is so good! Every dish is different and so flavourful. They also look stunning. The staff are lovely and helpful. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting something quirky and delicious.

I really enjoyed the food and the service was great.

First visit with our family for our daughters 18th birthday. Excellent experience all round. Lovely food efficient and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

The taste of street food is always very tempting, and this one is definitely a good choice. I booked online in advance (recommend). We like old building, like the paintings on the wall, friendly people, and as expected, very delicious good quality food.

The best!!! … you won’t be disappointed! Every dish is good… we’re making our way through the menu and not had a bad dish yet! Our fav! 11/10

Lovely food, decor and staff…we loved it and will be back. Highly recommend this place, especially the garlic chilli chicken - thank you!

Kindly fitted me in without a booking even when they were very busy. Great food and very attentive staff throughout.

Great food, great waiter, great environment. 10/10. Fantastic presentation. Peacock cider is my new favourite. Cheese and garlic nan - I need these everyday

Absolutely fantastic food, was quite unsure when we booked but was blown away. Every dish was delicious, full of flavour & presentation was amazing. Staff were very helpful, polite & nothing too much trouble, especially Aaqib. Definitely going again soon.

A fantastic restaurant and amazing food. We have eaten here many times and it has always been first class. A special thank you to Aaqib for making our evening so special, what a wonderful guy. If there were more people like Aaqib then the world would be a better place. A big thank you from Paul and Louise.

Excellent food and service. A different and enjoyable dining experience at a reasonable price. Will be back again soon.

What a great place! From the moment we walked in we were really well looked after. Aaqib and all the staff were really attentive and pleasant and the food was amazing. We had a number of small plates which were all beautifully presented and delicious. To cap it all, they went out of their way to help us when we couldn’t get transport back to our hotel. Thank you so much, we hope to be able to visit again next time we are in the area.

This is quite stunning food. We were initially turned away because the restaurant was shut but came back and were warmly greeted by Aaqib. He is clearly enthusiastic about his family’s restaurant and with good reason. The food is exceptional. The restaurant is a long way from home for us but. We will definitely be back :-)

Tasty food with excellent service.

Been wanting to come here for a while and finally we got the opportunity on Friday evening. Make sure you book! This place has a great vibe! The staff, the decor, the atmosphere, the food, it’s all fabulous. We’re going to have to return because there’s so many more dishes on the menu that we want to try. Some of them are quite unique and I’ve not seen them elsewhere. The food that we did try was all delicious especially the date nan, pani puris, gunpowder paneer, mixed grill, which came out theatrically :-) Thanks to the owner Ibs and his wonderful team for looking after us and taking the time to sit and talk to us. It was lovely listening to the background story of how this gem came about. This is a must visit, you won’t be disappointed. Keep doing a fab job and good luck going forward.

We had a lovely evening here. The food was absolutely delicious and so well presented. The building is really lovely and modern. All the staff are so friendly and very welcoming. We are already talking about going back to sample more off the menu. Amazing! Thank you!

Really lovely food, good sized portions and friendly service! Would definitely recommend and we will be returning in the near future!

Very friendly staff, good food, and it was nicely quiet as it was a Sunday. One of us said that she wished they had a branch near her as her green lamb curry was delicious. Travelled from Oxfordshire.

Our first visit but definitely not the last! We as a family of 15 (including 4 children) on this occasion visited on Saturday evening for my husband’s birthday, upon recommendation from a friend. The staff and food were nothing short of fantastic! I had been in communication with Ibz prior to our visit to provide a pre order due to our numbers. Really friendly and helpful in advising on meal choices that were new to us. The food was almost too pretty to eat but tasted delicious! The staff brought out dry ice to create a bit of drama around service. Just great. The staff sang happy birthday to my hubby when they bought out our cake. Nothing to fault, only praise and we cannot wait to return. Thanks so much for a great start to our evening.

The food was really tasty, but incredibly expensive. £3 per person for some broken poppadoms and tiny pots of chutney. £18 for a main. Service quite slow. All the food didn't come out in one go, and we weren't a big table. And at the end of the night they started sorting out bin bags just behind us which wasn't great.

Visited Turaa for family birthday last night, absolutely fantastic. From the moment you arrive to when you leave the staff could not be more helpful and welcoming. The only thing that beats the service is the food which is amazing and leave just wanting to...

From start to finish the service and food was next level. Very friendly service topped off with some fantastic food. We will be back!

Food was superb as was service. Cannot fault this place. Been a number of times and never fails to impress A must visit if you come to Melbourne

Absolutely fantastic food. The curry was delicious, service excellent and what a beautiful setting. Highly recommend them

Awesome place. Amazing food and staff.

Excellent service and Delicious food. We were a group of nine and we all had a great evening at the Turaa restaurant. We will definitely pay them another visit.

We had an amazing meal here for our anniversary. The food is delicious, the staff are so friendly and informative and the service was brilliant. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Our first time at TURAA and we all had a lovely evening. The venue is modern and colourful and a lovely space to sit, the food was excellent and we had a mixture of small plates, chaat, curry and charcoal dishes (the latter comes to...

For once a truly different Indian that produced delicious, beautifully cooked food. I shall be back!

Booked a table at Turaa to celebrate my wife's birthday - and yes, she was with me! Lovely spacious interior, attractive decor with both smaller 2/4- people tables and larger group ones on offer. Not cheap but I don't mind paying a bit more for...

I had a chicken Biriani with a date & Ginger naan. He had a Srilankian chicken & plain naan - both were nicely spicy with a nice heat. I hadn’t had a date & ginger naan before - the waiter recommended it & it was...

We had an amazing experience at an authentic and fantastic Indian restaurant. The restaurant offered a unique street food experience that we hadn't come across at any other Indian restaurant in the Midlands area. The staff and owner were very helpful, discussing and recommending various...

This is the best Indian food we have ever had. Full stop. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and good service - but the menu and dishes speak for themselves. Takeaways are also great value with a discount on collection. Highly recommend to anyone in...

Derby is blessed with loads of great indian's but this one does something very different to the rest. Here it's all about street food starters that are presented and taste like you've stepped onto the set of Master chef. I recommend 3 or 4 starters...

Probably the best Indian restaurant we have been in. Food excellent, service excellent, decore excellent and a great atmosphere. If your in Melbourne Derbyshire you must visit this restaurant. The Goan Fish curry is superb.

Beautiful Indian dining! 5 star service, food and staff! Worth every penny. Will recommend to friends and look forward to returning! Gorgeous restaurant interior too.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Everything was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for Ibs. Second time visiting and as good as the first time, if not better! Visited with friends and they loved it also. Will be returning :)

Wow amazing place went daughters 30 th and Dads 86 birthday waiters were welcoming and couldn’t have done more Food was amazing Highly recommended

5* Food, 5* Service, 5* Ambiance. What a fantastic Indian food experience! A couple of notches above good Indian food eateries around here (NW Leicestershire). We were a party of 11 and were handled professionally and diligently throughout the evening. All of the courses arrived...

Food and service was 1st class, we will definitely be back!

Fantastic food, full of fresh ingredients with amazing flavours. Excellent, friendly service. People rave about Dishoom in London, but In my view Turaa is better.

Another great night at Turaa food excellent plates empty belly’s full Ibbs and the team hosted a fantastic night with a great vibe and company thank you

Top class in every way. We absolutely love it here! The food is another level, the service is amazing and the overall experience is great. If you want a high quality experience this is the place to go. We eat a lot of Indian food...

Absolutely amazing food. Could not recommend highly enough. Had the lamb shank. Gorgeous. Staff is very friendly.

Used to always go to red chilli in Derby....this place is better and on my doorstep

My second visit and again the staff were knowledgeable about their food and beverages and food was excellent, topped off by a lovely white wine which was recommended to us by the staff.

“Bringing the city into the country”. That’s how the manager described it to us when chatting at the end of the meal. Perfectly summed up. We ended up here by chance having googled nearby Indian restaurants to kegworth / donnington. We live in Markfield and...

Food was divine!! Service 5* and the decor is fabulous. An absolute must. Spent christmas eve here and it was perfect!!

So delicious and fresh! One of the best curries I’ve eaten! Authentic with a twist. I only wish this was closer to us as we’d go every week!

The food was among the best we've had from an Indian restaurant in the UK. The presentation was thoughtful and unique and the dishes deliciously spiced with plenty of flavour. We especially loved the chaat as starters. We were passing through but if we lived...

Wonderful Indian restaurant. Food was exceptional and the lamb dish I had was fragrant and tender. The owner came to our table and explained in detail the menu and was very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend and it is advisable to book in advance as it gets busy especially 7:00 onwards at at weekends.

The best Indian we’ve ever had. Not your traditional Indian restaurant, lots of different dishes. Fresh, flavourful and delicious. Loved it, we’re 20 mins away and we will definitely be regulars from now on. Staff very friendly and helpful, passionate about their food.

All tables were full on this Thursday evening. Beautiful tasting food with excellent attention to detail. Unique Naan with ginger and dates - outstanding! Wonderful service from the team. Would highly recommend.

First time I have been here and very impressed. 5 of us went for a late supper. Menu very extensive and clear. We had two Vegans in the party and there were plenty of choices for all of us. Service was charming and efficient. Food very good indeed and the atmosphere nice. Decor was quite different from many Indian restaurants and all the better for that. Overall a very good experience and I will be going again.

The food was amazing, brilliantly tasty! I hadthe Mumbai mixed grill which was fantastic! Along with the Indian Chip Butty as a starter. Absolutely gorgeous*****

The best Indian restaurant we’ve ever visited! Food was amazing, atmosphere great, staff attentive & very friendly. We were only in Melbourne for one night & very glad we chose Turaa to eat in. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back when we’re in the area again....

Booked for husbands birthday as never been before. Absolutely amazing food. First class service and treated like friends. Would highly recommend. Definitely be going back.

Amazing experience. Food was freshly cooked and the owner was very friendly. He talked to us about the history of the restaurant and made us feel very welcome. Would totally recommend and we will be back!

The overall experience at Turaa was exceptional from when we walked through the door until leaving the staff fantastic

Great atmosphere, lovely owner, great customer service, incredible food, beautiful decor what more you’ll you ask for

This is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to The menu is amazing especially the small plates of Indian street food .The staff are friendly and efficient nothing is too much trouble and they advise you on your choice.

Our first time here for Date night. Menu has a great range of food, we had Palak & kale chaat starter which was a taste sensation, Butter Chicken and Green Lamb Curry for main with a side of Temple Daal which was plentiful and again...

We went for the first time and I have to say it was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. The atmosphere is relaxed with plenty of room, not crammed in. The food was at a level above what we would normally expect, and the staff were both engaged and interesting people. Can't fault it.

Really interesting place Good food & choice

Felt very welcome and great food.

Amazing food, great service. Highly recommended! A delightful venue and warm atmosphere. A wide range of dishes available, with significant personalisation possible to cater to your culinary needs. The service was fantastic with great advice offering suggestions for new combinations of dishes to try. So...

Great food Best Indian restaurant I have been to in many a year. A hidden jem

We dined at Turaa to celebrate a birthday. What a great experience. Quirky decor, excellent service and delicious food. What more could you ask for. Will definitely return as the menu is quite extensive and needs working through.

Great food and service in a really cool converted mill. So many options on the menu, looking forward to going back again

Very friendly, welcoming service. Fantastic food and decor - we had a lovely family meal, appreciated the options for children’s meals as well.

Thank you Ibz for making me feel so welcome to come in and dine solo tonight. I am not from the area and found your place by chance driving through Melbourne this evening and so glad that I did! I will definitely be bringing friends...

Absolutely beautiful stunning presentation and food was amazing from the starter to dessert was definitely worth the drive

Staying in Melbourne for a couple of nights. Walked past this place last night & it looked so inviting we had to book to eat there during our stay. So glad we did! The food was delicious (we each had a curry bowl) and without...

This is the third time I have visited Turaa and every time I leave thinking what a special place it is. I try different dishes every time and come away with a new favourite on every visit. Beautifully presented in every way, with knowledgeable and...
