Viceroy Duffield in Amber Valley

We were greeted warmly and shown to our booth. Drinks served quickly. The food was hot and very tasty and decent sized portions. I wasn’t sure which rice to have with my meal, but the advice I was offered was absolutely right. The waiters were very attentive and cheerful. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. The toilets were spotless. On the whole a very enjoyable experience.

Everything about this place is spot on. The tikka salmon starter a particular highlight. The service was perfect. Wasn’t an empty seat at 10.30 at night, you can see why. Excellent

Lots of unique dishes for a variety of tastes and spice levels!

Great. Always go to Viceroy and recommend Viceroy to others. Never let me down let and been a frequent visitor for 5+ years Zabir our waiter was a great help, can’t recommend highly enough

The boss is a legend. Fantastic food. Thank you.

Perfect as always and zaber was the best 🤩

Owner is a legend. Thank you and great food. The chap that delivers the food, I forget his name is the life and soul. Owner makes everything fantastic. Thank you.

Been using the place for years never had a bad meal yet and staff are excellent

A Monday night is never going to be busy, but two birthdays were being celebrated. The food was absolutely superb, with fantastic flavours and spice which were never dominated by heat. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, despite the various shenanigans of some of our crowd. Thank you very much for a great meal and for putting up with us!

Overall, disappointing. I had heard really good things about the Duffield restaurant but it's not a patch on the midland road restaurant. Service was steady, no customer care felt more like a cafe having food slapped down in front of you. Naan bread very thin. The food was OK apart from the thin naan but nothing special it certainly hasn't got the wow. The restaurant is tired and staff certainly don't go the extra mile like they do at their sister restuarant.

Excellent food and first class service. We visited on a quiet night and had a lovely time. We were delighted at the level of cuisine. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Best curry I’ve ever been to for a long time all stuff absolutely brilliant I will come again thank you.

Best Indian in Derbyshire. Always good. Service always amazing and super friendly. Our go-to.

Lovely both as a takeaway and sit in restaurant. Food travels very well and no drop off in quality when having as a takeaway. Reliable service, always get it right even when the order is large. Lamb is always fantastic, vegetarian options are also good. Great place to try new things as you know they will always be good. Great value for money as well - recommend it to everyone!

The flavour of food was very good but small meat portions within the curries. Small naan. Service could have been better. Somewhat disappointed on this Birthday visit.

varied menu, change from the normal offer. Quiet, spacious surroundings. Relaxing ambiance, attentive and friendly waiters. Excellent veggie starter. Reasonably priced including cocktails. Very good wine list. Plenty of parking.Will be back

The Viceroy never disappoints, another amazing meal to die for! The service was once again outstanding, from the moment we were greeted and throughout our meal. The staff are superb! So friendly and go out of their way to make everything perfect!

Unbelievable restaurant.. Been all over the country on business and this place is amazing. Food quality is outstanding. Best curry house in the UK and is truly award winning quality.

Really lovely staff and delicious food 😋

Lovely evening at Viceroy Duffield. Excellent menu with lots of choice. Restaurant busy but service still very attentive. Our waiter Yaman was very helpful with menu choices. I tried the papdi chat starter from the summer menu / deep fried spinach with yoghurt/ spices/ blueberries and pomegranate. Really tasty. Will definitely return.

We order a takeaway every Saturday night, the jumbo Tandoori King Prawns are the best in the East Midlands.

We come here regularly and are never disappointed. The menu offers an excellent range of choices and the food is always delicious and well presented. A very good selection of wines also. Mirza and his team are always welcoming, providing excellent service.

Beautifully cooked food, but more expensive than I remembered from previous visits, £40 a head ( poppadoms, one of the cheapest starters, two mains, two drinks each (beer, lassi)). Fish cooked gently to perfection, thoughtfully delicately spiced with flavoursome sauces and naan, not over-hot. Clear menu indicates how strong/spicy hot of each dish. I found the chair very uncomfortable, ok for husband but only if sit like a stol without touching chair back.

Yameem was a really great server. Recommended some great sides and looked after us well. Food was delicious, masala tea was great. Will definitely be going back again and taking some friends.

Great food and great staff, Yaman, was extremely cheerful and polite great guy

We think The Viceroy is easily the best Indian restaurant we have visited in Derbyshire. Excellent food, all seems freshly made, and served in a pleasant environment with helpful friendly staff. We highly recommend it.

AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING ATMOSPHERE. We have been coming to The Viceroy for 18/19 years weekly and every week it has never failed to amaze, it’s the only place that has stayed consistently good. I highly recommend to everyone. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. We recently tried the new summer menu and we were very impressed it excelled all expectation and if you are looking for a place to go with friends, family or colleagues it’s truly the place.

Excellent food, great service and friendly service.

We spent the evening with friends at the lovely Viceroy last night. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, the meal was absolutely delicious and the customer service was outstanding. Thank you so much, we will be back very soon!!

Great food. Different flavours and all great quality.

Thank you so much to everyone at Viceroy! I called to book a table for my family to celebrate my brother’s birthday and it was beyond any expectations I could have had. The service was impeccable and we were recommended starters and mains catered to our own individual tastes. An off-menu dish was even made for my brother who is vegan, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. At the end of the meal, a cake was brought out with singing from the staff and claps from the other customers. We all had a lovely time, the food was excellent and we fully recommend going to Viceroy for your next event or celebration.

Absolutely amazing food and service, can not wait to go back. Was going to book a long time ago but recent reviews weren’t great so put us off. Really glad we tried this place, quality of meat and overall best yet. Best curry we’ve had and we eat lots of curry places. 10/10 we will see you again.

We just LOVE the food and staff here, really great choice, lots of fantastic options. We visit this restaurant regularly and always have a first class experience.

Fabulous food and service Especially Yaman

Very friendly environment and service, completely customised to your taste preferences. Highly recommendable.

Great food friendly service. Rashid very helpful.

Yaman was fabulous and really looked after us - service world class, food off the charts, environment & atmosphere as good as it gets - this place is the bomb! You won’t be disappointed - Martin & Rachael

Just eaten here. Our waiter, Yaman, was great, food was amazing and the owner was walking around fist bumping the customers. Really nice atmosphere, really good meal. Thankyou

Always amazing friendly service and awesome food, time and time again.

Fabulous! Delicious food and attentive staff. Will be visiting again.

Great experience there we had a lovely time for my sister birthday and brough use our a cake for her bday I will defo recommend this place such lovely staff🥳🥳🥳

After booking a table in advance and explaining we have a baby with us, the staff were very accommodating and ensured we were seated away from the crowd so that the baby could be comfortable. Food was presented beautifully, served on time, and it almost felt like we had a waiter just for us - thats how good their service was. It's definitely a place to go again.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Shout out to Yaman (Could be spelt wrong). He was fantastic.

Excellent meal, with great service from Zaber. Wonderful experience.

Fantastic place! First time I have been and I will most definitely be back. Such wonderful food with great and friendly service, especially Zaber.

Service was a bit iffy, taking a while to actually get our food order sorted. But otherwise it was really good. We had a bunch of starters and mains, all seafood and vegetarian. The sea bass was excellent, as was the tandoori salmon. Would recommend.

Food was really good and service was fantastic, had a really good meal and enjoyable evening

Beautiful meal. Zaber was wonderful thank you

So... this was my first time here and we were having a meal in honour of my late grandad but the majority of the 7 people I visited with had been before, safe to say I won't be visiting again. The food was lovely but I service was awful, yes it was during Ramadan which I honestly understand BUT, why not get other people to come out on standby and take over whilst you break your fast to keep the service running smoothly? it took them 40 minutes to arrive with the starters after we had a poppadom and pickles each, 2 out of the 7 people me included had to wait until my other family members had finished eating their starters for ours to even arrive (I ordered the scallops and my brother ordered the mixed starter despite my dad ordering the mixed starter aswell which arrived with everyone elses) we then waited another 40+ minutes for our mains, I then had to wait a small amount of time extra for my seabass whilst other people were eating at our table. There was what looked like a hair in one of the starter dishes and the server said it was from one of the brushes. Fine. But then to top it off the waiter stepped on my dad's foot twice but was very apologetic so we shrugged this off and carried on with the meal. Not worth the almost £350 we spent in total and I honestly feel so let down with this place and this is supposed to be high end? Not a chance. My parents and brother have visited previously and have enjoyed it but we're very disappointed with the service this time around and I don't think anyone will be returning which is a shame because the food was nice but not top quality. A couple also arrived shortly after us waited over an hour for their food which didn't arrive so they walked out absolutely fuming which really put the cherry on top of everything that had happened last night. Not happy at all, I suggest people go elsewhere and spend your money.

We arrived early Thursday evening. What a well laid out restaurant. The food we ordered was mainly lamb, both starter and main course. We were able to enjoy half of it in the restaurant, but due to my wife having Blood Cancer, her Chemotherapy leaves very tired, so we had to leave half way through our meal. However it was all packaged up, and we took it to our hotel and enjoyed the rest of it on Friday. It was truly delicious. Thank You to everyone who served us and cared for us, we appreciated your thoughtfulness and kindness. We did truly enjoy the Viceroy experience and we hope one day return. Michael and Gloria

We usually order takeaway from here, but decided to treat ourselves and eat in. Food was lovely and our server Zaber was excellent!

Zabarfc was a good waiter, accommodating and a good host. Food was good, atmosphere was casual yet slightly refined.

The most delicious food I have ever tasted in the UK. Great Management and best team work. The taste is a mix of Indian and Bangladeshi food. The most famous south Asian curry, rice and naan cuisine. special drinks and salad. Sometimes the discount on food gives surprise. free parking and hospitality are also good to be mentioned.

We went as a party of 7 and we all had an excellent curry experience. Zaber was our main server and we received great customer service. I would give the food a 5 star but overall I scored a 4 as I do think it’s a little expensive and the tables are packed in quite tight. I would definitely recommend.

I cannot recommend the Viceroy enough! The food is delicious and the service is always incredible. Hassen served us this evening and it was wonderful. Very attentive! To all my gluten free friends… this place is exceptional!

Eat there often and have takeaways, bever had a bad meal.

Viceroy is what curry is about. I have eaten a lot of curry in my time… a lot. There are different tiers an Indian restaurant can sit at, from your traditional ‘British’ Indian restaurant in middle England to an upmarket pernickety Indian frequented by the metropolitan elite (less my vibe). Viceroy grabs the former by the scruff of the neck and smashes it into outer space. Viceroy is not just a good local curry house, it is – without a doubt – one of the best Indian dining experiences I have had in the UK. Not convinced? Please read on… you will be.. I arrived at Viceroy, it’s carpark is very busy, a testament not only to the high degree of car ownership in the area but also to its popularity. My friend had to do a very difficult reverse park under pressure round the corner. I was impressed. My evening only got better from here. The inside of the restaurant is reminiscently 1990s – big and carpeted. I love it. It not only makes for a busy and lively setting where you still have space around the tables but also took me back to family trips to restaurants during my youth (the early 2000s when everything was better and young people could buy houses). As I enter a mental space of nostalgia and fresh Indian spices, a single tear falls into my chicken pasanda… Sorry, I’m skipping ahead. Joking aside, the ambience works – it is no-thrills conference furniture bling and booths – but it just works. I sit down. “Cobra beer sir?”. Three words I want to hit me in the face while I assess how many poppadoms I think it is socially acceptable to order. “Yes, please” I respond as I flick through the War & Peace of menus – options, options, options. I opt for four poppadoms between me and my friend. It is a modest amount to be sure but I know I can eat faster than him so will easily get through three while his indecision bogs himself down in the menu: a rookie. In truth, I don’t even need the menu (I often ask waiters in Indian restaurants to not bring the menu so I can show off my extensive knowledge of the suisine). It’s my first time here so I go with my entry level assessor choice: a paneer starter, then a chicken pasanda (yes there was a spoiler earlier) and a peshwari naan (the Kate Middleton of naan breads). I gaze out, people-watching at the other diners, creating backstories in my mind for their lives and jobs, developing them into complex characters. One poppadom down. For one table, I pretend the big table of lads are having a lads curry before a big lads night out in Duffield (what lads). I overhear them talking about football. It only adds to my story. Two poppadoms down. For another table, I see it as a mum’s 60th birthday celebrations with friends and family, discussing how their kids are getting on and holiday plans for the year. They are too far for me to corroborate this but I know I will take an obscure route to the toilet later to eavesdrop. Three poppadoms down. I suppose what I am saying from this is that Viceroy really is a restaurant for everyone. We order. I’m very excited by now. The Cobra is complimenting my paneer makhani like a fine wine in a Paris restaurant (I smile knowing that I am not in the eurozone). This is living. Then, it happened. The woman sat behind me accidentally dropped a piece of lamb (vindaloo by the colour) down her top, her décolletage funnelling the failed mouthful into the very bowels of her blouse. The mechanics of her trying to remove it become a slight distraction as the plates are cleared to make way for the main. Excitement reigns. I know what you are thinking: “did you not order rice?”. No, no I didn’t. I don’t need rice. Why would I order rice when I can order bread or additional sides or maybe even two mains for myself (I have done it before and I WILL do it again). Anyway, I just don’t need it or want it. Peshwari naan is lit so I use that as my carb. I often have it second day for breakfast with jam. It’s great but I have never had heartburn like it. I digress. My main arrives. Still no sign of the rogue lamb escapee at the table next to us but I am sure she will find it later. Both mains were great. Decent portion size. Seminal naan. What more do you want? I sit there and take it all in: my food, my friendship, the large carpeted room. A tear rolls down my cheek. This is food. This is living. I will cut my story short there to keep it under 900 words (yes you have been reading for that long), but what I will say is go to Viceroy. It is exceptional. I firmly believe that Duffield is on the verge of becoming the food capital of the Amber Valley, if not the whole of the British Isles. I live in London and I am considering visiting Duffield soon to alleviate my Viceroy cravings soon. Next time I am in Derbyshire I am there and I hope you will be too after reading this.

Came on valentines. Wasn't expecting a set menu but was pleasantly surprised by the verity of dishes. Would have liked a few more verities of traditional desserts. Overall really enjoyed our evening.

Booked for valentine's and the restaurant went all out amazing decorations an amazing menu that was great value and all tasted and looked amazing. Fantastic service from all the staff and the food was amazing definitely a step up from a normal Indian restaurant. The place to go for a special occasion.

It was fantastic, genuinely. They had an AMAZING selection of all Indian curries and meats with fantastic generous portions. They were funny, kept checking up on us to see if we wanted anything, I can't think of a better place. Beautiful interior, spacious car park, and will have a spot on my heart as that place in Derby, the best Indian cuisine is viceroy, run don't walk for an affordable place to eat with heartwarming food ( they also have a never ending alcohol selection for the people who drink) the service was fast, food was hot and fresh definitely worth it and I recommend! And I left with balloons as a nice gift. The food wasn't perfect and I only put4/5 stars for the food I wish I could put 4.5 , this is because I ordered seafood and I not necessarily a fan of sea food however it did taste nice 😋 with vegan options and it's halal. Less than £130 for 6 hungry people 😂

As usual we had a lovely Indian meal at The Viceroy. Staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Thank you to all the staff, Hassan!

As ever, there was a warm welcome at the Viceroy. Hassan took time to chat about Pakistan and ask about us - very pleasant young man. Food brilliant - so tasty and not just the usual curry house menu. Great choice and beautifully presented.

Amazing service, we had lots of different waiters including a lovely personality who delivered the food! Hassan was one of our servers as well. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely and overall really impressed for my visit here. Family we took with us loved it even more and plan to arrange more meals here! Would definitely recommend it, a lovely evening!

The food is highly recommended and our waiter Hassan was polite and helpful

First time and definitely not the last! Beautiful place and food. Hassan was our server, 10/10. No complaints whatsoever. Really polite and attentive. Thank you!

Excellent meal in excellent surroundings. Can’t fault anything about our evening, beautiful food and excellent service from Hassan. Will definitely be back.

Definition of scran. Also what a go-to place for the best Indian. Shoutout for Hassan for service.

Lovely meal!!! Special thanks to Hassan for the excellent service and Merzer. Food was excellent and lovely atmosphere as always THE PLACE TO BE xx

Great food as usual and Freddy was an amazing host. Quick service and very respectful.

Really good service thanks to our host Hassan, great food. Not rushed at all. Worth every penny.

Food is nice. Service was great. Hassan is the man, best waiter in the world.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Viceroy Indian restaurant in Duffield, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that set the stage for a memorable evening. One of the highlights of my visit was the outstanding service provided by Hassan, our waiter. From the beginning, Hassan's genuine smile and friendly demeanor made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer. He patiently guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations and explaining the flavors and ingredients of each dish. Not only was Hassan knowledgeable about the menu, but he also displayed an impressive attention to detail. His efficient and professional service truly enhanced our dining experience. Every dish we ordered was an explosion of flavors and spices, each one expertly prepared and beautifully presented. From the aromatic Paneer Tikka Masala to the rich and spicy King Prawn Madras, every bite was a delight for the senses. The chef's culinary skills were truly showcased in each dish, and it was evident that only the freshest and highest quality ingredients were used. The Viceroy Indian restaurant in Duffield is not just a place to eat; it's an experience that transports you to the vibrant and diverse world of Indian cuisine. I highly recommend the Viceroy Indian restaurant in Duffield to anyone looking for a truly authentic Indian dining experience.

Great service from all the staff. Very special welcome from everyone..especially Adnan and Freddie. One of our favorite places to go out in Duffield and Derby

My husband & I ate at the restaurant on Sat 13th Jan. We ordered Champagne & Chablis & the whole meal came to around £200 for the two of us. We were told 4 times after one hour an 40 minutes that other customers were waiting for our table. We had half a bottle of Chablis still to drink. My husband also received the incorrect meal. He specifically order a dish without mushrooms. The dish arrived with mushrooms. The staff member just shrugged this off. A few weeks before this I must say we had an excellent meal & received service likewise. However we have now been left very disappointed. If I could suggest that the restaurant should set customers expectations if they are going to need the table back & that a spend of £200 for one hour and 40 is not acceptable.

I have been to Viceroy a number of times now and we are never disappointed. The food is always on point and the vibe is amazing. This specific time was on NYE and although the restaurant was full and busy with not only dine in but takeaway too, we still had waiters attend to us and make sure we were ok. I want to mention Hassan specifically as he was very friendly and welcoming. I have to say this is probably the best curry house i have been to within my area of where I live. Although its a 25 minute drive, it's well worth venturing out to Viceroy. Its a higher priced restaurant compared to others, but well worth the money. 10/10 would recommend.

Food was stone cold. Naan bread was so tough and I doubt it'd had been made that day.

Absolutely fantastic food and service used this place today Christmas day and various days throughout the last 15 years never had a bad meal or experience would highly recommend it

Great food, great service, recommend the desi Lamb, spicy but extremely flavourful, looked after the group

One of the best Indian restaurant in Derby. All the foods that we have ordered is absolutely delicious and every bite is full of flavour. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food. Service was impeccable. 5 star ⭐️ thank you x

Amazing service with great friends

Brilliant service, the food was absolutely lovely. Staff couldn’t do enough for you, definitely recommend

Lovely food and great server hassan, very impressed would recommend

Always a favourite when travelling to Derbyshire. Food is always good and the Staff are always polite and helpful, especially Hassan.

The place was very busy but the service was absolutely shocking we’d reduced our table from 9 to 5 people which should have made it easier it didn’t. Drinks took 20 minutes the waiter thought 6 popadoms would be enough for 5 people! We had to ask 3 times for a jug of water which is usually standard for a table. We waited over an hour and 20 minutes for our mains and when we queried this they said ‘well that tables been waiting 2 hours!’ As if that was an answer we said well that’s on you and bad service. They kept saying they were so busy which wasn’t our problem and did not want to listen to a group of women. Very arrogant. The food was very nice thankfully but not once did anyone ask us this. Also the amount of times they knocked into our chairs. We spoke to the manager again didn’t want to know and knocked 20% off the bill we didn’t tip and won’t be going back.

The food, service and whole experience was superb. What we especially loved was that we didn’t feel at all rushed and the courses were well paced. Thank you :) we will be back soon!

Amazing food and service! Thanks Hassan. Fé & Gary

Fantastic food Fantastic service especially from our waiter Hassan . Definitely try for yourself.can’t recommend enough. Thank you guys .

the staff were really polite the atmosphere was really lovely and the food was really amazing I had the chicken tikka masala it was so yummy If your in the mood for an Indian dine in definitely head down to the viceroy

Lovely food, very attentive staff

Let me break down my 1 star rating review. My order was a Lamb Lal Maas with a Garlic & Cheese Naan. Let’s start with the Lamb. The colour of the meat was very unappetising. The Lambs meat colour was stained brown/yellow; looking old & discoloured from its usual bright pink look. However, to the groups discussion, they blamed this colouring of the Lamb to the curry stains on the meat; it honestly looked as though it had been sat there for weeks on end, & the taste most definitely proved this thinking back now. To add even more insult, the majority of the lamb meat was just clumps of off-cuts, & there were very limited amounts of actual lamb chunks. Which in my case a good thing. However, for a normal customer, you wouldn't be too pleased, as they’re very stingy on their potion servings, with tubs half full! The Naan. How this is cooked is very important for making any curry, & what I received was an uncooked, floppy, broken down naan bread. Now, I knew not to expect the world from a naan, but come on; if you can’t cook a naan right, then you are struggling as a Indian Restaurant. In addition, the price of this place is absolutely ridiculous compared to every other Indian restaurant too. The concluded was what you would have expected from what I described… That’s right, food poisoning… Not just the odd bout either, but numerous of times throughout the night. & Too make matters worse, I wasn't the only one of the group either... The food was clearly old, stored incorrectly & is cross contamination. A surprise visit from the food hygiene rating industry, I’m sure would prove this. This place really does cut corners; thinking more about themselves & cost saving; short cutting every chance they can, rather than thinking of the customers & the quality of the food. I would highly recommend you avoid this restaurant , as I'm sure one day you'll end up like myself, so if you don’t fancy a day on the toilet, avoid! If you want a real Indian restaurants, with no food poisoning, I would highly recommend The Viceroy in Derby. Never ordering from here again!

Come with my family regularly, food is always amazing and staff are lovely and helpful!

Freddy hosted. As always great food and service. Viceroy Duffield is our “go to” Indian restaurant.

We had an amazing takeaway here, excellent food, tikka masala had plenty of chicken, and when I went in to collect they were very helpful even though they were busy

Extremely courteous, brilliant service and fantastic food. Great variety of options and able to cater to every need.

Lovely dinner special thanks to Zaber food was amazing and great drinks. Starters were excellent and a really lovely atmosphere .

Delicious meal and fantastic service! Friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. Sadly car park was full but that says it all!!

We chose the Viceroy in Duffield for a special family birthday. We’ve dined at the restaurant many times and I have to say, tonight was really lovely. The staff have always been extremely welcoming to me and my family but this evening nothing was too much trouble and as usual the food was exceptionally good. Thank you so much to Mirza and the rest of his excellent team 😊 we will be visiting again very soon

The food at this restaurant is very good. It is always full of flavour and not too hot. The relaxed ambience and good heating make it a very comfortable experience. Hasan our server was very attentive. The Christmas decorations around the entrance were very welcoming...

Extremely disappointed with our experience at Viceory. We went for a family meal on Saturday 2nd December, booked well in advance and when we arrived we were told we are seated upstairs. We have visited Viceory on number occasions and there’s never been a 1st...
