The best restaurants serving Indian food in East Midlands

Edit 1/12/2024 Really shocked by some of the recent reviews that were really concerning so I ordered a takeaway to see if the quality of the food was as was described in other reviews. Ordered a lamb biriani which came with a vegetable curry side dish. Ordered a stuffed parata as extra and need not have been concerned. Plenty of lamb in the dish and super tasty as usual. Roll on Christmas day and looking forward to our reservation at Huthwaite Tandoori. Edit 13/04/2024 Nothing has changed here. Perfect food and great hospitality from owner and all of his staff. Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx ................................................... This curry house was out of this world. Beautiful food at very good prices. And such attentive staff with brilliant manager. Thank you all for such a wonderful evening and my family and I will see you very soon. Update 06/04/21 The restaurant is still doing takeaways and a delivery within 5 miles. I live 7 miles away, but when I got home the food was actually still sizzling when I opened the containers up. I kid you not! And the food was just divine. Lamb biriani, vegatable curry, bombay aloo and a porata x 2 Thanks to the friendly staff that cooked it all up

Went to get some snacks, good as usual.

Hussain was an absolute star, couldn't do enough for us. Was walking nearby, the smell of the cuisine, could not be ignored. Food is first class, menu choices epic, wine very well priced too. Can't wait to come back, brilliant all round!

Our family friends had an amazing meal last night at Indian Nights, 7 of us in total, the team there looked after from the moment we arrived and throughout the meal. The food came out in a timely manner, was piping hot, all of us really enjoyed our meals, full of flavour. The Chef also made us a complimentary vegetable Pakora which was delicious. The service was first class, really attentive and friendly staff. We will definitely be going back.

This Indian is honestly the best takeaway I've ever had in the 8 years I've been in carlisle. I'm usually a korma girl but they have a wide selection of mild dishes so I've started ordering random dishes and I've no complaints. Delivers on time and polite on the phone. The dishes with cheese are amazing. The starters are tasty and mild. Just like it says on the menu. Salad is fresh and you get enough sauce to compliment dish. A taxi driver gave me the menu. Thank you Mr taxi driver

Food was ok. Wasn't really wowed by this place. Decor and atmosphere again was just adequate.

Excellent food, one of the best curries I’ve had for a long time. Reasonably priced too.

Just had my order but unfortunately very disappointed I ordered a set meal for two and a bag of chips we didn't get any rice or poppadoms and the food was bland

Order from here for delivery often and always spot on. Today was really impressed despite the storm delivery driver came back after 15 minutes to deliver a dessert that had been missed on the initial delivery. We didn’t phone up about it as we weren’t too fussed we just wanted to try it as it sounded good, but without us even asking the driver came back out in poor conditions to redeliver the ice cream they’d missed. Really good, friendly service on both occasions and very grateful to the driver for coming back out in the tough weather. Food is always great from here, particularly love the lamb bhuna, packed with flavour, mushroom rice and garlic and cheese naan also delicious and great portions. Can’t fault it.

Now called Ghurka spice. Gorgeous food lovely service and the chef even came out to check we were enjoying our meal and he’d got it right. 2 poppadams between us and then we share a starter, main, rice and bread. With 2 alcoholic drinks it came to £37.50. Recommended

Lovly food very friendly aswell i had lamb madras keema rice nan poppadoms chutney onoin bhaji all was very nice and the buffet they do on sundays are very nice aswell jighly reccomend this place

Just had another fabulous meal. Thank you

Liked it, very authentic, staff were great, treated us to an extra poppadum with a new pickle they were trying it was very good. Food wise we went East African inspired dishes, lamb and chicken. Wife thought there was not enough lamb, mine was fine. Lovely spicing. Very good.

As ever, Abdul and his team served up a fantastic meal, definitely the best curry house in Glossop and the surrounding area.

Nice enough restaurant but the chef was our waiter and wore blood stained dirty apron while bringing our food…. Very off putting.. not very attentive and food salty. Only people eating in, and felt like we phone orders were more important. Wouldn’t return or recommend I’m afraid, maybe just a quiet night but enough to put us off and for me to leave this review.
