The best restaurants serving Indian food in East Midlands

Eaten in several times and very happy with both service and food. However, £60 on a takeaway last night and it was very, very poor. Bland, luke warm, over oily generally Yuk!

Ordered a meal from Simla and was informed via email it was being prepared only then 40mins later I receive a message informing me order had been cancelled without any explanation! I tried to call restaurant but no answer at all, I have also emailed and still received no explanation. I'm also still awaiting refund! Absolutely appalling and would not order ever again its a shame because this place used to be good but sadly gone downhill!

I've have had some nice food but last night's food was horrible. The chicken tikka masala was like half bottle of ketchup mixed with half bottle of vinegar and poured on the chicken. It was runny and tasted awful. The rice was cold and hardly any mushrooms in it & the chips were like Mcain oven chips also cold and we collected. Was expensive but I didn't mind if it was worth it. We won't be ordering again 😒

So frustrating, we ordered take away at 7pm NYE expecting a delay but over 2hrs later it's not arrived and they haven't answered the phones. They took the money and the customer service has been awful. Be honest, what kind of service is this? Very frustrated.

My only regret is that I haven’t dropped at this restaurant after driving past so many times. The food is brilliant and stands out against many other curry houses I’ve frequented. The menu is diverse and interesting as well as featuring firm favourites. The peshwari naan was particularly enjoyable and the staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Possibly a bad night but the two portions of Lamb Tikka which arrived late were hated by both diners as it was rock hard and tough even when cut with difficulty Told when complaining that noone had ever complained before and it was perfect and as it should be. . .. what? Supposed to be inedible?this arrogance really annoyed us.If this was a first ever complaint a refund should have been offered not a denial and rudeness. I will not be trying them again Good reviews are their old reviews Some say it's gone downhill since then.

Was excited to try as we’d heard good things about it. What a let down, really poor quality Indian food with very little taste. Part of the order missing which was blamed on the waitress even though we told the manager/chef that she’d taken the Irene down correctly so wasn’t her fault and then an extra £30 stuck on the bill for drinks that were not ours. Won’t be going back.

Tasty food. Excellent service. Tried one of their traditional Bangladeshi Specials and it was delicious. Glad to hear they do home delivery too.

Amazing takeaway, so glad we tried it, so delicious, phone order easy and so friendly and helpful, fast delivery, and lovely and hot on delivery and sooooo tasty. We will be back

Now Spice Cottage, I ate on Friday with a friend and it was truly delicious. My mate ordered phall which isn’t even on the menu, I had a chef’s special that I hadn’t heard of before and after being told it was quite spicy they turned down the temperature to a bit below madras which the waiter suggested to me. Starters were ace too, bread and rice tip top. Also the wine was cheap because you take your own!

Real disappointment. Was looking forward to the takeaway as had seen the other reviews raving about the restaurant. Unfortunately the onion bhaji was burnt and in edible but worst of all the curry was bland and the chicken was dry. Wont be ordering again!

Place is dirty, old and hygiene looks poor. Food was cold and stacked with oil. Probably worst indian food i have ever tasted. Rude and ignorant servers/host.

Good clean place with nice quality food

The first time we have eaten here, although they have been our go to take away for many years, food as usual was excellent but it was so much better with great service and not having to wash the pots!
