The best restaurants serving Indian food in Ashfield East Midlands

Very popular obviously, since curry is one of our national dishes! We went around half 6, and it was packed with families and some very loud children. Asked about allergies & intolerances upon arrival, and given a special menu with vegan and gluten free dishes. Throughout the menu, items are marked as vegan anyway. I'm intolerant to gluten and not concerned about cross-contamination, though they fried our poppadoms in the allergy frier anyway, and sadly they tasted rather fishy. I ordered a korma and asked for a bit of spice, when it arrived it was red with the amount of chilli powder he'd put in. I spoke to the lovely waitress who offered to change it, but since I'd got exactly what I asked for, I declined. When I'd asked to "make it spicy", I meant spicy for a korma, but the chef made it spicy-spicy, would def have been represented by 3 chillies on the menu. Fortunately I'm OK with that level of spice, and the flavours were good. They do gluten free breads which is amazing and not common, and I had a decaf espresso to finish, but it was the vegan ice-cream which stole the show. Chocolate-orange deliciousness, rich & creamy, with tiny pieces of candied orange peel. Forget it's vegan and just order it, it's amazing. My companion eats everything and had veg korma with rice and naan, and was completely satisfied. Service staff were lovely, and I feel the standard 7.5% service included all over this Centerparcs site is not enough. Overall I'd recommend eating here, they go out of their way to be of assistance, though in my case I feel the chef over-delivered on what I asked of him. Oh, and the £70+ price-tag for no alcohol is definitely inflated, but that's standard at Centerparcs.

Placed an order via JustEat for delivery and was accepted 8:45pm, multiple texts came through stating that the order had been delayed- 4 in total. The final time frame for delivery was 22:50-11:20. Rang the restaurant and asked where our order was- the man on the phone explained that they had been extremely busy that evening due to the ‘big game’- England had in fact defeated Denmark the previous night and so there was no ‘Big Game’. He then went on to explain that the delivery driver was delivering a takeaway to an address in Newark - some 24 miles away from the takeaway/restaurant. Looked on their website and typed in a Newark postcode- it stated it did not deliver to this area. Staff could not give us a guaranteed time that it would be delivered by- as he changed his time 3 times- so we decided to cancel the order given that is was past 10pm and he couldn’t guarantee it would be here before 11pm. We now have to go through JustEat to get our money back- which doesn’t look likely. Would not recommend this place at all and will never attempt another delivery from their again. Zero stars if possible would have been given. Awful service and poor customer service on the telephone.
