My first Indian food experience has most likely spoiled me because I may never find Indian food or service this good again. I had the Jalpati chicken with lemon rice and some plain naan. The green and red chiles set this dish off perfectly! Everything was tasty and the staff was very attentive and gracious. I highly recommend this restaurant whilst in Derby.

The first time we were served well and the chicken shashlik they brought us out on a hot stone. The second time, we were seated at a dirty table and I asked to wipe the table to keep it clean. We ordered a chicken shashlik and a king prawns shashlik. This time they brought to us just in plates, not on a hot stone . We also ordered papadam which they brought burnt and had hair. There are no salt, pepper, paper napkins on the table.

Lovely place. Friendly staff, had popadoms and pickle tray which was very nice. I had chicken chat and it was really tasty and we'll presented. My husband had a mixed starter with lamb, chicken and a butterflied prawn and he liked that. We shared a chicken jalpathia as we wouldn't have been able to finish if we had a curry each. It was delicious, it was hot with green chillies from the jalfrazi, and hot sweet and sour from the pathia. We had a plain naan with it and there was plenty. Really enjoyed all the food, wish there was a spice lounge in Rotherham. Would highly recommend this restaurant
