    Wow couldn't fault this place. From the moment we walked through the door too leavening. The staff was faultless very friendly and nothing too much of a ask. The food was superb and good portion sizes to, which we ended up taking home a doggie bag, this place left me with the feel good factor which topped my night off. Great parking too. Would definitely go back again soon.

    This is our favorite Indian, we travel from Chesterfield as there is nothing in Chesterfield that can beat this place. Beautiful freshly made food, delicious every time. Never had a bad dish and we have been loads of times. Very Highly Recommended.

    We had tried to book a table at short notice here before only living about 15 minuets away in Matlock but they were full but again leaving it last minuet so we ordered a delivery, well all I can say after that I really wanted to have a sit in meal and was not disappointed in any way. The staff were very polite and not in your face but were attentive to your needs. The food was truly in my opinion exceptional and worth every penny. I can't wait to go back again for our next treat. But if you have time all I can say is book early and give it a go I don't think you will be disappointed .
