We’ll be coming again!Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options & look yummy tooParking: Lots of spaceKid-friendliness: Seems to be child friendly although we dont have children to bring… yet

The Lapsi spice Multicuisine Restaurant

Mmhmm is all I can say! We had such a wonderful meal at Lapsi, an authentic and personalized experience with expert recommendations and charming decor! Vegan and vegetarian friendly ? The Veg Manchurian was incredible, if I ate that everyday for the rest of my life I’d die happy. Spicy for people who like spicy ?️

Heavenly Desserts Derby

Karam was the most friendly, energetic server, really treated us well and made our experience heavenly! I will always come back for the Spanish iced saffron latte!

The Little Kitchen

A group of us were there last Sunday (24th March) for brunch. It was very busy so we were glad we'd booked. The staff were lovely, explaining there was a bit of a wait for food once ordered, but we didn't mind as we had lots to chat about. The food was delicious and plentiful, and we had time for a second drink before our ta le was needed for their second set of customers. They allow 90 minutes when busy, which is plenty really. As it was the newly arrived group decided to sit in the garden - the weather was gorgeous.I would definitely recommend The Little Kitchen as a comfy, friendly place to eat and socialise.

The Hideout Derby

Had such an amazing bottomless brunch experience. Madison delievered amazing service and can't wait to go again! Thankyou so much for a lovely time <3

Farmhouse at Mackworth

We organised a wake for my brother. The organisation went very well and the staff in the Folly were exceptionally helpful. We had a large number of people attend and the catering was very well done with additional chips coming out as needed.The setting is lovely and we will consider the venue for future events.A big thank you from our family.

Okra Indian Restaurant

The best Indian restaurant in derby without a shadow of a doubt. Can’t beat the quality of the food and the homely respectful service provided to every customer. I eat here around twice a week and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I have recommended the okra to large number of friends and family and will recommend this place to anyone that has not yet had the pleasure of eating here.

The Malt

Decided to stop here for lunch to break up our journey home. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We had the spring rolls, ham hock and donburi, with our little boy having the children's pizza. All of it was delicious and very reasonably priced! Couldn't fault any of it, just disappointed that we don't live closer. Hope to be passing by again soon!

Smash n Burger

Lovely and clean place if you want to eat in. Looks newly refurbishedFood is delicious and fresh. Chips are often overlooked at these places but these chips have the right texture and taste.Plenty of options if you like your beef burgers. But I would recommend the chicken wings and they are super tasty and the wings are bigger than you expect. My friend tried the veggie options and was surprised at how good it was.I also tried the smash box, which is plenty for one person and you get a selection of a few bits.Large choice of dips and saucesDietary restrictions: Halal, vegetarianParking: Back of the restaurant, remember to put your reg in at the restaurant!

The Dining Room

We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Never been there before, but we were really impressed by the food and the service. Good portion sizes too. We will definitely be going again. Not cheap, but worth it.

McDonald's

We received great service from Ruth today she sorted out our order and gave our grandson crayons and a colouring page nothing was to much trouble thanks Ruth merry

McDonald's

The food there is great! The place is generally clean and the staff there nice and plenty of room for people, no matter how small or big, just you or with friends and family. Take out or in. Really good quality and the speed for making the entire meal. Really enjoyed my visit.

McDonald's

Pretty much what you expect from a McDonald's fast food, Its bigger than most because of it location on the A38 it acts more like a motorway services only ever stopped here on journeys as its convenient place to grab drink or snack. The downside here is getting in and out of the carpark and finding entrance to the drive through without prior knowledge can be tricky.

Old Crown Inn

We had our daughters Christening at the old crown inn and I can’t recommend it enough. The staff were so kind and couldn’t do enough for us, the food was outstanding! Everyone was commenting on what a lovely pub it was. A proper traditional English country pub, the best service we have ever had! Fantastic!!!! 5+ stars, an asset to the community.

Pip Tree Café

Lovely atmosphere, good service. We came on a weekend and it was very busy, I recommend aiming for a relatively prompt lunch to beat the queue.I had the best Brie & Bacon pannini I have ever had.

The Brookfield

We came for a drink at night time, good atmosphere, played pool, average range of drinks. We then returned for breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was very good.Parking: Car park located at the back of the pub.

BEAR - Iron Gate, Derby

I went today and was served by Elliana and she was brilliant. I wasn't sure what to order and she talked me through different options, she patient and super helpful.I go to bear often and would definitely recommend

CANAL TURN

This is our second visit different staff same attention to detail, our waitress tonight was Megan she should run a college course on customer service, and teach people how to treat customers, don't know the name of our waitress last week but she was also excellent. Food really good and well presented, compliments to the chef, we eat out about twice a week, and a lot of places could learn from the canal turn. Keep up the good work,"we'll be back.lovely dinning experience.

The Book Café

Great vegan options! We had the breakfast and bhaji sandwich, both large portions and tasty. We tried to order on the app but there was no option to specify vegan, ordering at the counter was fine. Please keep the vegan options, especially the breakfast that doesn't revert to falafels .... ?

Shelton Lock Fish Bar

Actually never been in as I was working in the co op next door but all the customers and my colleagues that came in all say its amazing..my colleagues even went in for their dinner ! Will definitely try it!

POINTSIX Coffee House

great atmosphere and lovely coffee at a good price, I haven't tried the food yet but it looks tasty. I wish it was open Mondays cause nothing beats a nice coffee to start the

Shalimar Gold

By far the best Indian restaurant around this area, the food quality and flavours were wonderful, the prices are on the higher side but you get what you pay for! We can't wait to return here, highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

Sizzling Pig Café

Went tonight when it was the christmas light thing in spondon. Was very busy but they handled it well. Hope you have a well deserved drink this evening after the business. But well done to the team!

Coach & Horses

Good place for social contact with a goodrange of beers. Also have a jam night on the last Tuesday of every month where some great local musicians put on a varied free show (8-11pm)

The Viceroy

Visited the viceroy on midland road for its special offer throughout March and wasn’t disappointed x Freddie our waiter was polite and the service was excellent x thoroughly recommend .

Birds Bakery

Lovely local bakery, a must visit if you are in the area. Most towns in Derby/Burton have these shops. Our business recently moved so it's a local treat even closer to home!

Jaipur Restaurant

We had a selection of different curries, all of which were faultless. The tandoori chicken Chana Palak was particularly tasty. They were packed full of authentic flavour and didn’t leave you feeling horrendously full. Definitely one to visit if in Repton. The only slight negative is the restaurant could do with a decor update, but it is not tatty, and the staff are all friendly.

Miss Coffee Derby

Amazing bubble tea shop! The drinks are flavorful and made with high-quality ingredients. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of unique flavors, and the customizable options cater to diverse preferences. I really enjoy making my own type of bubble tea. A must-visit for bubble tea enthusiasts!

Pride Park Derby

While visiting Derby on Vacation and wanting to meet up with some family we hadn't seen for a while we chose the Harvester due to their large varied menu and location.We had a party of 8 and were seated quickly. I didn't love the booth we were sat in as it made it difficult for some people to get up and down during our meal and would have preferred a long table but whatever.The food was good for a chain and my Fish and Chips were exactly what I expected. Service was good with no drama and while one of the Desserts was forgotten they recovered well.Total bill was 135 GBP which for 8 people is pretty decent value.This isn't fine dining by any means but for a chain is one of the better choices.

MoonSha Japanese Bar and Restaurant

This was absolutely amazing. Me and two friends decided to go because it sounded good and had reasonable prices on the website but I’m pretty sure all three of us had a religious experience while eating the food here. The sushi was the best I’ve ever had, the ramen was delicious, and the food was brought out by a robot with a cat face and music!!! We loved it so much and will absolutely be coming here again

Zing Vaa Restaurant

I have a very acute gluten intolerance and have not enjoyed a Chinese meal of any kind for seven years, a real loss for me as my partner and son both really enjoy this cuisine. Tonight we enjoyed a fully shared meal expertly cooked with waiting and kitchen staff highly aware of knowledgeable of allergens. The Zing Vaa keeps separate fryers for gluten, non-gluten and sesame, ensuring their diners can enjoy the widest range of their menu at once. If you usually can;t eat Chinese food because of allergies give the Zing Vaa a go, I was more than impressed, and we will certainly be going back,

BEAR - Derbion

We had the full house breakfast, sweet potato latkes, and shakshuka. They tasted wonderfully, portion sizes were very good. Great quality, fresh ingredients, and good service. Recommended.

Gerard Street Fish Bar

An absolutely amazing place! Friendly staff, efficient service and fantastic food! The atmosphere is brilliant. This was our local chippie before we moved city but everytime we visit Derby, we try to stop in here for a bite to eat before our trip home.

Furnace Inn

Stopped by on Vegan night. Outstanding food. Savory snd spice without being too strong. Tapas style. Good size portions. Ordered 4 dishes for 18gbp and it was too much for two of us to finish. Definitely will be back. Had a bit of the Shiny Stout with dinner and it was a good fit.Vegetarian options: Had a whole menus of vegan tapas style food. Greasy and tasty. Some mimicked meat flavors surprisingly well.

BABY M

From a drag performers perspective Baby M is the perfect place for a gig located at 18 Sadler Gate it’s in the heart of Derby making it easy to travel to. A fantastic landlord and landlady, spotlessly clean pub and fabulous atmosphere, great choice of drinks especially their cocktail list. Would highly recommend this pub many thanks Matthew James Parkes (Miss Carrie Onlove).

The Posh Off-License (The Welcome Cafe)

Fantastic selection of any kinds of alcohol or cocktail you could ever want. A fantastic and friendly owner, who you could literally spend all day talking to. I cant recommend this place enough!They also stock Havana Cigars, and have a lovely garden area to smoke them. I wish i lived closer!

Darleys Restaurant & Terrace

I came for a solo lunch whilst visiting Derby and opted for the 7 course tasting menu. Each course was delicious, generous in portion size and full of interesting flavours. The highlights for me were the snacks, salmon and the coronation chicken. The service was extremely attentive and polite which enhanced my overall experience.

Krispy Kreme Derby

This delightful girl named *DANNI* who works here at Krispy Kreme in town centre truly stands out with her exceptional kindness and commitment to excellent service. Every visit is a joy as she goes above and beyond, making the experience not just about delicious doughnuts but also about the warm and welcoming atmosphere she creates. Her kindness is the secret ingredient that makes each visit memorable and delightful. Highly recommended for a sweet and heartwarming doughnut experience. Thank you Danni!

Costa Coffee

Costa, as always is a delightful experience. You get great tasting food and great drinks for generous prices. The gorgeous people there, also work hard to make sure nothing leaves the coffee machine, oven, kettle or blender, without making sure it's no less than a 10/10 for everyone. Love it.

Ideal Sweets

Really good service, quality food, quality people very welcoming and they have their own twists on there sweets and food recommend. A customer for life. By far the best in derby

chaiiwala Derby

Hi visited this place many times and had one again yesterday with my family .we ordered an item for kids but that wasn’t what they expected when it arrived but the lady who served at the till was very friendly and sorted the situation very efficiently…had an extra slice of cake as complementary…the lady who served us called Munica …an excellent staff member .Thank you

Forteys

We were visiting Melbourne and decided to visit Forteys for a coffee and a snack. We received a lovely warm welcome from the owners and thoroughly enjoyed our drinks and food. Would certainly recommend to other visitors to Melbourne. As well as their cafe, they also have a great selection of breads (we purchased some sour dough) and also gifts and cards.

NALAAS South Indian Restaurant

I ordered Masala Dosa, Chicken Biriyani, coffee and Mango Lassi. Everything were very tasty and really worth of money.Especially Masala dosa, I feel the exact taste of dosa in Uduppi Bevan in South India.Also the ambience and services was excellent.

The Brunswick Inn

Very good traditional pub, excellent range of alcoholic products across the range especially real ales. The menu range is wide ranging and well served. A very good public house all round.

The Quirky Cook

23.03.24Hi Kay,I just wanted to say "Thank You" for the lovely buffet that you provided for us this weekend. It was all extremely delicious and your customer service was great.It is the second time now that I have used your catering services and I wanted you to know that I would highly recommend you to any one of my friends and family in the future.Kind regardsL Archer

Sussex Circus Fish Bar

In my view these are the best fish and chips in this part of Derby. It's a traditional fish and chip shop, though you can get a kebab if you really want one. With fish and chips this good though why would you choose anything else. If you want a large fish, it's worth asking the friendly team to pop one in while you are in the queue since they don't always have some ready.

Steves@Etwall

Not an exaggeration, this is the best chippy in the world! I came in and ordered a chicken meat and chips and it was splendid! Staff were extremely friendly, especially Maria, Sotira and Georgia.

The Neptune

It's the Derby pub, no visit to watch the Rams ? is complete without a pint in here, such a great atmosphere here on match days, it feels like a pub should do, no false rubbish, just a good old fashioned proper

Corner Cafe

Absolutely the best cafe I have been to I couldn’t of asked for a more wonderful experience with great food and drinks and Liza who served me was exceptional a lovely smile and great hospitality and humourVegetarian options: I could not believe the range of vegetation options available I was extremely impressed with the quality and amount that you get

Aroma

First time visiting and we were very impressed would definitely recommend this cafe! Great coffee nice little touch with the metal straw in the iced coffee, the food was really good didn’t have to wait long and would come back to sample more from the menu

The Smithfield

Great pub, slightly off the beaten track. Wide selection of beers from traditional to craft. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Fabulous pint of Bass original. Highly recommend.

The Peacock Lounge

I had my babyshower here today and had the best time! The owners were extremely attentive and met our every request. And as for the food!!!! 10/10. I cannot recommend this place more. Thankyou so

The Argosy

Not enough staff to cope as It was busy and it took 15 minutes to get served and then another delay ordering the meal but all of the staff were polite and friendly,meals were excellent and will look forward to our next visit as the meal quality made up for any delaysParking: Easy to find location only minutes from A38 in Derby,decent size car park

Chequers Inn

I am not sure I can be objective in this case. I have a long and Chequers history starting from 1999 when I moved to Ticknall and Philip Heath, his piano, and the old crooners gathered on Saturdays to sing.It was magic.It's all a part of the history of the Chequers, and it's still a great pub. Walked there from Melbourne as part of a circle through Staunton Harold Reservoir and Calke Abbey.Now that's a good way to experience the Chequers.

The Merlin

I had a minor issue with my breakfast but April resolved it promptly and efficiently and turned what could have been a negative into a positive. Great customer service despite it being really busy and short staffed.

The White Horse

Had a good ska band on. Not my normal music taste but was good anyway. Quick service and good atmosphere. I didn't eat so can't say anything about the food.
