  “Visiting from the US and just spending one night in Belper. Enjoyed a beautiful dinner after a recommendation from a local at the pub nearby. Even though we arrived within an hour of closing time, the extremely friendly host/server invited us upstairs for a sit-down dinner. The curry dishes were quite flavorful and the garlic and cheese naan was the star of the show.”

  “This is an absolutely fantastic Indian restaurant & takeaway. Food is fantastic, staff are exceptional (and are very good at recommending dishes based on what you tell them you like), the drinks are great (Cobra & a local IPA on draught) and the physical restaurant is lovely. A gem!”

  “Booked a table for 8pm and were told there'd be a 10-15 minute wait but they gave us menus to read. At 8.30pm I asked when our table would be ready and we were finally taken to it but then left another 10 minutes before they took our order. Food was excellent though. Some was left over so we asked for a doggy bag and we had to pack it ourselves rather than them offering. Complained to the waiter who talked over me twice. Appalling service. Such a shame”

  “Perfect meal and service tonight at The Elaichi. Kam and his team were fanatic. It was also a bonus that you could try 2 smaller curries, rather than 1 larger one. Will definitely be going back!”

  “Visited the Elaichi with a friend on Saturday evening. Booked a table in advance and enjoyed some lovely food. Good portions and the level of spice that we both requested. The restaurant itself is looking a little dated and unfortunately, despite spending £80 + tip on dinner, we were rushed out by the waiter so that the table could be made available. Despite empty tables elsewhere and the fact that we were in the middle of a drink. Such a disappointing end to the meal.”

  “My second visit here. Excellent food and service. Condiments served with the popadoms were fresh and flavorful. Main courses were delicious with juicy chicken and deep flavours. The Garlic Naan breads were light and puffy, and perfect for mopping up the left over sauce. Highly recommended.”

  “Absolutely fantastic place to go, all the staff are super friendly, courteous and helpful especially Kam. Unfortunately I am disabled and the restaurant is on the 2nd floor, which I couldn't manage, Kam had no problems arranging for us to eat on the ground floor, organising a table and chairs to be brought down. The array of different dishes is excellent but do state if you don't want something too spicy. They offer vegetarian options too. We went for a special meal and were made to feel very comfortable and happy. Unfortunately I ordered a chicken dupiarza (not sure of spelling) which I love but ended up being a chicken tikka dupiarza which I found a bit too spicy for my taste, along with a peswari naan and pilau rice which were all excellent. My son ordered a lamb shank meal which came with 2, literally falling off the bone, vegetables, pilau rice and a basic naan. When you arrive you are offered drinks and not wanting to ruin our meal didn't want a starter got given poppadoms with various dips, which were very nice. The whole experience was fantastic and we really enjoyed ourselves. They offer top class, heartfelt follow through making sure you are enjoying your time and are happy, they also offer take away but I'm not sure about delivery, it's spotlessly clean,thank you and top marks elaichi”
