About Nicco Restaurant & Bar
Nicco Restaurant & Bar is a contemporary Indian restaurant on Wheelwright Way in Derby, open daily. The kitchen serves tapas-style dishes alongside grills, street food and curries, with chicken lollipops as a starter. A cocktail bar and lounge runs next to the dining area, and a live singer performs in the evenings, so dinner and drinks come with live music. Indoor trees feature in the decor, and breakfast is served too. The calendar has included special events, among them an After Hours launch and a Motown Evening.

Customer Review Summary
Celebration meals draw the most praise here, with reviewers marking anniversaries and a birthday and singling out the server who looked after their table. Chicken lollipops and lamb chops are called delicious, and the cocktails are described as worth a try. Reviewers mention a vibrant atmosphere, friendly staff, a tastefully decorated restaurant with indoor trees, and a live singer. One returning customer describes the After Hours launch and a Motown Evening as well organised. Breakfast gets a mention too, along with a server described as upbeat and warm. The criticisms are milder and concern the food and the pace. One diner found the Amritsar fish and chips decent but short on salt, and the paneer small plate quite good but not spicy, with little garlic flavour. Another said service was slow on a busy match day, though they found that understandable. Celebrating diners received complimentary anniversary drinks and a cake board in one case, and a surprise treat after a birthday lunch in another.

“Really enjoyed our visit to Nicco Restaurant in Pride Park, Derby. The food was really good, the atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly. The only downside was the speed of the service, but it was match day, so it was understandable that they were particularly busy. Overall, we had a really nice experience and would definitely visit again!”

“The Amritsar fish and chips was decent. It could have done with more salt. The curried sauce came on the side and was decent. The paneer small plate was quite good. Not really spicy at all. There wasn't a particularly strong garlic flavour either. My mom got the chickpea curry and this was decent. Somewhat worth the price.”

“We had a great evening at Niccos. We came for an anniversary meal and Paula, our server, made the night seemless and magical. The food was amazing of course and the cocktails are definitely worth a try. 1am”

Thank you to Paula who was lovely throughout and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be returning.”
