  “Very delicious, yummy food and really big portions. We had lamb shank, lamb chops, sirloin steak and chicken tikka. All meat very tender. Great decoration inside the restaurant and fab music. Easy to talk. Yummy mocktails. Thank you Zahra to look after us😊Highly recommended 👌”

  “Excellent Dragon Rolls. No licence, so only alcohol free beer (Peroni - not bad to be fair), soft drinks etc. Service ok. Weren't offered coffees after our meal so went next door to Costa. Music a bit loud inside, but too smoky to sit outside.”

  “Visited for the first time with a friend and we had brunch. I had Eggs Royale and my friend has Avo on toast. Dishes are well priced and the food was delicious. Loved the decor and seating inside. The outdoor terrace looked nice but there was a lot of noise made by the traffic. Casey, our waitress was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this place.”

  “The managers set the tone right away. Every visit starts with a genuine welcome that makes you feel like a regular, even on your first time. Shoutout to waiter Zahra – attentive, quick, and never without a smile. She knew the menu inside out and timed everything perfectly without hovering. That kind of service elevates the whole meal. Exquisite and delicious isn’t an exaggeration here. Flavors are balanced, plating is thoughtful, and portions hit that sweet spot between generous and refined. Every dish we tried was cooked with real care. Right in the heart of Derby city, so it’s easy to get to whether you’re shopping, catching a show, or making a night of it. I’ll definitely be back again. The Nines nails the combo of warm hospitality, top-tier service, and food worth talking about.”

  “I went on a Thursday night on my own as I was in Derby for work. It was very quiet and only had a few people. The staff were very friendly and the food was very nice. I would happily visit again and will recommend to anyone else travelling to the office. My waitress was Zahra. I had the paneer starter and the spinach curry. Unfortunately I couldn't eat it all, I should have just had a main.”

  “Visited this restaurant for dinner on a Saturday evening. It wasn’t too busy, so service was quick and the staff were attentive overall, although I did have to ask for ketchup twice because it was forgotten the first time. The food was average at best. I ordered the chicken Parmesan — the menu states that the chicken is marinated overnight, but the dish came drenched in sriracha mayo. The sauce was very overpowering and completely masked the marinade, so I couldn’t really taste it. While the chicken was cooked through properly, it still lacked flavour overall. My friend ordered the steak and was disappointed with it. She said it didn’t taste fresh, and despite ordering it medium well, it was tough, chewy, and difficult to cut. One major let-down was the soft drink selection — they only offered Coca-Cola company drinks. At a time when there are plenty of alternatives available, that felt quite limited and disappointing. Overall, I’d give it a 3/5. The food was edible and the service was decent, but nothing really stood out or made us want to come back.”

  “We are a group of 6 people, want to find a place to sit and drinks. The Nines provides shared platter, we choose Meat and Sushi platter. Besides we ordered the famous mocktail drinks, which both taste and appearance is excellent. The overall atmosphere and food quality is fantastic!”

  “The Google reviews and stars sure don't lie! We finally managed to go and try the foods here. We ordered The Nines Mixed Platter and it was fabulous. Loved the masala fries, chicken wings, firecracker chicken. Casey our server was lovely and nice. The service was very quick too. Will definitely come back here. The place has a nice ambience too.”

  “I've been a loyal customer, visiting several times for breakfast, which has always been amazing and on point! However, on this most recent visit, I arrived too late for breakfast and ordered from the main menu instead. Unfortunately, the food I received was disappointing and, in my opinion, overpriced for the quality. I hope the kitchen can bring the same high standard they apply to their breakfast service to their other offerings.”
