The Viceroy Duffield — Restaurant in Amber Valley

Let me break down my 1 star rating review.

My order was a Lamb Lal Maas with a Garlic & Cheese Naan.

Let’s start with the Lamb. The colour of the meat was very unappetising. The Lambs meat colour was stained brown/yellow; looking old & discoloured from its usual bright pink look. However, to the groups discussion, they blamed this colouring of the Lamb to the curry stains on the meat; it honestly looked as though it had been sat there for weeks on end, & the taste most definitely proved this thinking back now.

To add even more insult, the majority of the lamb meat was just clumps of off-cuts, & there were very limited amounts of actual lamb chunks. Which in my case a good thing. However, for a normal customer, you wouldn't be too pleased, as they’re very stingy on their potion servings, with tubs half full!

The Naan. How this is cooked is very important for making any curry, & what I received was an uncooked, floppy, broken down naan bread. Now, I knew not to expect the world from a naan, but come on; if you can’t cook a naan right, then you are struggling as a Indian Restaurant.

In addition, the price of this place is absolutely ridiculous compared to every other Indian restaurant too.

The concluded was what you would have expected from what I described… That’s right, food poisoning… Not just the odd bout either, but numerous of times throughout the night. & Too make matters worse, I wasn't the only one of the group either...

The food was clearly old, stored incorrectly & is cross contamination. A surprise visit from the food hygiene rating industry, I’m sure would prove this.

This place really does cut corners; thinking more about themselves & cost saving; short cutting every chance they can, rather than thinking of the customers & the quality of the food.

I would highly recommend you avoid this restaurant , as I'm sure one day you'll end up like myself, so if you don’t fancy a day on the toilet, avoid!

If you want a real Indian restaurants, with no food poisoning, I would highly recommend The Viceroy in Derby.

Never ordering...

So... this was my first time here and we were having a meal in honour of my late grandad but the majority of the 7 people I visited with had been before, safe to say I won't be visiting again. The food was lovely but I service was awful, yes it was during Ramadan which I honestly understand BUT, why not get other people to come out on standby and take over whilst you break your fast to keep the service running smoothly? it took them 40 minutes to arrive with the starters after we had a poppadom and pickles each, 2 out of the 7 people me included had to wait until my other family members had finished eating their starters for ours to even arrive (I ordered the scallops and my brother ordered the mixed starter despite my dad ordering the mixed starter aswell which arrived with everyone elses) we then waited another 40+ minutes for our mains, I then had to wait a small amount of time extra for my seabass whilst other people were eating at our table. There was what looked like a hair in one of the starter dishes and the server said it was from one of the brushes. Fine. But then to top it off the waiter stepped on my dad's foot twice but was very apologetic so we shrugged this off and carried on with the meal. Not worth the almost £350 we spent in total and I honestly feel so let down with this place and this is supposed to be high end? Not a chance. My parents and brother have visited previously and have enjoyed it but we're very disappointed with the service this time around and I don't think anyone will be returning which is a shame because the food was nice but not top quality. A couple also arrived shortly after us waited over an hour for their food which didn't arrive so they walked out absolutely fuming which really put the cherry on top of everything that had happened last night. Not happy at all, I suggest people go elsewhere and...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Viceroy Indian restaurant in Duffield, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that set the stage for a memorable evening.

One of the highlights of my visit was the outstanding service provided by Hassan, our waiter. From the beginning, Hassan's genuine smile and friendly demeanor made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer. He patiently guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations and explaining the flavors and ingredients of each dish.

Not only was Hassan knowledgeable about the menu, but he also displayed an impressive attention to detail. His efficient and professional service truly enhanced our dining experience.

Every dish we ordered was an explosion of flavors and spices, each one expertly prepared and beautifully presented. From the aromatic Paneer Tikka Masala to the rich and spicy King Prawn Madras, every bite was a delight for the senses. The chef's culinary skills were truly showcased in each dish, and it was evident that only the freshest and highest quality ingredients were used.

The Viceroy Indian restaurant in Duffield is not just a place to eat; it's an experience that transports you to the vibrant and diverse world of Indian cuisine. I highly recommend the Viceroy Indian restaurant in Duffield to anyone looking for a truly authentic Indian...
