The Lapsi spice Multicuisine Restaurant — Restaurant in England

This place is the absolute definition of a hidden gem. Caught my eye as I was passing and thought I'd give it a try, not expecting it to be the best cuisine I've ever visited.

The interior is so cosy, and a lot bigger than you'd expect. The lady serving is one of the loveliest people I've ever spoken to - she gives a genuine welcoming vibe and is happy to talk you through the food and what they can offer you. She welcomes you to tweak the dishes to your preference (if you want it more or less spicy, sweet etc).

On to the food - this is what truly blew me away. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, which is my all-time favourite dish. I was skeptical because almost every time I try this dish at a new establishment it disappoints me, because what makes it so difficult to make is finding the right balance of sweet and salty. Let me tell you this was hands down the best Kung Pao Chicken I've ever had, and even one of the best things I've ever tasted. Genuinely blown away by how perfect the sauce was, and the chicken was incredibly tender in a beautifully light batter. I also had the egg fried rice and that was cooked to perfection.

You've earned a lifetime customer and I urge anyone to...

Indo Chinese is a cuisine invented in Kolkata by Chinese immigrants improvising with local ingredients and adapting flavours to the local palate. While widespread in India, it is exceedingly rare to find a restaurant in the UK serving this cuisine. I have ventured far and wide, but the nearest restaurant I have found offering competently prepared Indo Chinese is in London. Lapsi spice is a rare and precious find, serving excellent Indo Chinese fare. I have sampled their Talumein soups, their Manchurian chicken, their Chinese chopsuey and am happy to confirm they are faithful to the versions I have enjoyed on the subcontinent. I was thrilled to have their Manchow soup, a true likeness that I have never experienced in 15 years living in the UK. I hope Derby will patronise, cherish and protect this rare and...

My family and I recently visited Lapsi Spice in Derby. We can not speak highly enough about the food here. We heard the chef has over 25+ years experience (in Michelin star restaurants too) and you can tell. The food was absolutely incredible. So flavoursome and looked incredible. What I also liked, was how the owner who took our order asked us about spice levels we liked so they could be accommodated. For example, my husband likes lots of spice, I am quite mild as is my 8 yo daughter. These were noted and accommodated! Incredible service. My daughter said the chicken lollipops were the best she has ever tasted. Well done Lapsi Spice, we will definitely be back with friends. Without a doubt, we recommend this...
