A long lost mate is staying at junction 25 for work next week, and we are meeting up for a curry. But what with kids and so on, I’m about 5 years behind the news on curry houses round here, so where would all you experts recommend?

Tasty and good value over the whole “fine dining/fusion” nonsense, preferably. And a 50/50 chance of finding the car undamaged afterwards!

Thank you

Haveli in Chilwell gets good reviews.

Forgotten name of place on main road in Borrowash is good and cheaper.

After a quick google, would that be Rajni or Bay of Bengal?

Google threw up an old but interesting headline relating to one of them 😕

I’d reccomend the raj in allestree

Gee ja gees in Kegworth.

Bay of Bengal, as you say Rajni brings up “interesting” headline!

Glad to hear Gee Ja Gees is still going. It used to be my local and favourite curry house 10+ years ago – even though I lived 10 miles away from it 🙂

If he doesn’t mind heading into to town Tamatanga is great value and tastes cracking!

2-4-1 curry bowl vouchers with cinema tickets from cineworld or £6 for curry and drink before 6 during the week

Another vote for Bay Of Bengal in Borrowash.

I work just off j25 so this thread is very helpful 😀

Viceroy near derby train station!

I live in Long Eaton and the local ones I frequent:

Tandoori Nights in Shardlow
Al-Naseeb in Long Eaton (got it mixed up with Haveli’s in Chilwell)

Haveli’s is good but pricy. They have an early doors option but you have to vacate tables by a certain time.

Going to try the others when I can be asked….

Anoki
London road in Derby, or near the ice stadium in Nottingham

Cheers guys, got some good ideas to work on

Never had a bad one here.

I ride past tandori nights on my commute, always smells very nice and the sudden hunger the smell creates is annoying when you’ve got another 16 miles left!

Anoki if your flush
Shalamar if your not
Tandoori Nights

Anoki if your flush

Or go early or late then it’s 2 for 1 and pretty reasonable –
