Good food, luxurious surroundings, shame about the service. The menu is much too large to be described as 'fine dining' but a plush interior and some fancy presentation put it on the better end of the spectrum of Derby eateries. Standard Indian dishes mingle with specials and portions are a good size. My friend specifically asked for a less spicy version of a dish that another member of our group ordered but the two tasted exactly the same; if the spiciness could not be altered we should have been told. There were lots of staff but they spent more time talking to each other than paying attention to guests. An OK experience.

Good food and service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Only small criticism would be pickle tray accompanying popadoms could have been larger. I loved the size of the restaurant and the fact that tables and groups were well spaced apart without losing the lovely ambience.

A beautiful room, efficient, friendly waiting staff, food was full of flavour and fresh. I was very impressed by the luxuriously appointed and expansive ladies room which added pleasure to the visit. There was only one other table occupied by a family with children. They seemed to be having a good time. However it is quite enjoyable to be in an atmosphere which is a bit more buzzing. It was a Sunday night though. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary.

Friendly staff, amazing food and beautifully decorated restaurant! The pre-theatre menu is great value for money. I've had take-away from here before and that was good too. I will definitely be returning.

Lovely place with excellent service. The overall atmosphere in the restaurant was great. We went (my wife and I) for a Valentine's meal. The food was fantastic and the menu catered for both our tastes (I like spicy whereas my wife doesn't) we both left full and happy ! :-D

Went for a pre-theatre reat meal. The food was excellent, as was the service service. Okra has a lovely ambiance for dining even with the early eating time. Great value for money, we will definitely go back.

Surroundings are great but food flavour could be improved. The meals we had were too bland. The butterfly king prawn starter relied on the breadcrumbs rather than the prawn or the spices for flavour and the main course (murgh jhatt phatt) had no identifiable spice flavour. A pleasant enough restaurant with decent service let down by disappointing food.

Fabulous meal as always and great staff too, who offered us the early bird menu even though it wasn't usually available in December as we asked about it. Thank you Okra, see you again soon.

Asked for the Christmas menu expecting to be given a choice, no one explained how it worked, if I had known it was a set menu I wouldn't have chosen that. The poppadoms were soft and tasted old, and when our starter was eventually ( after a 30 minute wait) brought out the samosa was rock solid frozen in the middle. Needless to say at this point we had had enough

Service was lovely and they were very friendly. The food was excellent! I had the "pre-theatre" deal that made the price very reasonable. The restaurant is also very convenient for the city centre and a number of nice bars.
