Dakshin in Derby

Great family restaurant very beautiful service, great food done to perfection.

Although the menu is quite small everything is cooked to perfection, it's always busy and always full of Asian families which tells me that the food is authentic. All the food is fantastic but my favourite is the kerala fish with tamarind rice, don't miss the opportunity to eat here its fantastic.

Nalaas is exceptional at what they serve. We were introduced to Nalaas by a dear friend once upon a time, and since then, every time we’re passing through central England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 we try and align our journey through Derby in a way we can have food 🥘 at Nalaas.I’ve tried very many things at Nalaas and my recommendation is Fish Chettinad.Its a family favourite and dont forget the pan at the end.Its a cash 💵 only restaurant so remember that as well.

Small restaurant off the beaten track on Monk Street but only a short distance from Abbey Street through road. Visited in a group one lunch time. Very tasty food that was well presented. Good portions. Free light snacks were given before the main course which was welcome when waiting for those who'd ordered starters. Very friendly service with a family touch. Good transport access with public car parks nearby on Abbey Street and Drewry Lane. Bus stops nearby on Abbey Street. Only 15 minutes walk from the main shopping centre. Recommended.

The dosa was brilliant and the children birani was clod but take was good nice and clean place good service

Hidden gem in Derby, very flavoursome food. Dosa's were fantastic and not something you see very often in other restaurants. Staff did their best to get us a table even though we hadn't booked, will do in future!

I had my sore masala dosa. The dosa was so good. The sambar tasted very homely. Being a student, it won't bother your pocket as well as the dosa selection are affordable yet worthy. Staff is very polite. Will go again for sure.

Visited Nalaa's a while ago and -1. The taste was very authentic & so were the staff. Very much authentic Tamil. We were very much satisfied with the taste and presentation.2. The chef , Mr. Ramakrishna prepared very tasty curries and we loved the veg meal the most.3. The restaurant is lucky to have a very friendly staff & manager, especially the multi-tasking receptionist + phone operator + food service staff + food guide called HemaLatha. She did a great job of bonding well with all the customers (be it Japanese, British & Indian who were there when we visited) - she neatly explained the different dishes and contents and helped them realise what they wanted to eat !Could do with a Nalaa's in Lincolnshire. We will be going again when situation permits.

From the outside this restaurant is understated to say the least once inside it didn't improve, but that's where the negativity ends. The food and drinks were out of this world and I would go as far to say that it was the best Indian meal we've ever had the pleasure of eating. Would highly recommend a visit to the Nalaas.

South Indian Restaurent in the heart of Derby. Authentic food and professional service.We visited this Restaurent for dinner tonight and the two female staff at the reception very very efficient. Food was served quickly and was hot.Facilities are limited but it’s not an issue.Excellent service. Well done management and team.
