   The Lotus Indian Restaurant, set in the beautiful Mercia Marina just outside Derby, was the perfect choice for our works reunion. There were seven of us, and we opted for one of the set Christmas menus. The meal began with a generous basket of poppadoms and chutneys, followed by a delicious trio of starters: turkey tikka, a tender tandoori lamb chop, and perfectly cooked shrimps. For the mains, we were served a rich and flavourful butter chicken, a comforting daal, and a gorgeous lamb railway curry. Everything was accompanied by freshly cooked naan breads, fluffy pilau rice and perfectly spiced chips. The food was absolutely first class, and the waiting staff couldn’t have done more to make it a memorable evening. I would certainly recommend The Lotus to anyone looking for great Indian cuisine in a lovely setting. If you're in the area, it’s also worth exploring the marina and taking a relaxing 20-minute stroll along the towpath to the welcoming Dragon Inn

   Very nice dinner, food and service! We thought of celebrating our anniversary and were searching for a restaurant somewhere nearby to Mickleover in Derby and find this gem of a place! Amazing place. Very good Indian good and really attentive service focused on the customers. Very economical pricing and quality is also good. Comparable to famous restaurants in Derby like Anoki etc.

   The food here is exceptionally good. Every time! We’ve had both the meat and vegetarian thalis, delicate starters and hearty deeply delicious curries. Oooo the Railway lamb!! My favorite. The service is great too, really attentive and friendly without being stuffy or intrusive. I’ve knocked a star off for atmosphere though just because of the acoustics when the place is full. Please get some acoustic panels, it’s too noisy!

   Me and my partner had a lovely time at the Lotus Indian Kitchen this evening. The food was absolutely delicious and very good quality. The atmosphere was perfect and provided that chill/ relaxing feel. In addition to the excellent food, our waiter Humía Shergill, provided top quality service that made us feel relaxed and well accommodated for. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back soon!!

   Really enjoyed this place, good location on the waters edge and the food was excellent. The smell when you walk in the place makes you realise its going to be a good night. Service was quick, we ordered starters as well and they asked if we wanted it all out at the same time which was nice. I was surprised how reasonable the bill was as we had three starters, curries, naan and rice, I have paid a lot more for worse restaurants. I would recommend the malai chicken if you like a creamy curry

   Been to the Lotus Indian Kitchen previously in March and the food was impeccable, so naturally booked again - had the most incredible meal, the service was attentive and speedy, but the food was OUTSTANDING! The most delicious Indian cuisine we have ever had and experienced! Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back soon!
