"It was great food. There was one stocky bald guy who was a really good waiter. He was working his socks off. Then other staff were not so good. Chatting with friends at the bar while our large party needed drinks. A couple of the kitchen staff wandering about with a poor attitude, looking like they didn't want to be there. Should be happy to work there. It's a brilliant pub and they have a nice atmosphere to work in. I have high standards when I go for a meal. It's a rare treat for people. I don't want to see staff acting like they're doing you a favour by being there. On a side note you can see food staff on their phones touching work surfaces when the kitchen doors open. I would say that's quite unhygienic for food preparation. If I see staff using phones etc who prepare food it makes me worry about hygiene. It's like when I went in McDonald's and saw staff constantly touching their face. I've not been back since. Was 5 years ago. I might be wrong they might be cleaning their hands straight after. Just telling you what I saw and how you might be able to do a bit better. Appreciate good staff are in short supply at the moment."

"Went to Mumbai Chilli solely on the reviews that had been left by previous diners. Spot on ... Thank you. The food was simply fantastic and the service was without fault. As per a previous reviewers comment, if you can overlook where it's situated, you'll be in for a fantastic treat. A hidden gem which we'll be going to again. Have already recommended it to friends who regularly go out and are looking for something different."

"Me and my friends all come here ever wednesday after school for a study session and a chit chat and grab a coffee! The atmosphere here is something so peaceful and comfortable with its great lighting, music and decorations really make it a special vibe. It’s very hygienic there’s not a spot of dirt insights- bathrooms are always clean. Aswell as it’s state of cleanliness, the smell is really nice with its light up candles. The staff are so sweet and polite and are amazing at their jobs at making us feel welcome! Aswell as that the food and drinks here on the menu are so good and are always top notch- always nice and fresh! I rate it 5/5 because i’ve been to other places before, that have never had such a good quality food and had a great experience! I come here because it’s a comfort place for me and my friends and we never doubt our choices coming here because it’s so great- one of the best places in Derby."

"Food is absolutely delicious, the massaman curry is my personal favourite, along with the hot and spicy chips. The lady host can not do enough for her customers and kept my wine glass full the whole night. So nice to have a unique family run business, oppose to a soulless pub chain ect. I went with my partner and another couple and me all felt the same. Hoping to order a take away at New Year."

"Lorentes in the town centre has gone downhill since the early days. Our paella smelt like salty harbour water had been poured over it and parts of the mussels were gelatinous and see through so we sent it back. We were told it was cooked fine and we'd only get the same again, even though I'd shown the waiter an obvious visibly undercooked mussel. Some of the tapas were very good but another cabbage, potato and black pudding one was really basic for the price. I won't be returning as the last time the Bacalao was undercooked too so I think there must be a replacement chef that is inexperienced with fish since the new restaurant opened in Darley Abbey."
