"When we were shown to our table, it was located on the first floor, which may be a challenge for some guests. However, our table was beautifully set with a clean tablecloth. Our waiter was friendly, helpful, and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself was tastefully modern, well-lit, and meticulously clean, with staff who clearly took pride in their establishment, as evidenced by their regular cleaning during our visit. It was refreshing to see they served beer on tap—many Indian restaurants these days seem to be alcohol-free. The menu was beautifully presented and featured an interesting variety of dishes beyond the usual offerings found in Indian restaurants. Our appetizers were served on well-prepared dishes and were absolutely delicious. The main course was divine, and I must say, this is probably the best Indian restaurant I have ever visited, and surprisingly, it was not expensive at all. If you find yourself in the Belper area and looking for a great dinner, you absolutely must try Elaichi. I know you won’t be disappointed! Oh, and they offer takeout as well."

"I was really looking forward to dining here after reading great reviews but, although a nice evening was had, we left feeling slightly disappointed. The staff were friendly and nothing was any trouble. They were attentive and prompt with our meal. We had the 5 course tasting menu £45 and took our own wine as it is a BYOB restaurant. The venison was an outstanding dish! Really wonderful meat and cooked and seasoned beautifully. Bread (which is classed as a course) and the soup were nice but not very memorable. The apple tart tartan was served stone cold. The pastry was hard as nails and would of benefited from being warmed up a bit. The smokey fudge was not at all smokey. None of the menus flavours of any of the dishes were punchy. The restaurant was uncomfortably hot and had left over decorations and pin nails still in the walls near their rather unimpressive bookcase. All looked a bit tired and in need of a bit of a re-paint. I really hate writing this as I feel I sound a right snob but the place really needs some nice linen. There I said it! For a £45 tasting menu I would expect a proper linen napkin and the tea towel that the servers delivered our plates to us was tatty and I 've seen cleaner ones.... The toilets had no hand towels and the toilet in the pub we went to beforehand was more pleasant than here. This is a lovely place with very nice staff but with nothing special about it 's visit. I really, really wanted to love it with it being local and using local produce but our evening was just OK. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3"

"First time in years we’ve been here! Wow! What have we been missing? 5 stars in every way! Where to start? •Walking in we were greeted by a very friendly young lady, who was attentive, friendly, courteous and just so good at her job! •The decor was beautiful and the Christmas decorations were perfect •A cosy wood burning stove added to the ambiance •The food was absolutely perfect, there were 5 of us ordering from the extensive Christmas menu, belly pork, Katsu curry, fish and chips, plus starters and desserts! All tasty and cooked perfectly! •We were able to order extra drinks from our table without being made to feel it was too much trouble for the bar lady! •We had one adult and 2 young children tag along with us, just for a drink and a bag of crisp! They were all happily accommodated, even though they were not booked in! We will definitely be back, many times in the future! Thank you to all at The Fox and Hounds for restoring our faith in village pubs!"
