Masala Derby

You'll find Masala Derby tucked away on Curzon Street, in that stretch where the city's food scene actually gets interesting. It's unpretentious—no velvet booths or twee plating—just honest North Indian cooking that tastes like someone knows what they're doing. The sort of place where regulars have their orders memorised and the kitchen isn't mucking about with trends. Whether you're after a proper tandoori or something closer to home comfort, there's enough on the menu to keep you coming back without breaking the bank. It's the kind of neighbourhood restaurant Derby needed: good food, fair prices, no theatre.
