Anoki

Originally launched in 2003, Anoki Restaurant has firmly established itself in the hearts of a wide and discerning clientele. Forget the many curry houses that you might have visited because this gem is in a class of its own, a world away from the average Indian dining destination.

From the magnificent gilded arched ceiling and dazzling chandeliers, to the Bollywood movies playing in the background and the traditionally dressed staff, the Derby restaurant is truly distinctive, much like its name, which translates as unique in Urdu.

The menu offers a range of authentic new flavours that appear alongside much-loved classics. Trust the reshmi tikka of chicken cooked in light spices with freshly ground white peppercorns and fresh coriander to give you a flying start. This could be followed by tandoori sea bass that is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate, or the mirch masala chicken, a firm favourite with the Anoki staff.

A carefully selected menu of world wines, beer, and champagne provides much additional pleasure at your table.
