"We highly recommend a visit to Anila the food was so flavoursome we had the meat platter starter for 2 that was so tender and full of flavour .

Our mains were Rajasthani Handi gosht with lamb I tried this on a recommendation from a review I saw and it did not disappoint my hubby had Chettinad with lamb we had pilau rice and garlic and tomato naan everything was so tasty we will definitely be returning as it was my husband's birthday they bought him a lovely piece of chocolate cake with a candle in that was a lovely gesture thanks so much for making our evening so enjoyable and chilled."

"Lovely food, as is always the case. Great range of dishes and different flavours. We are very lucky to have you so close. Thank you." Barbara Boden I say this with a massive smile; I think that is possibly the best Indian food I have ever eaten . So good so that we are booked in again tomorrow, the fact you can bring your own alcohol makes it very personal. thank you so much, see you tomorrow."

"The atmosphere was incredible; the lights were dimmed perfectly for the mood and the waiters were very polite and told us about the dishes when serving them. The food was impeccable and was served quickly and each course served in perfect time. I personally loved the onion bhaji was the perfect texture and so crispy and seasoned to perfection. The strawberry mocktail was so sweet and so delicious. Would definitely visit again."

"A group of friends and I visited Anila for a birthday meal and I was very impressed by the whole experience. We were greeted at the door by friendly, competent staff who showed us to our table, simultaneously providing menus and taking the drinks order. The menu has plenty of variety in terms of flavour and heat with lots of different dishes from which to choose. I had the chicken tikka meal and it was fantastic: very flavoursome and beautifully presented. Other people in the party enjoyed their choices, too. This is a busy, lively restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Takeaway is also available. Anila is unlicensed so don't forget to take your own alcohol if you'd like a drink with your meal."

"An unassumingly special restaurant. The endless 5star reviews are fully deserved. Impeccable service, atmosphere and cleanliness. Booked an early table for 5.30pm on a Friday, a good move as it quickly filled up with cheery customers.

The food was superb, so good we booked for the following night as we’re staying in the local campsite. Taking your own alcohol makes it even better, more money to spend on the extra tasty grub! Highly recommend."

"Me and my family went tonight and let me tell you that the atmosphere was amazing, with the lights dimmed just right. The waiters were welcoming and really friendly . The food was excellent, arrived quickly, and each course was perfectly timed.

The strawberry mocktail was sweet and delicious. The food is amazing, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. They really go out of their way to make customers feel welcome.

The owner also went out of his way to make sure that we were Happy and content which was really appreciated by us all and also picked the starters for us as we were a bit indecisive lol (by the way he has really good taste as the starters were out of this world!!). Would definitely recommend and for sure coming back."

"A beautiful, halal restaurant a little out the way, a small distance from either derby city, east Midlands outlet, or Carsington water ends.

Stunning interior for amazing photos, privacy, and party bookings. Fantastic food presentation for perfect insta pics. The taste adds even more value - the food is very tasty, ranging from your butter chickens, to a hot and spicy fish starter, they cater for all spice levels. Halal food, and veg options available too. Kids menu/food available too, to cater for those fish fingers and chips lovers, again, presented immaculately.

Parking in the rear, wheelchair accessible as well as WC washroom inside. Prayer facilities available too for those that need it."

"Anila far outweighs any other local Indian restaurants for us and it's become my number 1. Adil is a superb host and treats everyone as family. His staff are attentive and polite and nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant is clean and decor lovely. So proud to call this out local Indian restaurant. Try it for yourself and I guarantee you won't be disappointed."
