Maazi Indian - Derbyshire Dales

We were warmly welcomed by Suri when we arrived at Maazi last night and were served excellent food by Ali and his attentive staff. We shared a mixed starter, my wife had Chicken Jalfrezi and I thoroughly enjoyed the Maazi Kushbu with mushroom rice what a treat!!!!

Just had our third meal for 2 delivered and it just gets better. Packed securely in a sturdy box the food was still hot even though it came from Matlock. Not only did we get the 2 meals we ordered with rice and Nan bread, but then we opened numerous other containers with an assortments of dips and tasty surprises. We’ve had Indian takeaways previously but never one as tasty as from MAZZI

Food was OK, Service was awful. We arrived at 8.25 for our booking at 8.30 told to sit and wait. When we were seated at 8.40 no-one one came to take any order for another 20 minutes. When we eventually ordered we chose poppadoms and pickle tray to start. Which we never received, our main course came eventually after them taking this to another table first. When we mentioned we 'd not had our poppadoms etc, we got an apology of sorry it is hectic tonight . We got offered a free drink as way of apology. We had to ask multiple times for the bill then ended up taking this to the bar to pay as no-one came back to us. We were there from 20.25 to 22.00 to only get curry and rice each and 2 drinks. Other tables not cleated quickly we noticed after other customers left dirty dishes etc remained on tables for at least 30 minutes after. Disgusting service

We went on a busy Friday in December. In hindsight this was a mistake as it was very busy and extremely noisy. Food varied between excellent (Fish Amritsar and Prawn Puri) and below par (Mixed Platter starter). Service was friendly, but haphazard. We ordered 4 poppadoms and pickles. When they didn’t appear we chased them up and 2 poppadoms and pickles appeared. We were charged for 4. We couldn’t be bothered to argue and didn’t leave a tip.

Areas for improvement include lack of wheelchair and pram accessibility due to three sets of stairs. The ladies' toilet flush was not working and staff did not have a solution. One of the men's toilets was out of order and the other had a faulty flush. Service was slow and required multiple requests for items such as salt and drinks.
