New Swad - South Derbyshire

We’ve not eaten here for a while (it’s normally been great) so was looking forward to a meal there. The service this time wasn’t great at all. As usual , Popadoms arrived quick but we had to wait an hour for our main course and that was only when we reminded them. The seated customers appear to be a lower priority than the takeaway customers and there was a lot of them coming and going. Food quality was good but my wife’s meal wasn’t very warm. There was a lot of staff who were clearly inexperienced with one experienced madman run off his feet. Ended up being disappointed. Can’t see us retuning for a sit down meal .

Hot, fresh and extremely tasty! I’m a Chinese takeaway girl usually as Indian takeaways for me are usually pretty bland. This has totally changed my Friday night takeaway choice! The chicken was really tender, loads of garlic, chilli and herbs. Beautiful naan breads, so soft and tasty. Fresh salad and all the dips were fresh and delicious. We won’t go anywhere else now! The guy who took our order was super friendly as was the deliver driver. 10/10 all round

We had a lovely evening the food was as good as always we couldn’t finish it all so asked if we could take it away with us nothing was said about a charge for the food containers to take it home. So when the bill came there was an extra £3 added on so I asked the waiter what it was for he said it for the 2 containers to take home , so I said I wasn’t happy to pay that amount so asked for the manager the waiter who came over wasn’t the manager came over wasn’t going to be reasonable he was rude and said you had already eaten in the restaurant and used the crockery so we should pay if we wanted to take it home , he had no customer service skills at all , so may be a course might be a good idea. I waited to speak to the owner who was so nice and could see my point about £3 was a lot of money most people would have paid £1 but to be fair you are already spending the money they should be free as if you get a takeaway you don’t pay for them then . So please be fair as it spoil our date night.

The waiters were fantastic with my requests for mild food for my children, very accommodating. The food was excellent and very tasty. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely busy atmosphere and helpful staff. Great meals, except Mixed Vegetable Kurma which was like a sweet porridge. Also the Peshwari naan was covered in sticky sugar. Generally good though. All other meals were excellent.
