Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Worst Indian food I have ever had. We spent over £100 on take away food for a family get together and most of it went straight in the bin. It was sloppy, tasteless and unappetising. Even the rice was awful it must take a special...talent to ruin rice! Our family who live in Chesterfield who recommended it were disappointed and said they would not be going back.More

Brilliant takeaway we had from this restaurant last night. We had been to a Mansfield town football match and seen that fans rate it. Telephoned order through, ready in 35mins on a busy Saturday night. Garlic chicken delicious, onion bhajees big and golden. Prices extremely...good value. Would like to return to eat in next time. Looked busy on collecting.More

We were stranded in Chesterfield due to all trains being cancelled due to Storm Babet so needed somewhere to eat. We looked at other eateries in the area and opted for Indian Blues and am I glad we did. It was fabulous. It was cooked...well, full of flavour, plentiful and a reasonable price. The only downside was the starter came with what looked like prepacked salad that had started to liquify around the edges of the lettuce. Not very appealing so I gave that a miss. Try the Chicken Chat starter, Mango Chilli Chicken and Cheese nan - you won't be disappointed.More

Was in town for the Football and asked numerous Chesterfield fans as to the best Indian restaurant in town and this was the most popular one amongst their answers. Absolutely spot on in their assessment. Four of us visited and had a good range of...curries and sides plus a special of the decent menu. Very friendly and knowledgeable waiter who was very attentive.More

Great food and the atmosphere was fantastic. The waitress that served us made the night even more memorable. The restaurant accommodated our little requests without any quibble, which helped us celebrate a special friend’s 65th birthday. Looking forward to going back soon.

I popped in here with a friend, it's always been a good Indian restaurant and this meal was no exception. Tasty, filling and I didn't leave a morsel which is unusual for me as Indian food can normally be a little heavy this wasn't. Staff...and service excellent, even cooking a dish not on the menu.More

We've always loved this restaurant but last night was disappointing in more ways than one 😕 The 'menu' is now one side of flimsy card....I even joked to my hubby that he'd booked us in for an early bird special. What we ordered was still...delicious and the same quality ( cheese rice amazing) but the special naan bread was tiny, more like a fatbread and at £3.50 just really disappointing. On chatting to the owner he explained that in the current financial climate he has had to shave down the menu considerably to be able to stay open. That's completely understandable but there were 4 'waitresses' just sat around the bar chatting the whole time we were there, in fact one of them never even moved once off her stool ....seemed such a waste paying them all to do nothing whilst the food prices have risen 😥 We did ask the owner if he could do us a favourite dish ( not listed on the new menu ) to takeaway and he happily agreed saying they can still do any of the original menu dishes upon request. The takeout was ready for when we left and according to my son was just as delicious as ever though 🙂More
