Alvaston Fast Food Curries Takeaway

Alvaston Fast Food trades from the London Road parade in Alvaston and has carved out a name as one of the south-east Derby late-night options that holds its own beyond midnight. The menu is the wide mixed-cuisine list the area runs on — traditional curries, balti and karahi specialities, masala dishes, biryanis and rice, kebabs and wraps, southern-fried chicken, burgers and deep-pan pizzas — and the kitchen has been named a finalist in the Indian Takeaway of the Year awards, which is unusual for a shop with this breadth of mixed-cuisine menu. Hours run late, through to half past midnight midweek and two in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays, which makes it a frequent destination for the post-pub trade out of central Derby down the A6. There is no dining room — collection and delivery only, with the shop on Uber Eats and its own ordering site — and the food is firmly at the budget end. Local reviews are split in the way most high-volume mixed-menu shops attract reviews, with the consistent positive note being portion size and the consistent gripe being order accuracy at peak weekend volume.
