Curry Nights

Curry Nights trades from a Brackens Lane plot at the Boulton end of Alvaston, on a quiet residential stretch a few doors along from East Ocean and what was the Mighty Joe's pizza unit until its 2022 closure. The kitchen runs an Indian takeaway menu with the standard balti house spread — tandoori starters off the clay oven, balti, karahi and masala mains across the chicken, lamb and king prawn side of the menu, biryanis and rice, vegetarian curries and the full naan list. Reviews on Restaurant Guru sit at 3.8 across just under fifty reviews — solid rather than spectacular, with the recurring positive note being consistency on the curry side over years of repeat ordering. The shop is collection and delivery only, evenings, with delivery covering the surrounding Boulton, Alvaston and Allenton streets. Pricing sits in the standard Derby Indian-takeaway range and the kitchen is genuinely cook-to-order rather than batch-prepared, which shows up in the small wait that builds at peak Friday and Saturday hours.
