Sizzling Kitchen

Sizzling Kitchen Grill and Diner sits on the Burton Road stretch where the inner-residential streets of south Derby give way to the start of the Rose Hill cluster of independent restaurants. The shop trades as both a grill-and-diner sit-in and a takeaway, fitted out as an American-diner pastiche with red leather banquettes and chrome — an unusual look for a south Derby halal kitchen — and the cooking pitches across the grill-house repertoire of mixed grills, chicken plates, burgers, naans, kebabs and a curry sideline. Halal across the menu.

Reviewers consistently call out generous portions, fresh presentation and reasonable prices, with the mixed grill the steadiest mention from those who eat in. The shop is set back slightly from the main Burton Road run with parking on the doorstep, which gives it an edge over the on-street operations on Normanton Road for families coming from further out. Used widely for collection too, and a useful inbetween-spot for anyone working the Royal Derby Hospital end of the corridor.
