Chef Villa

Chefs Villa is the Roper Avenue takeaway in Heanor, a short drive west of the central Market Place on the residential side of the town. It is built around a long mixed Indian-and-pizza menu rather than a single cuisine, with a steady online following — the shop sits at a 4.4 rating across nearly three hundred reviews.

The Indian side of the kitchen runs the conventional tikka masala, jalfrezi, balti, biryani, korma and madras list with a starter section of pakora, samosa and onion bhaji; the pizza-and-grill side covers stone-baked pizzas, doner and shish kebabs, sizzler plates, southern-fried chicken, burgers and wraps. Reviewers consistently single out the generous portions and the good value across the deals. Collection takes about fifteen minutes and delivery is set up for a forty-five-minute window across Heanor and into the Marlpool and Loscoe streets.

It is one of those one-stop shops that handles a mixed household order without anyone having to compromise on what they actually want.
