Sanam: Reviews & Ratings
Been driving past this place since 2005! Never considered trying it out - cos the place didn’t look inviting and from outside walking or driving past the business! It does look dull - until me and the friends entered... Inside looks not bad and it has old school look from the 70s & 80s The elderly guy was serving us and advised us try! Am really impressed with the food and asked for desi style please uncle! Show UNCLE RESPECT! He will look after you more...
First time dining at Sanam tonight. Absolutely delicious meal and wonderful service. Cannot fault this place. We will be back for sure. Thank you!
Excellent food, brilliant friendly service, great price. Highly recommend for a good traditional curry out
The best genuine Indian food in Derbyshire. Some bad review on here from a guy expecting a cellar full of red wine from various decades ( order the house red mate ) . It’s a small Indian in a little town with friendly helpful staff that go out of their way to look after you. The sauces have great depth the nans are made on site in the traditional way and the meat is always fantastically cooked.
Lovely Indian meal at a very fair price. Very personal staff who seemed to really enjoy their work. Thankyou.
Amazing food and exceptionally friendly service! We came here to celebrate our first year of marriage and it was great. The Chicken Saag and Lamb Gosht were delicious and the portions were very generous. We would definitely come here again if we were in the area. All the best
Great food and service. Cant want for more.
Excellent quality of food and service. This has been our first choice 'indian' food for 20 years plus. the cooking is first class. Great flavours in the sauces. Nans always fresh from the Tandoor. We only eat indian here unless travelling because I cannot think of any way it could be better.
