Five Rivers - Exclusive Indian Cuisine in Ilkeston

"Had bad experience previously but visited again a year or so later. Mains and starters were relatively good and tasty, prices have increased quite a lot recently though, £80 for two people, starters, mains, sides and two drinks each. Service is great and decent enough atmosphere. Probably wouldn't return as the food is not to my personal taste, food is Punjabi inspired based on what I've seen and I prefer Bangladeshi style dishes. Was a pleasant visit and food was good enough."

"Such a nice ambiance and specially good is really awesome. Thanks to harry for serving us authentic Indian taste."

"I recently dined at this Indian restaurant and was truly impressed by every aspect of the experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm hospitality and inviting ambiance set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional meal. The menu offers a wonderful variety of traditional Indian dishes, and every bite was bursting with authentic flavor. I particularly enjoyed the butter chicken — rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The garlic naan was fresh from the tandoor, fluffy on the inside with just the right crisp on the edges. Each dish felt carefully prepared with attention to detail and quality ingredients. Service was prompt and friendly, with staff who were more than happy to offer recommendations and explain the different dishes. Whether you’re new to Indian cuisine or a longtime fan, there’s something here for everyone. If you’re looking for a delicious, satisfying Indian meal, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back!"

"Could not fault the food or the service. Great menu, perfectly cooked and well presented by attentive staff. The interior just needs a little love/modernisation, I would highly recommend for a "work meal" or a night with friends, but not necessarily for a first date. With a lick of paint and improved toilets, Five Rivers could easily get a 5 star review."

"Best Indian food I’ve ever tasted, came especially from Derby to try it. It was delicious and the staff was so welcoming. Really recommend it"

"I felt welcomed at this restaurant. The service was good. The food was really nice. I decided that I wanted some rice after I received a meal. The server was really fast with the rice and this really impressed me. I would just say that the interior could use a bit of love, and the naan could look a bit more presentable - perhaps serving it without cutting it? Also as it was just me, I think it was a bit pricey - at £28. See the pictures for what I bought. I have left as 5 stars because the service was very good and the food was lovely."
