Curry Cottage At Lovers Leap The Dale, Stoney Middleton, Hope Valley S32 4TF

"Went for a pre-valentines meal and it was excellent. We ordered off the chef’s specials and they were everything we hoped. Portion size was great and staff were very welcoming."

"In a quiet, tiny village in the Peak District. Visited on February 8th. It was cold and dark, it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere... because we were. Imagine our surprise then to find what qualifies as one of the best meals we've had of this cuisine ... anywhere, from Dubai to Melbourne and London. It was ridiculously good. Really, absoultely magnificent. The two guys hosting us, one was the chef, could not have been freindlier, more connected, if we'd been related or known each other for decades. Thick, rich south yorkshire accents, with a weclome to our home, make it your home attitude. Can't really go on to say much more because the words aren't there. Simply stunning, authentic indian food tasting as if it had been cooked with oodles of love and care. This is one of the few restaurants that exist today, that are BYO alcohol if you want to. So not only did we get to eat some of the best Indian food in the country, but we drank exactly what we wanted and ... ended up eating out for fantastic value for money. If you enjoy proper curries, authentic Indian food and are willing to invest a little effort to do so ... this is a MUST visit peak district restaurant. Really ... it is. (Image from their website)"

"Just had a lovely meal at the curry cottage inside their beautiful romantic cave. Excellent vegetarian menu and meat menu for meat lovers too. Great service, excellent hygiene and super friendly. Authentically Asian food. Will definitely come again when visiting Derbyshire."

"This is my second visit to this superb establishment. The first being with a group of friends and the second because sadly my wife missed the first occasion and had serious fomo (fear of missing out) On this occasion I had the Handi which was highly recommended by our waiter “TT”. It really didn’t disappoint! The portion sizes were excellent and the service was excellent with TT handling all our needs promptly. We don’t drink alcohol, but its important to note that if you do this restaurant is unlicensed to sell alcohol and this operates a bring your own policy."

"have passed this curry house several times but today, I stopped and gave it a try, all I can say is wow, the food was absolutely stunning, We all tried different dishes and i have to say i have never had a Indian meal with this amount of flavour, even down to the pea rice, i personally went for the chefs special which was chicken palal, a little spicy for me but the flavour was delicious, couldn't quite finish mine so they boxed it up for me to bring home. hubby had special briyani and said it was delicious,staff are so friendly, will definitely be returning, Just remember to bring your own alcohol as they don't serve alcohol here, they do sell soft drinks only."
