Firstly can?t fault the service and friendliness of the team here. After having a such a good impression of the overall feel and atmosphere of the restaurant we expected something good but sadly the meals were cooked using highly processed ingredients. The masalla was literally a bowl of bright red food colourant, really off putting and tasteless. The base of the sauces felt like a low quality tomato puree, the spices were not present in the dishes at all, nothing felt fresh. We couldn?t eat the Rogan Josh sauce as it was literally just onions and peppers with barely any sauce at all. This was unfortunate as I feel investment has been made to make this a nice restaurant but the vital part is the food and it was below average i?m afraid.

Food is amazing, but service poor. Served by a rather rough lad who basically threw our poppadum tray at us with one more than asked for. Tried to charge us for items we did not order. Probably won?t come again which is a shame as again the food was exceptional.

One our favourite restaurants. Authentic Bangladeshi food. We regularly eat here and have a great relationship with the staff.

Nice place, was expecting more than they delivered.
Bland food, quite possibly one of the worst Indian meals I have had.
No return for us I?m afraid.

Having seen the reviews of this place we couldn't wait to visit and is a 45 minute drive, we don't mind for a good quality scran though!
However the inside was dated and a bit scruffy in places, the area where the loos are was quite dysmal!
Staff weren't the approachable and spent a lot of time walking around looking for something to do.
There were long waits on our previous visits despite the restaurant being quiet.
The food was quite bland and average compared to other Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants that we have visited. Again, I don't mind paying for a good quality meal, but prices were high for a pretty standard meal.
Our visit was before the renovation so I hope it's looking more updated and modern

1 hour 30 wait in the restaurant for takeaway. If your too busy don?t take orders and be greedy

Eat here quite regularly as can?t deny the foods lovely however haven?t been for a while as it?s extremely expensive in comparison to other similar restaurants but when they advertised NHS discount me and partner decided to go for a treat after she?d had a hard weekend working only for man at till to to say they don?t accept it even though our waiter said they do and it?s advertised on Facebook. Incredibly unprofessional, would also like to highlight its extremely important to check your bill here as has been known for some extra pounds to slip on the bill ?accidentally?

I have been to the other restaurants in the Elephant group many times but never to Nellie. The layout inside of it is fantastic. A nice pre-table seating area. The restaurant part has lovely decor.
Had poppadoms with the chutney tray first of all. The lime pickle was a disappointment on it though.
For mains I had the south Indian garlic curry with lamb. I had this at babar elephant a few months ago which was different to this. Both versions are exceptional. The lamb was so tender and fell apart. I did ask for a garlic and chilli naan however it came with cheese. The booking system the waiter used mustn't have not picked up no cheese. However as i never had a naan with cheese it was a new thing and I was pleasantly surprised.
All in all a fantastic meal, will be back soon to try the vindaloo.

We visited Nellies yesterday, party of 15 for our 40th wedding anniversary Staff went out of their way, especially as 2 of our party were 30 mins late due to motorway traffic. Food was excellent everyone had something different and throughly enjoyed their choice We've visited before and will definitely be back Thank you to all the staff for a memorable occasion

Food was admittedly great, other than the tandoori rice being a complete rip off. £7.50 for a small bowl of pilau rice.

Very good Indian. Service a little slow but didn?t mind too much.
