Warm greeting, Seated immediately and allowed to settle with drinks whilst scanning the menu, some new dishes. Food arrived speedily though the server tries too hard to be amusing, it is not required, it's also unprofessional. He adds nothing to the dining experience, possibly a simple greeting and explanation of the dishes. His trying to be funny made him forget to bring plates and the Naan Bread! Extremely tasty and to a high standard, it's our go to Indian restaurant in Doncaster Great value for money Highly recommend We will always choose Elachi

I have rated Elachi a 3 because of the table setup/ service , Large rd table had NO table cloth or NO beer mats , other smaller tables had table cloths , as it is a Restaraunt i would expect a nice table set-up as it makes it look/feel more like you are dining out when you are drinking the drips off your glass obviously drip on you ,which isnt nice well you are dressed up for the occasion ,we had to ASK for service - not good enough - when you are taken to your table you should be ASKED what you would like 1st thing , after we had poppadoms & pickle tray WE again had to ASK ( after 10min wait) for a menu to which the waiter " just plonked " them on the table in a pile and left !! - GOOD WAITERS hand them out to each person , we again ASKED for drinks & 10mims later they arrived . Table service is shocking !!!! Elachi you really need a waiter or 2 to ONLY do table drinks service . The food was beautiful ?? 10/10 but i will not be rushing back ....

Nice but portions are getting smaller and prices going up alot, even the popadoms and amount of meat have shrunk , which is a shame because we have been going every month or two for years but now we are looking elsewhere bye elatchi.

Our fifth or sixth visit here, always good food. Booked prior to coming, asking for a particular table - manager remembered me from my last visit - several months previously! All good when we arrived; one of our party had a nut allergy and was checking with waited - who was extremely helpful, going back into kitchen to double-check things with chefs and with labels on raw or bought-in products. Everything brought promptly and with a smile - can't fault the service initially. All dishes as good as we've come to expect. Have just three very petty gripes; Many of the tables are really fairly small for four people; Indian/Chinese meals especially have so many dishes and plates that we were overspilling on to the (fortunately empty!) adjoining separate table to place glasses, unused dishes, etc. After we had finished our main courses it took an age before anyone came to us, either to see if we wanted more drinks, or dessert, or even the bill. We may well have gone for a desert or extra drink if they had come when we were initially ready, but ten or so minutes later, the moment had passed! And, in common with so many restaurants, management/owners don't seem to respond to any of the reviews on Tripadvisor. At the very least, acknowledge a good review or give an explanation/apology with regard to any poor reviews or complaints! This is however a restaurant to return to -

Called in yesterday evening with a group of friends after a previous visit was lovely.... a nice atmosphere and welcome... prompt service and a great table. All going well... poppadum's & pickle - great, starters on the whole good... all was going well until... until it came to the main meals and the bill - only 3 portions of rice when we ordered 5... asked for the other 2 to be "told" that we had only ordered 3... so, this the same man who read the order back to us when we made it... OK, off he went to get the missing 2... neither of which ever appeared... we finished the meal some without any rice..actually the standard of the mains was good. We asked for the bill.. yeah, you guessed it.. charged for 5 portions of rice..and to make it worse we were charged for changing the sauce with 2 of the mains...to me if something comes with a "curry" sauce and you change it for another "curry" sauce you don't get charged for the whole curry !! so the revised Bill came back with a reduction for the missing rice..overall, this is a tough review... great food but when 6 sober lovely blokes come in its not rocket science to make sure that "mistakes" are kept to a minimum... We will more than likely give it another visit to see if this was a one-off...

Friendly staff, welcoming, we ordered and got a pickle tray everything was ok till we found a piece of mouldy flour dough in our onion salad, which totally put me off the rest of my food. Staff were understanding and told us we didn?t have to pay anything, paid for our drinks then left. Just left me puzzled how it got in the onion salad.

Myself and my wife have been coming to Elachi for 12 years and we have never once had a bad meal. It?s a real gem and our favourite place to eat. The staff are always warm and friendly and the food is always delicious fresh and flavourful. We?ve just been tonight for the first time in a few very busy months and the anticipation wasn?t for nothing beautiful food as always. My tip grab a Nawab Bangla.

We had to wait for a table about 15 minutes even we booked a table few days before. The staff very friendly, food not that expensive and quite good actually, it's a busy place but they try their best for sure.

Elachi in Belper is our favourite restaurant for a meal out and we were back again this evening. The service is always good, with really friendly & helpful staff plus the food is always excellent - it never disappoints. Thank you Cam and the rest of the team for another lovely evening! June & Mark

We have been going to Elachi for a good few years now and have to say it is the best curry in Doncaster by far. We have never had a bad meal. Staff are friendly and attentive.

Following on from the comment below, I unfortunately live close to this restaurant and not only do the waiters reside in a dump, but they also prepare the food here and carry it across the road in large pans. No-one who lives in my neighbourhood will eat in this ?restaurant?.

My wife and I love Indian food and are always happy to try different restaurants. But the Elachi is our go to. Service, food and atmosphere all great. I like a vindaloo but the wife likes bhuna/karhai and it's excellent whatever the spiciness. Good wine list at reasonable prices. If they could only move it about 4 miles this way to save on taxi fares....
