Top restaurant and takeaway in DRONFIELD Must add I tried phoning to order food but they don't answer the landlineI had to drive to the cottage and place our order. There's a seating area to wait. You can pay cash or card. Definitely well worth waiting for. Awesome ...
There isn’t many places with food as good as this. You will not be disappointed every dish is cooked to perfection and really is the best Indian around even though Dronfield has a few Indians none compare to Samad. The staff are incredibly friendly and there is never a long wait for food either it’s a lovely atmosphere and is always an enjoyable night when we go. Get yourself down!
Samad Cottage has managed to stand the test of time. It opened in 1984. They have managed to maintain their high standards throughout the period. The restaurant is situated in the heart of Old Dronfield and has 3 fantastic pubs, all within walking distance to the restaurant. It's important to state that the restaurant is upstairs and may not be suitable for people who are disabled. Well done, Ali and your fantastic team.
The food was lovely, would definitely recommend.The chicken and lamb in both of the dishes we ordered was very tender. The starters and sides were also very nice. All in all very good value for money.
Nice place for decent Indian/Bangladesh food. Portion size is average, service is great. Too bad we were the only guests on a Monday.
Got a takeaway delivered from these boys last week and everything was on point! Food arrived much quicker than the estimate given (t'was a Saturday after all so l was prepared to wait) and when it did come it was delish! I've tried other Indian-inspired cuisines in the area and this one will be my go to from now on!
