If you're strolling down Corporation Street in Chesterfield and craving rich, aromatic Indian cuisine, Indian Blues is one of those restaurants you’ll be glad you stumbled upon. Located at 7 Corporation St, Indian Blues isn't just another curry house-it’s an inviting dinner spot where modern flair meets timeless Indian flavors.
Step inside, and you're greeted with the kind of cozy atmosphere that balances casual dining with a hint of elegance. It’s popular for dinner, but also happens to be a great spot for solo diners, thanks to its warm and welcoming service vibe. The accessibility features like a wheelchair-accessible entrance, seating, and toilet make it inclusive for everyone, and the layout feels thoughtfully designed for comfort.
Let’s talk food-because this is where Indian Blues really gets exciting. The Chicken Hyderabadi is a show-stealer, layered with bold spices and a generous kick of heat for those who like their meals full of character. Then there’s the Butter Chicken, a creamy classic done just right: not too sweet, not too spicy, just velvety goodness in every bite. For seafood lovers, the Goan Fish Curry and King Prawn Tanda are standout dishes, offering a fragrant coastal twist that’s both refreshing and satisfying.
Looking for something uniquely their own? The Indian Blue Special is exactly that-a carefully curated plate featuring a bit of everything: succulent meats, richly spiced sauces, and warm breads to mop it all up. Their Garlic Naan is addictive, especially when paired with their lesser-known gems like Ghana Masala or Chicken Riparian Raj-both dishes that offer deeper, more regional spice profiles not found in your average Indian restaurant.
If you're into mixed platters, the Mixed Kebab is generously portioned and packed with flavor. Juicy lamb, spiced chicken, and smoky skewers come together in a no-nonsense, grilled-to-perfection way. For something heartier, the Cheese Rice makes an indulgent, cheesy pairing with rich curries like the Molacass Masala or Butter Prawn.
Vegetarian? No worries-classics like Onion Bhaji and Chana Masala deliver on both crunch and spice, and are complemented well with a side of Coconut Rice or Special Naan. And if you’re in the mood to experiment, there’s the Chicken Liver Lazuk-a dish that surprises even seasoned Indian food fans with its depth and boldness.
Drink-wise, Indian Blues has a well-rounded selection. It’s got a great wine list (perfect if you’re pairing with something spicy), but also serves beer, coffee, spirits, and halal food, making it easy to accommodate all kinds of dietary needs and personal preferences. Plus, for night owls or those out for a late dinner, they serve late-night food-a rarity in town.
Service here is seamless whether you're dining in, ordering takeaway, or opting for delivery. That’s one of the key reasons Indian Blues has become a go-to for locals-its consistency in both food and service. And yes, you’ll want to leave room for dessert. Their ice cream selection changes often but pairs beautifully with the rich spice-laden mains. You won’t regret a scoop after a plate of Chicken Shasklick or the indulgent Birria, which has recently been gaining popularity on the menu for its cross-cultural flavor fusion.
Indian Blues isn't trying to be trendy-it’s just effortlessly good at what it does. Whether you're new to Indian cuisine or someone who knows your way around a spice rack, this place serves food that feels familiar yet exciting. And in a town like Chesterfield, where dining spots are plentiful but quality varies, Indian Blues quietly sets a standard that's hard to ignore.
