I would not recommend going to this restaurant if you are expecting great service. I went tonight for my friend’s birthday meal, and let’s just say we did not enjoy it one bit.
On arrival our table was 15 minutes late/delayed. We were given the wrong drinks and were left waiting ages for anyone to serve us. Our starters were not served for over an hour.
The waiter was unbelievably rude, after we complained about the poor service, the waiter (with his manager present) told us that he was using his ‘tactics’ by ignoring us?! We were utterly shocked with the lack of professionalism & the waiter walked off along with the manager.
We were given the wrong drinks, a main meal that came out when it shouldn’t have, this then happened AGAIN.
My friends rice did not come out with her food without prompting. Our main meals should have came with some mixed peppers, we only got 1 pepper each. In recent visits, the presentation and portions have been a lot better, this time it just looked like everything had been thrown on the plate.
Manager expressed that he will ensure our meal is better from our mains onwards, for it to only go downhill even more.
The manager kept trying to act all friendly with us, saying things like ‘look it’s not all about the service, it’s about being here with your friends’?! Absolutely not, we’re paying for a service, stop trying to divert the issue.
Another waiter took our payment, he seemed very pleasant and even he said that he saw we were being ignored by our waiter & how bad service we were receiving!!

Overall our experience was beyond shocking, From working in the hospitality industry myself, I have never been to a restaurant with service so poor.

While the food was undeniably good, the overall experience was marred by the conduct of the head waiter. I visited the restaurant with my wife and her best friend, who had traveled from abroad. Although we received our drinks and food promptly and were enjoying our time, the head waiter abruptly interrupted us, implying that we needed to vacate the table due to the increasing busyness of the restaurant. He mentioned that there were time limits on how long we could occupy the table. This unprofessional behavior significantly dampened our evening, especially when we had intended to order dessert. Regrettably, this experience has ensured that I will not be returning to this establishment.

An Unforgettable Evening at Deroka Thanks to Zara’s Exceptional Service

My friends and I had the most incredible experience at Deroka in Milton Keynes, all thanks to the exceptional service provided by Zara. From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, making my friend’s birthday celebration truly unforgettable.

Zara was more than just our contact person—she felt like an extension of our group, anticipating every need before we even voiced it. She seamlessly handled everything with such professionalism and grace that we could relax and enjoy ourselves completely, knowing we were in such capable hands. The way she served the food, ensuring everyone was taken care of and happy, was nothing short of remarkable.

What truly stood out was Zara’s empathy and attention to detail. It wasn’t just about delivering a service; it was about creating an experience for us. She even helped us capture the beautiful moments by happily taking our pictures—without a single complaint. Her joy in doing so was genuine, and it made the evening feel even more special.

Zara’s warmth, patience, and kindness were constant throughout the night. She didn’t just do her job—she genuinely cared about making my friend’s birthday the best it could possibly be, and she succeeded in every way. It’s rare to find someone who can combine professionalism with such heartfelt service, and Zara did just that.

Thank you, Zara, for making our night at Deroka so magical. You are a shining example of outstanding customer service, and we’ll never forget the kindness and care you showed us.

Brilliant bottomless brunch for my daughter’s birthday. Great service and delicious food. Our waiter was lovely and kept us supplied with drinks and cocktails! All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is beautifully done up with a great atmosphere. Really made our celebration special, especially bringing out the birthday cake and singing happy birthday! Thank you so much. X

It was nice; I went there with my work colleagues for Christmas dinner. It was lovely. We chose this place because my colleagues wanted to drink and I myself don't and I think this is a good place for such occasions because cocktails and mocktails and all their meat is halal. I got myself a chicken shish, which was cooked perfectly and a mocktail. For dessert, I tried their strawberry cheesecake, which again did not disappoint. Overall, the experience was nice. The environment was good it was busy when we got there.

A lovely Birthday meal for our friend . A great bonus that the birthday girl gets a free drink plus a free meal limited to certain meals. 2 for 1 cocktails is always a crowd pleaser which was on offer tonight . A wide choice on the menu . A lovely atmosphere will definitely return
