Restaurant’s globe-trotting new menu goes the extra mile

The owners of Nicco Restaurant and Bar have launched a new menu, inspired by their travels in which they racked up 35,000 miles.

The Pride Park business offers an Indian fusion menu, which will be updated this month with new dishes from across the globe.

The new additions are inspired by the travels of co-owners Bhav and Sanj Kumar, while staying true to the restaurant’s core Indian roots.

The unique menu includes cuisine inspired by trips to Dubai, Mykonos, Mexico and Nepal.

Created over the last 12 months and utilising a team of 11 chefs, even the UK staple of fish and chips is getting a spicy makeover.

Bhav said: “We wanted to share the best culinary experiences from our travels but combine those tastes with our heritage dishes in a fusion that would surprise and delight diners in Derby.

“Our newly launched menu has been created alongside our head chef and senior management team and, so far, our customers have given us outstanding feedback.”

General manager Kamlesh Odedra said: “If you were to total up the air miles needed to track down the influences contained within our new menu, you would rack up around 34,564 air miles.”

Commanding the large team of chefs under his guidance, head chef Surjeet Kumar, alongside general manager Kamlesh and co-owner Bhav, collaborated on the new menu.

Surjeet has 20 years of experience in the business and has been with Nicco since it opened in October 2021.

He said: “We serve around 2,500 diners every week and the new menu will give them something truly unique.”

Bhav said: “The new menu wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team here at Nicco Restaurant and Bar.

“Without them, our ideas couldn’t be brought to life. We truly hope our customers love the new plates as much as we do. We certainly think we have a recipe for success!”
