Deroka - Speisekarte

Last news 20th September it was closed. Local paper tried to find out what was happening but no one knows why or for how long. Bookings were possible online but restaurant was closed.

Atmosphere: not too much light. The place is not very stylish Service: slow, don't care too much about their guests Food: a Mediterranean food lover will not be impressed Overall verdict: no reasons to hurry back

What a lovely friendly restaurant, delicious food amazing service from friendly owners and staff, food was fresh and presentation was excellent, definitely on my to go to list and would advise all to go and enjoy the Deroka. Speisekarte ansehen

Visited Hitchin for a weekend and walked into this gorgeous restaurant. Lucky to get a table! Well I love a mixed grill kebab and this was fabulous. Tender yet grilled to perfection and transported me to the Mediterranean! Thank you to the host and staff. We will be back !

Really enjoyable food, fresh ingredients and served really well. Service initially was good yet many missed opportunities to make additional sales from us. We asked many times for extra drinks and told yes-yes we come to you, nobody did. Anyway, like I said, the food was great.

I hardly ever write reviews but Deroka were outstanding. We ordered a takeaway, the restaurant rang to apologise that part of the order hadn’t been collected, so they sent a second bike to deliver it and added a desert ‘on the House’. All the food was delicious, going the extra mile on service for a takeaway was special. Speisekarte ansehen

Upon arrival at the restaurant my expectations fell as its fair to say it doesnt really look the best. However once we started eating my mood changed, we ordered a number of starters to share and all were good, if anything perhaps some of them were too big! The mains were also very good, i had some very tender lamb and all the trimmings were also good! Will definitely return

Location: close to Hitchin market square in Sun street Atmosphere: slightly dark and has a little of a cave feeling Service: the restaurant was empty and the showed no interest in delivering food and drinks in a rush. It was not what you hope for. Food drink: you get get what you pay for. Overall underwhelming experience and we will not hurry back. Sun street is packed with a lot of nice restaurants.

Staff were friendly, although not very well presented, when we arrived our waiter (owner) had his shirt hanging out and covered in stains. Very quiet restaurant considering it was a bank holiday Friday and the rest of the town was buzzing. Our meal was pleasant, when we came to ask for the bill (very expensive bill) there was no one left in the restaurant, the waiting staff were no where to be found, we called out and nothing, I went to go check in the kitchen and the lights were all off, no staff and the kitchen was filthy. We eventually tracked down our waiter (owner) who was out the front chatting. We had been waiting 15 minutes with no one around. I would not go back. Speisekarte ansehen
