With an oak bar, wooden screens adorned with oriental elements, modern classic furniture, chandeliers and golden pendants, the ambience provides a lavish setting for any occasion.

Head Chef Ain Ullah

Ain is a true advocate of Indian gastronomy. His motivation is to deliver culinary experiences of the highest quality that truly reflect one of the regions richest natural larders. Starting his career in Birmingham in 1988, Ain spent several years working in London, most notably at Benaras as assistant chef for renowned Celebrity chef Atul Kochur. It was working with Atul that helped Ain to hone his 'ingredient led' cooking approach. Ain's cooking philosophy is to use fresh, locally sourced produce and let the quality of the ingredients shine through. "When I cook, I am cooking with my heart and soul. The greatest joy is brought to me when I see that my food is making people happy, that they truly enjoy and appreciate the food."

Ain opened his first establishment in Coalville "Elaichi" in 2003, following this with two successful restaurants, Bayleaf and Shaad, before opening Moza in Derby. Today, as Chef/Director, Ain devotes his energies to creatively evolving and progressing Viceroy as a uniquely exceptional establishment, and as an ambassador for Indian food culture across the region.
