Stars, VIPs and Derby’s glitterati descended on Pride Park on Saturday, as Nicco Restaurant & Bar launched its first ever After Hours event.
The award-winning restaurant and bar, renowned for its contemporary Indian cuisine, rolled out the black carpet for the VIP launch and the atmosphere was electric.
Guests included podcasters, influencers, Miss Derbyshire and DIY SOS favourite Ian Hodgkinson.
As the cameras flashed capturing in pictures the guest list that read like a who’s who, the venue’s exclusive launch party roared into life.
A live saxophonist, drummers, and dancers made this high-energy event zing, with a DJ hitting the decks while the prosecco flowed and canapes inspired by the Indian fusion cuisine for which the restaurant had become renowned were circulated throughout the room.
Guests were served Avocado bhel, Samosa tartlets, Chilli Chicken and Chilli Paneer and handed an array of sparklers which really lit up the dancefloor.
Nicco Restaurant & Bar co owner, Bhav Kumar, said: “This has been the hottest ticket in town. The energy, the glamour, the sheer star power in the room tonight has blown us away.
