A tiny take-away that does big food!…read more This little take-away is barely there, but it has a huge customer base. You can find customers often queuing on the pavement to be served. They serve traditional and wholsome bengali/indian food. You can buy a meal for two for about £5. The servings are very generous and will definitely fill you up. The staff are friendly too and often add a complimentary extra to the order.

This place is excellent if you want a hot box of delicious curry and you're in a hurry. Friendly…read moreservice from people who know their Indian cuisine combined with reasonable prices and a selection of wonderful flavours is hard to beat! If you're new to this they're usually pretty helpful in guiding you to the right solution, and they're also quick. The way it works is fairly simple; you ask for what you want in your box (up to two types of curry, two types of filler and chutney). For example, you might want chicken tandoori and lamb rogan josh with rice and naan bread and the sweet chutney. They put it into a box, stratifying the contents (so it goes rice then lamb then naan then chicken then chutney, usually) and you go home and eat it. You can get any one of three sizes for £4 to £6, and there are other combos and options too. As a bonus, if you live out near Evington they've just opened a branch that opens late!

This is my 2nd time here. I enjoyed it the first time at another location in London, but the food…read morestill didn't disappoint. I liked that you can order at the table on your phone or at the counter. It's strictly chicken with a variety of sides and sauces. It's a chain restaurant and they all have the same menu. It's a cool place to go with friends and family.

Quite a busy Nando's…read more Nothing crazy to review here; it's a Nando's that's well managed like most. Food quality is the same and decent. I always get the chicken thighs with peri chips and coleslaw, and these were equally good here as with the other branches I've had it at. Keep up the good work.

Maryland Chicken is one of the better fried chicken outlets in Leicester. The two main things it…read morehas going for it is its prices; they do some exceptional meal deals, with the cheapest being a ridiculously cheap £1.99 to other options for under £3.50. When you compare what you would pay at KFC for a similar meal deal, you would be paying double in most cases. Maryland Chicken is not only cheaper but I have found the quality to be just as good as more expensive fried chicken outlets (including KFC). There are plenty of options, including some delicious spicey chicken options. It can get busy here at peak times and at weekends, due to the popularity of the place, but turnaround is always very quick and even at the busiest times I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes. In terms of price and quality, Maryland chicken is hard to beat. In these difficult economic times, Maryland Chicken is the perfect place for all you credit crunch hit fried chicken enthusiasts!

Although not the best of the million and five chicken joints in Leicester, this place beats the…read morehell out of KFC in that its spicey food options are actually spicey and it doesn't cost you the earth. A wide variety of meal deals are at your disposal and essentially you can get a family meal for pretty much the same as a large KFC. The staff are hardworking and generally friendly, the portions are ace and they don't charge you extra for a sachet of mayonnaise. Leicester's chicken places are legendary, there are so many and many are halal, so if you've not been to Leicester before you really should try one. A chicken fillet burger, loads of fries and a can for £1.99? Yes please, m'laddo. You only live once.
