All in all I was pleasantly surprised - not only was the food very good, but the prices are lower than the other all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant nearby and the food, in my opinion, is nicer. The starters are roughly the same as the starters you get at other such restaurants: present and correct was the sesame prawn toast, the fried chicken wings, the crispy aromatic duck (with pancakes), the spring rolls and the dumplings. The mains, too, are fairly run-of-the-mill for such an establishment, with a range of options covering chicken, prawn, pork and the like and a range of tastes from sweet and sour to curry via black bean sauce. However, the devil is in the detail and they were all brilliantly executed (except for the lemon chicken, by which we were slightly disappointed). I was also impressed that the rice ran out much less often than you'd usually expect and I was also pleasantly startled by the availability of sushi and similar things in the buffet, which went down very well. In addition to all that, there was a teriyaki bar where you could get things cooked to order with your choice of sauce (although I was so full after sampling the extensive buffet I didn't get a chance to try it!). For pudding there were fritters available and a freezer full of tubs of proper ice cream to go with it, unlike some restaurants' desserts which are just sundaes kept ready in a huge freezer or a Mr. Whippy-style ice cream dispenser on the side with some marshmallows. I always appreciate a restaurant doing desserts that aren't just different arrangements of chocolate and icecream! All in all, I had a wonderful evening and I can't wait for round two later in the semester.

It's based downstairs so look carefully so you don't miss the entrance, which sports a (recently beheaded) terracotta warrior. It's clean and light, although the tables are as characteristically crowded as all these places are in Leicester. Wide choice of food, although finding the rice can be a bit challenging for some reason, however, as I say, especially at lunch go to the place on High Street - it's half the price for the same quality and service.

Wish I could cook spinach like that! I always like to try the chili paneer if I see it on the menu, this one was according to my liking - the spices and sauce and firmness of the paneer, mmm! It's a nice option for dinner as well as lunch. The staff were nice people and very accommodating with my allergy requests and took precaution with cooking methods. The ambiance is low key, but nice. My wife decided to go for a Blue Hawaiian drink, for some reason she seemed to think that would compliment a veggie south Indian lentil dish, as you do....I'm all for fusion and experimenting, it just looked too funny with all the traditional food and a tall blue glass umbrella drink next to a pot of brown dal. The brother in law said it looked like drinking half a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner.

It's not an intimate quiet place to dine. The menu is standard Indian restaurant fare, but its is 100% authentic compared to balti or curry houses. As such it tastes a lot better and tastes freshly made. Portions are good sized and the waiters helpful. Unfortunately they don't have real ale and the lager tastes weak there, may be they should improve the bar side of the business.. Generally I would say it is fair value for the food you get. Two things do annoy me about the place: 1. Being hot spicy food, you might want to drink water with your meal as well as beer or soda. Unfortunately, the restaurant does not provide tap water, so you will have to buy bottled water. This is a straightforward money making thing in my mind. 2. They automatically add a 10% service charge, I don't mind this, but I wisj they would write this some obvious on the menu instead of on small letters on the back, which is a bit crafty.
