Its a bit further down the main road but worth the walk. The owner was so gracious he recommended a few dishes and even prepared one for us we hadn't ordered which was our fav..chilli chicken.

Don't…read morego if your idea of Indian food is eye wateringly hot chicken phal, nor if you like blood red Tikka Massala. This is, to its loyal and discerning followers, by a considerable distance the best Indian food that you will find in Leicester. Family run, by a gujarati family displaced from Kenya more than 30 years ago, it conforms to the highest standards. I have been going there for 15 years and can say, with total honesty, that I have never had a bad meal. With the wonderfully courteous Dinesh looking after the 40 cover restaurant, which has been recently fully refurbished, and brother Ashok masterminding the cooking, a visit is more akin to a visit to an exclusive dining club than your regular curry house. Meat, fish and vegetarian options are imaginatively and stylishly prepared and served, and Ashok will happily cook to order if your particular favourite is not on the extensive menu. This place does not get awards, or feature in guides because it doesn't need to. The do not need to solicit cheap publicity. Beloved by Leicester's Indian and English communities alike, it is a good idea to book because it can be packed - and not always only on Friday and Saturday. I cannot recommend highly enough, because if you want a truly high quality meal (not the cheapest, but that should not be an issue) then this is the one. With starters, sweets and a few beers, it can run to thirty or forty pounds a head. But it is money well spent.

Inside on Sunday lunchtime, the place was buzzing but a table was soon found for us. There's no draft beer, so we ordered Peroni and a bottle of Argentinean Malbec. The food order was taken promptly by a friendly young waitress. The starters of pâté and toast and calamari were both good and the roast topside of beef was splendid. This a lively place, well-patronised by families and deservedly so.

I thought I'd better share this review after my recent visit to the Waterfront Restaurant in Market…read moreHarborough after my marathon 3 hour sitting! The Waterfront is almost totally free of taste or character and, as described by my brother in law, the main restaurant area is one up from a school canteen. The tables were arranged in a specially designed liner pattern; the waiters appeared to be also specially trained in deliberately bumping into all of the guests! This started off being a comedy moment but after the seventh occasion I realised this wasn't so funny, and was starting to get some sort of repetitive injury. I changed tables to one closer to the waiter behind the bar who was posing as an undertaker. The dining experience started after over an hour (and two complaints) when my food finally arrived. Other people were clearly waiting longer than our party and I could hear the grumblings of a lynch mob forming. My authentic Eastern European waiter professionally tried to diffuse the situation by saying, you want more bread then? My starter arrived which can only be described as a watery crayfish cocktail; it had been clearly defrosted during the monumental delay. There was a good pool of what I can only describe as fridge water left in the bowl at the bottom. To be fair and give a balanced review the main course was as described; rib eye steak which was tender and well cooked, although I may have been choking on the price. The accompanying bowl of boiled unseasoned vegetables was ok but rather insipid and the McDonalds-style fries were equally as described (although obviously they didn't have the packaging). The crowning glory of the service was the surprising edition of a gravy thumb print in side one of our bowls of food from presumably the waiter; I'm really hoping it was gravy. To finish my sweet was fine and as described, however one of my group ordered the cheese board, which I hate to say was misleading, there were four thumb sized style pieces of cheese and four biscuits to be accurate. Overall I was disappointed with the whole dining experience mainly over the expectation of the price versus food quality and service. The restaurant isn't cheap, in fact it's one of the most expensive in the area so for the price (and joking aside) I expected more than this. It seems that the owner, the chef and I have lost interest.

I'm not a fan of chili and Indian restaurants are often my worst nightmare but this place is a real exception because the chef can tailor to your taste buds. We also tried the new lunch buffet last week and I was quite impressed - they had a decent variety including my favourite veggie dishes (panir tikka masala an saag aloo). This is a traditional Indian restaurant and they have authentic and delicious Indian food. The staff are always really nice - looking forward to going again!

Date of Visit: 30/1/26 (Friday)…read more With my wife and grandchildren (2). Bill: Pre-Snack Meal (poppadoms - and tray) Quite a different selection of "Pops" - £5.89 - Realy enjoyed. 3 x Kozhi Kurumulagu - £15.89 each - £47.67 Boneless chicken, cooked in a black pepper based sauce with onion, ginger, garlic and turmeric. Everyone enjoyed. 1 x Seafood Biriyani - £19.95 Rice, prawns (only 3), king fish (2 small pieces), Mussels (none) and Squid (none). Really tasty sauce with a bit of spicy kick. This had been recommended to me by a work colleague. I didn't mention the missing items at the time as I was with my grandchildren. In hindsight, I should have done. 1 x bottle Viognier - £31.75 - Good wine and well chilled, with a proper ice bucket. Bill Total - £113.51 All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Nice ambiance. There evening service starts at 18:00, but we arrived just before that time and they were open and other customers were already eating. I would return, but I'd mention the missing items about the seafood biriyani. Apart from that I'd order it again as I loved the flavours.

The Anoki experience starts the moment you step through the doors, the service is first class, all the waiters wear traditional dress and treat every single customer like royalty. The word 'Anoki' is Urdu for 'unique' and this is reflected in the highly creative menu, each dish has been carefully designed to be unique, distinctive and incredibly special using only the finest ingredients. The Goan Sea Bass is one of my all time favourites, flawless presentation and the aromatic sauce perfectly complementing the delicate flavour of the fish. I cannot recommend any of the 3 Anoki restaurants (Burton, Derby, Nottingham) highly enough.

Many people aren't aware of Indo-Chinese cuisine but it is an Indian adaptation of Chinese food (immensely popular with vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike) so you'll often see dishes prefixed with chilli, schezwan or stir fried. Despite trying much of the menu here the chilli paneer, aubergine stir fry and salt and pepper mushrooms remain firm favourites (sorry Indigos I know the crispy bhajia and veg manchurian are popular but I still think my mum makes these better). If you're in Leicester and fancy some heat, pop over to Indigos to get your fix.
