A Wednesday evening..... 1/6/16…read more The 2 stars are for the staff, starters, and the price of the wine. First, if I had realised that the Food Standards' Agency had rated the place as a "2", then I perhaps wouldn't have gone. Friends of ours keep rating the place, which is slightly cheaper than the Redolence Spice on Unicorn Hill. Right, deal with the positives: Extremely friendly and attentive staff and good with our kids. The place place had quite a number of full tables, but they accommodated us very quickly. The wine was reasonably priced for a restaurant. I'll just deal with my meal first: Starter: Tetul Mix, and I asked for some fried onions, and these were added, and extremely tasty dish. I wanted to go for the Chicken Tikka Rezella, however I didn't want the bhindi. I was persuaded, by the waiter, to try the Chicken Tikka Naga Shiri. I asked if it had onions and peppers, as I am not a "just a sauce with meat" person. I was assured it did. What I wasn't expecting was the onions and peppers to have them puréed. My first bite into the chicken revealed it to be either overcooked, or old and cooked. It was tough. I battled through. I asked the waiter if the chicken was fresh, or frozen chicken defrosted and then cooked. He assured me it was fresh. My son's meal (Chicken Tikka Chasni) wasn't a lot better, and the sauce just bounced off the meat; another sign that we are dealing with previously frozen meat, and that the meat had been boiled in a large pot (possibly) with turmeric to give it the tikka look. My wife was disappointed with her Chicken Tikka Madra too. My daughter's Shahi Malai had a very unusual sauce in the middle. They didn't do draught cobra, so had the large bottles. I think we all agreed that the starters were good and tasty. Total cost: £80. Unfortunately, we have to say we will not return; my friends will still go due the cheaper price. Redolence Spice is about £1.50 per main meal more expensive, but we know they use fresh produce, not bags of frozen meat purchased from the Chinese market in Birmingham. Plus they have a "5" from the Food Standards' Agency. Also note that the only place to park nearby is the pay and display car park at the Redditch railway station.

We were given a table just inside the door by the window, which was fine because it wasn't too busy, and the service was friendly and efficient. Poppadoms and Cobra beer got our taste buds excited, and we weren't disappointed when my stock favourite, onion bhajee, arrived. Freshly cooked with a crisp salad, it was first class, and then we moved onto the mains. Lamb tikka, chicken jalfrezi , pilau raice saag bhajee and paratha all pleased. The decorations and furnishing in Sheraz are in a style that was contemporary in about 1980, but it's clean and inviting and we'll be going again. £37.50 for the food including three pints of Cobra.

Do not under any account go to this restaurant if you like a curry after 12 pints of lager. 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.
