We visited tonight on a Groupon voucher which was simply knocked off our bill, no special menu for Groupon vouchers. Special care and attention was given to us as my daughter tried a chicken korma for the first time. We had chicken tikka masala, channa masala ( chickpea) and CHICKEN HARYALI. All beautifully prepared and presented. Peshwari rice and Naan we were all stuffed. Our every need catered for. Clean and fresh linen. Lovely staff and service. Would highly recommend.

Visited for the first time tonight for Leicester Restaurant Week and cannot fault the experience. Amazing service from the owner and staff, we went with their recommendations and were not disappointed. We had the Beguni Fritters as a starter and shared the Aloo Baingan and the Lal Saag Paneer for our main course which were two of the best dishes I've had for a while. We'll definitely be back!

Called in on the off chance before a show this evening. They accommodated our table of 6. Fabulous staff with an amazing sense of humour to add to our evening. The food was superb and the “in a hurry buffet” offered us the opportunity to try something new. Thank you all.

My friends and I went here Saturday about 5:30 before we went to see Muriel’s wedding at the Curve and we all agreed that the service, the staff and the food was amazing. My friend is celiac and my other friend is vegetarian, the selection of food for us all was great and it was yum! Oh and daiquiri pink fizz cocktail was brilliant!

Indian restaurant in the heart of Leicester. The food & service was very good. Restaurant & Bar . Toilets at the floor below ground. There is no lift so toilets are not accessible for disabled people and wheelchair users. Plenty of sitting arrangements inside & outside. Nicely decorated. This restaurant has won many awards in their excellence and taste of thier food. Parking is paid in the multi storey across the road. Parking is discounted at this restaurant which is a bonus.

Wonderful experience from the moment we arrived. Mohammad went the extra mile to make our evening special. The Aloo Palaak Ki Tikki was the best starter I have ever tasted. The Raunaq-E-Seek hit the spot. Mains were delicious. The Peshwari Naan fruity and wholesome. The proprietor even stopped by to say hello.

Simply outstanding restaurant run by a wonderful person and his professional team. Lovely seating and surroundings, and very well decorated and furnished. Located at a prime spot in the heart of Leicester near theatres and hotels. There is also a basement venue available for hire for those special occasions and events. I highly recommend you try this gem in Leicester city.
