Consistent quality and service, we've been dining here for years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. They are happy to alter dishes if you ask too. Good selection of meat/fish and veggie. Owners are lovely too!
Best place in whole of Leicester to have a curry. Food and service is amazing. Make sure to try the sizzler, cheese and chilli roti and the amazing variety of curries. Easy to find, plenty of parking and a bus route just outside. They offer take away options too. Drinks are amazing. Make sure to take advantage of the Indian beers on offer to make your meal taste even better. Make sure to finish off your dinner with one of their tasty desserts.

There was a party of 15 and the starters came out on time and was spot on, also the mains. Table service was good. Cobra all the way, 660 bottles too. All our food was good and hot. Deffo come again.

Delicious food and very friendly service
Went to Celibrate our Wedding Anniversary on the 16th May 2025 and we were highly delighted with all the excellent, Service, Food, and Friendliness. Having lived in Ceylon, Mauritius and Malaya I was impressed to find the food was as good as if not better than all of these places. Indeed the "Curried King Prawns" cooked to a Medium Hotness were something special. Thankyou to all the Staff
What an absolute pleasure it was eating here, we came to syston about 6 months earlier and the place was full so we didn't get a table. Soon as we sat down we were welcomed by our waiter who was hands down the best waiter I've come across,very attentive, knowledgeable, and gave very good recommendations. Food was on point, and for the first time in an India restaurant at the end of the meal we were presented with a dessert menu, my head was fully blown. I asked for an ice-cream in a pot to takeaway, how they packed it was beyond any expectations. They filled a foil bag with ice to keep it cold. Someone will be special enough to be given a gift card, yep you read that right, you can even buy gift cards for this place, how amazing! Will definitely be back soon!
The lady Matre 'D' is very knowledgeable about the food, helpful and friendly! She's worked here for years, knows everything about the food, so ask ! All the staff are polite and friendly. We had 4 Popadoms and the pickle tray with extra red onion mix as pre starter, Popadoms are fresh and crispy. Big size portions of the pickle tray! First time ever we've actually left some ! Then we ordered onion bhaji starter, with small bit of salad and lemon slice. These come as 2 per portion! slighter smaller than a tennis ball size ! Hence we shared starter. Then I had chicken Tikka masala ( the best I've ever tasted) and I've eaten Indian food all around the UK , Jay had Hariyali chicken, it's marinated in their in house green masala and cooked in a green spicy herb sauce, coriander is a key factor. You can ask for extra chilli or garlic in any dish. We had mushroom rice between us, and a portion of chapati. ( Comes as two pieces) I took a third of the rice and a good portion of my masala home! This place is well worth a try ! Garenteed you will come back ! I also had 3 double Brandies and lemonades, and Jay had 3 pints of kingfishers. Total bill came to 80. That's amazing for 3 courses and 3 drinks each ! , Sorry photos are in reverse order !
