FoxyPalace.com Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Hey guys, Well me and my wife are coming to Leicester on Saturday 23rd April for a long weekend. Whats the best curry house's in Leicester currently? I am a Leicester lad but things change, We are staying at the travelodge in the centre so we are located well. Any suggestions??
Bellend Sebastian Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Paddy's Marten Inn gets consistently good reviews, but not exactly central. Unhelpfully, a lot of the good ones are in the surrounding villages now. City centre wise (and very near the railway station, which may or may not be relevant), a personal favourite of mine is the Kayal on Granby Street. Not the cheapest, and you won't get a Chicken Tikka Masala in there, but the quality is great

Rincewind Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 I think it is mainly vegetarian. Only had takeaway at the Kayal but it has won awards. there is one nearly opposite the station that has good reviews.
Soar Fox Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Yes the Kayal seems to get very good reviews indeed, will check out the menu. Not tried it myself but Lilu on Highcross Street is supposed to be very good.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Kayal is meant to be fantastic but I've heard you're very much on top of people there. Also it's Bangladeshi isn't it? I could be wrong but I'm pretty certain it isn't your standard Jalfrezi and pilau rice gaff. The Tiffin on London Road used to be great, not been in in a while, always looks quiet these days. That Lilu place gets recommended a lot on here - check that out maybe?
KievFox Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Get yourself down to the Indian Queen, Melton Road, grab a table upstairs or at the back. It's been refurb'd. It's where the 'Indians' eat. Very busy on Weekends.
glar84 Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Chettinad on London Road is fantastic and also Chutney Ivy.
SunLCFC13 Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 As per Kievfox below - Indian queen - I'm Indian family been going there 35 years can't beat it
Webbo Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Paddy's Marten Inn gets consistently good reviews, but not exactly central. I've heard good things about that place too. I'll have to try it soon.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 I'd recommend Kayal. Always been quality in there.
Itsthejoeker Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Lilu is great in the centre Lilu is decent, went there on Una's recommendation a few months back
FoxyPalace.com Posted 5 April 2016 Author Posted 5 April 2016 Great thanks guys brilliant response, Going to book the Kayal and try a yummy Dosa. I do actually like the vegetarian indian food very tasty indeed. Big Thanks and lets win this league...Up the Foxes
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Kalal is South Indian, tasty but fairy mild, bit like Sri Lankan. Most 'Indian' restaurants are actual Bangladesh. Didn't particularly like Lilu, bit pretentious. Shimla (there's a rat in the kitchen...so we'll ignore them) Pink produced good food, but with little helpers. Martins- great Blue Peter was great but got bad scores on the door.# Taj was good but now closed Go with what the Indian guys on here recommend if you want quality, not always the best looking places though
Bettsj2 Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Paddys is so fvcking good it makes me cry that its 5 1/2 hours drive from me.
Rob1742 Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Can you still get a £5 special at The Akash? How they ever did that I will never know. Tiffin was great, but that's history too. No help I know, but the old meadowbank pub in Wigston is very very good. Whenever we go for a curry Leicester way now we go there.
Brown Fox Posted 5 April 2016 Posted 5 April 2016 Paddy's Marten Inn by a country mile and being Indian myself I back myself to know where's good! If you are going make sure you book in advance it's literally full every night. Go for the salt and pepper prawns too, trust me best decision you'll ever make.
Guest Col city fan Posted 6 April 2016 Posted 6 April 2016 Kayal is meant to be fantastic but I've heard you're very much on top of people there. Also it's Bangladeshi isn't it?

That Lilu place gets recommended a lot on here - check that out maybe? Very true. The food is delicious but not typically jalfrezi etc. The dishes are quite different to mainstream curries. Expensive too vis a vis your standard tandoori
