Bellend Sebastian Posted 5 April 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 5 April 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Walsh5 Posted 5 April 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 April 2016 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KievFox Posted 5 April 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxyPalace.com Posted 5 April 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hazels shorts Posted 5 April 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettsj2 Posted 5 April 2016 Share Posted 5 April 2016 Paddys is so fvcking good it makes me cry that its 5 1/2 hours drive from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1742 Posted 5 April 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Fox Posted 5 April 2016 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
