Two years on and it’s definately not good anymore, all there food is microwaved including the papad, rice and everything. Nothing is chilli and there Aubergine shaak was like a soup that was undercooked. There mitai has been Keri no ras for the last year and is straight from a tin that has definately gone off its use by date!

I originally asked for Dosa but they said it will take 40 mins to make because they don’t ever use the grill and everybody only orders the thali. When I finally got served Bhel Puri which took 30 minutes to wait (how hard is it to put that together!!!), I got so fed up that I ordered the Thali. This came within 5 minutes and it was totally horrible that i ended up getting a stomach upset the next day. Considering that there food bins are just outside the toilets, smells horrible on first and only 1 chef and 1 waitor it’s no wonder i’m not feeling well and why i’m not happy at all with this restaurant if you can call it that.

Best stick to the home cooking and I would warn everyone not to go here unless you want to get food poisoning!!!!

I second your review Sanjana. We just ate there last night and were simply amazed. My husband liked the Thali so much that he had 7 chapattis (never eats so much). We quite like Dakshin as well. It is a south indian restaurant that also serves nice indo chinese food as well. In fact we were headed to there but spotted Madhuri and thought we'd give it a try. I tried the Chinese Chilli Paneer and Hakka noodles – LOVED IT! We live in Chester and visit Leicester once a year to devour the lovely pure veg food that we can. Oh just one thing, does anyone know of an eggless cake shop in leicester. I really miss the eggless cakes and pastries that are commonly available in India.

I spotted this one last time I was in Leicester (we live in Nottingham and often come to Belgrave Road). We usually end up in Bobby's but will try Popat's soon for sure. Love your blog btw, I am an Indian food obsessed vegetarian so it's right up my street.

Very professional & well done review. Great photos as well. Good for you…I cannot seem to take photos in a restaurant. Maybe one day I'll get over it!

That such a great deal! Here in the US I recently saw a vegetarian thali that cost $25! I'm going to have to check this place out when I get to the UK 🙂
