Asli Zaiqa in Leicester

Great and tasty food. Desi breakfast is a must try dish. Great Customer service and great ambience to enjoy food. Lovely interior design.

I like the food but just need to add that I placed a phone order to collect the food and upon arrival was told cash only when there was clearly a card reader on the counter which he took away quickly. I had to go to the nearest atm which charges £2 for cash withdrawal. Disappointing

They took some time to bring our food by the way.

Great place for pakistani buffet. Breakfast is best in leicester. Service is excellent. If you are looking for best and tastiest Halwa Puri in leicester this is a place for you.

ordered paranta the chef give us roti with a bit of ghee on it. i approached the chef he said that is a paranta it was clearly not, i told him leave the breakfast he said that is what u getting take it or leave it.

I came here all the way from Birmingham to try it with family and friends since they have stated they are a Pakistani restaurant little did I know this is a Punjabi restaurant with disgusting food my son received a hair in his plate and the staff were so rude to us and rolling their eyes the chefs were sick we could see it. You probably think I’m lying but I seen some blood in the food.

Normally nice but last time food was very poor, old and thickened with too much starch/flour

Excellent food and service. Always the best.

Always found them as the best in pakistani cuisine.

Hi this is 3rd time in last 2 months that the food is not good. Tast is different from before and specifically chana is hard and dry, halwa is same dry and paya is also no tast. I think the cook is changed that’s way not the same now

Pure desi touch, delicious food. Prices but higher but acceptable for the taste Highly recommended

The taste of food is superb and authentic.

One of the best payas I have ever had. Good price. Halal. Cash only. Nice staff.

My first and last time here. One of the worst experiences I’ve had with my family. I ordered a chicken curry with 2 roti and it came like this (see picture) the worker practically picked it off a table that someone finished and gave it to me. There was no meat in it. When I confronted the guy he went to kitchen and made another one. The roti that came with curry was cold. When asked why they’re cold he said “wanted to bring food altogether” The breakfast 3 puri , halwa was actually ok and hot. Very rude service from the guy when said roti is cold and chicken curry that had NO CHICKEN. I’m not coming here again and if anyone wants to stop themselves wasting money and possibly having an upset stomach. I recommend you stay well away.

Abysmal. Went around 7.30 and the place was empty, should have been the first red flag. Thought we'd give the benefit of the doubt, biggest mistake ever tbh. There was literally no food apart from starters, thought they would bring it out as we were eating and nope, nothing! Literally scraps and left over. Shocking.

The food was alright but the service was slow took almost 40 mins to get the food

Authentic Pakistani taste, definitely recommend it,.

Amazing food. The lamb karahi was to die for! Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants authentic desi food.

Absolutely loved the buffet. Delicious, authentic desi food. Felt like I was back home. ❤️

Nice restaurant with authentic desi food. Recommend book table as busy. Refurbished recently, buffet is available.

The idea is good Was surprised that the breakfast menu does not include any form of eggs, like omelet Asked for pakoras and that also not available

The food was good, but prices are gone high now

Halwa puri here - worth a visit

Good food Good price great service Must visit place

Very good restaurant with good food and prices. Their naan is the best!

Amazing food and good place! Best naan in Leicester

Tried authentic Pakistani breakfast multiple times and never regretted it. Tasty Halwa puri and prefect desi breakfast ( Paratha with desi omelette). Desi chai is also nice.

Great food, authentic and reasonably priced Ambience is a shortfall, however, it is a restaurant with great offerings

Nice sitting area Excellent reception services Superb food Easy access Parking in street, lucky to find a place Taste was highly recommended Halal food Good luck Aslu Zaiqa

Very very Unhygenic place ,people got offended when tried giving them feedback. There is advert on the main entrance that they accept all kind of cards but when you go the counter they will say only cash and there machine is broken . Especially on one instance person with beard who was standing and serving was quiet aggressive in front of my family and was using cuss words . Regarding food ,third quality taste and seems like was cooked few days back and is being served. Workers very rude in behaviour and not mainting the personal Hygiene when serving the food . Person with beard who was nose picking and serving the Naan. I will give zero rating and wont advise anyone to go thete

Delicious food with excellent service. Clean place with a few parking spots. The food portions were satisfactory. Tried Lahori chana and naan, halwa puri, paya and tea. Every single dish was full of taste. Highly recommended place to visit with family.

I went there with family it was vey good experience nice food .

A typical desi place. Loved the cholay and paratha. Tea is very good.

Subhan Allah. What a great food. Amazing Halwa puri with paya and nihari. Feel as eating in Pakistani. Best staff and owner. Very great place to eat buffet with family I recommend all Leicester great food lovers to come and try once and you will Go again and again Insha allah

ordered Paya double portion, it was a single portion with 2 rotis and 2 naans for £32!! tasted nothing like paya and was totally disugting and went straight in the bin

Very good service and tasty breakfast

Went for halwa puri. Excellent breakfast options. Would definitely visit again Good Pakistani food.

Good atmosphere. Food was not very extra ordinary but good

Ordered a double portion of the Channa halwa puri for delivery on just eat. The portion was half of what I’ve seen on pictures of other reviews. Rang up and they said it was a double family portion they had sent out. Flavour was 4/5. Lesson learnt. Don’t bother ordering online.

Very good buffet, can't go wrong for the price £15

The food was amazing as always. Have been coming here for years and find it impossible to get tired of. The breakfast has such a unique taste that it is only found here in this restaurant. Their buffet at night is also very tasty. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to try a very authentic Pakistani cuisine.

Awesome, an hidden gem. Paya and Aleem is the best.

Asli Zaiqa in Leicester stands as a beacon of authentic Pakistani cuisine, especially for those craving a taste of home. Their breakfast offerings are a delightful journey through the flavors of Pakistan. The channy (chickpeas), nihari (slow-cooked meat stew), and paye (trotters) are cooked to perfection, brimming with traditional spices and aromas that transport you to the bustling streets of Lahore or Karachi. The star of the show, however, is their Halwa Puri. This classic Pakistani breakfast dish is arguably the best in town, balancing the sweet halwa with perfectly fried, fluffy puris. The quality, coupled with reasonable prices, makes Asli Zaiqa my go-to spot for a Desi breakfast experience. Only when suggestion, always ask the waitress to read back your order to make sure, they have written down correctly what you are ordering. While I haven’t ventured into their English breakfast options, their extensive menu caters to diverse tastes. For those looking to explore more of their offerings, Asli Zaiqa also hosts a Pakistani Halal buffet from 5-10 pm, which I am eagerly looking forward to trying. This place is a must-visit for anyone in Leicester seeking authentic Pakistani flavors at pocket-friendly prices.

Amazing taste. I would defo recommend

me and my family visited Asli Ziiqa today and we all really enjoyed ourselves. food was fresh,tasty and with some new dishes to try, and the service was 5 star 🌟 would definitely recommend Asli Zaiqa to you all.

I went with my family for buffet. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Starters was amazing. Kids really liked pizza and lasagna. Definitely we will book again.

Great food, an amazing value for money

Worst experience… customer Service 👎👎👎👎👎 never ever again..

Wrost experience i ever had been waiting for order for more than an hour! Then when i asked the staff then staff said they don’t know how long that will be! Ridiculous customer service. Never ever again.

Dirty and unhygienic. Poor service. Young lad behind the counter treats clients poorly. Has no clue. Very disorganised and chaotic in general. Food is bland, and very very expensive comparatively. Feels like a back alley place in Lahore. No parking. All in all, just a dump. Don’t see the hype. It’s not even cheap.

Had the breakfast there sunday morning. Food personally was very bland. Service was good. I would say it is expensive.

Atmoshohere could be better. Food was excellent.

Nice food, fresh food so takes time. Good pricing.

Always fresh and delicious food, services staff is like friendly i mostly go there family for breakfast

We spent £39 for 2 persons and food wasn’t fresh even haleem wasn’t very fresh and nice we order Chapli kabab I think they made chapli kabab week ago it’s so expensive and it’s just wasting of money

The food served was hot, delicious and authentic. The service was quick and polite. Just needs to be a bit cleaner. Would recommend to others looking for a hot breakfast!

Needs an update. They need to start taking card payments.

As i am lahori munda, been there couple of time always eat halwa puri ,this time try paya and kulcha nan ,wah ji wah really enjoyed ,very tasty always recommend it +++++

Good Quality food, Cheap prices

Spent £46 in shop yesterday on parathas of various kind (qeema, plain & aloo) and we all have stomach problems since. They weren’t cooked properly so we tried eating bits that looked slightly more cooked through, as we didn’t want to throw food away. Absolutely awful.

The driver went to the wrong address and couldn’t speak English. The address was clearly written and easy to find. Disappointed, food was all cold and squashed up.

We were in Leicester for cinema, found this place relatively close to Piccadilly cinema. Place was completely empty when we went in, the paya was tasty but shockingly small portion (paid £13 for it). Tandoori chicken was very good. But shabby service and portion size makes it 3⭐

was reasonably ok, but as far as I know, they are not doing it anymore

Asian food hub tasty and delicious enjoy with family and friends specially breakfast menu.

Great food at great prices. They offer a typical pakistani breakfast on Sundays which consists of nihari (lamb shank curry), halwa-chana puris, haleem, paya (trotter curry) and chana (chickpea curry). It's very authentic and my families favourite breakfast in Leicestershire

Kid on the counter was great, good food and service.

These guys do a top halwa Puri breakfast it was really good The service was quick and efficient Defo recommend the halwa Puri breakfast

Food is OK but portion is not good with price

Excellent Sunday breakfast good size portion

Great for breakfast especially halwa puri

A great little old school place. The food is well priced and seemed friendly enough. We really enjoyed the halwa, puri, chana

Authentic desi spot with excellent food and amazing hospitality! Clean premises and ideal for families, feels just like home. The channa, puri and aloo paratha are an absolute recommend.

Food is best staff in un professional and I feel bit rude not clean as it should be no family sitting if don't book in advance.

Sunday morning breakfast, Halwa Poori was very tasty, not very oily and decent sized portions. It's more of cafe then a restaurant but perfect for breakfast. Breakfast menu is a bit limited Seems to be popular

Excellent people 👏 👍 Excellent service 👏 👍

Tasty breakfast 🍳, had paya and naan, all food was tasty and fresh, must place to go for breakfast

Very disappointed experience today. This must be our 10th visit and the worst one so far. None of the dishes were fresh. Even the nihari which is a kind of signature dish for them was tasteless today. This experience has really put us off as a family

Asli zaiqa is very good restorent in leicester Ashion food breakfast and sweet eny time avable thair and good srrvice

Please update your timing i had to drive 50 min and come to take away

Best halwa puri and nashta... Excellent option for Desi Nashta

the closest thing to authentic pakistani food

Best pakistani breakfast in Leicester, always love coming here

Worse ever food. Rubbish quality. Went to Leicester for a night out and someone recommnded it. Pricy food with nonquality. Samosa had contaminated meat. It was smelling badly. Can’t believe this place is in uk. Avoid it

Halwa puri and chana was good. We liked the plain naan and tea too. Nihari taste was not authentic. They accept payment in cash so you need to make sure that you carry enough.

Always a delicioous experiane.halwa puri and nihari kulcha is a must have!! 👌

Great food, the place could use some updates in decor, but to be honest, that's not what you go there for😊 they serve the best Pakistani breakfast in all of Midlands!!!

Food quality is excellent, service is good but prices are a little higher. The price should be down by at least 10% down.

Great food... Great service. Good prices..

Food was hot, fresh and delicious. Staff attitude was good.Seating is not well organised, staff needs proper training. Cleaning is also required in the store.

Very tasty puri halwa., specially chana. I enjoyed my breakfast. Staff was friendly and prices are very reasonable.

I ordered the nihari as I had seen good reviews online, but after eating it I was ill for 24 hours with severe vomiting. The gravy was bland and very bad in taste, and the naan was not fresh. It was from a packet. I would not recommend this place as the food quality was poor. The Chapli kebabs was ok and the chips I ordered was soggy and burnt. I have tried many niharis but this was a total disaster. I wasted £25 on my order. Will not be going back to this place!!!

Whenever I allow myself to eat something unhealthy, I come here. It's good here.)

Very bad service 0 points on everything they do. never again

Went for the buffet. but the food all tasted the same, it was too oily, the place is not managed well. Buffet food needs to taste different and warm, if the food is not heated well then it becomes cold and the oil starts to float on top of the dishes.

Nice place. Nice food. Take out or eat in. Nice range of desserts.

I bought cahnay and naan Saturday till today have big tummy problems

We went for breakfast. The food was amazing! Great taste! Service was on point too!

Great Halal breakfast, very busy on weekends

Enjoy going for breakfast here. Nihari is lovely, soft and tender meat with plenty of flavour. The culcha nans are fresh and fluffy and the omlettes are delicious. Grear traditional food.

I went there it was very bad experience bad quality food and expensive never recommend anyone
