Bobby's in Leicester

Very nice occasion, good food and great staff make it a very memorable occasion, thanks 👍🏽

Cold food , masala dosa was not crispy cold was told it is gujarathi dosa. Sweet was dry and old not fresh South Indians avoid this place you won’t enjoy if looking for desi food

Amazing food and warm service at Bobby in Leicester! Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully made. A big thank you to Ashu, our lovely waitress – she was so kind and attentive. Can’t wait to come back!

Sagar was great together with Ashu. Very friendly and attentive. Made mums birthday special

Bobby’s was fantastic- on short notice they did a large catering order for my spiritual group. They did traditional Indian sweets, snacks, simple food, and wedding style food. It was all delicious and they were so accommodating with our many requests. I highly recommend for your events! They’re such heartfelt people.

Lovely food and family friendly atmosphere!

Whether you’re a long-time vegetarian or just someone who enjoys good food, Bobby Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Great food, great service, and a great team. Highly recommended! Special shoutout to Sagar and his team, who went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional — attentive, friendly, and always ready with a smile.

Wonderful Mother's Day treat! We enjoyed an outstanding evening meal here, with truly delicious and authentic Indian cuisine. The service was speedy and attentive, thanks especially to our wonderful waitress Khushi, who made sure we had everything we needed throughout. A perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion

Disappointed on today's visit as it seems minimal staff on the floor to look after a fair few customers.

Amezing food as well as service Thank you Het,khushi,wishva,sagar and ketanbhai We will coming again

Had Thali take out ask for mild ,I got mild very tasty best.i always like bobbys restaurant friendly staff good service

Bobbys is one of Leicester great institutions and it never lets you down for food or service love coming here. Sagar our service was great attentive and available to help when required. Thank you once again and we will be back again soon.

Service from Sagar Patel was exceptional. We have been a few times in the past but haven’t been impressed with the service and Sagar and his team were amazing. Even under pressure he kept his professionalism. Thank you so much for the lovely service Sagar - you are truly an asset to the business.

Good treatment and so sweet like home Thank to Ashu so cute girl

Excellent food and service. Had a really delicious meal. Thanks to Sagar and all the team who made the experience wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!

We bought some snacks and sweets from Bobby's. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and the food was fantastic! Definitely recommend this place!

The food was horrendous was stone cold and gave me a stomach ache. Food was clearly old and wasn't pleasant at all stay away from these con men.

Dave and I (Jim) went to Bobby's for a Thali on Friday 28/3/25. This was my first visit for over THIRTY years. We were absolutely bowled over (sorry about the pun!) by the very warm greeting we received. The meal was excellent, service first class, atmosphere great and they now have an alcohol licence! Don't usually but had to leave a review on this occasion. Thank You very much indeed.

I have been going to Bobbys for at least 15 years. I go from Warwick especially for the chaats. The service is abysmal. The chaats are no awful . I went two days ago and the chaats (6) were awful. No yoghurt in them and no imili. It’s gone from bad to worse since Monika left. Not a family pulling together anymore. Is it a training issue or just very lax attitude???! Shame / there are other shops there that still take pride in. I honestly can’t see Bobbys lasting much longer. I won’t be going again -SHAME !! Vote with my wallet.

Yummy food prepared very quickly. Always so much choice, my favourite veggie restaurant for sure. Excellent service from Sagar, very helpful, attentive and smiley!

The staff, food and atmosphere were amazing! Thank you Ashu, Sagar, Het for looking after us. Cant wait to come back again soon!

Khushi was great in serving us and food quality was very good

Bobby's restaurant is a lovely place to eat and relax. Good customer service and delicious food. We go there regularly and would like thank Ashu, Deepika, Het and all staff 🙂

Yesterday i tried Indian restaurant in Leicester which was really nice. Food is best in bobby’s. Most importantly the staff and ambient were great. I never tried Indian food before thats why i went there all the way from burton and sagar their staff member helped me choose different platters. I highly suggest you guys to try bobby’s with your family and friends.

Great staff great food car park around the corner reasonable prices Sagar really helpful just perfect

Fantastic food. Flavours that you will struggle to find any where else. Came all the way from Mansfield on a recommendation. Excellent friendly service and relaxing atmosphere. We had a variety of dishes. Finished with a Mango lassi. Will come back!

One of the greatest restaurants ive ever been to food is fantastic and authentic ,service is so quick and the atmosphere is just right for anyone 5/5 Extra thanks to Dips and Hari who made our experience even more memorable

I visit the place yesterday , it was my first time to have my lunch in this restaurant I’m very pleased , the service they gave and i really enjoyed the food

Food is good. Deepika and Khushi very prompt, polite and friendly, provided excellent service.

Lovely venue, highly recommended, Good vegetarian food, fast service, good atmosphere.

Honestly, where do i start, had a few tables empty and we were stood at the entrance waiting to be seated for about 10 minutes. After being seated , 40 minutes no one served us we had to manually tell them. Food wasnt what we expected, one of my party members is allergic to one thing, we made sure it wasnt in there, they were so hesitant with their answers. The main reason im writing this review was because of the service, our food came out 1 by 1 which shouldnt even be an option. We went for a FAMILY meal and based off the service we basically went solo. Definitely will never reccomend or even look in the resturants direction or even consider eating there. Lesson learnt to check reviews before actually going to the place as it already has bad enough reviews. We complained to them in person saying their service was quite slow and wasnt happy with how the food came out, glad the waiters were self aware how bad the resturant already is. Please save yourself time and money, do not come here respectfully.

Another fantastic lunch with family and friends at Bobbys. Food and service was great, lovely to have so much Gluten Free choice. We had Thali’s, paneer masala, paneer with spinach, Dosa’s, rice flour dumplings, lassi. We ate so much sadly couldn’t manage dessert. Need to pace ourselves better next time. Will be back soon.

Would like to thank Reshma for the great service. Thanks for being patient and very helpful.

I was told half an hour for muttar paneer and a butter naan, continued with the order, returned 30 minutes later, they said another 15 minutes, after the 15 minutes they said we burned the naan so it will be another 15 minutes. I never received my order until 1hour and 30 minutes, JUST for a curry and naan, this will be the first and last time I will ever order from them.

Worst food I ever had and worst service!

Pathetic food - order to table takes 2 hours - none of the food item tastes good

It’s amazing good excellent service by Sagar thank you Bobby restaurant

Excellent service delicious food...recommend thalis

The food here was absolutely amazing, my particular highlight was the Punjabi thali, it was a great way to sample all of the lovely food! Definitely will come here again and recommend to anyone.

Lovely meal, service was amazing They checked in with us frequently to ensure food was good. 10/10 recommend. Extra thankyou to Sagar, Het & Khushi who made our experience even more memorable! They were very accommodating for our little one and gave her nibbles, she was a very happy girl!

My wife and I went to Bobby's for afternoon tea. We were given a warm welcome and shown to our table - I had booked a couple of days in advance. The food was delicious - so different from a traditional afternoon tea! There was a great variety of different dishes, our favourite was the Corn Bhel, and the there was so much of it. Just when we thought we had finished another dish would arrive. We couldn't finish it all but they kindly provided a couple of containers so that we could take the leftovers home with us. Great service and a very enjoyable afternoon. Thoroughly recommended!

Went to Bobby’s restaurant today to celebrate my brother in law’s birthday. We were looked after by Dips, Hari and Kyushu who provided an excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble. The food arrived promptly and was delicious.

My family brought me to Bobby's for my birthday lunch. As usual, the food was fantastic and service was fast. A special shout out to the fantastic helpers, Hari, Dips & Khush. They were super efficient and friendly and even sang happy birthday to me twice!

The time for the food to arrive was extremely slow. It wasn’t just my table that experienced this as other tables were also making the same complaint.

Bobby restaurant is the best place to eat in Leicester Belgrave road today again we went there for lunch the food is amazing and delicious especially Pani pury , dai pory , Pangabi samosa chat, mango lasi, and masala tea the service provide by four girls Name Dipica Harpit, Ashu, Kyushu they are very friendly and helpful, every time we come to visit Leicester city this is batter place to eat and we always go there for eat , every kind of food is delicious here

I had a very unsatisfactory experience at this restaurant. The food quality was poor—the dahi puri and masala dosa were not tasty at all. The service was extremely slow, and despite the long wait, the staff forgot to serve the fried rice I ordered until the very end. Such poor service and unappetizing food made the entire experience disappointing. I do not recommend this restaurant based on my visit.

An awesome menu with great service !!! Kyathi and Het were just fantastic Loved the chaats !! You genuinely will love all tue food varieties

Friendly and helpful staff and delicious food.

I was visiting my sister and she took me to Bobby’s for lunch. I had traveled from the US and do not have Indian restaurants where I live. I had a delicious meal and the service was great. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. I brought the book back to the states with me so that I can enjoy some Indian meals here at home.

Somewhat costly as per food quantity and taste.

I have wanted to come here for a long time. It’s worth every penny. The most delicious food. Fantastic Thali, chaat and Dosa . All vegetarian. Look at all our empty plates

Super friendly, great atmosphere and delicious, fresh and indulgent food!

I swear I will never buy any sweets from This shop. They don’t make any authentic sweets, it’s just full of sugar and prices are unreasonably high. Last time I bought sweets for Diwali, I felt so bad. I thought it might be Diwali demand and supply business but no I was wrong and become fool again to buy Baklava. It has no pistachio or any dry fruits filling, in fact it is full of sugar with semolina. Huge Huge disappointment.

Where to start the review. Heard about this place what a disappointing experience. Starting from the service at the service counter we were group of 11 and the counter people stray away refuse to provide service no manner of how to speak to customers. After waiting for over 25min we got separate seating area (not a problem) ordered different foods like of /special chat masala dhosa, pav bhai ji, thali, Mango milk shake and so on (a lot to List) Mango milk shake was like water most probably mixed just mango plum with milk same with other shakes with ordered totally waste of money. Food masala dhosa not even going to write anything not even wort of writing. Don’t go there totally waste of Money and time

Had a fantastic time at Bobby's, came in with my mum and sister. All the staff were amazing and friendly, they went above and beyond. Ketanbhai, Khayati, Asha and all the staff a Hugh thank you The food was so delicious 😋

One of the worst restaurant I have ever visited in Leicester. We ordered dosa from here and taste was awful.

Excellent afternoon tea experience at Bobby’s Restaurant. Fantastic food with great service. We will be definitely be returning. Special thanks to Huei Dipta who looked after us.

Bobby’s Restaurant – A Disastrous Dining Experience ⭐ 0/5 – Avoid at All Costs I visited Bobby’s today, hoping for a pleasant meal, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. From the moment I stepped in, the service was appalling, and the food was nothing short of a disaster. Customer Service – Non-Existent The staff were disinterested, unprofessional, and seemed completely unbothered by the presence of customers. We were left waiting far too long before even being acknowledged, and when we finally placed our order, it felt like we were inconveniencing them. No smiles, no courtesy, just a robotic approach to taking orders. It seemed as though they had no training in hospitality or customer service. Food – Overpriced and Tasteless For the price they charge, one would expect at least a decent meal, but the food was shockingly bad. Bland, poorly presented, and utterly lacking in flavour. It was clear that minimal effort had gone into preparation, and the ingredients used did not seem fresh. Even the simplest dishes were a letdown. The starters were cold and uninspiring. The mains were either underseasoned or overcooked beyond recognition. Even the drinks seemed watered down and below standard. Given the price point, the food should have at least been edible, but instead, it felt like a complete rip-off. Ambience – Unwelcoming The atmosphere of the restaurant was just as uninviting as the food and service. The place lacked warmth, and there was no effort to create a pleasant dining experience. Tables were not properly cleaned, and the overall vibe was dull and lifeless. Final Verdict This restaurant should not be open in its current state. The owners seriously need to reconsider their approach to food and customer service before they inevitably lose business. At the very least, they should invest in proper training for staff, improve the quality of ingredients, and most importantly, focus on delivering a dining experience that justifies the high prices. Until then, I would strongly advise avoiding this place. There are far better restaurants where you will actually receive good food and respectful service.

Amazing food. We opted for Jain options and the taste was impeccable. They were really kind and attentive to our 1 year old baby too. A really comfortable place to dine with family. I highly recommend this place. I have been here multiple times and the quality remains the same.

Ok food. Bright and cheery atmosphere. Friendly service with a smile.

Simply the best vegetarian restaurant in Leicester

Went to Bobby’s in Leicester a few days ago. The restaurant was fairly quiet. I ordered a Gujarati thali and my family ordered some side/starter dishes. The thali was not very impressive at all but the side dishes/ starters were excellent. We have dined at Bobby’s many times over the years. We are pleased that Bobby’s restaurant and in particular Dharmeshbhai Lakhani, Enna Lakhani & the team are providing a good service. The quality of the food is generally good and the service is good. However, lately the takeaway orders have not been good because of the amount of sugar and salt in foods. For example, the crispy bhajias were so salty that I had to throw them away. We have realised that on some days you get good tasty dishes and on other days they are not so good. On the whole, I’m pleased that we have a Gujarati food restaurant that caters for vegetarians like me. But if Bobby’s could become more consistent then that would be nice. 🙏🏽

We've been going to Bobby's for 35 years. It's gone from good to bad. The furnishings are all modernised but didn't like that they have removed the buffet. We used to come for that. In fact my whole family used to come. Starters were good . The prices are horrendous. £14 for Gujrati thali. We ordered 4 but as soon as I finished my food I got sickness and diarrhoea uncontrollably. I was ill for 2 days. Although the food was tasty I felt they put too much hing in all the Curries which upsets my stomach. I have never had this problem before and I do to eat out. Service was far too slow 3 times we had to go to reception to ask for stuff, even the lady that was working there apologised. Initially we waited a good 25 minutes before our food arrived. It's a shame it's gone down so much. Well we certainly won't be going there again, waste of £100 !!

Hi, Today we went there. I ordered vada pav , Baingan Bharta , Paneer Tikka Masala , Tandoori Roti , Chapati. I don't like this restaurant it was not good. If anyone look proper punjabi food so this restaurant is not for that. I only like tandoori roti which was soft nd thin. Chapati is not properly cooked. Paneer is hard and we order paneer tikka masala and i think they gave shahi paneer kind of. Baingan bharta was so much oily & no taste. They gave our order in 35 mins. Still food was not good. And Vada Pav , Pav was not good its look like burger bun. Thanks.

Excellent service, food was delicious with large portions.

Delicious vegetarian food,lots of options available and best sweets in Leicester....

Love Bobbys! Food today was 10/10 and service equally good thank you!

First time visited yesterday. Outstanding food, Amazing customer service and the staff are so warm and friendly they make you feel at home. Can't wait to visit again. Many thanks

This is the best place to go to eat authentic Indian food. I've been here several times and quite often we're the only white people in there. Which means it's good, cos it's where South Asian's go to eat real real Indian food. Flavours are so good you don't notice you're eating Vegetarian food. Worth a drive all the way to Leicester for lunch.

Not the greatest! travelled to Leicester from London and went to this restaurant. Ordered quite a lot of food however some dishes were very disappointing. If you buy mitais from this place, please check them first!! The photo is how we received the mitais (half eaten) disgusting!!🤮 I ordered a chilli paneer dosa, firstly, it didn’t come with a lot of paneer inside, the dosa was extremely oily, it was also a little cold. The masala dosa was again similar and the masala inside was tasteless + all the chutnis and Dhaal which came with it were not nice and also tasteless. The Loaded Bombay Chips were also not the best, they were standard chips with grated cheese over (not even melted), the cheese naan tasted frozen! The only 2 decent things was the bhel puri and the bhinda fries however these were also slightly salty. The masala chai we ordered just seemed like kettle tea but they made it sound fancy on the menu. We had to wait 30+ minutes for our food and even then they forgot one of our dishes so had to wait another 5/10 minutes for that. Overall I would say even though this restaurant looks nice from the outside and it is full of people, I wouldn’t recommend Myself and my family were disappointed and didn’t want to argue about it with them as we were already tired from a long drive to Leicester and back to London.

The best place for Indian food in Leicester…just ask Rick Stein! I've been coming to Bobby's for over 20 years, and each time the quality and service remain exceptional. It was fantastic to see this recognition in Rick Stein's Food Stories. The food is always freshly prepared, and the chai is absolutely delicious. The flavours are rich and complex, with a spice level that can be tailored to your liking—perfect for me, as I'm not great with spice! What truly sets Bobby’s apart, though, is the outstanding service. The staff, managers, and owners go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, often greeting you personally at your table with recommendations and eagerly seeking feedback. I frequently bring friends and family here, and they’re always impressed, especially since they never miss the lack of meat on the menu. They offer plenty of vegan and gluten-free dishes and cater to all! As an Indian, I’m very particular about where I enjoy Indian food—nothing compares to home-cooked meals. But Bobby’s has become a true comfort spot for me. The food is always warming, homely, and satisfying. With a menu featuring Gujarati classics and inventive Indo-Chinese twists, I always look forward to my personal favourites: aubergine stir-fry, papdi chaat and crispy bhajia! Their Indian inspired afternoon tea is exceptional, with plenty of sweet and savoury options and drinks choices - it’s a lovely treat for a celebration! I’ve recommended Bobby’s to countless friends, and I’ll continue to do so without hesitation.

We had a fantastic breakfast. Very tasty, lots of options and owner was nice enough to ask about the service and food. Would recommend anyone who wants a nice comfy Indian snacks and meal.

Literally very very bad experience you know the which one old guy always there for take the order he’s lier I’m student here and I want to share my experience with all Leicester people before two days I’m coming to home from my work and I was very hungry I thought today I will buy food from Bobby restaurant then when I will go in this restaurant then I did order 10 plain chapati and dahi and methi sabji and my total bill was £17.50 and the I asked to this old men how much he said to me £23.50 then I was shocked I asked again how much but he’s said me again same £23.50 then I did count total and then he said to me yes 17.50 maybe he think that she’s new in the uk and she’s don’t know about anything and don’t take roti from there roti is not big not medium just like that for 4 year child seriously very very bad restaurant next time don’t cheat with any student no anyone is nonsense stupid ok

Food was good, but did not come out at the same time. We had the Indian afternoon tea.

The best special chaat and chilli paneer and bhaturey ever! We came to Bobby’s after many many years for our fav chaat and it did not disappoint. The family have done Bobby proud by keeping the standard as high as it ever was!

Very bad experience we ordered punjabi thali ,vegetarian fried rice and dosa Worst taste andof dosa not properly made Vegetable are in big pieces Than in thali we found a hair in rice Fried rice is overpriced and tasteless Not enough for one person Even staff not bothered to come and talk not even the owner also as she was seating there and watching all this After i said i dont want another thali in exchange they bothered to not charge me for that thank you for that Very bad experience and wont recommed at all Never going back there

....This restaurant has been at this location for a very long time. They have a Hugh menu,providing gujarati dishes. A wholly vegetarian establishment, their thali will leave you licking your fingers. The dosa was the best in town. We took home kichoris and mixed bhajhias. Every dish here was made to perfection. Parking is a little different. There were plenty of tables available and the service was excellent. Great experience.

Food was soo sweet and food was not outhenic.

After 30 years of eating at Bobby's I still love it. Vegan friendly too.

This is a great spot to feel like you are stepping into Mumbai! What a treat with authentic street food. Wonderful and friendly staff that helped explain everything!

What an super evening. This was our first visit and it won't be our last that's for sure. Thanks to the owners Dharmesh, his wife and Kathy who served us with genuine care and consideration So interesting to learn more about the restaurant's family history too. Our meal was delicious, that a doggy bag is needed. We will be back with a gang to enjoy this place very soon. Thank you

Been coming here for years and the food quality is the as good as it was years ago.

Lovely, Ashu and khyati served us and we had great advice and even better food. The Pani Puri were an absolute taste sensation

Christmas treat! Lovely food and great staff. Had a dosa and some other dishes. All of them delicious. Nice recommendations from the staff.

Great food and lovely, helpful staff who advised on menu choices. We had children with us who tried lots of new dishes. Will definitely come again!

Had a great time and delicious food. Service was brilliant

Lovely evening Tasty food and very friendly service !!!

Ordered pappardi chat and the ingredients, especially the papard, were not fresh at all. I could tell it was at least 2/3 days old. Tea was stone cold. Complained to the assistant and he took no interest. Will not go again.

Beautiful and good vegetarian food at a reasonable price. Cafe style seating with plenty of space. If you want plenty to eat and nourishing, tasty food then come here. I went away full and happy after eating the Gujarati Thali 😊

What a jem of a place? Highly Recommend. Food and service was brilliant.

Are open Wednesdays, as of 18/12/24.

Second visit to Bobby’s this year and just as good as the first. This time we tried the Thali’s which were fantastic. Wonderful flavours, great service and outstanding value.

We had the afternoon tea and it was simply AMAZING!!! Try not to eat anything beforehand because you will need the space.

Perfect dine in nice place for meetings. I being seating in this resturant for last 25 years Well known for best Indian vegetarian food Best Indian chats / bhel and pani puri eaten ever Nice thali and best Indian chai.

Bobby's provided the Mithai for our wedding and we were exceptionally happy with the result. The presentation of the sweets was superb and the taste was delicious. We had no problems with our order and Bobby's staff made the entire experience very easy. Finally, our guests were all highly impressed with some calling it the best Mithai they had tasted in a long time. Great restaurant too. We pop in any time we are on Belgrave road. We fully recommend Bobby's to anyone!

Great service from Dipika. Great food fresh and delicious

Really nice food and ambience. We always go here for some good mithai and lovely food. Great service from Khyati, Ashu. Thank you for looking after us.

A really excellent lunch with friends. We've coming to bobbys for years and it is consistently good. The vada pav and pani puri were excellent and the punjabi thali for main also very good.

Need to trained the staff,lady over there is so rude 👿👿

Ordered two plates Wet Manchurian balls but after going home realised the food is uncooked inside. It is completely waste of time and money.
