Cherians Food Court in Leicester

Host was great. Curry goat was 10 outta 10!!!!

The owner was really friendly and welcoming. The prices of the food match the quality of the food and the festivals are some of the best I’ve had. Their ability to cook Jamaican food and Indian food is amazing

Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! Tried the Porotta-Beef Curry and Poori-Masala, and both were absolutely delicious— authentic & flavourful. The porotta was soft and flaky, just like you’d get in Kerala, and the beef curry was rich and full of spices. The service was also great—friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. It truly felt like I was enjoying a meal back in Kerala. Will definitely be coming back.

I had food from here and I have never been so disappointed. I ordered oxtail which cost £15.36 by the way and it only had 6 oxtails wid full ah gravy! I’m here thinking that I would have gotten more with that price. I’m from the Caribbean and I have never seen such thing. The food didn’t even taste like it worth it. The coleslaw tuff an flavourless and the rice hard, dry and taste less. I can’t believe I spent so much money on this meal. If you’re going to sell oxtail for such a price… sell it with rice please. At least!

The food was delicious. The way of delivering food was impressive and especially thanks the lady on the front for her patience and description over the food and advices. The shop is quite small but I will recommend to it with your family and friends.

Exceptional Mutton Mappas at Cherians Food Court!! I had the pleasure of trying the mutton mappas at Cherians Food Court, and it was nothing short of amazing. The mutton was tender and cooked to perfection, bathed in a rich, flavorful coconut-based curry that was perfectly spiced. The balance of flavors was incredible, and it truly captured the essence of authentic South Indian cuisine. The service was prompt and friendly, and the ambiance of the place made the experience even better. If you're looking for a dish that stands out and leaves you wanting more, I highly recommend the mutton mappas at Cherians Food Court. A must-visit spot for food lovers! Make sure to post this directly on their Google review page for maximum visibility.

Impromptu visit was a pleasant surprise. Man serving was very friendly and food was amazing. Would go back

All food and curry are more delicious. Moreover service is good.

We ordered Onam Sadhya from cheriyans and it’s really a bite into bliss. It’s really an amazing spot to have a cup of tea and the delicious Kerala snacks ✨

Best Kerala food spot in Leicester that's the bomb. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the pazhampori and chai are to good. If you're a chai lover, this is the place to be!

Onam Sadhya was tasty and filling, and it felt like eating at home.

MISSING KERALA FOOD? YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. Nestled in a cozy corner of Narborough Road, Leicester, this charming little restaurant serves up some of the most authentic Kerala cuisine you'll find outside of Kerala. Despite its small size, the restaurant offers a delightful range of dishes that are sure to satisfy your taste buds. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and hygienic. I tried the coffee here, it’s rich, aromatic, provided the perfect kick to start the snak. The chicken fry marinated in a blend of spices and fried to perfection, it’s crispy on the outside and perfect for a snack bite. My favorite, the banana fry(pazham pori), is a delightful snack. The sweet bananas, coated in a light batter and fried until golden, offer a perfect balance where the taste still lingers in my mouth. The egg puff is another highlight. The filling masala is what makes it stand out. It's a great option for a light snack. The service was very friendly, and welcoming. This little gem offers a genuine taste of Kerala cuisine in a cozy setting. The flavors are big, and the hospitality is warm. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick coffee or an evening bite, you’re sure to leave satisfied. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the rich thattukada flavors of Kerala.

Lovely staff. Ordered the onam sadhya and was delicious and very good portions. Egg puffs are excellent! Will definitely be going back.

After seeing previous reviews of onam sadhya, we ordered the mega sadhya with 24 items. The reviews said one mega sadhya can serve two people because of the alleged large quantity, so we decided to try. We only received 22 items, they said the banana leaf was included as one of the items but we had to pay extra for real banana leaves anyway, so how can that be included in the price for 24 item sadhya? The quantity of the items were actually very less for two people, overall very disappointed.

One product that deserves special praise is the dosa/idli better from Cherians. Unlike the supermarket varieties, the batter is homemade with absolutely no preservatives. Hence you will see that the dough rises and sours just like how one would've seen back home. Kudos to Cherian chettan for keeping it real!

Dont try kuzhimandhi from here, its just a smokey dish waste of money....

You will love the Tea and the man. Haven't tried any snacks yet, but definitely the best chai in uk

Cherians Food Court is a must-visit for Kerala cuisine lovers. They offer an amazing range of snacks like egg puffs, thattukada chicken, sugiyam, and pazham pori—all delicious and authentic. The chai is excellent, and their meal options are satisfying. Best of all, it's super economical, making it a fantastic choice for great food on a budget. The only downside is the tricky parking situation, but the quality and affordability of the food make it well worth the visit.

Every customer is treated good Breakfast is good 💕💕💕💕

One of the best kerala restaurant in Leicester, I used to buy, evening tea snacks like banana fry etc, everything was so tasty and affordable. It’s a small restaurant and seating capacity is limited.

One of the worst Kerala food in Leicester.Very expensive when comparing to other restaurants and no taste at all.Chicken curry was very spicy and oily.

Authentic Kerala style food. Parotta and chicken curry is superb. I love it ❤️

We were very pleased with the food as it tasted homely. We would recommend this hidden gem and would visit again.

This surely has to be the best dosa I have had with excellent service and too good to be true food.

The coffee was rich and bold, just the way I like it. The egg puffs were crispy and flaky, with a perfectly cooked egg filling. And the chicken fry? OMG!! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and utterly addictive! The service was warm and welcoming to each and everyone. If you're a fan of Kerala cuisine or looking for a great cup of coffee and some tasty snacks, look no further! This place is a must-visit! Highly recommend!"

There was a very long waiting period, even for something as simple as a banana fry; I had to wait 30 minutes for it. Additionally, there was no cleanliness at all.

The food is fresh and so tasty. Tried their chicken mandhi which is also great. But I'm a great fan of their kerala snacks.

A small shop with Tasty kerala snacks. Good behavior from the staff.

Recently i bought chicken fry and it tastes really good. The texture and the crispiness remind me of home.

Festival dumpling is an old grandmas recipe, unique spices great flavour

Literally the worst shop to buy kerala food. We once bought two chicken biriyanies and it only came with biriyani rice and chicken with no pickles or anything. The manthi we bought for £10 each tasted nothing like a manthi, they didn't even provide us with the mayonnaise and tomato sause almost all shops give. The manthi rice wasn't even real manthi rice and wasn't cooked properly, the chicken tasted nothing like manthi chicken, wouldn't recommend if u prefer actual food. If i could've rated 0 starts, i would.

Very excellent food and service regally happy with the quality

Paid £17 (ordered online) altogether for a chicken mandi and it didn’t taste anything like it. The taste was bad and too expensive for the quantity we get. Not happy.

Good food options, authentic flavours

Great food at very good prices, would definitely recommend picking up from the store

Cheriya Chettan is an excellent person, who knows well how to cooking, serving and especially noted his calmness and smile. Surely will visit again.

Nice restaurant with good south indian food. Really must try. Good service by cherian chetan and wife.

One of the tastiest Malayalee food(From Kerala, a state in India) that I have had in the UK. Our favorites are the beef fry, Porrotta, chicken curry, and chicken biriyani. The banana fritters are a must-try. We usually just call-in for the order and collect it. Just feels more homely, and a good chat with Cherian, the store owner. Feel free to have a tasty chai tea if you are waiting at the store.

I ordered beef roast and Porotta from here. Charged very high price for a small quantity. Got just 2 Porotta for nearly 5 pounds and the quantity of beef was very low.Felt really bad

Absolutely delighted with the Kerala plum cake from Cherians Food Court! The rich, aromatic blend of spices and the perfect balance of fruits and nuts made every bite an indulgent experience. The cake was moist, flavorful, and truly captured the essence of authentic Kerala taste. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a delightful dessert or a unique gift! I'll definitely be returning for more of this delicious treat.

The best Sadhya I had in UK. I specifically liked the Inchipuli and payasam. Sooo tasty 👌👌

The food here is incredible, best Carribean food I've eaten, the owner is so lovely, such a likeable guy who is passionate about the food he makes, and you can tell everytime you eat here. From the curried goat to the ackee and saltfish dumplings, I love it here.

Awful… I ordered from here today and it was dreadful none of the dishes are traditionally cooked.. the “jerk” chicken was fried chicken in a sauce. And the jerk potato’s also the same sauce just on roasties. I had the brown stew chicken the dish itself was lacking on key ingredients of a brown stew chicken and was overall disappointing.. but my partner ordered as a Jamaican man oxtail and rice at a price of £22 and it was horrible, it was lacking in flavour and ingredients again the rice was like pellets not edible at all, the only good thing I actually ordered was the coleslaw, the only thing on the menu I’d recommend to anyone. Waste of £50 to be honest. Doesn’t take any pride with the food.

Onam sadhya is very tasty and affordable.. 😊

Onam sadhya which we ordered for our class batch was so good and delicious. Each and every curries were so good and the staff was so friendly. Thank you so much for the lovely onam sadhya❣️

Kerala cusine with traditional taste can be enjoyed here . I really enjoyed the onam sadya- an integral part associated with the national festival of Kerala (one of the south indian states).The taste as well as the varieties taken me back to childhood memories and mother's kitchen. Thank you

Home away from home delicious Onam food, enjoyed thoroughly, thanks to Sindhu & Cherian for making so special🤝

EXCELLENT FOOD INCLUDING INDIAN SOUTH INDIAN CARRIBEAN...Defintinely should visit if you are in UK..The Masala Dosa was amazing with traditonal South Indian style Taste..

PITIFUL … no better words to express the experience i had from Cherians Food court , Narborough rd . This food court is working only to make their pockets filled they are not concerned about the customers satisfaction neither the quality of dishes rather bothered about what all additional charges that they can add on to the bill randomly they charged me around 7 pounds apart from the price mentioned in the menu book . The most pathetic part is like customer’s can’t ask anything once they have prepared the bill you should pay and leave silently like Cherians food court is doing some charity and giving you food for free…. They prepare bills well better than their food . Humble suggestion take the other cuisines in Narborough rd .

👎🏻👎🏻Don't go there, I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The food was subpar, and the owner seemed greedy. During Onam Sadhya, they served extra rice without our request, and then handed us a bill that was higher than the menu prices. The staff's behavior was also disappointing, as they served extra food without informing us. To make matters worse, the food was tasteless. I would strongly advise against dining here.👎🏻👎🏻

😡😡Greedy restaurant owner, not recommended.

Wonderful staff and great food experience.

Best Festivals In the whole world no joke! Ive tried festivals up and down the country and they can't do it like Cherians Food Court! 5*!

Tnq for the wonderful food and service...

Tasty wonderful fluffy Porotta and perfectly spiced beef Fry.

Tasty snacks at affordable prices.

Average place where you can find Kerala snacks and other dishes. Had tried their snacks several times. Each time the snacks were too salty. I have felt It's a bit pricey for the quality they provide.

Very friendly and open hearted is the service man ! Of course when the heart is opened the food is becoming more delicious basically one of the most delicious Caribbean and Indian food shop i ever been. Just give it a try yourself. Peace ! Btw is it cheap as well.

One word: delicious. Definitely a must-try.

I have been in Leicester for almost 4 years now and this restaurant offered me the BEST food♥️

If you are from Kerala, it's your go to place from snacks like banana fry, parippuvada etc..they also do Kerala meals, biriyani and Mandi..❤️ Also they do Carribbean food.

Friendly and professional staff

What a hidden Gem. Me and my friend accidentally found this place whilst looking for some food and oh my god it was amazing! The food is unreal! Service with a smile… the staff here treat you like family. Will be eating here every weekend! Thank you for providing such a great service ❤️

What a delightful place. The service is so welcoming. The food like home from home. Thoroughly enjoyed. Back next weekend, with my friend 😀

Nice food and excellent service

The best egg puffs ever had. If you are in Leicester you should try the egg puffs which tastes like South Indian.

Below average food and very expensive. Very oily and has a bad oily taste to all food.

Adipoli , very good kerala style poratta and beef loved it. It takes you back to Kerala in the first bite.

Good food...perfect choice for South Indian food..Must try the Kerala snacks too..

Food is pathetic, especially Kerala food. Price is like a fine dining restaurant. Better biriyani at 5 pound in Usthad hotel, in Belgrave.

Recommending this shop to all south Indian food lovers ... Best Porotta and beef I've had yet in UK

Tasty food....i had masala dosa and egg puffs today which was so tasty...sambar and chutney is also so good...10/10 for today's dinner.highly recommended....

Had a wonderful onam sadya with 21 sides. The dessert - adapradaman, which we had was really tasty. worth it - we bought 2 for 4 of us and we were so full after that. Will certainly give a 5 star ⭐

Today I had Onam Sandhya from Cherians food court and it was really delicious.Definitely recommend.

Very friendly and the food was delicious! I would definitely recommend and revisit.

Great food. Got the Chicken Biriyani, Egg Puff and the Tropical Guava juice. Price and Waiting time when compared to others were above average but everything was great and tasty. The shop totally has has a vibe and look of shops back in Kerala, India. Great Friendly staff. Would recommend totally.

Kerela style meals....comparatively a good one you will get from Leciester...

Best Place to get Kerala food. Love the egg puffs and tropical vibes juice bottle.

Curry goat full of oil, plus around 4 pieces only, highly priced and ya just paying for oil the rice is £5 for a small portion who charges that , so in a nutshell poor quality food highly priced full of oil calypso is better cheaper and quality I won't be coming here again.

One of the best keralite's food in Leicester ❤️❤️❤️

I'm Indian, my husbands Jamaican. It is the perfect place for us! The staff are very friendly, the food was very delicious definitely recommended it. Jerk chicken was our favourite 😋

It's a real gem. Such homely food. If you like authentic south Indian and specifically Kerala it will touch your soul.

I've now become a regular as I love the food and staff. The food tastes very very good, big portions, very very reasonably priced. The staff are so laid back and friendly it's a pleasure to speak to them.

Very nice experience and tasty south Indian foods in reasonable price

The food was sadly bad, the rice was not cooked properly, the coleslaw was disgusting, no taste at all, the plantain was not cooked properly it wasn’t fried It was soggy. The worst Caribbean food I’ve ever had!

Quite possibly the worst festival and mac I have ever had. Id be ashamed to send this food out to a oaying customer and ashamed to call it Caribbean food. Its just oily mush. Im so disgusted.

Ordered the curry goat , rice & peas + sides .. Food was absolutely incredible & portion sizes are big will definitely be ordering again.

This was my 1st time ordering and Wow the curry goat was perfect by far the best caribbean I've tried in Leicester ill be ordering again thank you and keep up the good work ;)

Very nice staff nice food great portion sizes

Food was good ordered jerk chicken barbecue wings and oxtail.

One of the best food courts I know. Very welcoming and friendly staff . Always my favourite is Masala dosa .

Very good food and friendly staff

Amazing curry goat goood portion for the people make a good business for your self keep up the great work 26 Pelham way

My first experience of a takeaway from here and it was spot on. Ordered two mains with rice and various sides. Price very good. Food ready on time. The food was excellent, and loads of it. Will definitely get food from there again.

Fabulous and awesome place to eat on all occasions. Be it when you are alone and bored, when you are with friends and mates, and when you are with your family too. High level of hygiene and fantastic taste. The food is served by very friendly and warm-hearted people. You will get the taste of your native cuisine and a homely atmosphere. Competitive quality and price.

Brilliant home cooked food to eat in or to take away . Friendly staff . Can't do enough for you .

One of the top 3 on narb road deffo

Excellent curry goat and rice meal

The food is all left over Sunday for Monday. The place it's really dirty. The chicken was disgusting as it was 2 days old. The staff is great but the owner is jerk. Can't take any criticism if you tell him that your staff told me that your chicken is not made today.

The niblets smelled of fish, must have been fried in the same oil. Jerk chicken is ultra dry. Special doner kebab had nothing special about it, was super bland. Mac n cheese was also dry. Maybe the fish dishes are better.
