Dipali in Blaby

Naan bread missing so we had to mess about cooking extra rice while the food was being kept warm - getting dried out. And then had to try and get a refund sorted. Not what we had planned for a relaxing evening. :(

ordered Tandori mixed grill received prawn

tasty food and amazing quality! will be ordering again xx

fantastic service thank you very much.

Delivered on time, very tasty food. Would order again and recommend 👍

great food great quality and delivery was on time reccomended

First time ordering, lovely food! Will definitely order again!

The food was delicious would definitely recommend this restaurant it was not there fault they was a little late with weather conditions

Always great food take away or eat in.

Ordered a lamb madras, the lamb was so tender and delicious. Couldn’t fault any of it 👏🏻

First time ordering online for a delivery, website was very easy to use especially given the vast range of curries etc, we ordered separate dishes for all three of us and we all tasted each others and all tasted very different from each other and were tasty! Ohhhh the delivery driver was a few minutes early!

Always a great curry from Depali, our favourite Indian takeaway. Always on time or early, with everything always there and nice and warm and fresh

Tried several times to order online but couldn't as "website was down". This was clearly an excuse. Eventually placed order over phone. On arrival, owner was arguing over phone with customer. Was kept waiting then when takeaway food arrived was charged £5 more than website said. Owner said website no longer relevant. Food was horrible. Poppadoms wet and stale, cheesy naan had only teaspoon cheese and curry tasted "odd". Apparently, recent reviews have identified this takeaway as the source of their food poisoning! Wish us luck! 🤞 Won't ever be buying "food" from here again!

Tried to order online and had issues with the website when I finally got it ordered and collected was told a higher price than the website naan bread wasn’t fresh the cheese naan just had a small bit of red cheese on it and didn’t even taste of it. The jalfrezi was not nice, veg was hard, chicken tasted off and the sauce wasn’t nice, the papadams were stale and naan wasn’t fresh. As I’m writing this I’m not feeling well. Wouldn’t recommend at all and next time will go to my usual Indian takeaway in south wigston. Avoid this place

Lovely local restaurant and staff very helpful and attentive. Food is great. Did a wedding celebration here and it was such a lovely atmosphere and family had a great meal, really enjoyed the afternoon @shelleycostellophotography www.shelleycostello.co.uk

Ordered and paid on their website. Got home after collection and they hadn't put in 1 rice and 1 nan that I ordered. When I called they said it didn't show on their print out. They have not seemed welcoming and slightly grateful for sometime and they offered to make me them for collection but I was 20 minutes drive away. They said they didn't know how to refund my Google pay . The food taste is now lower than average and lots of sauce with small amounts of chicken. I will avoid them at all costs from now on.

Beautiful food, quick delivery. We use it all the time and recommend.

Received menu through door and thought I'd try as a change. Ordered through advertised online providers, but waited ages for order to be confirmed. When I got fed up of waiting I phoned the land line to be told there was a gas leak and they couldn't complete my order. Cadent website showed no issues, so either something was lost in translation and they meant the gas supply was off. Anyway, they told me they couldn't complete my order! Why allow people to order? Just close the online portals?! Potential customer lost, perhaps I should have guessed by the fact they were having to mail drop.

Please read requests on people's doors. It's rude to ignore and post flyers when we have asked politely not to have any junk mail. 3 stars.

I did try and call the restaurant but they were closed, then looked for an email address but couldn’t find one so here I am! The food took about 45 mins to arrive, I thought this was reasonable and the driver was friendly. Unfortunately, the food was awful, I ordered a garlic chilli lamb, mushroom rice, cheese and chilli naan and chips. The lamb was ridiculously chewy and flavourless, the curry was unseasoned and bland, there were a few raw chilli’s chucked in which were unpleasant to come across. The mushrooms in the rice were pre-sliced at a guess and very rubbery and undercooked. The chips were soggy and cold. Finally the naan bread was the smallest naan bread I have ever seen and it was dry! My description of the food is as accurate as I can be, despite how bad it was, I think I’ve actually been quite generous! Maybe it’s better if you eat in but I would personally avoid like the plague!

Ate here yesterday and although the food was lovely and hot (although to be honest, much spicier than described!) the service was abysmal. The waiters were rude, we felt very rushed and as though they didn’t want us to be there. We were also charged £2 for tap water and £13 for 8 poppadoms and dip which seems extremely steep. Will not be returning, there are plenty of other Indian restaurants in the area with much nicer service and good food.

Amazing very delicious thank you!

Order was short of items. When I called restarant, the staff member who answered was unhelpful and I was left dissatisfied, however this is the first time I've had cause to complain as Dipali is generally reliable both in terms of food quality and service.

food was great apart from rice was missing from the order

My go to Indian. Never had a bad meal here. So tasty and great service. However, last night was very, very poor. Prawn Puri was OK, no taste in the prawns. Butter Chicken was bland and no taste at all. Chicken was so chewy. My partner had the Chicken Bhuna, her chicken was the same. We both left it, very dissapointed.

Chicken tikka masala was watery not sure if it’s cause it’s been delivered. But tasted great. The other thing is that it says on just eat that if you order above £25 you get a free side dish and I never did and my order was above £25

very tasty food big servings as well

Just had a superb and tasty Madras, while the Mrs had the Biryani. Naan and rice bang on. Can't recommend highly enough.

Made me and my family ill 🤒. Raw chicken !!!!

Food poisoning. Please avoid. Raw chicken and re heated rice. You have been warned. @!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Over 2 hours and still no delivery. Apparently it's been with the driver for over an hour????????

ordered at 18.15 confirmation email at 18.17 saying received , still no order at 20.45 rang restaurant they said never received order money taken no food

I never normally leave reviews but the food was so good, came piping hope aswell was absl delish

Not good! Do not order Tikka Masala, it will be nothing like you expect! Not in a good way!

Really tasty Indian food. Veggie and non veggie are great. The chef specials are good

Have been using this restaurant for year's. Great food, brilliant service always look forward to going there for a family treat 😊

A very nice place for tasty Indian but need to improve more with better waiter

Wow!! Ordered my first takeaway after moving to Blaby. Excellent flavours, & generous portions. I don't have takeaways often but will definitely use Dipali again . I absolutely advise you to try them

Good tasty food - a bit cold on delivery arrival.

Unfortunately, the delivery driver did not read our note on the order asking them not to knock as our children were asleep in bed, woke them up but hey, the food was tasty. Shame we didn’t get poppadoms and chutney after spending £36 which you would get free elsewhere.

Amazing food always fresh and delicious,

I think the driver missed our bungalow and drove passed and the food was cold

being honest I loved this place never went wrong but this time was awful, freezing cold and spilled everywhere in bag and delivery driver was rude and emailed just eat and they havnt even emailed back, quick enough to take the money though!

Missed poppadoms that I'd paid for

First order, really enjoyed it.

Missing keema naan bread second time some food missing from order

Beautiful food best Indian in Leicester

Fantastic cuisine, delivered quickly, couldn’t fault.

We all really enjoyed our dinner. 😊

Recently moved to Blaby so a first time trying. Had set meal for 2 and I'm now looking forward tying lots more off the menu. My food was banging. Definitely be back soon. Thanks go out to you for are great food

First time ordered from this restaurant, really good food, will be returning !

I feel I should be even here: a Friday evening visit didn't start well - parking was an issue and when we finally got into an impossibly empty restaurant (at 9:50pm), the elderly gentleman who received us insisted on placing us (my wife and I) at the most undesirable set of seats in the house! OK, so moaning out of the way, now on to the food: extraordinarily brilliant. I had the Duck chilli starter followed by a mixed tandoori and pillau rice was washed down with a pint of Cobra beer. My wife had the chicken pakora then lamb biriyani and a glass of red wine. The service was great (not the elderly gentleman) and the bill for two came to shy of £60: an excellent end to an excellent evening!😀 Ps - the men's toilets are brilliantly decorated fresh and very well kept! Can't speak for the Ladies though.

Food was good .drinks prices quite expensive .

I asked for 7pm but get message at 6.30 it's ready . If i wanted 6.30 I would have said so

Great meal with my family service great and food nice 👍

its normally good but the last one was very salty

Exactly on time and piping hot

Amazing food. One of the best curries I’ve ever had.

Delivery was as expected and the food was hot. Unfortunately, the curry was very disappointing. It was very oily and lacked depth of flavour. A clue might be in menu, suggesting that the meat is cooked and then added to a pre-prepared sauce, instead of marinating. The effect is that it resembles an oriental dish, rather than an indian/Bangladeshi one.

Food was excellent best I have had in a long time, although the managers accent was barely understandable apart from that an enjoyable meal especially when the manager arrived with the landline phone to take the card payment.

Beautiful food and very fast delivery

Had the chicken tikka and the fish curry dish. We had upset stomach shortly after.

Very good food..faultless thanks...4a👍

Little mistake with order was corrected straight away, couldn’t ask for better, thank you for everything

Really great takeaway, always arrives hot and everything is very tasty. A real fish curry specialist! I’m not sure all chicken had to be tandoori chicken, but apart from that - the best Indian takeaway for us by far! And we’ve tried them all!

Great food, only slight issue was the onion baji was a bit tough, but we travelled around 15 mins so appreciate that, great food!

Lovely hot and tasty takeaway, worth every penny!

Delicious takeaway, delivered hot and everything really great - highly recommended!

Fantastic food catered for 14 people. All dishes served hot

Amazing quality & tasted amazing! Will definitely be ordering from here again! Thank you!

Quality hot food delivered on time, thank you.

Excellent as always, hot, tasty and always plenty

I’m not actually sure what time the delivery was ‘due’ but the restaurant had not passed my note on to the driver! Which has the directions on as we’re rural and the post code doesn’t work. Therefore I spent more than 20 mins on the phone trying to explain to the driver where to go, I could see where he was sat and I was trying to explain to him to turn left down the hill, sadly he didn’t understand any English and my partner ended up having to drive to him, at the top of the hill half a mile away, to collect it. I paid for delivery and still collected it! The food was nice however, and not as cold as I thought it would be, but sadly the delivery experience means we probably won’t order again.

Excellent food, great service,best ' delivered indian' ever had in nearly 40 years..it's consistent...thanks from 4a

An hour and 15 mins is too long to wait for a curry. Got too late for the children. Food was okay.

Very friendly staff and great food

Really nice takeaway, everything very flavoursome and warm.

I have visiting the Dipali since 2000. Always pleasant staff and good food. Thank you guys. Looking forward to my next visit.

Absolutely shameful. We went here a year ago and didn't enjoy it, but thought we'd give it another chance. Was probably worse this time. If you're looking for a decent Indian it would be more worthwhile to wait for the 85 bus into town. We ordered butter chicken, which was just thinner korma and not even stirred through properly; Lamb nihari, which had no depth of flavour, just a spicy tomato base, not a nihari by any stretch of the imagination; and matar paneer, which was just the generic curry base you get with a poor biryani with "some" paneer and a pile of peas. Note the word "some" here, we had 2-3 pieces of paneer each (two of us), 4 very small pieces of chicken tikka, and 4 small pieces of poorly cooked chewy lamb. So not only was it poor quality overall, it was poor quality. This time it we ordered to take away. Took 40 minutes (one would hope to cook the lamb properly... alas) and the staff were not very welcoming or friendly. We gave them a second chance... chances all spent.

Very tasty and all sorted very easily

Really if to be enjoyed with Asian food , especially Indian, it’s the best place. After trying from everywhere I got this best place. Try it and enjoy 😊

Very nice food and quick service thanks

Great tonight lads(ayston road)keep sending chicken like that,marinated like that ,i'll order more and more..top class

If I could give this place 0 star I would! I’ve eaten here plenty of times, but I haven’t been in for a good few years. So we decided to have a treat on Saturday night. I’m absolutely gobsmacked at the shocking service and food they now have. Firstly the owner (yes the owner) came to take our drinks order, as we order the first drink he walked away and never came back to us. he was to interested in the Uber and just eat orders being placed. 2 out of 3 curries were extremely bland, the chips are frozen oven chips, the nann breads were not homemade and again very bland, and so undercooked they were still ice cold in the middle (clearly brought in frozen crap) £5.50 for a bottle of water! The older waiter there was so very rude! He walked away twice whilst taking our orders, he didn’t seem to care about any of the customers. The toilets were an absolute building site, no warning signs to say be careful or that there is building work going on. No locks on the cubicles. When we mentioned that the curry was a little bland (trying to be polite) he became very defensive and dismissive. Once we had paid the bill he told us never to return, all because we pointed out that £5.50 for water and that the curry wasn’t up to scratch. I’ve never been so shocked at how we were treated. We weren’t the only ones either, there was another table that left before us and they complained about the food and service, and the owner and that waiter were vile to them as well. They would be better off just doing takeaway as that’s all they are good for. The food really wasn’t great but the service would have made up for it a little, but nope! Such a shame, I really hope they close down and someone better takes over!! DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Unless you like crap bland frozen food and being spoken to like s**t

Great food, great service and friendly staff

Had a nice meal last time, this time I spent nearly £14 on king prawns that were not real they were those cheap reformed things that I couldn’t even chew, the chicken was like old boot leather and the naans were not good, however the poppadoms were very nice

Lovely hot food. Can not fault

Absolutely stone cold in edible put it in the bin

The Biryani was OK, nothing good nothing bad. Poppadoms were bang on. But the butter chicken was awful, pale yellow, full of ground almonds like they used an old korma with extra cream and butter, not a touch on anywhere off melton Road, no flavour or depth of spice, shocking bad

The food was super with excellent flavour and texture. Good portion size. Delivery was in good time. We have never had a bad meal. Our favourite for Indian cuisine.

Ordered a takeaway In person, got the meal home. Part of the order was missing. Called them. They replaced the missing item, no apology, just a bad mannered acceptance. Got home, opened and found the wrong curry, the wrong nan and the wrong rice. Found the food quite bland. The service very poor and when i called back no apology. My advice......go somewhere else. There is a lot better service and a lot better food elsewhere. Roll on when the competition reopens

Food was absolutely stunning, arrived 15 minutes early which was great and arrived piping hot. Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be ordering from there again myself

Food arrived cold/Luke warm & the wrong naan was sent out. Really enjoyed it here the last time but unsure if I’d order again.

Great food, always great service and arrives on time.

Food was Luke warm at best, some items were hardly cooked at all, lacking in flavour. Took way too long to be delivered, this said it had been delivered when it hadn’t been and when contacting got a rude response and was still another like 15 minutes. It was the most disappointing experience

My food took over 2 hours to get to me when I rang the restaurant they apologised and it seemed as though they forgot to deliver my food and when the food did arrive it was cold, called the restaurant to complain and they offered me a replacement order and would not refund me

Food arrived at the later end of time scale, Luke warm and some of the meal missing, ring up and was told another half hour wait for rest of the order. Disappointing this time

Driver was great, very friendly! Food was hot and beautiful, very many thanks
