Grounded Kitchen in Leicester

Food really good, staff attentive. Very noisy inside

Relaxing atmosphere with outstanding food and customer service by Freya.

I ordered the biryani via Deliveroo yesterday and was impressed by the flavor. However, I felt that the curry overpowered the rice, making it seem less like a traditional biryani. With a bit more rice or a lighter curry mix, it could be even better. That said, it was still tasty, and compared to other biryanis I’ve had in Leicester, Kadir’s definitely stands out. I’d rate it a solid 3.5/5.

I got the lamb chettinad, which tasted pretty decent/good and was on the salty side. I was a bit disappointed with the portion size as it came out, given it costs £8.50~ if my memory does not fail me. This price is in line with other places, to be fair. However, the worst thing to me and what has primarily upset me is that a single roti is £3.25. I wasn't gonna have curry without a roti or something.. but yes despite my tiredness at the time arguably I am the fool who paid £3.25 for a single roti, despite knowing I was going to get a single roti. Again though, this might somewhat be in line with other places, though I haven't explored enough. That being said, the curry (eaten with the roti) was fairly filling despite its size though I wasn't too happy with the cost. As for the atmosphere, it was okay though oddly meals eaten by past patrons were left out and not cleaned on other tables. Perhaps this was to show the restaurant wasn't inactive, as only one person was present there when I went, and no-one was eating when I was. The server was chill, I did express my frustration about the portion size and we talked about it a bit. The main reason for my 2 stars is simply the value to result ratio and I am a bit bitter as a result (though yes I paid for this somewhat knowingly). I ended up paying around £11 for the meal you see in the pictures, a third of which came from a single roti. As such I wouldn't come here again, though I would consider it if I brought my own kind of bread.. That being said the meal itself was decent/good.

The portion size was generous with plenty of meat. The keema rice was incredibly tasty. When the food arrived it was hot and fresh.
