Himalaya Tandoori @ Crown Hills Hotel in Leicester

Fantastic food set in a really nicely decorated restaurant.

What an amazing place and food the staff are brilliant. Thanks you

We like coming here for a meal with friends. The food was lovely and we had a lovely afternoon. We paid for the meal without checking the receipt and when we reached home, I noticed that they charged us £16 for a dish which we did not ordered and that day, the place wasn't busy at all. I was very angry about it. It wasn't worth calling them to clarify because they wouldn't have admitted it. Please check your bill before you pay and that's what I will be doing next time at any restaurants. Not really happy about it. It really spoiled the rest of my day

Excellent curries and starters were great, service was quick as it was. The lamb chops were slightly chewy otherwise the special sizzler was great. Fish pakoras were excellent the curries methi chicken and garlic chicken were out of this world. Lamb tawa was very good the meat could have been a bit more tender for our liking. Naans were great. Service I gave 3 stars as we were over charged on drinks which was rectified when I pointed it out.

Everything about this place is good. The only thing that let's the place down is the toilet facilities they are very poor. No hand-wash in the dispenser and I'd say they haven't been cleaned in a while, but if they have I would sack the cleaner and get a new one.

I am for eat two peorson and I did Oder chiken biriyani and chiken tandoori but they useing boil chicken for chicken biriyani and tandoori chicken I am exproprince vary bad I did attach the chicken biriyani picture

Didn’t like the food , space was so conjusted . Went on birthday party there .

We have been eating at Himalya for years, but sadly tonight is our last night. The staff were fine, friendly, but for the first time ever the food was dreadful. The mixed grill was dry and hard and clearly was not fresh...it came out too quickly. The curry was tasteless, congealed, the meat hard. The rice was clumpy. So very disappointed.

Last time i went i received severe food poisoning Never again

The food was good I have to admit but the service was next to nothing. Poorly managed service, no clue, timing was all wrong and food missed. Not for a large party, but even the small parties suffered.

Orded takeaway & can't believe that all dishes have goen up a £1 more 😳 what about cost off living 🤬 obviously these restaurant don't care 🫣

Excellent food. Very fast but still arrived freshly cooked, hot and amazing quality. Staff are efficient and service with a smile. The only thing letting it down is the interior decor. It could be a more premium experience if the decor matched the cuisine.

Food was amazing, fresh, generous portion size and super tasty! Service was very good too!! Would recommend

Walked into the place, and really reminded me of an old pub with the dirty carpet. As for the food, the Starters were the best thing. Very tasty and cooked to perfection. But the mains were not nice at all.. Keema, lamb roganjosh were not nice, biranyi was not nice.. Was not really impressed. We were a large group so got to try alot of dishes. I say go all out on the starters and then leave. It will fill you up anyway.

Very helpful staff, food was bang on point, the salt and pepper fish is a must all round great experience and real beer not just larger cheers

Crown Hills is our local pub. Pub staff are extremely friendly and do their jobs very well. Atmosphere is decent and is a good place for a decent drink. Very busy in the restaurant though and restaurant staff are not always the most friendly.

Absolutely amazing service, lovely and friendly stqff, delicious food and great atmosphere. Food was delicious!!! Naan was extra special!!! I was visiting Leicester with family and we.choose this restaurant for dinner. Love the vintage and antique items in exposition.

Always good portions and tasty food.

Food taste amazing then I was sick so not impressed Won't be coming here again after tonight

Staff nice and friendly food is excellent delicious

I have been to most so called best Indian restaurants in Leicester and still none have compared to Himalayas on quality of food and secondly value for money - mid priced and very generous amounts of food . Hidden away but well known and has been around a very long time. Forget the rest and try it !

I don't review much but when I do I have a good reason too. Himalayas is an excellent family restaurant their service is A1 and food is fantastic. I wouldn't believe many of the low star reviews because its completely opposite to their opinions.

Nice people, atmosphere and excellent food..good portion size. Given 4 /5 stars in sections for all but overall rating is 3 star. Only downside is the food and alcholol is where there are pictures of hindu gods / temple ...appreciate been there for years however for me off-putting hence now go to an alternative place

Well looked after by ash. Took good care of my family and I

A Great Evening with Family, Raksha Bandhan Dinner for my Sister. Always receive a Warm Welcome whenever I visit ... Looking forward to the next visit..

Food had great flavour, service could of been better !

Food here is always amazing, very friendly staff. Huge projector screen showing sports. Pool table, TVs.. what more do you want? 😎🌸

Excellent food and generous portions. Really good restaurant/takeaway. Highly recommended.

Ambience is fine, service is terrible, and food is pathetic, most probably reused/left over from previous orders. Its appalling to see blatant reuse of food at this restaurant, waiter started with entirely different chicken dish containing lamb, with presumption that every one is ok with such practises. Suggestion to just use desired food from the dish was shocking. They don’t care about possible health issues to customers due to such food items, department responsible for ensuring strict compliance of safety measures at restaurants should do inspection visit here.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service.

Great tasting food.... would definitely recommend.

A great night as always Lovely food and friendly staff

I like service and drink there food can get bit improved but overall it’s not bad for what h are paying

Ordered a takeaway and again it wasn't complete, curry had hairs in it and customer service...well there isn't any

Ordered a takeaway last night we got the meal home and surprise, surprise order was not complete again....to make things worse we went to eat our curry and I found hairs human hair in it. That ended the meal. Be aware and check things before you leave. Customer Service...well there isn't any.at all.

The bar is a bit of a trek when you got to get a round in otherwise bar people are nice friendly and food was really really nice

By far THE best food and service i have received out in a very long time!! Please please visit and experience the best of the best!!

Really poor service if I could give any lesser star I could have given them. It was my daughter’s seventh month birthday that I want to celebrate with my family and these guys just ruined it we ordered two naan bread they took hours to serve that upon telling this to owner she showed attitude that we should give all the order at one time and we should not order in between.There were only two tables weren’t so busy . REALLY DISAPPOINTED AND DISHEARTENED VERY BAD SERVICE NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL

Food was ok. Service was very good. Ordered mix grill boneless, keema naan, chill chips, chicken manchurian and mango Lassi in the mix grill, the seekh kebabs were tasty the other meats were average. chicken manchurian was not so good. Chilli chips were standard. The mango Lassi however was spot on. Service by owner and waiters was very good. Owner said we should have tried out the grilled fish and curries. Would go back and maybe try out their specialities as recommended by the owner.

Pashwari Naan was not very good too much sugar. large chunks of chicken in biryani. Prawn pakura was bland

Love the food 😋 never been let down have had many meals here

Great Food loved both lamb and chicken biriyani.

One of my favorite places in Leicester that has survived the treacherous pandemic. Food was delicious with superb service and wait staff. Was very impressed 👍 that the owners employed and encouraged hiring local college students to wait on patrons.

Went for late lunch/early dinner. The manager was very accommodating and very sociable. The food was 10/10 and very authentic. Definitely rated amongst some of the best places to get Indian/Nepalese food from in the Midlands and next time I'm in Leicester I will visit again.

Food was incredible! Staff were useless. Constantly not listening to what we said, tried to bring our mains out 9 times in a row, before we wanted it. Just wouldn't listen. Thankfully the food was out of this world, and made up for these errors. Will definitely return.

This bar/restaurant is good in its own rite, there's a bar on on side where you can drink and order food. There is a restaurant on the other side with better seating for families, etc. Food is good with decent portion sizes. The kheema naan is on point! Would recommend.

We went for Sunday roast. They have a spicy roast option which was really good 👍. Really rich flavours on every dish we had.

One of the best tasting curry houses in Leicester! Absolutely bursting with flavour with friendly jolly service from staff!! Mix grill sizzlers are a must, especially the himalayan sizzler! Great great place to eat! Just be wary of parking as the car park is quite small so you do park on the road, ensure you don't block driveways! Other than parking this place is a must visit!!! Enjoy! ✨🙌💯

It was ok, but a good place for desi people to be there.

The service here it is awesome

There was no compromise on food by them and I would say customer service was good but still could have been better specially while ordering food. We have to call them twice or maybe thrice that we are ready to give an order. If you need something, you have to tell them at least twice about it. However, the food was good and staff was friendly so no complaints on it whatsoever.

Terrible experience. Ordered a sizzler only to find sage and onion stuffing in a tikka sauce and recycled roast potatoes from sunday lunch. Very unsatisfied, I raised the issue with the chap at the front of house who went and asked the chef who could be seen laughing at the back along with his team not taking the issue seriously. The chap came back and offered to take 50 percent off the bill for food which they had blatantly reused from their sunday roast earlier, putting the health of my family at risk. I almost lost it full-time. He eventually rulled out the dish from the bill altogether. A very hot nan was served to us on a soft plastic plate/mesh also. Sticky tables, poor ambience and table service to match the quality. Utterly poor. Never again.

The place is a bit Spartan and not in the nicest area but the food was some of the tastiest and most authentic I have had in Leicester. One of the favourites if my Indian relatives.

As always the food was excellent 👌. Enjoyable experience when dining here.

I have given 1 as you have to give 1 at least to write a review, otherwise it would be 0 The worst services I have ever received. Our table was booked for 8pm. When we arrived, our table was not available. We waited, for a member of staff to greet us , not one person acknowledged us standing there. After a few minutes , my partner stopped a staff member to ask about our table. She said she didn't deal with bookings, a man eventually asked us to wait in the bar. Which was freezing cold. 10 minutes later he called us in showed to a table but another family took our seats. We were left standing in the middle of the restaurant and waiter who told us to sit there said I have given them the table now. Leaving us waiting in the middle of the restaurant. We noticed another table leaving and waited for them clear the table, which no one was making any attempt to clear after standing for 5 mins and asking staff twice to clear the table , did we get to sit down. The waiter was rude abrupt, and instead concentrating us, while taking our order, he kept walking off to talk to other people. Ordering drinks was just as painful, when we finally ordered the food , we had to ask him three times to confirm our order and to ensure the Gulten free meal was written down as he walked off twice while taking the order. Food while it tasted okay, the large meat sizzler had only one mutton chop and rest was just chicken, while the seafood mix had one prawn, one peice of fish and the rest was chicken. We did speak to the manager when he appeared, he was just as useless, stated there was nothing wrong with food or the service. I would not recommend this restaurant, to anyone. A miserable experience, which spoilt our family meal out with relatives.

We had a drink than decided to stay and eat Atmosphere was very good And service was 1st class got looked after very well

Nice place. One of the better pub/curry houses to bring a family as decor is presentable. Sizzlers were smoking when the arrived and all food was fresh and hot

Travelling from Canada. We were there for an evening of food and drinks. May be Drinks and food more appropriate ! Entrance and the walls had likeable artifacts. Nice touch for the ambiance. Beer Glasses were filled full to the Brim and so was the excellent mixed platter of Tandoori food. Plentiful indeed. Unlike Beers, street parking is never plentiful in Leicester but Himalaya had a guests parking of its own. To me that is an extra star. Thanks for an enjoyable evening Deeva. Hope that is a correct spelling.

I am a Coeliac and gluten free and also 2 family members had dietary needs. Our dietary needs were met and we all enjoyed our meal. Food was very good but my only reservation was it was rather noisy. After all was a Saturday.

We have been at the Himalaya Tandoori for a family dinner. Food was really delicious and sumptuous. Prices are fair. Staff is nice. Location itself is simple and non pretentious.

It has been a while since i last visited the Himalayas in my home city of Leicester... but there is no disappointment from us on quality of food or service. Indeed, we rolled up late - no problem - with a few extra diner - no problem! The food was first class full of flavour and reasonably priced. Service excellent. 13 of us visited including one child. All enjoyed an excellent meal. I will definitely back! Thanks again Dipalc and Deeva...

Incredible food, very good portions. Extremely friendly staff. More spacious than it appears from the outside, very reasonable prices given the recent surge of restaurants of this cuisine type. Dishes to fit every pallet, in an informal relaxed authentic atmosphere.

I had takeaway for four people. The food was some of the best Indian food I have ever had. The portions were very large so don't need to order so many dishes. However the inside was scruffy and also noisy with echoes. Suggest takeaway is the better option.

Been going here for around 2 years now and not had a problem since

Bought a large mixed sizzler was not cooked properly I think they gave me last night food

Food was tasty. Reasonably priced.

Ram looked after us and catered to our requirements.

The food was delicious but the service was very slow

I have been with to the restaurant a few times and today the standard of the food ordered was not as requested, was given chance to rectify the mistake to get it worse! Great start to the starters!! Main course was edible, worst experience this evening, service and food quality is inconsistent, avoid this place!

Service is diabolical we left after the starters and the waiter wasn't happy about it

We had wonderful vegetarian dinner at the busy Himalaya Tandoori Restaurant thanks to brilliant service by Mr. Deva Rawat and his team. The starters and the main dishes were delicious and freshly prepared by the experienced and Head Chef Mr. Ram Niure and his assistants. We were all impressed with the quality and quantity of the starters and the main dishes. We enjoyed the evening to our satisfaction. The restaurant offers extensive menu of both vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. We were lucky to get good secured parking . Subhash Modi Former International Cricket Umpire

Great place to go out to eat with family or friends. Family run and it shows, the restaurant itself has a warm, cosy atmosphere. The staff were fantastic and the food is very authentic! Nothing is toned down in terms of flavour to suit milder pallets. It's like eating out in a good restaurant in India. The choice of dishes is good too, not too many options and not too few. I will definitely be coming back again with family and next time will bring my friends here too. Can't wait to try other dishes but I highly recommend the mixed grill! 5*

Very nice! Great food. Great staff. Thoroughly enjoyable experience

Brilliant food, great atmosphere. Friendly staff

Busy place with good food, acan get a bit noisy for some as it is open plan. It is reasonable price

Absolutely fantastic food, do not miss this place!!!

Food is always fresh and the staff are very welcoming

Just ordered takeaway. Been to collect and forgot one of the two items ordered. Extra 15mins wait. Argued that my order had been put on the side table will go cold. Man told me it wasnt my order. Then when collected my order got the bag that had been sitting of side order. Argued that he had lied he said no totally different order. Offered no poppadoms or extras as an apology. Got home to cold food had to put in oven. DISGUSTING SERVICE. SHAME ON YOU.

service was very slow.and food overcooked,and dry.

Gone downhill massively. Service is terrible. The staff couldn't run a bath never mind a run a restaurant. Mixed Grills are way below standard.

Shocking...not fit for purpose. My brother kindly booked a table for 15 of us at 8.30pm. Upon arrival it was obvious to see that the restaurant clearly had no room for us and kept us waiting. After having to ask several times about waiting (we had children in our group) we were told they were sorting it and they couldn't do anything as an earlier large booking hadn't left. Just before 9 we began to adjust one table- the manager said we could use the take away table and this resulted in our group being sat at 3 different tables. Not ideal but just happy to be finally seated. I personally took all the drinks orders for our party and handed them in. A waiter returned to inform me that there were no glasses but he would bring 2 jugs of drink out instead. I replied this this was not what I wanted. He later returned with drinks in the glasses. I then (using a notepad and pen) took the orders for our tables and handed those in. Staff were reluctant to help and it was clear that they could not cope with demands of running the place. I also had to assist in serving the food for our group and ensure that all guests had everything they needed. Food- some dishes arrived earlier which caused them to go cold. Ambarsari fish had a hair in it. When I showed this to the manager the reply was "Are you saying I put that there?" I was not suggesting that but was obviously not impressed. The service was non existent. We wrote down all our orders and served our own food and even then some items were missing. POINT 1- Why take the booking when you can not deal with the demand? Try saying we are fully booked. POINT 2 - It is not the customers fault if your previous customers have not left the table. Most restaurants operate a policy where they require the table back after a certain period. This information had nothing to do with me. POINT 3- The manager also rang back to confirm the booking and the time- yet no table arrangements had been made for us. I do not understand how this place can operate like this. Note- other people were also getting annoyed during my visit and some people were walking out. Customer service is a joke and what should have been an enjoyable family meal, turned out to be a very stressful night. Don't bother - I wish I hadn't.

Excellent service and the food is top quality 👌 recommended for family outings. Very nice choice of drinks at the bar.

WOW. Really good evening. Everything was perfect, the place, the food, and we were really well looked after by DEVOU the waiter. The food was very tasty and very good quality. The portion is very generous too... We cannot wait to go back!!

I don’t normally like eating out but my Indian friends highly recommended this place as a good family basic restaurant, so I went there with my family but unfortunately my experience was terrible, service is too slow, no manners from the stuff at all! I understand this restaurant is very basic but I was expecting the fresh cooked food from tandoori. Everything on my table wasn’t fresh and looking like a cheap take away, rice was cold and dry, mixed grill was cold and looking like it’s been cooked 5-6 hours before and just microwaved before serving! I had impression that they were not wanted us to return there again which we are not going to do!

I am a massive fan of Sunday Roasts - if you've never tried the Sunday Roast at Himalaya's - you're missing out. I had spicy lamb - which was lean, tender and cooked to perfection. Portions were generous and staff atttentative and polite. Best part of all - only cost £11 pp. I've been to many pubs in Leicester for a Sunday Roast - this beats them all hands down - don't believe me, try it

Possibly the best takeaway I've had in years!

Veg options were much nicer than the meat. A must for vegetarians.

Very delicious food and best indo Chinese food in Leicester.

Sad to leave negative comments but the place can’t cope when they are busy. Ordered a take away. The bloke on the phone wouldn’t even listen to my order and kept saying ok bye while i was still Truing to give him The rest of my order. Got there at the allocated time only to be standing around for about 10 minutes while they got the order ready. Got the order home and it was frankly not the usual standard. And worst of all.... two items missing. It remains to be seen if they are ok for dine in and I will be returning to dine in especially as the main man divam is back again, as it is usually nice to eat it fresh off the grill but for takeaway I’d look elsewhere.

Absolutely amazing food and brilliant service, always with a smile 😊

Fish sizzler is good, I usually have to ask for curries to mild or kids can't eat. Also curries can be really oily unless you specifically ask for minimum oil, although you are not guaranteed to get less oil. Nice staff

Enjoyed the meal, very good service and felt safe. Was a lovely evening with friends.

Best Food & Service Always A1!!!

Absolutely amazing food. Faultless. Friendly helpful staff. Great service. Cannot say one bad word

The service was extremely poor. It's difficult to get waiters attention and we were left waiting half an hour before ordering starters. The drinks came after the starters and even then, they forgot what we ordered. I kept having to repeatedly tell them what we ordered. When it came to ordering the mains, I had the same problem getting the servers attention. I then had to flag down the manager to speak to them. The conversation left me feeling like they hadn't understood me. I won't be back anytime soon and won't be recommending them to friends and family.

This is my second visit....absolutely beautiful food!!!!...generous portions,good presentation, good table service. Highly recommended!!

Great food. I find in Indian restaurents they either get either the starter or the main wrong. We had a the starter tandoori mix platter followed by a biryani and Palak ghosht both superb and the prices are very reasonable. Would recommend

I will start off by saying the food is nice, no complaints about that, which is what you want to hear about a restaurant. However, the service we received was quite poor. The food is the only reason that I am not giving a really negative review. We were constantly being pestered to order drinks and order our food despite telling them multiple times that we will call them when we are ready, but they did not care. Asked for a jug of water for the table of 4, which we only received towards the end of our meal and only received 2 glasses instead of 4. Just basic stuff they are failing at.

We decided to pick up our takeaway on Friday Evening - We ordered a Large Tandorri Sozzler with nan breads & Chilli Ships. The Sizzler was amazing and it was a large portion -pleanty for 4 ppl - Very nice indeed - i will be going back again.
