Indian Rooster in Leicester

Indian Rooster in Leicester is a popular spot known for its Indian street food and grilled specialties. I visited the one on Queens Road in Clarendon Park. The Queens Road branch offers a diverse menu featuring items like BBQ skewers, full chicken, burgers, naan rolls, curries, and Indo-Chinese dishes. Food is good - tried a mixed platter of chicken Kababs with a rice pulao, some lettuce salad and a raita. The chicken would have tasted better if it was a little more tender . The seekh kababs were really nice and flavoursome . The restaurant is pretty casual but loved the Hindi Bollywood music been played - it completed the vibe of an Indian Restaurant .

We used to be regulars at the indian rooster melton road before. We have since been ordering from Indian rooster queens road and it has been awful. The prices are crazy for what you get. Today we ordered 2 lamb biriyanis and 1 paneer tikka meal (in the meal you get chips and a drink). My husband called and ordered and confirmed the paneer meal. We got there to collect the meal and there was no drink with the paneer meal, I asked for my drink and the lady said no you don’t get one and she then started talking to one of her colleagues. I told her that we ordered the meal over the phone as this is what I normally get when I order. She bluntly said no so I just left it as I could not be bothered to argue and my food was getting cold. I got home and opened my paneer box and it was just 5 pieces of paneer, no peppers no onions no tomato’s!!! This is not acceptable. I paid over £8 for a small box of foil with 5 small pieces of paneer. The lamb biryani only had a few biriyani pieces. On top of this they only gave 1 red sauce and 1 mint sauce. This was not enough for 3 meals. Rude staff and quality of food is not how it used to be. Gone down hill! And such poor customer service.

We had a very disappointing experience with the food, which led to everyone in our group getting diarrhea. Additionally, the crispy pakoras were excessively oily. I strongly advise avoiding this

Very rubbish food we all got diarrhoea and the crispy bharghua were oily, please avoid this place

Food was excellent but too pricy. Hit and miss with what you order. Kebabs were dry.

Great naga kebab. Down side is cash only unless you do just eat and then the price is crazy!

We ordered through uber eats Chicken wasn’t cooked very well and noodles was very spicy , very bad experience

Love the sucklunt karmos chicken was not too happy about the curry but overall good experience

Food is very good. Very very fresh. So fresh that you have to wait forever and a day past the collection time. I guess at least you know its freshly cooked. Great food timings are poor. Consistently poor

Fresh ingredients food and good tate. Pizza tastes really good. Chicken tastes nice.

Whenever you hear a microwave ping be aware, the rice was definitely reheated, it ruined me for 2 days, I have reported it to food hygiene and hopefully this place will close

I used to be a regular visitor however overtime the service has seriously deteriorated. Rude staff and increase in prices despite food quality decrease. The food is edible, but staff are unwilling to help with any concerns. Would recommend the likes of TamaTanga for good indian food in Leicester.

Got a delivery. Mixed grill which was great and chilli chips were great as well. Ordered the paneer tikka which was nice but did not get much. Would definitely order mixed grill and chilli chips again.

The mix grill and karmos chicken was dry.Once the food was done,I had to wait 15 minutes for naan.While food sat under the light.The place was freezing,you could not have dined in.

Lovely food , our go to restraunt

One of best local kharmos chicken in town.

Really tasty, and good service.

Love food from here...soo soo tasty

Amazing food and quick service. Quickly becoming a favourite Indian restaurant with the family. It caters well for vegetarians and meat eaters. We loved all our food including both our children.

The chips very cold, grilled lamb flat bread gone into the bin, the last time I’m afraid, I think all together no more takeaways, really a struggle to find a genuine and good ish food.

Great food at a great price, service was quick and the lady working was incredibly kind and helpful.

Great food, the prawns were a bit salty , staff don't speak much English though

Booking guide said 35-45. Food arrived 90 mins later and was Luke warm

Delicious food. Definitely recommend. The chicken tikka burger is amazing!

Hands down best wraps in Leicester.

Cold chips and pizza, items wernt delivered in a normal driver bag to keep items warm.

always get good service from indian rooster,food is delicious.

Do not call to give them order it is very challenging, wouldn't go back again as wasted my time. Made an order over phone arrive at time stated, made only half order lol.

Very nice staff and very nice food! Masala chips were amazing and chicken tikka Nan wrap was lovely! Definitely recommend

Didn't even get as far as ordering. Walked in, initially ignored by the male and female at the counter but remained patient as they were discussing something about the till. Eventually, the chap acknowledged my presence so I asked if I order at the counter or whether there's table service. He told me to sit where I like, so I did. After a good 10 minutes of sitting there like a lemon and twice being ignored by the lady, I asked her if she could take my order, to which she asked if i'd already ordered. No, as I was one of three customers in there, i'd have thought it pretty obvious i'd not ordered. She then told me I needed to order at the counter. This was not a person who realises the importance of customers to a business, by any stretch... Sorry, Indian Rooster, if you can't even get the front of house right, why would I even bother to try your food? Needless to say, I upped sticks and went to Grounded Kitchen instead, where I enjoyed a warm welcome and great food.

Total disappointment at the Queens Road branch. .

Refused to give us tap water, even though they legally have to if they are selling alcohol. So not complying with their licence. Will report if it happens again

Great Value..Food is freshly made. Can get really busy so the wait can be up to 45 mins

The prawns are divine! Cooked to perfection

A good takeaway. Great selection of grilled meats and chicken. Curries from next door are great too. Superb flavour

Great food and value a little hot but tasty

Driver did not know where to go and he got lost while using a sat nav 🤦‍♂️the food was poor had to throw away would not use again. Avoid!

gave me absolutely raw rubber chicken, complained about it and so far has done no refund or anything about it.

This is by far the best food I have ever had!!! Well recommended!!!!

Called resturant b4 placing order on just eat confirmed can make chicken mild, put order through on just eat called they confirmed will be mild as young daughter is eating too & cant have spicy, order arrived 10mins late & the chicken was too too spicy went to waste, what a shame would have been ok if was mild

Fish was overcooked. Salad was dry. Chips and nuggets ok.

It was ok… Chilli chips are a definite no. Chicken was really good though. Delivery time was awful.

Quality of chicken is so bad not as good as it was

The food here is amazing but the service is absolutely appalling and they don't really care how long they keep you waiting! Typically it's wise to add on 30 min on top of your order time. The amount of time people are in there complaining, they don't care. Appalling

Food came cold, didn't really enjoy the pizzas we ordered, delivery was very late

Takeaway 25 minutes late and waiting Have ordered delivery always late why when you spend£40:00 not really good 😨😨

Karmos chicken was really nice - will definitely order again

Food is good BUT unfortunately did ask for no mayonnaise on the lamb burger as they don’t eat mayo at all and the burger had to be thrown away so waste of money, did request no Mayo on the app maybe you should look at orders clearly.

Loved the chicken but chilli chips weren't fried and just cooked in the microwave with the sauce!

Fantastic food. Full boneless tandoori chicken was delicious 😋 Will order again for sure!

Enjoyed the spinner thank you would order again

Food was extremely spicy and oily. The wings had no taste nd it was just covered with masala couldn't taste the wings properly and we had to throw the food away because of the uncooked wings with covering masala on top to make it look like it's cooked

Lovely flavours. Just way too spicy for us and don’t think there is an option for mild when you order which is a shame as we loved the flavours, just mouth was on fire!

Must visit Indian Rooster Melton Road...... Very very tasty food.. Excellent service.... Highly recommended to all.. Specially Kebabs , caroms chicken and everything is very very tasty food. Indian Rooster Shop is also clean and tidy.. Staff and owner is very friendly.. Love it...................................................................... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

VERY GOOD DECENT PRICES CHICKEN WINGS ONE OF THE BEST AROUND AND KARMOS CHICKEN VERY WELL COOKED AND FULL OF FLAVOUR BEEN GOING HERE REGULARLY SINCE THEY OPENED

Asked for no salad on the chicken burger and there was salad on it so couldn’t eat it but rest of food was nice

Good improvements was 2 star now 3 ..keep it up and the review will go higher

I placed an order for delivery but when it was very late I realised that it was for collection. I rang the restaurant and they were happy to deliver. Great service and so friendly. The food is amazing as well .

A warning of ordering from these clowns. A £10.50 fish meal will only serve you a small tin foil container with a small portion of fish. Overpriced. The fish burger looked unappetising and the sauce they used was mint for £6. Overpriced and mint sauce?! Yuck. They swap a can of coke for fruit shoot.. £4 kids nugget meal was overcooked and not tender.. rip off and unprofessional. The monkey who delivered my order accused me of not answering my phone when he didn't ring me at all.

Always order from them. Great food!

Great Food and Fast Service. We have ordered from them on at least a dozen occasions and they have never let us down.

This is now my go-to place for grilled chicken, kebabs etc... authentic food at a fair price. Would get 5 stars if the grumpy old boy serving would crack a smile once in a while. Oh yes and phone ahead with your order or be prepared to wait a very long time.

Loved it. Will be ordering again and again and again....

The food is very good, chips were a little cold but overall really tasty. Service really needs to improve, I called to ask what comes in the Paneer burger, the man responded with “PANEER INNIT!?” Which was a rude response for what I thought was a fair question (does it come with salad/sauce etc). We ordered two meals, they forgot one portion of chips and both cans of drink. We then waited 20mins for them to come and deliver again. When I called the restaurant to tell them I have items items missing from my order, they passed me onto three different people, all three of them on separate occasions asked me how can I help you after I had already told the first guy the situation, which was frustrating to say the least. It’s a real shame, because the food is really good, service just needs to improve. I will order again and do recommend the food, just have to put up with the bad service.

Food was alright, but service was unexpected..!!

Food was not nice flavour wish,avoid the green chutney

Food arrived was slightly cold but still edible. Tasted delicious. Chicken tandoori leg was nice and tender. Will definitely order again

Good quality chicken karmos, tastes amazing. Average price. Takeaway.

First time ordered. It was very nice, tasty, freshly made, delivered on time. Will be definitely ordering again.

Lovely food, freshly prepared. Decent size portions. Not bad value for money. Delivered on time. Will definitely be ordering again.

Food was outstanding can't fault any of it. I will say keep a glass of water and napkins nearby as food was spicy but I'm not complaining I like it like that. Only downfall was delivery being late but I don't mind as the driver did apologise and food was worth waiting for. Will definitely order again and recommend to others

Food tasted great but was delivered 25 minutes late because I had requested to have no coriander as a garnish. I had called the restaurant straight after placing the order to make sure they don’t put any coriander on the food. I was first told that the wings are already cooked and ready to go and they come with coriander so I should just take them off from the top!! After telling them that I have an allergy they then said they will prepare some new ones without the coriander placed on the top and this is apparently the reason for the delay in having the food sent. Surely every order should be freshly grilled and not just reheated!! I can’t believe it took the restaurant 1 hour 25 minutes to grill some wings!!

Food was spicy we enjoy that’s. The Mayo sachet was out of date

Good service and quality food and a decent price!

Food was fantastic will defo order again as food is quality and yes the food was ten mins late but i recieved a text informing me it was going to be a little late so i didnt mind that it was late as they kept me informed

Great food fantastic service again

Delicious food, great value for money and fast delivery! I highly recommend!

Extremely disappointed based on price point was expecting breast meat in the boneless chicken, but received cheap thai meat without making it clear they use thigh meat, a common marketing approach many if not all site use today. Definitely not worth the money they charge.

Good arrived hot and my Son said he enjoyed his burger and chips. The wings were amazing and chicken. Definitely would order again 👍🏾😀

Overall very good the carmos could have been Bit more spicier

First time ordering from here, wont be the last time time. Food was delicious the tandoori wings were great but the rooster half chicken was out of this world, only downside was the wedges that were a little undercooked but other than that fantastic, look forward to you being our new regular weekend treat 😃

Food was excellent. More chips needed in Large portion.

Amazing food, really tasty and plenty of it! Delivery was on time and didn't take too long at all.

Food is fantastic love the karmos chicken but Be prepared to wait As it's cooked fresh it can take a little time

Damn tasty wings...fresh and good value just make sure you ring ahead though...went weds lunchtime and shutters down. Will still come back though as the wings are that good.

Nice place to eat..friendly staff.food is very good

Food was lovely but had to wait so long for our order. They said 25 mins but ended up being 1 hour. Would strongly advise to do a telephone order to avoid waiting and hanging around for ages.

Freezing conditions whilst you are waiting for your food to be cooked. The food itself has a faint horrid taste to it, which now has put me off eating from there.

Order in advance and don't use their app because they don't look at it!

20 mins late but not a problem, good food will order again for sure

For now it only deserves this rating. People were waiting for almost an hour for their order. In my case it was the same and when I got my pizzas they realised that I have ordered a wrap so it was extra 20 mins of waiting. Older guy at the till was really confused and got my order wrong and later they refused to make a new product. Staff doesnt speak english which makes hard to communicate with them. They could also improve in hygiene inside the restaurant. Personally I recommend keema pizza and lamb spinner.

Tandoori wings are the best i've ever had!

Good food n tasty. Although little bit pricey specially the tilapia burger. Will go back

Best wings I’ve had for a while

A great chicken takeout, just bought a grilled chicken and prawns combi served with rice and salad - great meal!

Tandoori wings and karmos chicken is amazing. However portion of large chips is not large chips which is very disappointing. Also they need more choice in the special offers.

never disappoint .since its open i am regular customer . i have try pizza its nice as well

Indian style curry flavored pizza . Really good

Food is amazing. Same test. Live BBQ food choice on Melton road. Must try rooster chicken

Very nice pizza and would love to go next time For yummy pizzzza
