Leeja Tandoori in Hinckley and Bosworth

We visited this restaurant, having experienced a disappointment at another restaurant and my goodness, what a very pleasant surprise. The staff, all of whom appeared related, were welcoming, professional and friendly. Finding a table was no trouble and we were quickly and comfortably seated. The meal was delicious, the background music just that, in the background and the staff were all anxious to be of assistance. It is a joy to find staff, all knowledgeable, who enjoy their work and are keen for you, the customer, to enjoy their time. There was no pressure to hurry and we finished the meal with liqueur coffees, that completed a perfect visit. Thank you.

We decided to try something to eat from here to take away. The menu choice is very large. We had poppadoms with some dips, I had the chicken tikka masala which was really good and there was a good amount of chicken (more than other places we have been to which you are lucky if you get 5 pieces of meat). The naan breads we had were cheese and the other keema both were good. Overall the food was really good, the location is good in town. The place was quiet so didn't have to wait long for our food. Would recommend this place.

Awesome food and service overseen by the amazing Mr H. What a gentleman he is, always running around showing the younger waiting staff the ropes.

I’ve eaten in the Leeja since 1987 but this evenings experience was simply awful. Not enough staff, took far too long to order our 5 meals and 3 out of the 5 were incorrect. Two chicken Karahi’s were served as Korma’s and when replaced the meat had been swapped into another meal that had no resemblance to a Karahi. The other meal was bland with no spice and we were informed that the kitchen had forgotten to add any. It’s a great shame.

Ordered food from here as we have for many years, we ordered a tandoori mixed grill which has always come with a vegetable curry and naan bread, it did not arrive with either, upon a phone call to the restaurant I was told these have never come with the dish in the 2 years the employee has worked there, this is a blatant lie as we have had the dish regularly, they are not willing to admit when they have made a mistake with an order and will lie through their teeth, we will not order again and hope others take heed

Once again, an absolutely beautiful meal this evening at the Leeja restaurant. We had our elderly parents with us, we hadn't taken them here before but they absolutely loved their visit. The staff are always so welcoming and we're just lovely and patient with the in-laws, and happy to have a joke with them. The menu is extensive and the food this evening was just amazing as always. I had the Seabass and devoured it. The pace is always perfect, you're not rushed and the restaurant has a calming feel about it. I've seen some reviews about the restaurant being expensive. It's not a cheap Indian restaurant, no, but if you just want a basic curry and rice after having a night on the beers then maybe this isn't the right place for you anyway. If you want something a little more refined with genuinely lovely staff and deliciously tasty food then Leeja's your place. Would be a great place to take customers and work colleagues if you wanted to impress with a restaurant with great service and great food Thank you to all the staff, we had a great evening,v and my father-in-law said his Lamb Rogan Josh was the best he'd ever had.

£33 for 2 of us… 2 popadoms, chicken nuggets & chips, Paneer Curry, Pilau Rice and chips?! Sooo expensive, paneer was squishy and tasteless like tofu, I left half of the curry until the next day, ended up taking a picture as I was shocked at how much oil is in this, can see from the pictures, used to be good quality years ago. I will use other cheaper curry houses from now.

Too expensive! One pint of Soda & Lime £5.90. We chose from the ‘special £15.95 menu’ & our main course had 6 small pieces of chicken & lots of sauce. We were told the ‘Specials menu’ is NOW a small portion, having eaten their every week for 3 months (received a normal mains portion) we WILL NOT go again, poor!

First time having a delivery from Leeja. Absolutely gorgeous piping hot food. We shall be reordering again. Well done Leeja!

Went for a meal on an unexpectedly quiet evening. Only two other couples in the restaurant. Without their takeaway service they would be closed!! Service was excellent. They hadn't got what i wanted so was offered an alternative. Excelled in the replacement amount. Lovely service touches to finish - warmed hand towel, complementary coffee and chocolate. Would return.

Been here tonight excellent meal food cooked just right not been for a while staff very helpful great atmosphere shouldn't say this but the best Indian in hinckley. Will be back soon.

Missed a meal out of our delivery order for the second time in a row. Had to wait half hour for the missing dish to arrive by then the rice and nan were cold. Certainly wasnt worth the wait as the dish was bland when it arrived. Plenty of good indian takeaways but this isnt one of them

I went to Leeja 3 nights ago as that’s my most favourite place for a curry, good waiter’s, top boss, can’t fault the food and staff, good atmosphere. Keep up good work Leeja

Ordered a Meat Box.. 7 inch pizza box with a nan stuffed in. About 6 pieces of meat . I thought the box was empty it was that light. What a joke £12.50 for that... What a rip off. Could of got a massive kebab for £6 local.. avoid these guys

Food colddelivery was hindley to hindley. sauces watered down too much. Masala bunt my lips waste money

We were patrons for some time, always had good food, we moved away from Hinckley, but visited and decided to enjoy a meal at the Leeja. It was quiet when we went in, the waiter who has been there for some time was rather uninterested and took us to a table. We were asked for our drinks order, we asked for some water along with our drinks. The drinks arrived, but, we had to ask three times for water. We ordered our food and the waiter took away our side plates, obviously he had not heard that we wanted poppadum’s etc., plates returned. The poppadum’s were ok, but they have changed the serving dishes for the chutney and pickle, you get very little and it's disappointingly expensive for what it was, the yoghurt sauce was rather thin. Ok.. the starters, I ordered a King Prawn Puri, what I got was not what I was expecting r had previously had, the puri resembled an Aunty Bessy Yorkshire pudding, it was dense, bulked up and devoid of any seasoning or taste. The Prawns and sauce were also at best bland but very expensive. The other starter was a tikka paneer, which was fine.. The main arrived, my chicken tikka Balti was ok, the naan was appallingly bad, it was again tasteless and very dry, a little like eating dry cardboard. The rice came in a small pot, the pit was too hot to touch, making the rice very dry. The side order of Onion Baji was poor, 4 small potions, again lacked any seasoning and at £4, it was not good value. The service was poor and we had to try and get the attention of the staff to pay the bill, they seemed distracted and totally uninterested. The payment method was insulting, the request for “tips” started at 10% and went up, who on earth would add 25% to the bill?. Overall, not a great experience both staff and food were poor, it’s with a heavy heart that I post this, but we shall not be returning, the quality of the food is low and their prices has shot up.

Meet box nothing but chips and a total of 7 pieces of meet . Won’t be ordering again

My husband also owns an Indian as did my father for 25+ years. This food was inedible. It smelt funny and spices were non existent. Would never order again. Even the chips were soggy.

Best Indian in Hindley, Madras is perfect.

Always amazing. Best Indian in Wigan! I highly recommend the chicken tikka madras and saag aloo :)

Lovely, but found a fingernail under the lid of the curry.

First time ordering and definitely my last. Food arrived 5 minutes before the 1 hour estimated time but was cold. The drinks were warm. Rice was watery. Chips were dry. Poppadoms were stale. Packora were soggy. Not impressed. Feel like I've wasted my money.

Disgusting food not even turned up yet phone lines been turned of when tried to ring through just eat never order from here again

Ordered Chicken Tikka Main and it was inedible, bit into two pieces and it was like cold rubber. Rice also cold. Chips were warm. Just Eat refunded. Really disappointing

excellent food.. Delivery lady was very polite.

Not only is our good two hours late but it is freezing and blind

Really nice food delivered on time recommended to everyone worth money

Top food, arrived piping hot and went down a treat

Lovely food could have just been a bit warmer

Great food, wonderful service at the door. Highly recommended

Delicious authentic hot food delivered on time by a very pleasant delivery person.

First order, delicious, will order again

We usually love this place - their curries are outstanding. But recently we’ve noticed the rice is swimming in water. I don’t know if it’s not being drained properly but it just ruins your curry when your food is swimming :/.

First time ordering from here and very impressed with the food. Ordered a set menu for two and have no complaints about any of the dishes

Excellent food with good delivery

Always lovley food massive portions good value for money

Tasteless??!!, Really disappointed. First time I’ve ever given negative feed back. Saturday night ruined

Outstanding masala kebab as usual 👍

This place never lets me down! Always amazing and great service! Best Indian by far 👍🏻👍🏻

Always get our Indian from here and never disappoints! Won’t go anywhere else! Gorgeous food and always piping hot!

Allways enjoy it here! Great value and really tasy plus there's alot of meat in the curry which in other places sometimes you get like 3 piece of meat! Defo recommend

Hot fresh tasty food, delivery driver very friendly.

Doner kebab tasted awful overall thick slices of kebab Mayo was watered down Chips were slimy Chicken tikka kebab hah don’t make me laugh seen more chicken in a mcchicken nugget

Chicken kebab , seen more chicken on a budgie

Great food, didn’t receive the chutney or the 2nd poppadom that we ordered.

Brilliant every time. Wouldn’t use anywhere else

Lovely tasting food, fresh, hot and flavoursome Would defo order from again Amazing food

Lovely food presentation was amazing, really friendly and helpful staff, will be visiting again and would highly recommend

Food quality not the usual standard very poor. One miniature bag of salad between 3 starters and the donner meat smelt like bizz. It was like going in the bathroom after your dads just been.

Excellent food, authentic Indian taste, great value, brilliant service:D

Been here a few times but the last couple of times the food has been poor. Was hoping it would get better after being disappointed last time, however, I was disappointed again and won't order again. Food arrived cold and the meat in the curry was chewy.

Ordered the combo box and a chicken pathia last night . The box could easily feed 3 people . The pathia was outstanding as always . The chicken was nice and soft and the curry sauce had a kick whilst the combo box has a bit of everything 👌

Fantastic food ..hot tasty ... loved the Bombay potato first class.. thank you so much for my food 5 *****

Poor phone service and not correct order delivered. Good curry shame about the staff who take the order ! Rude rude

Meal was really nice, food was fresh and tasty and the staff were really friendly Was very busy (due to eat out to help out) but would definitely come back again to eat in or to takeaway

Went on eat out promotion which was not a pleasant experience, there was no social distancing whatsoever every table was full and the entrance was crowded. The food itself was very expensive on the menu and much more than we have ever paid in an Indian restaurant. The food itself was ok, my meal was fine but my husbands was awful. We will definitely not be going here again.

From Manchester hated every take away from Wigan for last 5 years tonight was by far best takeaway I had from Wigan 5 starssss

Not once been disappointed here, we love the food and staff. Been coming here since I was a child and it’s always had the same owners which I love. Highly recommend you won’t regret it!

Food was not up to normal standard Didn’t get all of the food I ordered either

We regularly order a delivery on a Saturday evening as Leeja is by far the best curry in the area. The mains and starters are delicious and I thoroughly recommend them. The only tjink that stops me rating as 5 star is that the pappadoms are hit and miss as there sre times when you feel they hsvd been around for a but or the oil hasn't been at its best, which us strange as they are always lovely when you dine in. My only other gripe us they never send an itemised bill with your order so you have to trust they've charged you correctly. Give it a try though and see what you think.

Order was placed on Saturday 2nd May 2020. My partner and family have been loyal customers to Leeja for several years and I have never once had a bad experience with you. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the takeaway that I collected on the date in question.I placed an order worth £38.00 and I travelled over from Burbage to collect it. Unfortunately, it was only after I returned to my home in Burbage that I realised a main dish, one side of rice and one naan bread was missing from the order. This gave me no option but to drive back to the Leeja to be told that one member of your staff had forgotten to give me a second bag containing the rest of my order. I can appreciate that these are unprecedented times and you must be both short staffed and incredibly busy, but this simply isn't acceptable.To then not even have the offer of cooking the now lukewarm meal again or some form of heartwarming apology, I find absolutely awful. The person who I dealt with simply said ‘next time you call, let us know and we will sort you out’. No name, number or details taken . . . Sadly, I am sceptical to ever place another order with Leeja due to the poor customer service that I have received, let alone that you will remember me to compensate my next order.Finally, when we eventually returned home with our full order we had to reheat our main courses, rice and naan in the oven whilst we ate our lukewarm starters. After reheating the main courses, I was left with nothing but disappointment. I order the same dish each time I eat from the Leeja, a chicken pathia. The dish that I ate last night was not the delicious and high quality chicken pathia that I expected from yourselves. I could taste nothing but tomatoes, it wasn't spicy in the slightest and it really was not pleasant. My partner was even more dissatisfied with his salmon masala, leading him to feel ill and unable to finish his inedible meal. I have attached an image of this incredibly oily dish.To say that I am disappointed with the customer service and quality of the food is an understatement. I have also sent an email to this effect but have waited over a week and no response. It would be nice to receive a response, so that I can discuss this experience further.It feels like standards have really slipped, this was reflected in both the service and the food.

Officially our new favourite curry house in Hinckley. The food was reasonably priced & beautifully cooked. Also pleasantly surprised by the portion size. Would highly recommend for takeaway. Looking forward to eating in once lockdown is lifted.

This is our first takeaway from here. It was probably one of the best Indians we have ever had. The lamb pathia was tender and beautifully spiced the rice was lovely and breads excellent. We will definitely be using again. Highly recommended.

A massive thumbs up to the Leeja. I finished a 12 hour shift for the NHS during the Covid crisis and felt that I deserved a treat. Ordered a takeaway from the Leeja and was greeted by a massive thank you from the owner for the work being done and he refused to take payment from me. On reflection businesses are scraping a living during lock down and must make money where they can so there is an economy when this is all over. Sacrificing payment from even one customer is huge gesture during these times. The Leeja is certainly doing its bit and deserves our support when lockdown is over. And the food was exceptionally good.

Just had a delivery service and it was the best India meal we have eaten for a long time thanks leeja in these difficult time

Atmosphere & service were fine, but some of the food was really poor. The onion bhajis was squashed into a hard lozenge and inedible, the lamb chops were dry and massively overcooked & the paratha was like a thick, rubbery chappatti. Nice house red though.

Had a great night with a party of 10 from workGreat service from start to finish, don’t be put off by the frontage, it’s a really nice restaurant inside, plenty of room, big tables, white tablecloths The menu is extensive but we chose from the £12.95 3 course menu, which offers a starter, main, rice and nan.Amazing value, plenty of choice, good portions and quality ingredients .I had the chicken tikka starter- excellent served with cooked peppers and onions , followed by a chicken curry, pilau rice and Peshawar nanMy only gripe was that there was no non-alcoholic Cobra beer on offer, or any non alcoholic beer available other than that a great place to be recommended

Ate here on saturday 11th jan 2020. Extensive menu to choice. We didn't have a starter and when the mains came, we were glad we hadn't as all of the portions were very generous in size and extremely tasty.. waiters were attentive and extremely pleasant without it being too much. Nothing is too expensive, but to be honest, if it was I would still go back..Will definitely be visiting again and would 100% recommend Leeja Tandoori again.. I'm not quite surewhat "Jody H' thought shewas reviewing but I find it extremely unlikely it was this restaurant, and of course there is always the one that put a poor review just for the thrill of doing it..Please don't be put off with her review, as it's no reflection at all on The Leeja Tandoori!

Service, quality,choice and value, this restaurant was top class in all ways , will definitely be back when next in Hinckley,

We go here on a regular basis and we are never disappointed. Service is always friendly and happy to help on what the dishes are. Food is excellent and would always recommend the Leeja to friends.

Went here with friends as we often do but was very disappointed with the overall service we recieved. Were greeted with a mardy and abrupt waiter. Starters were lovely but on bringing main course they had got one of our dishes wrong. Mains were tasteless. After receiving the mains we were forgotten about and not approached again until we stopped the waiter to ask for coffee and dessert. We were then told no we cant have coffee so asked for dessert then stormed off. We were not given a choice of dessert and was just brought a spoon of ice cream that was slammed down on the table. The waiter then snatched the money from us when we went up to counter to pay because we did not have bill brought over to us. Overall poor service. Very dissatisfied. Will not to be visiting again!!!

My wife and I took kids for lovely meal in early evening. Place was starting to fill as we were leaving. Nice decor. Kingfisher lager on tap. Staff were prompt and helpful. Great service. Highly recommend.

Visited on a Wednesday evening and had the 12.95 menu. Was so impressed, beautiful surroundings, amazing tasting menu and excellent service. Will definitely be returning and would recommend without hesitation!

Another fabulous meal. The food is very tasty and there is a great variety. Half and half dishes are great. The staff are very friendly and efficient, and they make you feel appreciated rather than an imposition. I recommend Leeja to anyone. The bill at the end of the night was very reasonable for six adults.

We always enjoy a meal out at the Leeja but i must say the food and the service was the best we have experienced last night. The Staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy customers, we will definitely be back soon, Thank you! Also very reasonably priced with great deals.

Been here several times and always had a great evening. Food is really tasty and well presented. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Great value for money.

The leeja has a new chef..... The food used to be beautiful. Sadly not anymore, lamb balti was awful, meat was over cooked and chewy. My partners curry was over seasoned with salt and was awful.

It was my grandsons 18th birthday and he wanted to have an Indian, so my daughter chose Leeja's. There were 10 in the party, so booked a table for 8pm. When we arrived the table wasn't ready and we were asked to take a seat. Eventually the table was ready and we all took our seats and ordered drinks which were a bit slow in coming, should have realised this was to be the pattern of the evening. After taking our orders, it was a long wait for the starters, then the same for our mains, in fact at 10.05 we had to ask them when our food was coming as we had taxi's booked for 11.00pm! We got our mains soon after, but because of the slow service it spoilt the evening and the cake my daughter had made never got to the table. She complained to the manager and was told that there was another party being held there which was for 20 people and they were short staffed. They knew that before we arrived and was their problem and will make me think twice before going there again which is a shame as the food was lovely.

Best around. Food is delicious and the service is excellent. We have eaten at many good places but the Leeja beats them all.

The atmosphere as soon as you walk in is inviting. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. We were quickly seated and welcomed. The service was just right. I was spoilt with the large menu choice and was definitely not disappointed with the food. It looked delicious and tasted just as nice as it looked. Couldn’t fault anything. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Lovely.

Haven’t visited the Leeja in a while and pleased to see it hasn’t lost its charm. Food was very flavoursome and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Lots of staff so no issues with service, if anything it was nice to be asked several times if our meal was good.

Beautiful inside,fast service,food best ive had,very tasty. Large selection of dishes, will be back.

Lovely meal out last weekend as always. Food is lovely and fresh and lots of choice on menu. Staff always brilliant and quick to serve. Bets Indian in Hinckley.

It’s been a while since we visited the Leeja and was worth the wait. The staff were very friendly, the food very well presented and also very tasty. They are also able to create a dish to suite your preferences (eg strength etc) Highly recommended

Visited this excellent restaurant for the first time this evening and I had a wonderful meal topped off with very friendly and efficient staff in very nice surroundings. There is a wide choice of food on the menu, I can't wait to try it all.

Went here tonight for a lovely meal with my wifes parents. The service was brilliant, the staff did everything they could to make you feel welcome and the turnaround time between courses was spot on. The presentation on the food was stunning, like something out of master chef. Most importantly is the flavour, very tasty food at this place and the Dail Samba i ordered was very flavourful. Come dine here and you'll have a very tasty meal served by very friendly accommodating staff

I go here with some friends reasonably regularly. The staff are always very welcoming and are great hosts, the food is always really tasty and the atmosphere is great, although we only go on weekday evenings. There is a meal deal offer that gives you a lot of options for about £11. That’s a starter, main rice and naan.

Staff always friendly, never had a bad meal yet, great cuisine and choice of food, one of our favourite Indians to eat at 👍

Our return to the Leeja was ruined by an over zealous manager who insisted the £10 voucher received on the visit before was only accepted on a certain meal. Pity the voucher 10 pound off was in type face 24 and the conditions was in type face 2. Well we will not revisit this mediocre curry house again. The beer pumps need cleaning as the beer is rank... read the small print

The title says it all really. It was my first visit to this restaurant. I was impressed with the service, the staff were very helpful, polite and helpful. The food was lovely and good portions. I'll definitely go again.

We come here regularly for a girls night, food is always excellent and the £10.95 banquet menu is brilliant, so much choice. Have been to other Indians but this one is the best in Hinckley! Recommended to everyone.

As we live slightly out of the area we don’t get in as much as we would like, but great thing is they deliver to us 1-2 times a week, started using these over the last few months and we have never had a bad meal, great selection of dishes as well!!

Visited restaurant this evening and received amazing service from the staff who served delicious food to our table. Thank you.

I really like this restaurant as it literally right on my doorstep.
