Mithaas vegetarian restaurant in Leicester

A great place for Indian vegetarian food so many options to choose from.

Mithaas, located on Narborough Road in Leicester, is a well-known vegetarian restaurant and sweet shop specializing in Indian cuisine. It offers a variety of traditional Indian snacks, meals, and desserts. The menu typically includes popular items such as chaat, samosas, dosa, and a variety of curries and thalis, catering especially to the vegetarian and vegan communities. Mithaas is also famous for its extensive selection of Indian sweets like gulab jamun, jalebi, rasgulla, and barfi. The restaurant is known for its casual dining experience and is a popular spot for those looking to enjoy authentic Indian street food and desserts in Leicester. Loved the Jalebis and Dal Kachori

Dear Mithaas, I have been ordering food from you at least 3 times a week and this is the second tike I found a hair inside the bread ( prantha) which is totally not acceptable . I love the tast but please don't compromise over quality and hygiene which I beleive your chef or whosoever is handling the kitchen needs to follow hygiene protocol. Being your loyal customer I would really want to see the required changes made by you.

Homely vegetarian food. Never disappointed

I was spending £200.00 on average a month here on food for work. The staff have always treated me well. So no fault there. Upon making an order via telephone as per normal I told the gentleman I will be there in 10 mins. Upon arriving at store the owner not the staff proceeded in debating with me infront of other customers and pointed out he had said half an hour. So I told him to leave the order requested and asked the staff to provide me with a tali to takeaway. The owner carried on suggesting I was lying. At this point I instructed the staff to leave the tali and walked out. His response was leave it then. Absolutely disgusting service from a man who had staff members witnessing the whole incident. Not once did the owner apologise and suggest a solution. The day before I had been given a bag of food as per usual but without a carrier bag. On reaching my destination the food had leaked and come straight through the paper bag all over the floor once arriving at my work premises. The situation was explained to the staff and was advised to speak to the owners son who had served me. Unfortunately the whole experience has left me with a very bitter taste in my mouth regarding the restaurant. I hope the owners can see through their ignorance and actually acknowledge that customers make their business flow. Losing customers is the best way to finish off your business. My thoughts and experience is no reflection on the staff but the owner himself.

The best food. Great choices. Fresh and hot and delicious. We are regulars here and will continue to be. Highly recommended.

It is the best veg restaurant in Leicester

Food good. It's not too spicy. Samosas vary in taste, sometimes they are more spicy, sometimes sweet, and sometimes less spicy. Maybe different chefs make them. I don't like two things. The first is the price. I pay differently every time for the same order. I paid twice under £15. Last time I paid £20 because the lady serving me weighed the goods. No one has weighed this before. I give 4 stars for the food and subtract one star for the price. The second thing I don't like is young customers who stare at my wife every time and smile stupidly, thinking that she is happy about it. She is not happy and is very bothered by their behavior. No parking available. You have to look for a long time in crowded streets or park illegally, quickly buy food and run away to avoid getting a ticket.

We r here to have dinner on birthday occasion. Food is fantastic, hygieneic. We bring cake with us but end of the dinner we ask for cake cutting and management ask to pay £20 for cake cutting charges which is not fair. Request all customer if you want to go for birthday dinner than it's not worth it.

Great option for north indian food plus small favour's of south indian food also.

Yesterday I visited "Mithaas Restaurant, Leicester" with my family, and I left feeling very disappointed. The food was clearly reheated and not fresh at all. I didn’t say much at the time other than the food is not great at that time because my kids were with me, but it really ruined what should have been a special day. What bothered me even more was that it felt like the restaurant picks and chooses which customers they can fool. As an Asian customer, I couldn’t help but feel like they thought they could take advantage of me. This was not right and left me feeling disrespected. I hope the restaurant realizes that all customers deserve fresh food and fair treatment, no matter who they are.

Delicious food. Ample portions.

A great experience having dinner at Mithaas. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious with a lot of options without onion and garlic! Will definitely visit again 😊

Rude staff. No hygiene while handling food.

Really nice, loads of genuine quality Indian sweets and nibbles, vegan and gf options, clean, friendly, best of Leicester!

Best South Indian vegetarian we have been to. Fresh, clean and well spiced. Snacks, some unusual veg curries, and dosa/breads all served at their best.

Definitely one of our favourite Indian restaurants in Leicester - we visit at least once a month since finding it! Also, vegan items are clearly marked with a green V with great variety of foods on offer! Location is very busy and parking isn't great, so recommend parking on the residential side street and paying for parking (cheap and only need to pay until 6pm). When you enter the restaurant, immediately you'll see the mithai (sweets) and savoury snacks counters. Theres a wide variety of mithai such as different types of penda, barfi, halwo, kaju katli, jalebi etc. Also a great range of savoury snacks including samosas, spring rolls, kachori, dhokla, onion bhaji, battered whole stuffed chillis, bateta vada, battered potato slices, spinach pakoras, Patra, khandvi etc Prices are very reasonable (e.g veg samosas and kachori are 50p each!). These counters are busy as the food is good quality and freshly made on site. The restaurant is simple and clean, again very busy and popular which is a testament to the great variety of food on offer. Don't expect posh plates and cutlery and all that faff - the food is the showstopper! Bollywood music plays very quietly, it could be turned up just a little bit too create a nicer atmosphere (not a big problem!) On the dining menu is full range of Starters - samosa, bhajis, etc Chaat (Indian street food) - Pani Puri, sev Puri, aloo tikki chaat, dahi vada etc Sizzlers - paneer dishes, tandoori mogo etc, South Indian - variety of dosa, uttapam and idli Indo-Chinese - chilli mushroom/paneer/aubergine, noodles and manchurian etc Lots of Vegetable and paneer curries Good selection of rice, breads, parathas. Variety of drinks including juices, lassis, beers Prices and portions sizes are very reasonable - for example: one soft drink, one beer, 2 starters & 3 mains, bill roughly £35. Service is polite and not overly fussy, but can get slower during busy periods. Also recommend booking, as tables are often reserved. Highly recommend visiting here for a true taste of India as the range of food is superb. We always really enjoy our visits and end up both eating too much food and bringing lots of snacks home to enjoy! Thank you Mithaas, we will see you again soon!

Been coming here years, always eat in restaurant and have take away. Staff very attentive. My go to place in Leicestershire.

The food was stale, watery and cold especially the tadka dal

Best Indian Veg restaurant in Leicester. They have a big customer base, which means more rotation so there is very little chance of old food in stock. If you like to eat spicy food, make sure you mention this to the person who is taking the order. They have recently extended their dine-in capacity.

I am a regular customer at this place ... Today I had unpleasant experience. Irrespective quality of samosas or Dhokla, they used to give chutney. I bought Dhokla today and he had a disgust look and hasn't give chutney. This is bad on the restaurants part and downfall has started.

You get good quality food.tastes yummy. My favourite is all chats.

I had a lovely time here with my family as we were passing by Leicester from visiting Nottingham. I knew Leicester had some decent restaurants and I hope this was one of them. I was right, the prices were all reasonable and the flavours of the vegetarian dishes we ordered all were very pleasant. Great to see a busy bakery attached to it. Definitely recommend to others if you enjoy vegetarian Indian street food and snacks

When I was at the restaurant with my family, I had ordered Hakka noodles and when it came there was a dead mosquito in there. When I asked to talk to the owner, he proceeded to say that he would either make a new batch of noodles or the bill would be on the house. In the end he removed the Hakka noodles from the total bill. I have attached a photo of the bill to prove this.

I have brought Penda and Berfi from Mithas for an occasion. Both were awful, specifically Berfi. Faul smell couldn't eat a bite. I will suggest all who would buy Indian Sweets from here. Please ask them to give it to you to taste before buying to test the sweet's quality, irrespective of anything. Melton road sweet shops are better.

Great for veggie s and clean toilet's.will visit again.

Today, we dined here for the first time with family and friends and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, all perfectly seasoned without being too spicy. While we did have to ask for water the service was friendly and accommodating. The casual and warm atmosphere made it a perfect spot for dining with family and friends. Highly recommended!

The food is reasonably priced and quite good. The quantities are quite good. Tried the masala tea and punjabi samosas, they were quite good.

Never eaten in as it's always very busy, which is a good thing. I have had multiple takeaways, and I've never been disappointed. The food is always fantastic and made to authentic recipes. The staff are very friendly and helpfull. The food is very reasonably priced, and the restaualways seems to have a good atmosphere when i pop in to get a takeaway.

Excellent food at amazing prices. My favourite are Punjabi samosa and the balls stuffed with peas or lentils.

I like the food and ambience there . We had thali which include matar paneer, aloo gobhi , yellow daal, 3 chapatis,gulab jamun . Everything was tasty in thali . We also had cheese dosa that was bit salty but rose faluda was awesome. Mango lassi was ok . Service was good .

Mithaas is a very good restaurant . Good food, good staff

serving Indian cuisine at affordable price and good quality

We ate many things..all are good and mango faluda is amazing.🤩

Absolutely fantastic food. Cannot fault the staff, the atmosphere or the food.

Good food in general taste wise and price is okay as well. Only downside is the quality and quantity of oil used. It makes you feel bloated. Would be great if they use the good quality ingredients and oil, happy to pay more for that. I think at-least few indian places should focus on quality and not the cheapest and most unhealthy.

Had really great food, including the service was really amazing. I told the staff that I had a dairy allergen and she was very quick on the spot to notify and recommend great dishes and even helped to offer to customise the food because my my dairy allergen. Would definitely come again!!

Excellent place to enjoy pure vegetarian authentic Indian cuisine.

Peaceful with parties. Unusual occurrence of belly ache that may have been my own problem.

We recently ordered Hakka noodles and were very disappointed with the experience. When the dish arrived, it was extremely salty. We asked the waiter if she could change it, but instead of preparing a new dish, she merely added boiled noodles to the existing ones and served it back to us. The result was bland and tasteless. When we pointed this out, she offered to make a fresh batch, but by then, we had already decided to leave and asked for the bill. The customer service was pathetic, with no coordination among the staff, and the food quality was equally disappointing. We won't be returning.

Personally I love the food here. They cater for no onion no garlic. Paneer dishes are delicious. Staff are friendly and polite. Parking can be an issue but that’s to be expected in that area.

Amazing food and great service!

Nice place with a lot of options for Indian sweets and other snacks will visit again

I just loved the food, this is my new fav in Leicester, m not going to Belgrave road any more :) The thaali was simply wow, authentic taste and papei chaat was great too, the fact that they accommodated no Ginger , garlic food for my mum was cherry on top, and reasonable too , I have been here before when they did not restaurant but they operated as a sweet shop, it was great then too, highly recommend it

We usually visit once a week to have our fill of samosas which are superb. Spinach pakoras, lentil balls and pea/garlic balls also wonderful. Fabulous selection of savoury snacks and breads which are all of high quality. Possibly the best Indian sweets in Leicester.

I travelled from Barnsley and my son and daughter travelled from Chipping Norton. We met half way in Leicester to visit the Baby shop to get advice about prams and decided to go here for lunch (I’m vegetarian). We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. Lovely seating area, good service with a smile and very efficient. My daughter and I chose the special at 9.99 - small portions of various delights, and my son chose three separate dishes that were full of delicious flavours. My son and daughter commented they could easily become vegetarian if they could access food of this quality and flavour where they live. I’d love something like this local to me in Barnsley. Thank you so much.

This is a vegetarian restaurant specialising in Gujarati food but also has an extensive menu of Indian curries, street food and breads, and Chinese style vegetarian dishes. Good tasty food.

Khasta kachori chat was amazing..must try..

Today I bought laddu from MITHAAS. When i came home while eating we found long hair in laddu. Everyone start vomiting .🤮 They ignore the hygiene and jst hold big attitude towards their business. Breaking the trust of customers. Shame going to report health department

Dhokla and gulab jamuns with cream are awesome.. Highly recommended

Very good delicious food, service was good. Overall it was very good restaurant.

Amazing samosas, sweets, parathas and subjis. Thali is great value and tastes home cooked. Nice seating area to visit with family or friends groups

Great veggie food, we recommend the crazy Paneer Tikka Masala and also the fried rice.

"I had a disappointing experience when I visited recently. Despite enjoying the food, I was humiliated by the staff because I didn't know the correct name of a dish. Such behavior is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the establishment's customer service. I hope they can improve their attitude towards customers in the future."

Really disappointed with this venue. My elderly parents (late 70's) went to Mithaas on 14/3/24. Within a faluda drink my mum found a piece of plastic (in the picture). This was reported to the staff at the restaurant. The owner came over shortly after, took the plastic piece away and then came back to the table in a very defensive and rude manner. No real acceptance of any fault and fairly rude to an elderly Asian couple. Be careful of what you are actually served here. If you can do so avoid it altogether. There are plenty of other actual nice places to eat in Leicester. I have reported this matter to Trading Standards also.

The staffs there should have some propoer training to treat the customers. Very disappointed by the staff and their attitude.

Used to be better but it's become very apparent quality is slipping, staff have serious emotional or mental issues. The owners should fire them as they are so rude & even lie to their customers, so the staff shouldn't be trusted. Their practices of food handling is unhygienic, if you want to get parasites, eat there they likely have plenty with the way they behave. There's better Indian sweets available close by too & cheaper. Stay away & be safe!

Placed an order as usual place had let me down, needed 60 samosas 60 paneer rolls as well as other bits for an outside catering event, nothing was too much trouble, ordered extra to sample at our cafe and it was delicious, samosas were fresh, paneer and spring rolls were outstanding. Thank you Claras cafe and tearooms

excellant food with warm welcome

Delicious food, service and atmosphere really good

Food is good especially sweets and staff and service is good

Food is always good and the staff are always friendly. Was very quiet, hence the 4 star. Highly recommended

Nice Indian foods at reasonable price as always. Love it

This restaurant was very nice. It had two main rooms, one for small food or deserts and one is where you eat, the structure is modern and many choices on the menu. The food is fabulous and I tried a chai tea, a veg uttapum, and veg thali. There are many drinks, even types of chips and a small kids choice of food. There are indo Chinese food, masalas and many more amazing food. Service was quicker than other restaurants I've been to and you get large amounts of food for good money. This is why I rate it 5 out of 5. The dessert options are fabulous and there is a large variety of different vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and milky options.

We go here quite regular for the sweets savories and the pakoras some very nice things here the staff are great and helpful very well recommended it's fantastic

This morning, I enjoyed a breakfast of aloo paratha paired with sweet lassi at this charming restaurant. Although the service was a bit slow, the atmosphere was delightful, and the staff were friendly. The highlight was their wide selection of sweets, a definite must-try for anyone visiting. No parking

I ordered online and they delivered before time. I ordered Shrikhand, Paneer Makhani, Gulab jamun and Besan Barfi. The Paneer Makhani was delicious, flavourful and rich. Might be one of the best I had. The gulab jamun were good size and proportion was good too...They were sweet of course. The Besan Barfi was tasty, good. Shrikhand was ok. It could be better with bit more sour Curd and cardamom. Overall I liked this restaurant and would be visiting in person soon. I think one of the best Indian veg restaurant. Price are good to reasonable.

Terrible food . please don't ever go there!!!!

The sweets were delicious. We got jaggery ladoo, ladoo, the cashew sweet with silver on top, barfi, and aloo and gobi parathas as a to go style breakfast

The food I truly authentic and is very reasonably priced! I have been a regular visitor for 6 years. A must visit if you are in Leicester.

Good indio-chinease veg food. Went on Sunday when quite and service was good. The szechuan rice came cold and asked for Hot fresh rice. This was expedited well. Would go again as reasonably priced and good taste overall. Thanks

Food and service always on point here

Fantastic Jalebi, Fresh and crispy. The Chevraw is the Best. I liked the spicy one. SAMOSA and the other fried starters are always great too. Haven't tried the mains dishes so cant comment. Great place always clean and freindly staff. 2024 Still as good as Always

Excellent food and service. Reasoably priced. We tend to buy 20 samosas and freeze them although they just dropped their cheaper prices for buying 10 which is a bit of a shame. Updated review; still amazing. Highly recommended the dosa. Updated updated... Still fab, I accidentally ordered two dosas. They offered to take it back but I ate them both.

uncle ji serving was very nice, generous and created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, 10/10 customer service, will be going back p.s thank you for the extra jalebi

Excellent Indian / south Indian vegetarian/ vegan food. Thali is recommended. Takeaway also available

Hello! The dishes are below average except chilli mushroom and paneer noodles. The prices are very high to the quantity. I really don't like the staff blady attitude towards the Indian(Telugu) people. I've taken the Mango milkshake, it's worse(just a concentrated liquid) and it's waste of my single penny. Not at all the Indian style. Thank you.

Lovely staff and a nice girl named Anisha ,she served the food in a gentle way. It must be a really great place to have dinner with your family. Enjoying delicious food with loved ones is always a special experience here.

Just been to Mithaas, absolutely loved the food. Loved the Sev Puri was absolutely delicious and so was the Bombay Sandwich. Will definitely visit again!

Over priced. Small quantities. Not standard of Indian home made food.

I just ordered a food from mithas . And they just send me 2 bhatura only no chole. How can you forget the food. Seriously,??? Poor service

My daughter comes here regularly, but we were down for Christmas and popped in to get some snacks for Christmas Eve, really delicious food and cheap too, seems very popular.

Very nice experience. Good service and good quality of Indian Food.

Imli chatni like water please I requst to mithas owner please make a proper imli chatni

Good place to have indian vegetarian food options. Our family is thankful for your warm welcome and the tasty food. Only note for others, it is situated on a busy road so parking is bit of a challenge.

Since living in Leicester I have eaten in various Indian restaurants but never like this place. Excellent, I will return and recommend it. Compliments

The food was alright, I didn't think much of their food though, and the service there was very slow, even though they charged me £21.00 for their limbu Pani, when limbu Pani isn't that expensive at all.

Excellent service.. despite being a v cold day.. made us feel comfortable

Tasty food to eat in or take away. I have visited here quite a lot and would recommend.

The restaurant was a tad cold but great meal and service.

The queue for take away went out the door and up the road.

First visit. Amazing food. Certainly eat there again.

Bought take away snack ‘Dhokia’ on Sunday 26th November. Had a stale oil after taste and gave me tummy upset! Ruined my excitement. Phoned the owner to report this..the reaction was cold. Let alone offer a refund, he did not even say sorry just said ‘thank you for the call and hung up’

Lively atmosphere really enjoyed the food. Didn't have to wait for the food. Portion size are good.

Five stars are not enough for the food quality and the service, they deserve at least 10 stars. Beyond perfection!!!

A bit posher than my usual choice of curry house, but the thali was very good :-)

Very food resturant. Food nice and fresh. Would recoment. Good wide range of dishes.

Food is good, great depending on what dishes you order and it is reasonably priced. The service is fantastic and the staff are super friendly. I would recommend a meal here especially any of their chaats!

Yesterday, on Diwali I bought some sweets from Mithaas. Those sweets are too much delicious than before. From 2 years everytime I purchased from the same place but not gave me taste of India but this time I appreciate heartly because this time I enjoyed the sweets with Indian taste.

Really great flavourful food. The staff got us in on short notice on Diwali day. The aloo roti was fab. Also enjoyed black dal and the palak paneer, which had turmeric undertones. We really like the Mithaas sizzler too, which had good variety of sampler foods with the cassava and paneer being standouts. The masala tea however was just not too my taste as too strong for me. Overall however was very good food and friendly, helpful staff/ service so recommend and I def plan to return to try out other items on their menu
