Mother India Restaurant in Leicester

Food was lovely the old lady that served us wasn't welcoming she just wanted to take the order. My bad I didn't check the bill but we got over charged by 1 dish and naan breads. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BILL BEFORE PAYING WE GOT DONE OUT

We had a lovely time at this restaurant for my birthday! The food was delicious and the service was amazing - waiter even came out after we accidentally forgot our packed food to give to us. It made my birthday celebrations even more special. I would recommend.

My visit to Mother India in Leicester on September 8th, 2023, left me thoroughly disappointed. We were looking forward to a delicious meal, but the experience fell far short of our expectations. As soon as we placed our order for a chicken sizzler, a vegetable curry, and an egg curry, we were taken aback by how quickly the food arrived – just 3 minutes after ordering. This lightning-fast service raised doubts in our minds about the freshness of the dishes. Our disappointment deepened when we tasted the chicken sizzler. The chicken was incredibly tough and lacked any discernible flavor. When we asked our waitress about it, she honestly admitted that the chicken had been cooked the day before and reheated. This revelation was disheartening, and it made us question the restaurant's dedication to serving fresh and delicious food. To make matters worse, when we shared our concerns with the restaurant manager, their response was far from satisfactory. Rather than addressing our issues, they scolded the waitress for being truthful, leaving us feeling frustrated and unheard. In a city like Leicester, where there are plenty of dining options, it's perplexing why Mother India would choose to serve reheated food. Our experience at this restaurant left us not only with an unsatisfying meal but also with a sense of letdown as customers. I strongly recommend considering other dining options if you're looking for an authentic and enjoyable meal. Mother India failed to meet our expectations and left us disappointed.

The restaurant serves absolutely lip smacking food. We ordered Portion of chips Chicken noodle Dal Tarka with Jeera Rice Paneer sizzler and mix veg sizzler Garlic Chilli paneer Soya Tawa Sabji And of course some naans and beers :-) Food was served in about 20 minutes and the service was class 1 The staff was very friendly and food is reasonably priced. We surely gonna come back and I highly recommend this place to veg and non veg eaters …. I recommend booking this place in advance to avoid any disappointments ;-)

We visited here on Friday night as a group of twelve friends. The place did not disappoint us with he food served. The service was friendly and pleasing. The portion size were generous with excellent authentic taste of Indian cooking. The place was busy but the chef(s) in the kitchen did not let us down. The menu prices were very reasonable. Inside deco and w/c facilities can be better but can't fault the place for the food. Highly recommended for authentic taste. Not for eye catching appeal of the place.

the food was amazing and authentic in terms of taste. There was a great balance between spice and flavour, which can often be difficult to achieve, but the chefs have done an amazing job! The staff were very friendly and attentive, making sure we were happy with the food. The portions are great for the price you’re paying, the starters could’ve been a main! absolutely in love with the garlic naan, as the garlic was spread evenly and reached the crust, so every bite was full of flavour. All in all, would definitely recommend :)

Super tasty quality food along with excellent service. Would like to visit again with friends and family.

Stumbled upon this little gem whilst looking for somewhere to eat. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and the food was fantastic. Obviously very authentic as there were lots of things on the menu that I hadn’t seen before and the food was on the spicy side but lovely all the same. I really do highly recommend this place!

We had a lovely meal at Mother India last night. The service was excellent and the food was delicious and wholesome. We had a shared starter, a curry and rice each, ice cream and drinks and the whole meal was very good value. Would definitely recommend snd if in Leicester, would visit again.

Tried Chinese cuisine takeaway today from this place... No wonder this place is offering you a 50% off on takeaway as the prices are elevated and the quality is degraded....it felt as if the sauces had water mixed in them. Egg fried rice had just plain rice and a few scrambles of eggs... (negligible amount of veggies) chilly chicken was heavily coated with the batter and chicken couldn't be felt in it. Lollipops are £7.50 for 7 pieces with no trace of authenticity with terms of taste. All what can be said is the discount offer is compensated with quantity and quality of food.... Not sure about Indian cuisine.. But definately not worth Chinese cuisine.try only if you willing to compromise on quality.

I was told my food would be ready in approx 2.5 hours for pickup. But when I went there I waited nearly another 1 hour in the cue to get it. In total it took over 3.5 hours to get food. Was waiting outside in cold, was horrible. I've never waited this long for food before and it ruined our evening. This even put me off my food.

Every curry had its own flavour. The large meat sizzler was generous. Will visit again for sure! Staff are friendly too

If you want amazing Indian food then I can't recommend this place enough! The service is fantastic and the food is just delicious. Make sure to check it out if ever in the area.

We wanted to say thank you for our amazing meal here. The food was absolutely delicious. We have to give a special mention to the exceptional service we received from your staff. Throughout the whole evening they looked after us and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The team were also excellent at allaying my fears due to the current pandemic. Fantastic food with quality customer service is the reason this restaurant is becoming such a firm favourite of mine! Looking forward to dining with you again!

Me and my wife have been quite skeptical of eating out during the current covid pandemic, however the service at Mother India restaurant was exceptional. We were greeted by staff and informed of the covid measures in place upon entering which gave us reassurances of the environment. We have certain dietary requirements, which we had made aware to the booking manager on booking and we had also informed the owner as soon as we sat down to our table. He kindly acknowledged our requirements and personally saw to that our food was being handled correctly. I must say the food was lovely and delicious. Best Indian food I've had in a while. Chefs are great, staff are welcoming and atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend to everyone to visit.

Great food, can’t fault it. Service was great, staff was very friendly, they were able to accommodate for our needs and the food was great. It’s the first restaurant we’ve been to since lockdown, and were a little paranoid with cleanliness and all, but after...

The owner did a great job for the night for us which deserves a 5 star from me. Absolutely amazing food. The quantity and quality is just on point. Taste is mouth watering and atmosphere is lovely. Keep it up guys your doing a terrific...

Don’t get me wrong, can’t fault the food! Although on entering the restaurant we were asked to put our masks on, which we did, no problem! Then you see other groups and individual people walking in without masks, then people swapping tables, not once but...

First of all if I am paying for food I would like it the way I want to eat it. I would like it according to my pallet. The owners son takes out all his frustration from his dad to his customers. From 3 experiences...

We tried this restaurant as we heard it was new. Staff were really friendly but the service was awfully slow. We asked for drinks multiple times and the tall guy (possibly a manager) would point at other staff members to come over which was rude....

The food was delicious, full of flavour and hot spices. Great value for money and fantastic service! Will definitely eat from here again. Extra bonus that they are now on Deliveroo

Mothers 75th Birthday gathering so it had to be Mother India. Pleasantly surprised how nice a place this is, great service from Vishal the waiter who was always attentive and accessible throughout as was the Maitre D’, Sunny. Both the starters and the main meals...

Received plastic plates with food on them twice. Not happy with the food hygiene.Feels like the staff have to be told twice before they act on what you are telling them

Terrible service! Had to wait 20mins for drinks and they still forgot some and had to wait 1 hour for food!! Do not waste your time or money going to this restaurant! Extremely poor service!!

I DJ fairly regularly for the private functions and food is always spot on, can never go wrong, best in Leicester

We visited in the week. As you walk in you are not greeted by anyone but yet you need to walk up to the bar to get seated. The place needs to feel a little more welcoming and i would recommend it needs some work...

First time coming to this restaurant and I hadnt really heard much about it. On entrance, the ambience was nice and the lay out and decor in the restaurant was good. We ordered chilli chicken and prawn platter and chicken lollypop for starters and they...

I went with The Leicester Curry Club and visited with high expectations due to it previously being the 2017 winner as Sizzlers. Poor service, missing food, no knowledge of the menus and mediocre food led to it being considered very poor and the worst this...

First time going here and we couldnt fault a thing. The waiter was always close by, the drinks were great, the atmosphere was buzzing and most importantly the food was great and just to our liking. We will definitely be going back here often. The...

This restaurant was the best in Leicester under the previous owners so we’ve wanted to come here to check out the new revamp and ownership. First impressions were good, the new design and location of the bar and removal of the pool table maximises the...
