Rickshaw in Ashby Bangladeshi Cuisine in North West Leicestershire

Working in the area and came here based on reviews, and was not disappointed! Great place very welcoming with fantastic food. Asked for recommendation based on my preferences and was guided to a great lamb curry with peppers and onion. Would definitely recommend

Aug 2024. Another great meal, really tasty and great service as usual. 8 years later, from the review below, I still love this place. Fantastic food and great service. I've been several times now and always enjoyed it. Friendly staff who take care of your needs. Nice cosy place and a fair amount of room. There is parking, but it's a bit tight when busy. Food is great and usually served quickly and very tasty. I've had several takeaways and all but one was very good... nothing was wrong with it. It just seemed it had been cooked by a different chef and wasn't as hot. Well worth a visit or take away.

Always tasty fresh food, great atmosphere and brilliant service

Great food! Friendly staff, lovely furnishings, extensive menu and wonderful fresh and tasty food. Definitely recommended. Very reasonably priced too.

Service shocking squeezed in at 730 - total focus on a stag party - every time trolley came round hit the chair- could not have a conversation the place was so loud. Buy a take away - the staff do not care if you have a good experience - only interested in the money

Nice location and tasty food ;)

Me and the wife go to The Rickshaw every Saturday and the food is always great and the service is very good. We went tonight and we were delighted with our Chicken Jalfreizi as always. It was very busy from 6:45. Great restaurant.

Since moving to Ashby this place has been our regular place for a curry. Food is fantastic. Staff our friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is peaceful. We love it.

We went to the rickshaw June 2024 the food was absolutely beautiful mixed meat balti and my partner had Madras out of this world food have had curry for 30 years one of the best ever the service was 5 stars couldn't do enough for me and Julie we will be back soon 💖 Keep up the good work guys

Rickshaw is a lovely little Bangladeshi restaurant just a short walk out of Ashby town centre but is well worth the effort. The staff are really nice and friendly the minute you step inside the door, the decor and room ambience are lovely, and the whole place is kept beautifully clean throughout. We enjoyed a three course meal with drinks at very reasonable prices, they have an extensive menu of dishes that are absolutely fabulous ! A very memorable experience and one we intend to repeat when we’re back visiting our family, who recommended the place to us. Next time we’ll book to go there together…

I have recently moved to the area, so this was my first time here. The food was delicious, all really good quality and served hot. Service was great and attentive. Was great value for money. Will definitely be back again!

Lovely, friendly staff who couldn't do more to help. Beautiful food consistently.

Great food and nice place to eat in

Ordered for takeaway. Very nice food, generous portions and excellent value for money. They also gave a free popadom with chutneys. Would definitely order again

Dropped in for a takeaway on a hunch and was not disappointed. Wonderful flavour curry, on the sweeter side but enough spice to round it off. Really friendly staff and was ready quickly. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will return again.

Tasty authentic curry in a amiable restaurant at a fair price.

Great food, friendly staff and a smart, clean restaurant - will be coming back!

Nice prawn kumar and preshwari naan

Took my son and his wife here. I'm not from Ashby so first time visitor. Wow. What a great place. The staff are most friendly and very knowledgeable. Very accommodating. The food choice was excellent with a wide range of special dishes I will be revisiting to try out for sure. The food was absolutely superb. Very tasty and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this place and cant wait to return myself.

Very good service and food, with a large choice on the menu

Came here on 31 October and thankfully the place wasn't covered in the usual Halloween tat. The meal was lovely and staff were very polite and welcoming.

I really don't know why this restaurant is so popular. After looking forward to this meal all week, and based on recommendations, I expected to have a meal packed with flavour and spice. What we received were curries that were so sweet they were inedible. Makon chicken, passanda, lamb korma and butter chicken tasted basically the same and were all so sweet they should have been put in the sweetie aisle at tesco. Add to that the complete lack of flavour in all dishes it left us with very disappointing meal, a bill for £150 and a trip to diabetic clinic! Yes the family ate the food but more because we hadn't eaten that day so we could enjoy our night out more. On a positive note the staff were attentive and the restaurant was clean. Really let down by the food.

*Sublime taste* Considering we are in overseal delivery was only 40-45 minutes so a fast delivery and the chicken saag balti was so good! Masala had a really nice sweet taste and just really impressed. Reasonably priced too, would defo recommend!

Best Indian restaurant in Ashby. Food and service outstanding.

Best Indian restaurant in Ashby. Using for years. Best food and services. Highly recommend.

It's amazing and halal food. Highly recommended 👌

I am absolutely disgusted with what I recieved from this restaurant. I have ordered a few times from here and the food as been great but this time they sent me a Lamb Shank that was nothing more than bone and very small bits of meat. I phoned to complain and was told that they didn't have a container large enough to fit the whole shank in so didn't put everything in. I tried to take a photo to show how little meat there was on the plate in context to how much bone there was. I have had this dish before and it was great but this time it arrived I couldn't believe what I was looking at. The restaurant gave me a very poor explanation and I can't understand why they didn't call beforehand to explain that I would only receive a much smaller portion due to them not being able to fit enough shank in the container. I'm not paying £14 for this and I have processed a refund from Uber Eats. I will never order from here again. I'm really disappointed in your handling of this situation, you showed no respect to a customer that has ordered several times from you and would have continued but you tried to cut corners on my order because you couldn't be bothered.

Had a few takeaway curries from the Rickshaw and been delivered on time and nice and hot. The food itself is delicious.

Pleasent and friendly staff, beautiful home cooked food

First time visiting and looking forward to the next visit.

Never been here before despite living in Ashby for over thirty years. The food was nice and competitively priced. There is car parking at the side, as Tamworth Rd is a bit congested. Staff were friendly. Disabled friendly Would I visit again? Yes

Ordered a few take aways from Rickshaw now and every time it has been delicious. The food tastes amazing, is never greasy, and feels freshly prepared. Always greeted by friendly hosts.

Being an Indian I finally found a decent restaurant in the area which I'm gonna definitely consider coming back. Waiters are very polite as well. Overall a good experience.

Brilliant time celebrating my husbands 50th - superb curries and v reasonable

Excellent quality of food. Service efficient and polite. Highly recommended

Worse indian I've had in over 20 years. I collected my takeout and was cold by the time I was back home and home is only 1 minute away from the restaurant. The masala sauce was very bland and the chicken was very dry.

A cosy restaurant, food was amazing and good value.

Food was very tasty .. will go again ..

A good evening out, a superb meal, excellent service.

We eat here every week and always find the food good and the staff friendly and helpful. They all know us! We even had our Christmas lunch here - curry for my husband, traditional for me. The atmosphere was very festive and food excellent. The only thing I would suggest is a half-portion option for the Xmas lunch as the portions were HUGE and I couldn't do it justice!

We have used this place a few times now for takeaways and sitting meals and can’t fault it the food is absolutely banging. Reasonable prices as well

Great staff and food was amazing

Good vibe and can recommend the chicken balti

Food was good and service was also good. I felt like the portions were smaller compared to other places I have visited but what we got was nice and tasty !

Best Indian in Ashby-de-la-Zouch

This is our favourite Indian restaurant in Ashby , we travel 40miles to our friends and go to Rickshaw, great food and athmosphere , you should try it if your around the area.

Was supposed to be a surprised 60th takeaway ordered for me by ordered by my sons on my 60 th birthday,ordered through Uber eats(what a joke)they were told it arrive between 19.40-20.00 hrs,40 mins later still had not arrived and I ended up ringing Rickshaws up to be told that the delivery was on its way and was there at my house(no it wasn’t)and when it turned up(for my suprise meal)I complained to the Uber driver it was cold(and his reply was it Was busy !!!!!!!!

Had over ten visits here clean place lovely food attentive service value for money always come out stuffed

Fantastic food full of flavour, staff great will return soon

I’ve ordered a few takeaways from this place and each time the food has been consistently delicious! Staff are nice and helpful in recommending dishes. This place is now my go to takeaway.

Not a bad meal, seem to be trying much harder and nice pre meal pint over the road.

Foods amazing, staff are friendly! Only have one problem with this place and that is because there not on JustEat!

Fabulous food again. All covid measures in place too.

Fantastic place to eat in and take away

Lovely food and staff. Good place for dinner with children or night out with friends.

Good food, friendly staff and the standard prices for this type of place. Food was delicious. The restaurant has free customer parking too, and they do delivery and take away options

We had a take away on Saturday night. Friends collected it for us. It was already and waiting, piping hot and absolutely beautiful. There were five of us and all the dishes were excellent. Thank you for such great service. We definitely will be back, thank you

Really nice fresh tasty food! Very friendly and welcoming.

Brilliant food, so very tasty, and not a bad price either, will definitely go again

Excellent food highly recommended 👌

Done takeaway and dine in. Like many Indian restaurants I think they have dumbed down the spices and aromatics. Nargis kebab v nice.

Very nice food and attentive staff.

Not a great experience at this restaurant, thought the food was standard and staff were not overly happy to be there. Reviews were great about this place but my experience did not match these.

Very good food and good prices I would be glad to go back there at any time

We order every week, and this week on a very rare occasion the order arrived wrong. After calling and letting them know the correct order was at the door in 10 minutes, with fresh rice aswell! Can not fault how the issue was resolved! As good as always!

First class service food was great A must for anyone in the area

Just excellent. Everything, the service the food and the atmosphere. Wonderful, first visit, there will be more.

Great food fast service top quality drink was good too vindaloo lovely would like hotter

My wife and I spent an evening at the Rickshaw with family. The food was okay but in my opinion, not a patch on other local Indian restaurants that we frequent. The service was okay and the environment very good.

Excellent food and service thank you

A really nice meal with good service.

Avoid! The quality of the food is poor. They got our order wrong. The food was cold. We waited a long time for delivery and was overcharged. We definitely won’t be ordering from here again.

The best restaurant I've visited, ever. Service was really good and staff I'm not normally an enthusiastic person but this was really something else. Food was fresh and amazing definitely coming next time.

Food was great as always. Incredibly busy, so hr wait time went to 1hr 25. It was Saturday night in lockdown, so to be expected!

OMG that was amazing. Awesome food. Dont sack the chef keep them. This one is worth keeping. Well worth waiting 1.5 hrs for.

Food took over 2 hours to arrive, contacted Rickshaw and still awaiting on an outcome to an investigation. I spent almost £70 here and this is still continuing from over 2 weels ago, very poor service and useless customer service.

Consistently good quality tasty food

Best curry house outside of Birmingham!!

Always good service and always consistent. Can get a bit loud, but I've never had a bad meal there, and the staff are lovely

Fantastic food and very attentive but not at all intrusive service. Music just right too!

He had a group of people having a dinner party. Staff is nice. Plenty of draft Cobra, good choice of red wine bottles. The Italian chianti was lovely. Curry could have been better, I had corma and it tasted like a super sweet pudding rather than a main. To the people that cook the sauce base, please do not add so much sugar to it. Would I recommend it to a friend, maybe not unless they have a "sweet tooth".

Beautiful Lamb Roshini curry and lovely garlic fried rice! Decent service, too! Would highly recommend

Good food not been there for a while, will return soon!

Very nice meal in friendly and clean environment.

Great food, excellent service, will come back.

Good food, individual dishes in addition to the traditional Indian cuisine. Friendly staff.

Spot on every time. Friendly staff beautiful food.

Food very good and a friendly 👌

Food was fantastic. Some amazing flavours, definitely the best madras I've had. Nice heat but the flavours coming through were next level. Very impressed. Service was good, staff were polite, always busy. But not overbearing which was nice. Very relaxed, which is nice for dinner. Highly recommend.

Was really nice place. Enjoyed food and the staff were lovely

Love the food. Service is excellent and warm friendly atmosphere.

Since we moved to Ashby we have been trying all the local restaurants this was the Rickshaws turn It was very quiet even for a Sunday night We chose our favourite curries so that we could judge fairly against other Curry houses My wife said her jalfrazi was OK but my lamb madras was disappointing If there was any lamb in the dish it was microscopic So the Maya in Atherstone and Little India in Ashby are still our favourites Service was OK although the guy who took our order looked as if he did want to be there We won't be rushing back

Sadly have to agree on service being a priority over dining in its too true.Only two of us so should not take long but it did.Food is great - place is very comfortable and clean.Well mannered and polite staff but with few customers it should have been quick. Food made up for the poor service.

Pleasant enough Indian restaurant, have always enjoyed the food, dining in or take-away. The service in the restaurant however can be slow and I have had my plate thrown on the table a few times as well as the waiters spilling things during either delivery or clear up. The only thing lacking here is the service. The food is good

Beautiful food excellent service and right on our doorstep.

Nice food, but staff too busy with takeaways to handle restaurant at the same time.

Excellent.great food and service, plus good value.

Just had a take away delivery tonight.would like to praise the guy who took my order over the phone.he was amazing very caring and friendly he made us feel like a valued customer it felt like we had service excellence from him just by ordering over the phone.delivery was quick delicious and piping hot and reasonably priced will definitely be having a take away from here again and maybe venture out a have a sit in meal at the restaurant when the weather piks thank you you guys your doing amazing x

Pnemonial food lovely staff fantastic entertainment can't wait to go again

Great food. The new management currently in at the time of writing had turned the place around. Definitely the restaurant and takeaway of choice.
