Everytime I eat rice in Sharmilees I have diarrhoea. Looks like they don't wash their rice thoroughly before cooking. Lot of oil too in their restaurant food

We visited Sharmilee on Tuesday 25/2 to celebrate my mum’s 82nd birthday. She was very excited and had been craving a masala dosa. The atmosphere upstairs was pleasant, and we were looking forward to a nice evening. My dad ordered a thali, which he enjoyed, and my nephew loved his paneer dish. The mogo was fine too - a little hard but tasty. However, my mum’s dosa was not up to standard. The potato curry inside had clearly gone off. She attempted to eat just the outer shell, but it was difficult for her, and that’s when we realized something was wrong. We tasted it ourselves and confirmed that the curry tasted odd before raising the issue with the staff. The lady who served us seemed surprised by the complaint, so we suggested she taste the curry herself. She assured us not to worry and went to check with the kitchen. Shortly after, she returned, offering to prepare a fresh dosa, but by that time, my mum was feeling nauseous and had lost her appetite. She refused any further food, so we asked if the dish could be removed from the bill instead. We didn’t request any additional discount beyond that, as we felt that would be the appropriate gesture after such an experience. However, the staff informed us that they could not remove the item from the bill and could only offer another dish instead. We had to explain that my mum was not interested in more food due to feeling ill and asked if they could speak to the Manager about removing the charge for the inedible dish. The lady went to the cashier and came back saying they couldn’t adjust the bill since the item was 'tilled', but they would give us a 10% discount instead. This response left us confused. If they could alter the bill for a discount, why couldn’t they simply remove the £5.95 charge for the dish? Though we didn’t argue over the small amount, the whole situation felt disappointing, especially from a reputable place like Sharmilee. Despite everything, we thanked the staff and left without making a fuss. The reason I’m writing this review now is because my mum spent the whole night in discomfort, suffering from stomach pains and diarrhoea due to the spoiled food. Not only did this ruin her birthday, but she’s still recovering two days later. I’m giving the restaurant 2-3 stars, as it was just the 'one dish' that was problematic, however the way the situation was handled was disheartening. In a case like this, I would have expected not only a removal of the item from the bill but also a further discount or some goodwill gesture for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, the way the staff handled the complaint didn’t show much empathy, and my mum’s experience highlights the need for better food storage and more thoughtful customer service. Hopefully, this review will encourage the restaurant to be more cautious and address complaints with greater care in the future.

DON’T BOTHER COMING HERE. I decided to give this restaurant a try, but my experience was nothing short of APPALLING. Partway through my meal, I found a PIECE OF HAIR in my food. Feeling PURELY DISGUSTED and SHOCKED, I called a waitress over and informed her of what I had discovered. She APOLOGIZED and brought me a new plate, and while I typically would have left, my family had already started eating, so I stayed, giving them the BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT that this was a one-off mistake. However, when I mentioned the incident again while paying, the waitress at the till had the AUDACITY TO BLAME ME for the hair in my food. My hair is SHORT AND CURLY, my sister’s is the same, and my mother WEARS A HIJAB—yet the hair I found was LONG AND STRAIGHT. When I pointed this out, she became RUDE AND DEFENSIVE for NO REASON. To make matters worse, she handed me the receipt with a MEASLY £3.40 REDUCTION, which turned out to be ONLY A 5% DISCOUNT for finding HAIR IN MY FOOD. When I questioned this, she responded with ATTITUDE. Then, AFTER WE LEFT, she CHASED US DOWN THE STAIRS over a 54P DISCREPANCY in the bill, causing even more ALARM AND DISTRESS. Once arriving home after that OUTRAGEOUS INCIDENT, I realized I had been EXTREMELY OVERCHARGED.My receipt shows that I was charged for TWO EXTRA PEOPLE at the buffet—ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUSconsidering how the waitress had already treated us. This just adds to the blatant lack of professionalism and respect at this place. The service was ABSOLUTELY VILE, and I WILL NEVER REVISIT. If you value CLEANLINESS, PROFESSIONALISM, and BASIC RESPECT, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND EAT ELSEWHERE.

Perfect place to enjoy delights of Indian Sweets Welcome: Lovely welcome by the counter staff as I came here to buy sweets for some friends in regards to a celebration. Ambiance: Nicely presented and clean Menu: The food menu is great but I came for sweets Presentation: Nicely presented but would recommend new clear labels for customers Taste: The Indian sweets are excellent but must say I was truly disappointed by the quality of Ras Malai which I have tasted here for over 20 years and these did not taste like ras malai but rather rasgolla. Hard and grainy not smooth and silky or creamy like before. Please change your recipe back to how it was. Costs: Average for Leicester Drinks: did not see Service: very good Recommendation: Yes this place is family run and they value what they do Score: 4/5 due to terrible ras malai

Came here with friends and saw a 'Thali' option in the menu. Thought of sharing a thali between us like we usually do. Only when the thali plate came and later we learnt it is a buffet system. They should mention clearly in the menu that a Thali is a Buffet and not a fixed menu that they serve. Food was average compared to other places and the situation has been very embarrassing. Now not only I was not given what I asked, but I am being insulted saying I have not explained the staff what I wanted from the owner it self. I don't want to add more negative reviews as I believe karma will do its own work. Good luck

Cada pocos meses tomamos las horas en coche a Leicester para simplemente comer. Y ayer, después de leer una publicación en las redes sociales, nos dirigimos al restaurante Sharmilee en Belgrave Road. Conocemos el camino, no es nuestra primera visita y de nuevo no decepcionó. Pasando la cola en el mostrador de bocadillos de abajo, una masa de color con una gran selección de dulces, nos dirigimos arriba. No reservé y tuvimos la suerte de que había una mesa de cuatro desocupados. El lugar estaba zumbando al igual que el buffet. Después de leer el menú y pedir consejo al personal, tomamos la oferta especial buffet. Fue una gran elección y una experiencia muy diferente. Está lejos de un plato y amontonarlo asunto alto. Nos dieron bandeja estilo thali y de ahí recoges tus ollas, igual que un thali, y las llenas del buffet. Probamos todo y todo estaba lleno de sabor, con consejos ahumados, especias y calor de fondo. Había platos de patata, maíz dulce y paneer. Además de arroz, pan, dalias y buñuelos. Sumado a esto había chutneys, ensaladas indias y golosinas dulces. Nos encanta el pani puri así que junto con el buffet añadimos un par de estos como guarniciones. Ellos también eran divinos. En general una gran experiencia, buena comida, gran personal y un lugar lleno de clientes muy contentos. Y no olvidar el gran valor.

After standing their with a baby fir almost 30 minutes it was just unfair, we have been visiting this place since years but they have now started taking their customers for granted particularly the young generation who are very impolite at times

The place has 2 parts. 1st the downstairs for quick munch and takeaways, 2nd is the upstairs where a restaurant has been set up in much more formal ways 1st - the downstairs is quick and easy for all indian fast food , which I rate highly 👌 with some decent seating arrangement. 2nd- upstairs is more for Thali set up largely but also offers a variety of dishes from the menu.. It's okay, not massively impressed, Basically, you pay more if seating upstairs but wish to order some food from downstairs. Overall, the service is good and quick, I would prefer to stick to Gujarati dishes here rather than being too experimental with Indo Chinese.

Lassi is prepared so asking for no salt to be added was difficult. They swapped it but could still taste it. I wouldn’t visit again. £30 for 2 people 2 x buffet 2 x lassi

Had lunch at Sharmilee today, and it was fantastic! The buffet lunch is a great deal at just £8 per person. You get to choose from 4 different curries, and there's a nice variety of salad, Daal Rice, Kadhi Pilav, Poories, and a sweet to top it all off. Everything is bottomless, so you can eat to your heart's content. The food was excellent, the staff were super friendly, and overall, it's very reasonably priced. Highly recommend if you're looking for a delicious and affordable meal!

Starters were awesome especially Paneer sizzler, Special chat and Dahi Vada (which we ordered) and can’t really complain about the quantity, we also ordered Plain and Masala dosa but it was not up-to the expectation (not very bad either)

I dined at the buffet alongside my mother, and we must admit, every dish possessed a unique and genuine flavour. The sauces were rich in fresh spices and herbs. The spinach and masala puri were particularly delightful to me. I cannot forget the passion fruit juice, it was like a party in my mouth! I am looking forward to returning to this place in the future. Many thanks to each staff member for your prompt and friendly service :)

Visited this place to try the buffet. The buffet had a decent spread of items and it tasted good. We also tried the mushroom fried rice and malai kofta which were very delicious. They also have a good variety of Indian snacks and sweets.

The service was a bit slow and their masala tea wasn't the best I've had. Snacks, eg. chaat and pav bhaji were quite authentic and tasty. The music could be a bit softer.

We came here for Mothers Day and were charged £11.95 per person for the buffet. The normal charge is around £6 per person for the buffet. At the time of booking we were told the increase was due to a special menu on the night for the buffet. When we arrived the place was very busy however there was not a special menu as we had previously been told. We asked where the special menu was and were told someone would come over to speak to us. Nobody came. The food in the buffet was cold and there were also empty trays where food should have been. There were hardly any staff and I overhead some other customers complaining as well. The restaurant seems to have gone downhill in my opinion and we won't be going there again. Not a great experience. We would have had a better experience and service going elsewhere.

The food was very nice and staff were really helpful, enjoyed an evening there on my mums birthday. The food was spot on, I don't normally eat fried but made an exception as the everything was drained out thoroughly and was really nice. My mum enjoyed herself and ate more then she usually does. I would recommend sharmilee and will be returning in the near future. Also a thank you to the staff who helped me with my dietary needs.

Lovely food, good atmosphere, but our whole experience with Waiteress was really bad which over shadowed our whole meal. The Waiteress that served us looked like a 11 year old with the worst attitude ever, she looked like she doesn’t want to be there. Service to our table took ages, and then when the Waiteress came, there was no apology and she spoke so rudely when taking our drinks order that we nearly left at that point. We gave benefit of the doubt that it could be busy, but we were wrong, her attitude was the same for all the other customers too. The Waiteress could barely hold the drinks and gave no smile or appreciation for us even being there. It was very unprofessional and I don’t pay good money to be disrespected by a child. I don’t think I will return to be served like this. I rather take my money else where, where it’s appreciated.
