Star Vishnu Dhaba in Leicester

The food and hygiene in this place is so utterly woeful

Always make mistake, miss food item and take forever. And to add insult to injury I order a masala naan, and this is their idea of masala naan… (see pic! Just rub some ketchup on a plain naan…?!) ridiculous and pathetic. You missed my paneer Parantha completely!

Great Veg food. However, Big Communication problem. Everytime I say 3 times when ordering, please keep Roti / Paratha Dry NO BUTTER!.... but everytime it still comes out with Butter? I have to send it back and waste 10 more minutes, whilst the curry gets cold

We had a rice dish missing (ordered for the gluten free person. Also only 6 small pieces of paneer in a palak paneer. Other items were ok.

Pizza Not good in taste waste of money

This is the best restaurant, well worth every penny spent. I have been ordering my spring rolls and veggie samosas, along with all other delectable dishes, from them. I highly recommend trying the samosas and spring rolls in particular.

Star vashnu dhaba have never failed to provide me the perfect meal and at a price point that is truly unmatched. Quality of the meal was truly brilliant and the whole restaurant gives off a “at home” vibe that’s so welcoming and comforting. This is real authentic Indian cuisine.

A lovely, homely little family run restaurant, with some of the most authentic, comforting Indian food i’ve ever had. Don’t expect a curry house type food, instead you’ll get real Indian food. The staff may not speak perfect english but the food more than makes up for it and at a very reasonable price. I'd recommend the Aloo Tikki for a starter, and the regular Thali with chole, Aloo gobi, Bhatura, Dehi, Kheer and a mango lassi. I can’t praise this place enough, as a white person who grew up with westernised Indian food, it’s great to try something authentic with so much more flavour and textures. Please, please try this place!!!

What a great traditional meal 😋

one of the best restaurants in Leicester. food is made with love ❤️

wht the hell is thiss .. too low quality too muchh .. paneer is lyk plastic ..very low quality food .. do you think its paneer dosa ?? another one i order is aloo tikki chaat thts just tasteless ..i mean no words to explain their food quality just literally rubbish ... rise your price of foodbut atleast serve food quality to people nd value their money too ..

Worst resturant We order on just eat first they miss our pizza And when we call we got they delivered but I found hair in pizza base And worst food packaging All food was cold To much salt in dahi bhalla Fries, smosa chat , everything we order was cold ,pizza taste good and warm but I found hair So bad satisfaction

Very tasty food I ordered chole bhature (100% recommended) for parties at my home and they were awesome Pocket friendly and tasty food Good quality Good quantity Very friendly

the Moong Di Daal was very nasty this time, I spoke to the takeaway and was informed you must have been given the wrong one, next time I make you a nice one. that really helped with my dinner this evening.

Samosa not good. Not good fillings in the samosas and didnt fry well too. No sauce or salad in burger.

Read the reviews before ordering however still disappointed as the food was just not tasty at all sadly.

They all very slow and food was alright

Great small family run take away / restaurant. Don't expect the food to be ready in 10 minutes as everything is done fresh so yes it does take time. But definitely worth it.

Very good as always thank you

the food was not good at all, I ordered Hakka noodles but I received some other noodles or the chef didn't know how to cook, rest the dahi Puri is supposed to have dahi but their was none. and even dosa was not hot. Sorry but I couldn't even finish the food

We ordered masala dosa but it was not well cooked even though we waited half an hour for the food

nice place, delicious food, and very friendly staff.

Thank you for your wonderful food

Purely Vegetarian Food to eat in or take away. We serve Indian/Punjabi foods, Indo-Chinese, Italian, Mexican dishes, Pizza and also Freshly made Fruit Juices! We also have Specially made Indian Sweets & Barfi for all occasions! Free Delivery if you spend £12 or more!

They were too late to prepare food and when I got delivery it was all spilled and my food was out of containers, my roties were messed with curry, and delivery man hold my food like all ups and down he even didn’t realise the food is spilling out from bag aswel, horrible experience from delivery man

Very good food at a fantastic price, Thank you

This is a vintage Indian typical dhaba serving good quality food that we used to get in the days before the totally rubbish food we get in restaurants these days that's been transferred from one container to another, (unless you are willing to pay over £50 for a plate of bits of food arranged beautifully on a plate). Good wholesome authentic Punjabi vegetarian indian food. If I lived there I would eat here every day and save energy that I used for cooking for something else. Normally we take our leftovers home. Today I didn't bother to calorie count, and ate the lot. My mum did as well and isn't going to have dinner tonight. Thanks a Lot. Anu

Like everything in store and staff also very helpful and thank to people who work there because they helped me a lot .

They are selling these old rotti for 2 pound . Absolutely pathetic never going back to this place again .

Terrible looking place and ambience and food is poor,never go there again.Staff look depressed and grumpy.

Served me a cold aloo paratha which is supposedly made fresh and hot from a tawa.Got home with take away in 5 minutes and it was cold.Disgusting.Never go there again.Waste of money and time.

Awful service, say 20 minutes your there waiting over 40 minutes I won't order from there again. Staff very rude talk in there own language very unhelpful. Lady in the kitchen was so load saying, talking about customers. Pizzas don't taste as nice as they use to. Maybe they also need someone who can speak English when taking orders. Cups and plates still on the tables that have not been picked after use. Very unclean restaurant.

Not a tasty food and very slow service.

Food and atmosphere is ok But the quality is going down on all stuffed parathas Before it was like top 1 quality food but now a days all parathas like a thin like papad

Like the food sply Vegetarian people will not disappoint from food and Price

Ordered pizza from here last month and it was okay although the vegetables on a VEGETABLE PIZZA were sparse. Ordered it again this month (same pizza) and it was disgusting. Bland and dripping with oil. The slices were soggy and gross. We ordered two thin crust pizzas and two deep pan pizzas but all we got were four thin crusts instead. Two were supposed to be spicy but all FOUR tasted bland. I might as well have eaten plain bread dipped in oil. Also they didn't even bother to cut the pizza properly and we had to cut it at home. Awful food, awful restaurant, awful service. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I have been a loyal customer of this place for over 7 years. Up to about a year ago, the food was really nice, although the service has always been really slow. But since the past year I have ordered 4/5 times and my orders are always either wrong or problems with the quality of the food. I'm not sure who the new chefs are but they are absolutely rubbish! Once I ordered for guests, they were 2hrs late and wrong food! Due to health problems I can't cook much so today I ordered Saag for my family with Roti asked for onions and green chillies on the side. NO ONIONS OR CHILLIES AND SAAG WAS RUNNY LUKE WATER. When I complained, the manager simply said. Yes I know it is slightly runny, Just wait for it to go cold and it will go thicker. WHO EATS COLD SAAG? I asked him that, he didn't reply. I won't be ordering food from there again I will go a few doors down and try Sardaar Restaurant instead, - these guys have lost a lot of business as we were a regular customer.

The poorest Briyani that I have ever tried.

We have visited Star Vashnu Dhaba in Leicester for many years. Their food is always very good, when you get served that is! Their service lets them down. They are always very slow. We visited recently and our order was not even taken, we had leave after a long wait! It would be a good restaurant if they sorted out their service. The staff can very rude and angry at times too.

Great food, had Kashmiri Paneer, very nice, service a bit slow, but wasn't in a hurry so no worries. 2 hours of parking in Tesco's just down the road. Plenty of other food choices on Narborough Rd.

One of the worst place to eat I would give negative points

Unlike the big majority of the Sikhs this people are disrespectful! They are slow and dirty !

There service is like , no way. Minimum sit for 10 hours after giving order😂

A spot in Leicester for typical Punjabi Vegetarian dishes and Pizza.

Took over 2 hours to deliver just for a small amount of food and food was sub par

Worst masala dosa I ever had, chutney must have been spoilt.

Nice quality Indian food at an affordable price. They have pizza 🍕 too!

Best Vegetarian food in Leicester. Recently we did some food tasting for wedding caterers and this place actually came out as number one1!!!! It was better tasting than most wedding caterers around. The only downside was that for that amount of catering the price was quite expensive compared to others. Naearly Double price !!! Verdict: Prices are very good for a meal out, Quality of food is Excellent, but too expensive for a wedding. UPDATE IN 2023. THIS USED TO BE THE BEST FOR FOOD QUALITY. BUT LATELY THEY HAVE GiVEN US WRONG ORDERERS OR ORDERS NOT EXACTLY AS ORDERED. THEY HAVE NEW STAFF AND SERVICE IS NOW APPAULING!! COMPLAINED SO MANY TIMES, WRONG PIZZAS, WRONG CURRY, OLD ROTIS PLACED IN FRESH ONES,OR 2HR LATE DELIVERY.

Pizza very tasty this restaurant and cheep

Delicious. I had the Thali and asked what they recommended, and it was all amazing. If you like vegetarian food this is the place to visit. Good food, good service, and good price!

Good price for good amount of food, tastes well just like homemade food, good quantity!

Lovely aloo parathas and udad dal with rotisserie. Yummy.

Ordered masala dosa and idli sambar. Idli sambar not delivered. Food was not tasty the batter for masala dosa was not cooked well . Not recommended.

This is a family run restaurant serving delicious and authentic Punjabi food. There is a very good selection of dishes from the menu. All the food is made fresh from the scratch. The best part is it’s a completely vegetarian restaurant. The desserts are also made fresh and are absolutely delicious. The ambience is average but the food makes up for it.

They serve awesome and amazing tea.Just loved it .

Poor service, shop looked like poor hygiene too.

Good home made food taste, good hygiene.

Would not recommend, ordered food which arrived all separately and was cold, Dahi was gone off and service was terrible

Best price and best Indian food 😋

The service is very poor. I went hear few years ago and remember the food taking soo long to make despite being the only customer. Went again yesterday and the food took over 1 hour to come. When the food arrived, they only brought the food for me & my wife, 20 minutes after they brought my sons food out. every time we asked how long is it going to take they kept saying it’s coming now. Complete disgrace and awfull service. It appears this place has had these issues for years. They have no sense of urgency and don’t seem bothered about how long they take. Wouldn’t recommend going here. There’s much more better efficient restaurants on narborough Rd.

We pop in every time we visit Leicester and fancy some authentic homemade Punjabi food. It’s delicious and friendly on the purse. Our favourites are the aloo paranteh and the sholay bhatureh, with a mug of masala chaa of course! 👌🏽

Delicious food, cheap prices. I recommend.

Really tasty food and good price. My one point to note is that the food can take a long time to cook. I don't mind this as you know it is being cooked fresh, but it is something to be aware of if you are in a rush

Very poor service. took an hour to prepare food. We were served the last inspite of coming first. Rude staff.

Quoted me 1/2 hour ended up 1 hour not the 1st time either

Not bad for the price. You will get an average belly full of food for around £6.

Really poor service in terms of time, waited for more than hour to get meal, they only focus on delivery n parcels orders rather than dine in. Very disappointed

Very yummy food and cheap also. Owner is so sweet person always keep smiling when we meet him. I recommend to all of you please visit this place.🥰

This is the 3rd Indian disgusting horrible experience me and my family had in this Leicester. We placed a very large order and through Just Eat app, and it was shown for over 40 minutes WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION, we tried to call the restaurant and the Indian lady answered and spoke in her Indian language and hung up on us because she couldn't speak English, she hung up rudely. We tried to call back and she would refuse to answer, then we insisted and she answered again in her Indian language, then passed the phone to her customer to speak for her which I was in complete shock. The customer even he said he had to go down to theirs restaurant as they placed an order and it happened the same thithing with them. The Indian lady continues to speak only in her language as this were India not UK, I kindly request the customer on the phone if I can speak with the manager but the lady said to him in Indian that there is no manager. I have never had cush a horrifying experience before. Horrible restaurant and if they do this to so many customers then there is a serious problem with this restaurant, and I was shocked as the customer told me over the phone that it happened to him as well, and their reviews as well, more people are having horrible experience with them. Many customers got food poised from this place.

Great veggie curry that is a mile above your usual "English" Indian takeaway. You can keep your vindaloo I'm going for an aloo bengum

I had saag and makki roti. It was very tasty.

Great value, large batch of Veggie Samosas with chutney was enjoyed by my Cancer Support group.

Only one way to describe - absolutely authentic taste. Paji was very attentive.

Good taste and quality..but quantity is less

Very nice food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Very nice taste food and good food quality very low price

We ordered the tikka masala paneer, aloe paratha, 2 samosas and naan bread. It was pretty good for a cheap price of 12. I might go back again

Wonderful place for having desi home made vegetarian food. Bee jee ke haath ka khana.( food cooked by lovely mother). hidden gem at narborough road Leicester. We had to wait for some minutes because they cook it fresh & nothing served frozen. So it’s okey as we wait at home too for good food. Staff is lovely. Any Indian who miss college days or school days in India (or home food) should go there once. Chaat and Indian snacks are tasty. Menu is full of variety. Small place but far better than other restaurants boasting to serve authentic Indian food. (No alcohol allowed). Prices are as generous as sardarji.Some wall frames are different than regular pics. Great job sardaar ji!! Tasty.. samosa... people are always in queue..!! Tasty aalu tikki chaat Tasty makki roti and sarso ka saag Tasty chhole bhatoora Tasty aalu paratha. And many more.

Authentic homemade food at reasonable prices but it took forever to arrive (almost 1 hour wait) and one of the starters never arrived. Apparently this is a usual problem at this restaurant, therefore I would stay away in future. Poor ambience.

He was so good man served hot food

Absolutely beautiful home made food excellent service

I usually have pizza from here and other sometime, I hardly get such best Pizza in Leicester and other snacks are also nice but Pizza is outstanding

Worst restaurant I have ever seen I ordered food through Uber eat from this restaurant The total food was spoiled and the chutney was rotten and was smelling like spoiled eggs. Please don't go to the Restaurant if u want to live alive...

I bought samosas, Pokoras which was all raw not properly cooked Ended up throwing in bin Will never ever recommend this food

My go to Punjabi pure vegetarian place for past 12 years. Service sometimes takes too long but seeing how busy it can be I'm not too angry with it. Superb taste and price to quality ratio.

Great service and very quick from phoning order in to collection within 30 minutes

Also Parhata, Gobi Parhata, Methi Parhata very delicious here, also reasonable, very well coming staff!

Personally I didn't like and binned half of it. However, I am fussy. Others may like it.

Everything is under one Roof ...awesome and Delicious Food.

Good Punjabi food and pizzas, we have been going for years and pop in whenever we are in Leicester

We popped in last night on a brief visit to Leicester. Used to come in years ago and loved it. They were closing but very kindly agreed to make us something from the Indian mains menu, which is what I was after anyway! The curries came with rice and chapatties, were delicious and cost under a tenner. Next time I’m in Leicester I’ll be back for sure.

Absolutely delicious, very friendly service, fresh and fast, highly recommend!

Amazing local spot for authentic Indian food. Extremely generous portions for a very good price. I will definitely be back! I ordered pick up and the restaurant had my food ready immediately. Great food and even better customer service!

I'm sad to leave such a poor review as this used to be one of my favourite places to eat, however lately the service has gone right downhill. On this last occasion we called and ordered ahead so the food would be ready on our arrival. We were told it would be about 20 mins, great! Enough time to grab our coats and get down there. However one hour later and we were still waiting for our food (just 2 of us). When the food finally arrived it was luke warm, and to top it all off my partner found a piece of paneer in her dish (she has a dairy intolerance so specifically ordered a dish with no dairy). We mentioned the issues to the staff but because they don't speak great English they hardly understood what we were trying to say. This place used to be great but these issues are too common now so I don't think we'll be returning.

Ordered takeaway. Told 20 minutes. So asked for a samosa while waiting. Waste of time. They didn’t care

BEST INDIAN FOOD AT MOST REASONABLE PRICE

Great food. Great prices. Great people.

Missed part of the order also food was off which give 3 for as upset stomach the next day

Feel like eating @Home , Mr.Singh Keep it Up😋

Lovely food. We come here every week. Never been disappointed. Love the chaats... pizza for kids... food is just delicious. Staff are friendly and great service. Would recommend .
