Tangoe in Leicester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've been coming to this restaurant for over a decade, and it never disappoints! The quality of the food is second to none, and the prices are unbelievably reasonable. The staff are incredibly friendly, making every visit feel welcoming and warm. The food is some of the best I've ever had, always cooked to perfection and served super quickly. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring you always leave satisfied. There's honestly nothing negative I can say about this place—it's consistently amazing! Highly recommend

Lovely restaurant interior, great food as always. Great mango lassi and passionfruit drink.

Ambiance and service was good. Table was clean. Price was reasonable and portions were adequate. Asked for starters to be served first but was told that this is not possible and that everything would be served at the same time. There was not enough space on the table for all dishes. Really don't understand why starters couldn't be served first. We ordered 6 different dishes. They were all served within 5 -10 minutes. Paneer was tough, chilli chips were soggy, crispy aubergine was hard and dry and no garnish on sev puri. The food tasted like it was stale and reheated. Certainly not cooked fresh.

We asked for a take out of various items including chilli paneer and crispy aubergines. The paneer appeared like it was just reheated and hard, the crispy abergines were not coated in batter and lacking taste. I called and complained, the person who picked up the call said there was nothing they could do. Please note, they don't even give you a receipt.

Been going here for years , top service and food cannot go wrong with the Indo Chinese is top notch , and the staff are great helpful and friendly. They even do catering orders for party’s . Will be always ordering .

As we were in the vicinity for shopping and it was lunchtime, we couldn't resist the pull of Tangoe, so we placed an online order for pickup for Crispy Bhajias, Crispy Aubergine and of course Chilli Paneer. Delivery time promised was 15 minutes and was ready when we got there! The taste as expected was excellent! I would definitely recommend Tangoe.

Lovely food and great portion sizes. The prices are also great for the food. It works out to be £10-£15 depending on what you get.

Actually only got a takeaway Good tasty food at reasonable price, always consistent with taste and quality

Tangoe Restaurant is a unique vegetarian restaurant in Leicester with varieties of Indian foods and beverages. Kind staff and very good service. Those who want to enjoy vegetarian food must visit there. A place for eating alone, with family and friends. Take away also possible.

This is a regular for us, the food is great, the service is great, the prices are good. What more can anyone want. It’s consistently good

Best food in the city. My family and I have been eating here for years.

Walk-in collect. Ordered Chill Paneer to take home. Found the food to be poor..Paneer was dehydration and hard..it was not cooked fresh..more like left overs from days before. Feeling very angry and disappointed..won't recommend gi there..😬🤮

Massive portions! Amazing service ! Mouthwatering food.... Been coming here for the past 5 years . Highly recommend .. It's very filling so I'd suggest ordering 2 dishes and no starters.. this way u will enjoy the taste and not over indulge

Best South Indian food in Leicester

Lovely food and a nice environment.

The place is clean. Overall the taste was yummy. Thanks those chefs who putting their efforts and cooking so yum. I will do repeat again.

Fantastic tasty food good menu,the food is always consistent and appetising.The staff are very friendly

Food was nice and service is good

The food is great and it has been our favourite for the real taste of South Indian food for over 15 years. I have spent 6 years in South India, so I know what authentic food tastes like. If you want authentic, then this is the place.

Best place for pure vegetarians Great and quick service

Food is tasty..customer service excellent...can't fault...hence the rating

"I wish to provide feedback regarding my dining experience at your establishment. While the presentation and serving size of the starters were commendable, I regret to note that the salt content in the paneer curries was exceptionally high. This excessive saltiness overshadowed the flavors, affecting the overall enjoyment of the meal. Regrettably, when I raised this concern while settling the bill, the response lacked the expected acknowledgment or apology. Instead, I received a casual acknowledgment without further engagement- "oh, okay". This response left me disappointed, considering the reputation your restaurant holds, notably being honoured with a recent curry award. I hope this feedback is valuable in maintaining the high standards that your establishment is known for. I trust that this isolated experience does not reflect the overall quality of your offerings and look forward to a more satisfactory dining experience in the future."

10 min to make noodles and chilli paneer ,i feel like the quality of the taste is not right anymore dont think i will be going there again also using cheap take away container flimsy,

Ordered crispy bhajia, crispy stir fried aubergines and 3 in supreme. Excellent indo Chinese food. The only criticism is that the chutney that accompanies the crispy bhajia is too little. Otherwise good service and tasty food.

I have Tangoes food about 4 times a year. Yesterday, I ordered a takeaway and unfortunately it wasn't good. I don't know what they are doing with the stir fried aubergine but it was cold and burnt (I don't know how i got that combo) but I presume it was made from previous orders that was refried 2 or 3 times, left for 30-60 minutes in a box and served to me to take home. I would have given it 1 star but they have had ok food before (and at least the masala dosa was good) Advice to others: If you order a takeaway, check the food in the restaurant if it's up to standard before you go home with it or you'll have a sad face :( 25/10/2025 update Just been to tangoes as an eat in customer. So much better. Food was fresh and no issues. I changed it from 2 star to 4 star

Food is lovely here and service is ok not the best. Place is really small but not a bad thing. Biggest bug bare is parking

a newly done up restaurant. same great food.

Best spot in Leicester for amazing food and tastiest food. From management, to food to the lead Roy. Roy is the best you can ask for in management. He went to another level to look after my guests’ and. On top of this the food was delicious. I’ll be having more get together here again and again. If you havent dined here. Come soon, you’re missing out. Big shout out to the team, ROY and the FOOD

Tangoe Restaurant is a fantastic venue, everything from the management to the food to the atmosphere is excellent. Roy the manager went out of his way to accommodate and make our get together so special’. The food was excellent and we can’t all wait to be back again soon, highly recommend this restaurant for food and party of any kind.

My favourite place in Leicester. Prices are very reasonable and more importantly the food is delicious here! The 3in1 is my go to dish all the time. A lovely evening eating a range Indo-Chinese dishes. Will be back very soon. Next week infact!!!

Food quality & quantity not great. Over all 2 ⭐

I would absolutely recommend this place ,it was Excellent food and drink and friendly customer service !

The food was amazing and the service was excellent thank you 👍

This was the first time me and my wife visited tango , we walked in and approach one of the staff who could not even bother to say hello and he showed us where to sit , at this point there was only one table occupied, we ordered our food which was a bhel , you would think you can't get that dish wrong, I have to say it was the worst bhel I have had since my ex wife made it but that's another story, my wife ordered a masala dosa, which had a bland filing, sambar very thick also bland, coconut chutney watery, red chutney was I don't know what. The dosa itself however crispy, the small saving grace, went to pay the bill , still not a word from the person who serve us , took my money and not even a polite thank you and hope you enjoyed your lunch ! Goes without saying will never visit tango again.

Excellent service food and drinks both amazing ,would definitely return again !

Family restaurant had a dhosa and golgappa was so delicious. Small but very tidy place .staff was friendly recommended

Delicious indo-chinese indian food (especially chilli paneer, tofu, aubergine and much more) service is very good and so is the reflubished place, regularly come here with family, highly recommended.

We have been visiting Tangos for many of years now, the restaurant and staff are always super helpful, very clean, the food is served super quick and their prices are very reasonable. We are always recommending to our friends and family! 100% recommend

The owners kid is to aarogant and no manners on how to speak with customers who have a concern and food quality is terrible.

I had guests come over from London and we were all vegetarians and so we decided to go to Tangoe restaurant. As soon as we entered the restaurant we was treated respectfully by the workers. We had ordered variety of food and they all tasted so delicious.Also, the prices for the food were great for the top quality food that they serve. 100% would recommend for anyone to go either by themself or as a family.

They serve good Indo-Chinese food and the best crispy aubergine in Leicester. They do serve chat, etc as well but it is not their forte. Avoid if you can. I have heard that the chef here used to work at Indigo restaurant before. So the Indo-Chinese food here is similar to Indigo but more economical and greater quantity.

Back to regular eatery to have our favourites and we were not disappointed. Chinese noodles and aubergine stir fry were exceptional. Will be back. 2023 Update. Good as always. Quick service with a smile. Food not as good. Stir fry was a charred abs salty. Dosa was thick and not normal paper thon. Will return though.

The service was vey poor. The manager was rude. After are starters the manager refused to change are plates . He just kept on banging on we had to eat in the same plates. We kindly requested him to change and give us 2 plates but refused and then said we can have one plate . We left without eating are mains. Absolutely ridiculous service . Do they not have enough plates or is it their policy. If it is then they should clearly put on the menu we do not change plates on a notice board. Ridiculous

Great place, food, and service. I had the mixed platter, which was very tasty.

Poor customer service. Server refused to provide us with fresh plates and expected us to eat mains on the same plates used for starters. When fresh plates were requested, the server responded with “this is not fine dining”, which was rude and uncalled for. We then requested for only two fresh plates instead of replacing them all which the server then responded with “I can give you only one”. Absolutely appalling, will not be returning.

Tangoe restaurant & Team thank you for the authentic taste & flavour. I visited to get take away for my family and felt so good after having supreme 3in1 combo & delicious crispy aubergine & paneer 🤩🤩🤩

For me, the best Indo Chinese in Leicester! Chilli paneer is amazing!!

The best Indian food in Leicester. I've been here so many times and the standard of quality has always been incredible. The food is fresh, the portions are large, and the taste is authentic.

Excellent, probably one of the best restaurants in Leicester. Food & service 1st class. Would recommend

The best Chilli Paneer /Shazwan Noodles and Crispy Arbagine fry in Leicester, highly recommend. Staff are super friendly (Roy) 🙂 if you ain't tried it, do so and you won't go anywhere else after 💯 and portion sizes all well worth the £.

It's very bad food I spent £20 and its rubbish food I was old customer but don't know what reason they keep food in frozen n surve E1 I told them its bad smell come but they don't care very bad manager and bad attitude Evan dint get refund

Really tasty veg food, when cooked right! Bit of a hit and miss sometime! Consistency is key! Hope they get it right next time!

Crispy aubergine was really tasty. Portions are really big so one starter is good to fill you up. Overall it was a nice outing for afternoon tea.

Tango Restaurant is great! I had the special paneer, aubergine stir fry, and cheese chilli chip with my wife. Everything was delicious and well-prepared. Highly recommend!

Great food, great price, love it, regular customer, thanks Roy

Awesome experience! Great decor the atmosphere was exceptional but the best part was the food the paneer, the fried aubergine,dosa, cauliflower, bajias, samosa and pani puri was just so flavourful ! Recommend !!!!

We've been coming to Tangoe for years. The food is good and consistent everytime! Roy (front of house) is friendly and helpful! Thank Roy and Tangoe!

Our food came within 10 minutes so obviously it was heated up in the microwave, however it tasted okay. The waiter taking our order needs lessons on customer service he wasn't ,cheerful and welcoming otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Been going there from 2008 and still go there, I only order items from the indo menu and I like how they cook the food

Food tasted very good with a nice variety on the menu. Great service from the staff and very friendly.

i have been coming here since i was a kid, and honestly the best indo-chinese food I've ever had! I have been many places in the world to see if anyone could match Tangoe regarding taste and not a chance. Please support this business. If in doubt, because of negative reviews, feel free to go to the restuarant and see for yourself how many orders they have and fulfil, with the quality of food still being top-notch!

Chilli Paneer and Manchurian was OK. Dosa was undercooked and had to ask for another which, again was undercooked so ended up not eating it. They also did not have all the chutneys so just gave 3 tubs of coconut chutney instead!! If you have something on the menu, then it should be available!! Bit of hit and miss.

Excellent service and variety of food! Enjoy it very much and I always purchase my food from Tangoe when I travel to Leicester from London.

Excellent food 😋 and service 😋 specially that chilli 🌶 paneer And aubergine stir fry mouth watering yummy 😋

Great food at a very reasonable price. Good atmosphere.

If you love Indian cuisine, Tangoe restaurant is a must-visit in Leicester. I have been doing take away food and dinning in for years. The dishes are flavour some. Their Paneer masala dosa is full of flavor, and the Aubergine stir fry is best ever . The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is friendly and attentive. Overall, Tangoe restaurant is a great choice for a tasty and enjoyable dining experience.

Edit: if it's a fake review please report it to google. They will remove it. You getting negatives because your service is poor. Try to understand that and improve rather than telling all negative reviews are fake Can't believe the owners of this restaurant are not reading the reviews. Everyone is complaining about the service, doing nothing to improve it. I also had a pretty bad experience at this restaurant last week I doubt the owner itself is the guy serving.

We had a great night. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. Definitely one to visit again.

Good food and vibes highly recommended for quality vegetarian food in leicester. Fine South Indian and indonchinese.

The guy just threw the menu to our table and from there it was all a bad experience

Amazing food, good customer services. Definitely will be coming back :)

Recommended dishes . Crispy bhajia and special Paneer.

Very nice fast service , the quality and quantity of food was just right ✅️

Nice place for indo-chinese food. The quality and taste of the food has changed over the years. Standards have dropped from what is was.

Tangoe has become an institution in Leicester; chili paneer like no other (bar one...) The restaurant had a major refurb last year and it looks classy and cosy inside now, a decent place to enjoy your indo-chinese and South Indian food. The portions are always huge, the prices are always reasonable and the service is always super quick. Compare Tangoe to the other similar restaurant and for me Tangoe comes up the clear winner every time. I'd recommend all the different paneer dishes, the crispy aubergine, the noodles (all varieties) and the crispy bhajia. If you're looking for an eat-in or a takeaway, you can't go wrong with Tangoe.

Had my 1st try at aubergine stirfy just brilliant waiting to go for more options this week

Chilli mushrooms are the best badboy place.

Nice little place serving a variety of tasty chat-pati Indian Street food. Portion size is good and the prices are decent.

Great service, and excellent portion sizes... Definitely recommended for quick takeaway food , when you have family gatherings!!

Consistently good food. Never disappointed here. One of the best veg restaurants in Leicester.

Nice place, been refurbished since I last visited. Tasty food and great service!

Love the food. Great service. Location was in the perfect area. Also the foods quality was perfect. Employees always smiling. I will come back this restaurant. Thanks to all employees and chefs.

I have not tried many dishes from here but few of this dishes you will probably never disappoint: 3in1 (Combo of Paneer, Mashroom and Mogo - you can replace mashroom with Potatoes if preferred) - ASK them to make it crispy to cook them well, it will be dry cook but won’t be soggy if you are taking it away. They cook with Green Chilli (very spicy), lettuce and green peppers and some seasoning along with dark soya Sauce I have also tried chilli Tofu and Chilli Paneer and Chilli mashroom. I have also tried their Crispy Bhajiya - But never take away. Always eaten in-store. All above dishes been regular on my order almost every week from past 7-8 years. Just have to make sure I tell them to make it Crispy. Must admit: they need to improve custom services. Roy is best at service and talking with customers, he knows most of his regular customers, Others needs a bit training. Customer services is a key for every business.

Would give a 0 if I could. Ordered online and specifically asked for our food to be ready at 7.35pm for a party. My husband went to collect at the agreed time and the food was cold! He was informed it had been prepared early and just left sitting on the side! Pathetic!

I have been to this restaurant a couple of times. Food is a bit hit and miss...some dishes are fine, others are not so great...South Indian food is not up to the mark...Indo Chinese is not too bad. However, the service is consistent - consistently bad! There is a bald guy who was there on both occasions I visited and he was terribly rude and unhelpful. I don't think I will be visiting this place in a hurry.

Disgusting service, food has gone downhill and the service is shocking. Bland, tasteless, burnt/overcooked cold food given and the prices are not worth the dish!! There's far better places in Leicester for indo Chinese! Wouldn't recommend Tangoes anymore

Vegetarian restaurant..Yummy food.. Great service. Portions are really big too especially when u eat in. Definitely recommend

Overly salty & tasteless food! Better places around Belgrave Road won’t be going here again.

Absolutely disappointed! Placed my order online, received a confirmation email to say the order will be ready in half an hour, only to find out they had rejected the order once I got there. They had no courtesy to call or send an email to say they have cancelled our order. The cancellation was all due to them not serving naan even though this was an option on the menu. They didn’t seem bothered when I wasn’t happy the order was not ready. The girl at the desk is clueless and definitely has no customer service skills. They then told me they can make the order. Which I then asked the lady to ring me when the food is done so I can wait in the car because it was getting busy in there. She turned around and said she can’t and does not have time. Within 2 minutes the man came out with the bags and told me they are giving me other peoples food to prevent a delay. This could have been food that was just sat there or left overs. I had already paid online but they demanded me to make another payment as they couldn’t see the payment go through but I had proof it did. I told them I no longer want to take the order. The guy turned around and said to me “should’ve just said you didn’t want it! Anyway bye I don’t have time” The customer service was shocking and would not recommend this place at all. They have no manners and do not care about customers. On a previous occasion they had missed a dish from my order and did not arrange no delivery or even a refund.

Amazing food, nice big portions and very good prices.

Never go there worst experience of service I asked for water and he didn't give me for 5 min. I thought he might have forgotten... So I remind him again he said I remembered giving u in a min .. and finally gave me after 3 min he was doing nothing important he was totally free .. the food was spicy so I want water in urgent but I think he was thinking that I order a cold drink there... It's very shameless.....

Very nice stir fried aubergine and chilli paneer.

I wish I had read the reviews before walking into this place. Overall upon walking into the restaurant it is a cosy clean little place. Very reasonably priced however it is true what they say you get what you pay for. I don’t really tend to like very spicy food and prefer flavoursome food over heat and spice, this place had neither. The spring rolls were bland and what seemed like it was just flavoured with a little cumin. The paneer was diabolical the sauce was not cooked out and it still had a raw tomato flavour lingering which doesn’t surprise me as the food was served within 5 minutes of ordering. Also how can Asians get a naan bread wrong? The were so tough I could have used them to play frisbee with my dog. Never would I recommend this place or return here again.

We had visited place with family, place is well decorated and cozy however menu is limited. Staff is not cooperative at all and does not make adjustment to customer needs. Portion is certainly big but tasteless.

They've recently done a refurb and it's become very cosy to sit in now. The food is just as good as before if not better! There portions are the best in town. We have become regulars. Thank you Tangoes

Service was very poor, haha noodles was served cold, place was very congested

good chilli paneer and shanghai mogo not bad restaurant at all

I don’t know if you have changed your chef but the paneer was awful. I alway get chilli paneer this time the taste was horrible it all went in the bin. Normally the consistency in the food is good this time it was completely different was required disappointing

Excellent Service. Food is amazing! I recommend the Aubergine Stir Fry

Really good place I had to tell food was awesome and taste was so good and the staff was very kind and humble 😊 Personal recommendation paneer butter masala with chilli naan u will love it
