The Broadway Bar & Grill in Leicester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Good food, good place for a quick bite. 😋

Visited on 28/08/24 - first visit after considering the reviews and recommendation from family. its won several awards so I went along to see what this was really like. Reservations are recommended - not sure why but I will come to that. Arrived with my children. we could not be seated in the main restaurant because they were booked (we arrived at 6.30pm ish) - we were escorted to the Bar area, a table cleaned and we were seated Bar area serves beers / pre-mixed cocktails (not my thing) and a food counter area Ordered Starters Chicken Wings - they were enjoyed by my children. Tasted well and looked fresh Lamb kebab - arrived on a hot sizzling plate. Spiced and withs some flavour. the meat was hard and rubbery. Chicken Tikka - arrived on a hot sizzling plate. mediocre at best. The chicken was pre-cooked and they re-heated and tossed in onions and flavours - I think this is something most restaurants practice. Sadly the chicken was poor - it was hard (I conveyed this to our server) There was little taste but disappointingly it was hard and was NOT fresh. I know what fresh chicken tastes like. you know when the chicken is not fresh when the marinade from the first cook starts to seep into pre-cooked chicken - so I would not order the chicken again - was a waste of time and like I said it was hard, not fresh and needed more flavour. this has been echoed by friends who visited and ordered the same chicken. Mains Butter chicken was enjoyed by children but it had way too much sugar - way too much sugar ! we took the balance home but it ended up in the bin - it was just too sweet -Butter chicken is not meant to be sweet. Garlic chilli Paneer - was enjoyed and does come recommended. Naan - were amazing, freshly cooked and were highly rated by my children. Overall The chicken tikka is not fresh - I dont care what anyone says. and I would not order this the Lamb Kebab was hard and I cant see this being fresh either. I think was cooked and warned up - and like I said it was not soft - was hard and rubbery Butter Chicken - way too sweet Service from Yash was great. I fail to see how such food could be worthy of awards. I wont be going back.

Lovely food, lovely staff would definitely recommend :)

The best Indian in Leicester. Worth a visit!!

Good food just staff was bit awkward and slow

The food is amazing, probably the best in Leicester (at this time).

Excellent food, but slightly cramps sitting positions.

Tasty Tandoori Fish Sizzler and Chicken Tikka Masala. Loved it.

First time ordering for delivery.. not disappointed 🤩🤩🤩 first class .. easy to order, great and prompt delivery by a lovely delivery person. Food very tasty and authentic, lots of flavour, good portion size too .. the naan breads were the old style proper naan breads yum 😋 none of your thin flimsy ones really great

Decent eatery in a pub. Parking isn’t the best.

Absolutely delicious food. The paneer noodles were especially tasty. Everything was very reasonably priced, and portions were large.

It was not bad, the paneer was really hard though, not soft at all.

Ordered takeaway on Saturday, ended up with bad food poisoning since. Wondering if anyone else has had the same issue?

This was my first visit after a long time (5 years). I must say the food has improved significantly since then, especially the mains offering. The service is rather slow though, and they did give us the wrong food twice, although both occasions were rectified quickly. Drinks are price very well here, which will not leave a hole in your pocket.

Nice placed tucked away in Leicester, the food was great overall (bit too much oil on the sizzlers for my liking, but taste was good) friendly staff and good vibes.

Perfect but not much of an atmosphere when football is on.

Easy to drive straight past and not know it's there but wow what a great little Indian restaurant/ bar, the food was an easy 10 the service was great too so would highly recommend

Really tasty food, very good service! Definitely recommend. The portions are great too.

Lovely food and good selection of beers. Service was prompt - what else can you ask for.

1st visit to Broadway as hear heard great reviews!50 mile round trip but worth it. Place wax really busy for our 7.30pm table on a Tuesday night. Menu wad extensive so was drinks choices.They have full Molson Coors Range on Including Cobra Draught. Started with Aubergine 🍆 Sizzler and mini Samosas, both were lovely right amount of spice on Aubergines. Mains we had,Tandoori Fish Sizzler,mixed grill in Kadai (lovely in a lovely curry sauce).Dhaba Lamb pilau rice Tandoori Roti & Peshwari Nan. We shared the dishes between two snd their was plenty! All washed down with coors light and Cobra.Lovely food will definitely be returning.

First time had food here the food not feel fresh and the staff service from Dev was very bad. atmosphere was nice and love all the screens makes it feel like a sports bar.

The worst food ever had. Used to be really good and a large group of us were regulars here none of us will be going back here and we are informing all our friends and family NOT to go here. The customer service here is terrible and the food quality is very disappointing and disgusting. Tried to inform the staff about the poor quality food we had received and they replied we can’t do anything.

I would like to award Broadway with the worlds driest biriyani. this is the first restaurant I have ever encountered that don't supply any proper sauce with a biri. They do supply Raita, should you wish to have yogurty rice.... Dish contained so many cardamom pods / anise that I was constantly picking them out. Chicken was acceptance, but also very dry. I had phoned up beforehand but assured their biriyani is not dry and not to worry. Woke up this morning with stomach ache. Only positive was the portion was massive.

GREAT PLACE TO EAT, BRILLIANT STAFF, FANTASTIC

We had table booked Friday evening. Found little noisy. We had to shout at each other. All food we ordered was amazing

First time visit today, I certainly wasn't disappointed the food was delicious.

I ordered a medium madras to take away and a garlic chicken. Which my wife enjoyed, but the madras was full on and I'm not able to eat really hot ones any more. I had to put some yogurt in it to calm it down a bit. It was nice flavour, but way hotter than I asked for. I will be going back.

Lovely food, great service - definitely recommend this place if you are in Leicester !

Being in Leicester after a long time, was recommended this Bar & Grill Indian by a local. Was pleasantly surprised. Quality food with good variety & good service by all staff. Overall enjoyed the food & good atmosphere.

Went with work friends, the food was great, service was excellent and very quick, we all had a great night. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend if you want a good night out.

My husband and I went there for the first time today. We dined in the restaurant where the food was delicious. The curries were good & for once, not tailored to more delicate/milder tastes. The service was good. All staff were friendly, relaxed and welcoming. We will definitely return and consider ordering on-line. The best grill/curry in a restaurant we’ve had in a long time.

You can only order food online. They do not take order over the phone but if someone don’t know how to order online that mean that person can’t have there food? I ordered at 8.00pm approximately delivery time was 10.00pm so I called and said I am coming to collect my food. Food was very sweet even after telling them to make it medium spicy. I wasted my money. Next day I got diarrhoea too. I wouldn’t be going there again.I wouldn’t even give one star.

A proper back room of a pub curry house ! First visit and wont be the last. There is limited parking and you will need to book as they were turning people away, even on a Wednesday night. The menu is a good selection of your typical curry house dishes and was delivered to us, as expected and well spiced. You can ask for dishes to be hotter if required but we found it to be just right straight off the menu. The rice was a good size but I wouldn’t say it was a sharing size. Definitively one for the list if you are visiting Leicester and after a good curry !

Was one of the best indian in Leicester for chicken. Chicken lollipop is top but this place cannot cook lamb. The sizzler is okay. That lollipop sauce is used on chilli panner crispy mushrooms very repetitive. Lamb curries are poor

Great pub and great food, large boneless sizzler and chilli cheese chips.

Food excellent . Definitely visit again c

Great food, great service, great price, Great atmosphere, 5 stars all the way

Good, we had reserved a table for 5 for 5pm and were quickly seated, and asked what drinks we wanted. Atmosphere was lively due to FA Cup semi final and Manchester United match on TV. We are are footie fans so we're enjoying the atmosphere. Ordered the main sizzler, fish pakora and chilli paneer the starters were excellent paneer and fish especially. The sizzler was very decent. The garlic naan and plain naan were lovely The ordinary and why I gave 3 stars for food. The curries Lamb Dhaba and Chilli Garlic Chicken were very under whelming to say the least. The chicken wasn't tender at all cooked separately to gravy than added in my opinion. The lamb wasn't very tender at all you could say some chunks were quite chewy which my cousin refused to eat. The place in my opinion perfect to watch sports and have your bar food ie kebabs, pakoras etc but definitely not a curry

We usually have a take out....excellent every time....,£38 good meal for 4 if not 5.

The food here is amazing, I always order from here and I go and pick it up just ring the place and the food is ready instantly. Compliment to the chef who cooks such great food. Had a lovely meal today on a Friday evening vey good can’t fault this place. I think in my opinion is the best in Leicester.

The food is excellent but the service is not good

Amazing food great atmosphere but the venue is a bit dated but the food can't complain

Had a great time at The Broadway! Portions are large and the food is cooked fresh. Service was also great here too. Had a lovely time and will be back again or ordering a takeaway from here again soon

Reply to the owner - if it’s a busy holiday period surely you would prepare for it? Why was the order accepted? When we rang multiple times you said it was already out for delivery but we were still waiting over an hour, then we eventually told you to cancel it.. the person we spoke to on the phone wasn’t bothered even though we were being polite considering the wait time.. If only the delivery time was as quick as your reply times and yes I enjoyed my food from another place thanks Had to wait over 2 hours for the food delivery and still had not come so I called up to cancel. If they knew they were this busy they could have let us know when we rang up to make the order

Went on Friday afternoon. Food is very nice, pricing about as expected. Recommend the sizzler!

The Lunch @ The Broadway An enjoyable mid-day tasty interval with some delicious vegetarian treats. We wouldn't hesitate to go again.

First time trying this restaurant and was impressed

Average place, parking is terrible here

A great eatery. A bit small, but the food is amazing. Well worth a visit. The Lamb Dabha was our go to dish. The naan and rice are particularly noteworthy.

Hmm typical pub with Indian food, seezlers, tandoori dishes, large selection, busy place Good value for money

Very friendly and attentive staff, delicious food - I went on a Monday night and the place was still busy. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Travel Manchester just for a mixy! Honestly the best!

Food yummmmm...service fast n efficient....ambience was fine....loved dhaba chicken,naans,sizzlers....free car park...drinks nice...no complaints at all...would suggest chef to use less food colour in their green and red table sauces and in the food. They do cater and have awareness for gluten free diet.

Cracking pub Restaurant we eat near the bar but noted a nice dining Restaurant next door menu was straight forward and food was lovely and great value ..Will go again and try one of the 'Sizzlers' Top place

Looks very run down. However, didn't eat the food. They only serve inhumanely slaughtered halal as cheap imported meat as no animal welfare required. Wouldn't recommend this meat or place, even the RSPCA are trying to get it banned.

They placed my family and friends in a separate room. Food and service was excellent. A friendly team.

Our first experience at 'The Broadway' was great. Friendly staff who escorted us to our table. Delicious food as per our taste. Staff made sure we were well served. Had a nice and quiet afternoon meal. Highly recommended.

In this area of Leicester for work & found this great pub. I haven't tried the food, but the beer is spot on & the atmosphere is excellent. Very welcoming.

An absolute gem ! Great food with authentic Indian flavours and more importantly good portion sizes! Can't wait to go here again!

Beautiful cuisine yesterday and great service to add 😀

Graduation celebration for my daughter food as always was amazing staff likewise highly recommended

Food is amazing. Huge portions such great value for money. Highly recommend 👌

Great Indian food in a pub. Beware, the starter portions are huge and lovely. You won't leave hungry.

The broadway is my go to for quality Indian cuisine. Always amazing flavours and good portion sizes. Can get very busy at weekends so advise that you book in advance

The sizzler I ordered was brilliant

Had a take away asked for a large boneless mixed grill all we got was cubes of chicken and lamb kofta very disappointed Most mixed grills hv Green chicken Chicken tikka Lamb Fish Onions Price was very expensive for what we had

Great food, great service, well recommended!

Delicious food with excellent service.

Looks can be deceiving, it's a proper old school boozer out front with lots of colourful friendly characters at the bar. Out back is a very simple but welcoming restaurant that was showing various sports games from around the world. Lots of friendly welcoming staff on hand. The menu has a good spread of the classics and some home specials We were a group of 6, we ordered 3 large mixed grill sizzler platters, 1 salt n pepper fish sizzler and an aubergine dish. Well let's just say we didn't need a main course! The food was fantastic, the quantity and quality were spot on, as was the price and the service was brilliant, always on hand to keep the beers flowing. All in all it was a great evening out.

I'm a local business man who use these guys 2 times a week . These guys are level 6 🌟 . Million respect from mma garden services x

Only went at lunch was very quiet. Mixed grill chicken was good but was not too keen on the kebabs. Chicken dabha was very tasty. Service was great. Very friendly people and welcoming staff. Will visit again to try some of the more popular dishes.

What can I say apart from wow wow wow wow wow

Very nice food and service definitely recommend this place

Worst delivery service waiting for 2hour and more

Really love this place. The landlord always looks after our group. Waiters interact with children, which shows caring, which is genuine. Nice food too!

Loved the food. Service was great, drinks reasonably priced. We will be returning!

My partner and I ordered some mixed grill platters from Broadway for our engagement party last weekend - the food was delicious and we recieved so many compliments. Would highly recommend

Amazing food, would go back as soon as I'm not feeling full 10/10

All ways people ciking off out side

My food was very nice could of done with a bit more spice

Decent food, good price for drinks and food. Service is quick, not a very quiet place

Loved the ambience.. Was so lively and electrifying! Make sure you have reservation before you visit as it could be busy on a weekday as well.. Must try - sizzlers, Dhaba chicken.

This place is a must if you are a curry lover. They have curry awards, and it shows!! We went in on a Monday and a Tuesday, and it was packed. The Guinness is fabulous a strong 9.4 /10. The service is fantastic. I prefer to eat in the bar rather than the restaurant but that's just my preference. All dishes are fabulous and tasty, and they are great at recommendations. The portions are huge, we ordered 1 rice and 2 mains and took over half back with us! We will be back Great VFM

Delicious food, generous portions and great service - would definitely come here again!

Good food good prices chilled vibe

Would have given 5* but for the fact they were out of spicy poppadoms, and two beers (Doom Bar and Aspull Cider) on the night we visited. Curry itself was well spiced and excellent quality.

Indian restaurants/bars in Leicester are ubiquitous and so I happy to find a place that stands out from the crowd. I came here for a family night out and absolutely loved it! Portions are massive, we ordered a plethora of curries and starters - a special mention to the king prawn tawa - unreal flavour! Great service from all the staff (brought us drinks to our table)…obviously being a converted pub with a more restaurant feel dining area at the back it could do with a bit of a facelift but very, very nice food and welcoming & attentive service. Only slight issue is parking outside can be difficult but would definitely return!

Lamb curry taws extra green chilli, butter chicken and garlic chilli chicken. 5 naans 5 people good portions with all the accompaniments we couldn’t finish it. Was super tasty been plenty of times always consistent taste. 🙌🏼 No picture to post as we couldn’t wait to tuck in!!!

Lovely pub to grab a few with friends or family and if you haven't tried the food, then you are missing out. I have to say it is one of the best places to get curries in Leicester. The chilli paneer is my favourite starter. Get down and try this food. You won't be disappointed

Had a delivery chips like rubber NaNn bread stone cold and popadoms were stale ordered from here loads of times totally let down this time

Service was just about ok. A couple of waiters were great but others looked a bit fed up and would rather have not been there. Three different mains came but all had the same very strange red coloured base sauce on them even the keema. The food just didn't taste right. After the food we took our drinks through to the bar and hoped to chill out for a bit. However the atmosphere in the bar was tense and there must be problems there because bouncers were constantly patrolling the area and were eventually needed to eject a couple of drunks before a scuffle broke out. All of that before I could finish my pint. So all in all it wasn't a great experience. I will be returning to my usual favourite Indian restaurants and bars along melton Road and rushey meade from now on. I hope they turn it around though because the more the merrier but there's a long way to go.

Can’t complain with the food, quality and price

Delivery….food delivered earlier than asked for but luckily we were home. Absolutely outstanding meal will definitely be ordering again and this is our first takeaway after sitting in the restaurant. Like ok after you’re chef!!

Awesome food. Fantastic Atmosphere.

Went there for my son's birthday. Lovely delicious food and good service.

Spot on place Great curry and lovely drinks

The curry’s the tawa is just divine… the portions are insane for the price! I’ve never had crispy aubergine stir fry before but it’s my favourite thing I’ve ever eaten. It’s a very unassuming restaurant and not in the best location but that’s what I like about it… it’s a hidden gem… if it was on Melton Road it would be impossible to get a booking.

Excellent food I can't fault it and the portions are huge. Service is a tad slow and difficult at times with communication but the staff were friendly. Parking is difficult and it is too loud in there you can't hear people when talking

As usual absolutely fantastic and I tried a new curry dish nom Nom

The best Indian pub food in Leicester. Crispy aubergine, Tawa prawns and chilli paneer and butter chicken are super tasty!! Highly recommend
