The Foxes Den in Blaby

This is a bistro, however recently, the restaurant has started to have themed months, which I think doesn’t work particularly well if the chef lacks experience in a cuisine. September was “Indian” month, which is brave considering there is a very good Indian restaurant in the nearby village Unfortunately, the food at Foxes den lacked any real authenticity. The menu served only mild curries. The biriyani came with a side of rice which was odd. The tandoori chicken was burnt to a crisp but we were informed it was supposed to be like this.. it was black and dry. The chicken in the tikka masala wasn’t marinated, so it was plain chicken on top of a sauce which lacked any flavour. The Bombay potatoes were boiled on the skin potatoes in a thin watery sauce, and the garlic naan was a flat bread. The chips were however, amazing. The best chips I’ve ever had. In light of this, I just feel that it should retain its bistro menu and stop trying to offer food that is clearly not a speciality of the chef. Would not recommend Indian night, but the set a la carte I would

Had a wonderful Indian takeaway tonight.The food is always amazing and our Indian was so delicious and tasty.Well done

Each month they change the theme of the menu, August was Spanish menu. Food was nice the restaurant was fully booked for the evening which did mean they struggled with the service. We ordered a glass of wine to come with our mains and they arrived once we had finished which was a shame. Overall the food was good and the drinks were very nice. I would return and would recommend..
