The passage to India in Charnwood

had a delivery last night it was amazing 10/10 i will be ordering again :)

Ordered for 9 people. A meal for 1 turned up after 2 hours of waiting. Staff rude and unapologetic. Will not order from here again.

Don't get deliveries from here. Awful!! Over 2 hours I waited for food to arrive. Snd man on the phone wasn't apologetic at all.

Always served stunning food. A treat with family or friends.

We have used Passage both for eat in and take outs for over 10 years, always been excellent, never had a bad meal. We did hear a few people say thats its not good anymore, but we decided (based on our previous good experiences) to give it go and have a take out. Mistake!!! food was very bland, Chicken was overcooked, ropey salad, generally not the best and far from our past experiences.

Always fantastic food and service.

The food was absolutely delicious. Service prompt. Drinks a tad pricey, though.

Tasty food…. Good size portions, promptly delivery and a little extra in the bag!

Gave this place a few chances again recently ,Never again… Very basic.. Dry chicken that like it’s been reheated, Tasteless bland food, as someone previously said in comments it’s like a tesco ready meal! Nan bread very dry too. If you like propper food don’t eat here, far nicer indian takeaways around..

I’ve been here several times plus had takeaways. In the restaurant, the service and food is pretty okay. When dining there absolutely avoid the wine, I had white and rosé. It tastes as though it’s been sat for quite some time and I think it was £6 something a glass. Don’t bother, waste of money and no quality to it at all. I do appreciate it’s an Indian and not the Savoy, but it was bad. The take out food recently was the last time we’ll order front here now. Again sat on the throne several times and it’s just not worth it despite it tasting quite nice.

Went to this place has we a few friends who Pick a restaurant to go once a month this was a buffet meal the various starters were warm and not a great choice the curries were all cold to warm lamb jalfrezi didn’t even taste of anything the whole experience was very disappointing to say the least plus just to finish the night off drinks ridiculously overpriced

Had a big party here, staff struggled with orders and some food was brill were others were poor, Staff cleaning tables whilst still chatting and spilling food on people, struggled to understand what we was complaining about, Butter chicken was a korma for all 5 orders, the chicken was nice but the sauce bland. Prawns were so tough couldn't cut the let alone eat them and the chips was greasy and no potatoe in them. They removed some items off the bill for bad food but that's not on as some of the guests left full and others empty. Over all not a good experience and doubt will be going there again

The food was terrible. Staff are rude and wiping tables when not even left while finishing drinks. Waste food crumbs ended up on a friends trousers, and the staff just laughed. They refunded starter that was inedible. The butter chicken was a korma. The chips were pure grease and stale like they had been reheated in the fryer.

Average Indian food, got a takeaway for five people, my meat dish was only lukewarm, they forgot to put in a Keema naan and the naan bread that was included was very stodgy. Don’t think I will go there again.

Went here for a birthday meal as a large group, the staff were so friendly and attentive. Food was incredible, best Indian food I’ve eaten. The meat in my starter was a bit tough (seemed it was reheated) would 100% return

Take away Worst meal ive had for a long time Wishy washy flavour Dried out chicken Mommy rice Naan was ok That was about all I eat from a lot of places but this was £25 wasted. No flavour

A group of 4 of us decided to try the restaurant last Saturday, which after reading some of the reviews we did with some trepidation. However we need not have worried. We were seated at our pre booked table almost immediately and drinks orders were brought within a couple of minutes. Food orders were also taken quickly despite the restaurant being full and again arrived within a matter of minutes. The food was hot, tasty and generous in portion size and the table was checked on regularly by the waiting staff to check all was in order. We were also provided with complementary drinks at the end of the meal and the bill paying was very efficient. All in all an excellent experience and we will be back.

Amazing food, great staff and very busy. My Daughters favourite restaurant so far. We enjoyed it to it's one of my favourite's too. Thank you for a great meal.

Last time I went it was for my birthday and it was so nice the staff are so friendly and kind and considerate and the food is so Delicious That place was the first place where I tried Indian food and still to this day is the nicest Indian cuisine I have ever been to in my entire life

great food - bit spicy but good - authentic Good value buffet on a Tue staff a bit loud but attentive toilets clean warm yes would go again

Was excellent food but gone down hill in the last few months. The chips should be avoided at all cost. My original review was a 5 star, unfortunately I will not be ordering again.

What a terrible place. The staff take your money but never deliver the food. When I tried to ask for a refund I was told that I couldn’t have one and then I was ridiculed for being a woman daring to ask a man for a refund. Shocking service DO NOT ORDER YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF

We live in the village and stopped using this restaurant because it had gone downhill, but tonight we decided to give it another go, big mistake! It was bland, cold and generally what I can only describe as a vile experience. The Bhuna was tasteless, the saagwala was bland and watery, the naan breads were cold and really burnt, even the rice had no taste. Extremely disappointing, considering the price. Don’t waste your time or money here.

The absolute best Indian restaurant, we love it, the food is excellent, the staff are really friendly. Highly recommend

Shockingly bad!! I did not brought the food but a dear friend got take away from here. Firstly, it’s Bangladeshi chefs cooking Indian food so it’s misleading when they named themselves “ Passage to India”. They got the order wrong but all the dishes we got, chicken korma, paneer curry was overloaded with sugar. It tasted so sweet that you wouldn’t require dessert. Anyone who is diabetic will surely pass out eating the curries. Also, lots of artificial colour used. It’s looked pathetic. The catch is if the curries have colour and taste to sweet, it’s not Indian food but prepared by unskilled chefs and is Bangladeshi food. All the good reviews here looks like they are paid as I fail to believe that people could have such bad taste. Do your self a favour! Avoid this place, shell out a little more and go somewhere authentic Indian or may be buy curries from supermarket if you run out of options. I will be committing unforgivable sin if I recommend this to anyone.

Really poor service over 2 hours wait for main course. Then they tried to over charge us for the meal. Bye a massive £100 pounds absolutely disgusting error. Manager was apauling. I will never step foot in that place again.

The worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. Food is average at best. Service is abysmal, would’ve done better at a transport cafe. They are unbelievably rude to customers even when you’re trying to pay them. I would not recommend this place at all. Spend your well earned money elsewhere.

First time takeaway delivery. Not the best how do you forget to put the Nan bread in not impressed. Eat at the restaurant loads of times and it's lovely.

Always so polite and the service is brilliant. Best Chicken Rogan Josh around . You can tell these guys really take pride in the food.

So far waiting 1 hour for 1 chicken tikka they did bring 1 popadom so far, waste of time stay away update you when I eventually will get the food

For years we've been buying one vegetarian thali meal as a takeaway option. There is enough for two adults, including poppadoms and chutney, naan,rice, dal along with the thali. They always provide 2 bhajis or 2 samosas. It's fairly random which you get and as we prefer bhajis, we specifically ask for those. There is so much that we never manage to quite eat it all. It's not as spicy as it once was and is now very mild but still worth buying as a cheap and filling takeaway for two.

Booked for 7 o’clock they said they never had a booking till 8 ? Accommodated us but didn’t take a food order till nearly 8 o’clock and waited over an hour for food to arrive and wasn’t even hot? Waiter was rude if you can’t cater for groups don’t take bookings! Arrived there at 7 and no food came out till after 9 lots of other people came in and got served ahead of us.. so to sum up service was very poor staff were rude and food practically cold won’t be going back

The meal was a lovely start as we are really good

I'm vegan and can't eat dairy as lactose intolerant. I am certain they used ghee when I explicitly requested a vegan meal. Later I was left with stomach cramps so I am confident this was because of the dairy/ghee. Won't be going back and won't be recommending.

Fantastic food and service highly recommend

Takeaway Absolutely appalling 😡😡. Dispite ordering our food 2 hours in advance (5:30pm) for delivery at 7:30pm, it wasn't delivered until 9pm. We phoned a number of times & told it was on the way (obviously not). Certainly won't be using this place again 😡😡

Very possibly the worst Indian restaurant I have ever visited! As authentic as an Indian ready meal from tescos! One of our group booked as a casual get together with some friends an it went from bad to worse. Starters came out warm, not hot and bland, curries lacked any flavour even lacked salt just seemed loaded with sugar. Absolutely terrible

Good food, generous portions, excellent service. Not being familiar with the area we didn't find parking easy. Table was booked online for 6:30 on a Sunday evening, restaurant was quiet with a table of 8 just leaving, we were expected. Friendly staff, tasy food, very enjoyable.

I go to the Passage about 6 to 8 times a year something I have done for a number of years. I have never had a bad meal or bad service in that time. This week I went with wifey for Banquet Night , we had Papadoms, starter, main course with Pilay and also Ice cream for £16.95, we did spend a little more as we had a couple of drinks each plus extra papadoms and 2 Chapatti's. The restaurant and toilets are always spotless, in fact the restaurant has had a refit with new chairs etc I have never been disappointed with The Passage to India, and for me it is 10/10..

Excellent takeaway from here tonight.The lamb tikka was brilliant. Used these for a long time now, but tonight's was up a level. Well done👏

Food was ok but full of food colouring and sweetners. Not authentic Indian food.

Spotlessly clean and welcoming restaurant. Good choice of dishes. Excellent recommendations from the staff too. Just tell them what you like and how hot and look at their suggestions

My husband and I took my mother for dinner. What incredible food. The best curry I’ve ever had. I had Tawa fantastic full-flavoured

Always a warm welcome, excellent menu choice, superb food and attentive service. My partner particularly loves their Lamb Naga. Well done to Farhaan and the Team !!

Went for a curry last week after having a leaflet through the door. Leaflet says the main dishes were £6.50 but we were charged £11.50. Checked with the website, it also says £6.50. Why do this? The food was fantastic, though.

This Indian Restaurant is so good. The staff are always so attentive and nothing too much trouble . we had a large party and the meals were spot on. We've celebrated two special birthdays here and would recommend it. They even provided foil dishes to take the curry etc home. I've used them as a takeaway as well and have no issues at all. Same service .

Great food. Special biryani was perfect. Lamb soft and tasty, chicken was perfect and beautiful prawns.

Simply the best curry I've ever had! I had takeaway and the portions are extremely generous. Onion bhajis unlike any I've had before simply devine. My new favorite place to eat

As always a lovely meal and good service xxx

Really good food, the service was excellent, a family friendly place and we'll definitely go back again.

Nice food, good range of dishes which are tasty . Some nice vegetarian options and options to make it less or more spicy!

Prawns tasty and wonderfully presented with three sauces available. Top quality lamb chops. Never had them so tender. Waiters friendly and helpful.

This spot was great for a casual night out. We went at 9.00pm with no booking and the staff was welcoming. We got our prawns starters shortly on a beautiful dish with a selection of sauces. Top quality chops: the best in my life! Delicious and tender! I'll be back!

Food quality was poor the prawns tasted gone off presentation was poor

Superb as usual. Excellent food. Excellent service.

Fantastic food at a great price!

We ordered from here not long back and it was okay. The food wasn’t overly flavourful, and it was just a ‘standard’ Indian — in fact, perhaps more on the bland side. The staff were okay, not too friendly, and the price was way off for the taste and quality of the meal. I probably wouldn’t order from here again and would more than definitely order takeaway from the spot around the corner. There is parking across the street through an alley which is convenient.

Dined with 3 friends & all enjoyed the food. A favourite Indian restaurant of mine but weekends are very busy. Weekdays less busy so a better level of attention & service. Food is of a high standard so worth the wait.

Fabulous food. Excellent service

Booked a table for 7.30 when we arrived there was 25+ people waiting. We didn’t get seated till 8.30. starters arrived at 9.10 and it was one of the greasiest Chicken Tikka Masala’s I have ever eaten. My main was King Prawn Sagwala which didn’t look like prawns but some kind of connective tissue!! It was absolutely disgusting. I complained and the waiter brought out a Chicken Tikka Masala, this arrived at 10.10 and by this time I had gone off the idea. My friends lamb was burnt and inedible, her starter was received cold. I will definitely not be returning to this restaurant. The restaurant was full to capacity and they were more interested in the customers who were collecting their orders. A terrible experience ! x

First and last time table booked for 630 never got starters to gone 730 and they was only warm then a 40mins wait after them for are main courses which was so so

First time visiting on the recommendation from friends . A table for 4 booked for 7.30 , we eventually got seated at 8.15 after they allowed people arriving after us to jump the queue. The waiter immediately asked us to order even though one of our party was in the toilet and hadn't even sat down. We eventually got our starters at around 9.15 pm - 2 of which were undercooked and cold (fish pakura) and sent back. Main course of lamb shashlick was burnt , dry and pretty inedible. Concessions were made on the bill but the whole experience was pretty shambolic.

Lamb Naga & garlic chilli chicken were 5 star restaurant standard in a takeaway box. Simply perfect & large portions. It was as good as eating in the restaurant which we do occasionally.

The table wad booked for 7pm for 4 people two weeks in advance of the night. Reception area was small overcrowded we was told to seat near the door under full heating 30+ degrees...waited until 7.30 to be told no table available. The staff seemed more interested in the delivery service than the restaurant which is a shame as used to be very good service in the past.

Diabolical Service. Booked a table for 7pm 2 weeks in advance. Restaurant full, Still waiting to be seated at 7.15pm no empty tables and was told to wait! When explained the table had been booked 2 weeks prior, Manager told us ‘cannot move people out of their seats’ and we have to wait!! Doesn’t even warrant 1 star!! Wouldn’t go again. Disappointing to say the least.

I've been here a few times now, each meal has been delicious.

First visit to passage to India and the food was horrible, it was oily with no spice. I ordered a mix grill for 10 quid and I got one piece of chicken, 2 pieces of lamb, 2 piece of Seekh Kebabs and it was chewy (tasted like the days before Food).

Me and my wife have been going to Passage to India for the last 15 years my opinion is this is best Indian restaurant in Leicester I never had a bad meal from them and the staff are very friendly

Great food and service as always. Butter chicken and lamb tawa were delicious

Thank you for our worst new years eve , your food was very bland and dry , not upto your usual standard, hope you have a happy new year after you have cashed up .

Brilliant Indian restaurant. Always good quality food and good service. Can't go wrong with any choice on the menu here but I recommend the Bhuna. The guys there are super friendly too

Fabulous place, oh the food is brilliant, lots choices, service was excellent. Hot food. Definitely will go again and again it was that good 👍

My husband and I and my mother came to the Passage to India. My mother ordered chicken resotti, my husband garlic chilli chicken and I ordered chicken tawa. The food was simply delicious and the best curries we can ever remember enjoying. The service was second to none - not intrusive, charming and helpful. We will absolutely be back and can’t recommend enough.

The food was great The staff were very helpful and friendly Lovely place for a lovely meal

Lovely food as always . Good portions tasty and hot . Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for tasty authentic Indian cuisine.

We love it here , very good food and amazing staff , weve been coming for quite some time - great service amazing food

Excellent food, lovely staff so friendly. Brilliant restaurant, highly recommend.

Lovely food and friendly staff and right on my doorstep 😋😀

Sad to write (as a regular customer) that I had a bad stomach for 2 days after recently eating here. As with many other restaurant’s, I always worry about the hygiene of the establishment and regrettably, I no longer have any confidence in this restaurant....

A really warm welcome when we visited to order and wonderful food, still piping hot once we arrived home.

Normally pretty good but forgot my rice this time...curry with no rice?? Hmmm

Found the meal we had here was excellent The staff were very friendly without being too intrusive The food was excellent value and tasted fantastic I am not local and was visiting family but would certainly visit again when in the area Well worth a visit

Our favourite Indian restaurant. Wonderful food and service. The 'extra large' wines are good. Fabulous

Worst takeaway I've ever had... If you like a very watery curry with no taste and don't mind the cost being made up as they go along then go ahead and order. @passagetoindia... Is making your curries of water a cost saving exercise?

Great food as always... My only criticism is that the plates and food could be hotter when brought out from the kitchen.

Great meal, great service, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This is the best indian take away in Leicester

We used to order from here all the time, it was our go to place! HOWEVER… The last few times we have ordered from here, it’s been awful. We gave them the benefit of the doubt, but our valentines takeaway was dreadful. The takeaway was...

Used to eat here frequently but stopped after lockdown due to the quality of the food. Tonight we ordered a take away and every single thing was awful. Chicken tikka masala looked like it had been watered down as parts were really watery and chicken...

Great meal and lovely staff and great service

I was really pleased to find this place. Last night I had the best chicken Korma, mushroom rice and Lamb Tikka I have had in years. Will defiantly be back, despite having to travel.

Had a delivery for 4 persons on Saturday evening and the food was so fresh, hot and tasty you would think we sat outside the kitchen not 4 miles away. Absolutely delighted with it and will certainly buy again. Credit to all who work there.

Poor experience as the food was very bland, we ate in the restaurant last night and had lamb dessi gosht which was delicious, we had it as a takeaway tonight and it wasn’t the same at all!! Tonight was watery and tasteless, the lamb was...

This place is incredible great food great beer and friendly staff who are worth the weight in gold.

Been a loyal customer for over 15 years and I'm sad to say I just had my worst ever takeaway. Tikka masala was so watery that is you could have mistaken it for red wine. No taste at all. Shame really as used to be a really good takeaway.

Fantastic food and service. Thoroughly recommended.

Best Indian Takeaway in the area. Great value for money and lovely quality food! Very clean in the restaurant when dining in also.

Good meal, friendly and helpful staff
