What A Shot in Leicester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My favourite food is Indian and this by far was the best to date, staff were very accomodating and the kids were not bored once! X

The atmosphere here is incredible it’s a venue you’d like to bring family or even date night. All staff are incredible very knowledgeable and attentive. I would recommend veg and non veg, most of all Sim, H, Karan, harsh are the perfect combination of staff

Brilliant service thank you Savan for great hospitality.

Harjoat karan was an absolute legend! He has such a good sence of humour and is great with his customers. He deserves a gold badge ! Great guy

Since coming back from turkey , I’ve been craving good old traditional Indian food, something most Indians can relate to when returning home. I’ve already eaten here four times since being back , I know bad right 🤣🤣, and I have to say, this place delivers the best food by far! The new Indian chef’s Gurkha curry, blended with authentic Indian flavors, is simply out of this world. No restaurant in Leicester even comes close to this level of taste. The naan bread was so soft and fluffy last night it felt like I was indulging in a delicious cake. Every bite was beautiful. The food was incredibly fresh, bursting with flavor, and a true delight. It’s not the same run-of-the-mill taste you get in most Indian pubs and restaurants around Leicester—it’s on another level. I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates real, traditional Indian cooking!

Great place to eat and drink , service was wonderful

Simran & Karan were great and the food was excellent!

Came to what a shot for a meal with a few friends, the service was fantastic and the food was absolutely flawless, will definitely be returning very soon

The chilli prawn starter and mix grill was so good I had to get more of the chilli sauce separately for the mix grill 🤯 made me come back the next day for more but was recommended by the waiter to try the panner curry again was amazing great service good food and as a whole the place a good vibe

A great service overall! I have dietary requirements and I must say that my needs were taken care of and special care was taken in preparation of my food. I felt catered for and very reassured with my intolerances. The staff were polite and caring as well as concerned. Thank you I will be visiting again

Had such an amazing time, everyone here is so welcoming and delightful my favourite spot and the food is out of this world

Incredible night with our cricket team! Karan, our server, was lovely and couldn’t have been more attentive to us!! 3 of our group didn’t have Google accounts but also wanted to commend our server Karan and the restaurant - we had a wonderful evening!!

Amazing food every time, lovely atmosphere and staff are also super lovely ! Would definitely recommend the garlic chilli chicken! Best Indian food in Leicester and great value for money !

The What a Shot experience is very very good, the food is quality and the service always friendly and attentive. Especially for sports fanatics, who can watch or play and then come upstairs for great Indian food. Well worth trying!

Absolutely amazing place. The food is out of this world and the drinks do not disappoint. Would definitely recommend the lamb chops and sizzlers.

Amazing place for a nice and relaxed meal!! I will definitely be back again!!

Great food and great service. Will be back again soon

Would recommend anyone to come here food is great service is very good and the atmosphere perfect 👌🏻 sawan is very good at his job as the manager always makes you feel welcome

Delicious food,good Cusotmer service and amazing atmosphere

I had a wonderful dinner. The gulam jamboo is gorgeous & the butter paneer and naan is lovely too. Highly recommend 😍

Amazing food , the staff are very smart and polite and helpful. Defo somewhere we will be coming back

We would like to thank Jay and partners, loved the ambience, food drinks etc spit on, would definitely recommend.

Nice ambience, highly recommended

Great atmosphere and food is really good

I have been going to this restaurant since the opening and was always happy with food and drinks. Yesterday I have noticed that the beer is so water down that I ordered a bottled beer instead, also the food wasn’t as it always was but they have changed it straight away. I won’t be coming again, very disappointed as for the prices the quality of food and drink should be top level

The service was amazing, food was delicious, staff were vey polite and friendly. I’ll definitely visit again. Thank you for this amazing experience What A Shot🥂

Amazing interior,delicous food and very friendly staff

Visited this place for my husband birthday very good place lovely atmosphere and great food and staff is lovely and welcoming specially one staff member her name is KHUSHI had lovely service from her will definitely visit again had lovely time x

Good food but I am a bit disappointed that a waiter or chef comes up to us just as we are about to order our main meal and gives us a set menu. I thought this was a bit unprofessional and that they wanted to get rid of us because of a two hour slot due to the football.

Food was good, service was average - great atmosphere, big screens, open kitchen area and nice ambience.

Unfortunately no option for zero stars! Food served cold, naans tasted like they were from a packet, don’t expect any customer service because staff are very poorly trained and they add service charge to the bill! Having it removed should be the customers prerogative and not their entitlement! Avoid at all costs. Lots of other much better places in Leicester for curry and watching football.

Great selection of dishes, fusion dishes were spot on, Seekh Kebab Bao and Chicken & Kheema curry. Nice vibe and great place to watch the footy too.

Good atmosphere, service is incredibly slow and poor. We arrived at 7.30pm. Drinks took over 25/30 mins. Starters were OK. Mains order was taken, we followed up after 40 mins and they hadn't actually put the order through so we left without having dinner. Suggest additional training and investment in more staff required.

I’ve eaten here a few times now. Twice before they got rid of an awful manager and once after and it was obvious who the weak link was. The first couple of times, service was just a mess. The wrong orders coming to the table, missing items & very slow service getting drinks. Since they’ve got a new manager; what a difference! The food is really great. I’ve spent time in India and it’s somewhat authentic, but tweaked to fit a more western palette. Spicy, full of flavour & always piping hot. They’re generous with portions and side sauces & dips. I took my dad, who has a very high standard for Indian food and he was stoked, even happier when the bill came as it’s reasonably priced. Atmosphere is always good as its open plan and doubles as a bar and sports lounge. It ALMOST got five stars, but twice I’ve ordered takeaway and the Ubereats app doesn’t recognise between prawn biriyani and prawn curry and twice I’ve received a curry when I ordered a biriyani. Hopefully this improvement continues and I’ll be frequently visiting.

Great food, brilliant atmosphere and good service.

Fantastic service and the food served is delicious. The chef should stop being afraid to make it hot and spicy when requested on the first request! Highly recommend the restaurant.

Thanks Shree for looking after us! Really enjoyed the food and hospitality!

Situated on an industrial estate. It's a little difficult to find. Plenty of parking. Can't really work out what this place is...is it a gym ? A football centre or restaurant? Food is average, and the cocktails looked better than they tasted.

This definitely should be renamed “What a Mess” Second time I’ve been here during boxing and it was dreadful. We waiting almost 40mins for some drinks, most of the time 30mins, They just don’t care and actually have no idea what they’re doing. We asked for a food bill and they sent the wrong one. (The wrong bill was quarter of our actual bill, we kindly told them it’s the wrong one. We could’ve got away with a cheaper bill but we are not like this) Extra drinks added to our bill, some drinks missing. The food is below average, wings are awful. We sent them back got another portion and it was still awful. They use the same sauce for Chilli chicken and chilli prawns. (Why do restaurants do this). The kebabs were cold and the portions are tiny for the money you pay. There is no excuse for this kind of service, even if it was busier than usual. Get more staff, waiting that long for drinks is stupid. Won’t be coming back. Ps I’ve given them 5* for the what a goal complex and their rascal ranch soft play.

Mixed grill was cold, sent it back to reheat. Meat was not fresh. Mains were ok. Cocktails were nothing special. Atmosphere was a little quiet then picked up when many gym guys came in.

Food , ambience , service and hygiene is top notch. As we explored a variety of restaurants in Leicester but the atmosphere we got along with quality service and hospitality and super tasty food which “JUST LIKE WOWWW “ is in “WHAT A SHOT “. I must recommend this place , staff are so generous and professional with smile welcome until payment. At the last , I would like to add some of real assets of the restaurant (staff name) KRUTIKA, KRUNAL , SAVAN & Mr.Chef and others too. From : #Hirki_Love❤️

A hidden gem. Food cooked to perfection, service was spot on and the atmosphere was awesome. Can't fault this place except for no Cobra! Nevertheless, I would recommend this place and will definitely be going regularly.

Nice place, staff got my bill wrong so had to pay twice. Service charge is included.

We was served by Nicola who was on her trial shift, she was amazing and gave us outstanding service everyone on our table was satisfied by her service 😁

I very rarely write reviews but I felt compelled as the service given by Alex was and is exceptional, he is an absolute asset to the establishment. I had a private party at the venue and Alex went absolutely above and beyond to making my family and I have the most memorable time. Alex wasn’t phased by having to speak to multiple people that were organising the event, any requests made he would make sure they were dealt with, he made everything feel so effortless and enjoyable. On the day he made sure everything went smoothly, made sure he gave us the best options and made suggestions that would be best for ourselves and our guests. Even a month on I felt I could contact Alex in regards to my event and still he goes above and beyond to help in anyway. It was such a joy having Alex part of my celebrations, he is so kind, considerate and respectful. Just an absolute pleasure to work with, fun easy to get along with guy. I honestly don’t think the experience would have been this exceptional if Alex hadn’t been part of the planning and execution. In regards to the venue, it is stunning and i’m so glad I celebrated such a milestone here. My guests had nothing but amazing things to say from the food to the venue and atmosphere. The food was out of this world as you can tell my experience was amazing and hope to celebrate any special milestones here again. (With the help of Alex of course) Thank you

Never mind what a shot! What a fantastic place to eat! We had starters and mains, all reasonably priced and big portions! The drinks were also priced reasonably. Will certainly be going back. For 6 adults and two children the bill came to £282 (that included a £30 tip)

We had a fantastic experience whilst dining this evening. Myself and 2 friends saw that the restaurant had won best new restaurant and decided to give it a try and we’re certainly glad we did!! All the staff who were involved in serving us were fantastic! Particularly Parth and the young lady who’s name we didn’t get. Both were very attentive, super friendly and helpful. Parth was particularly helpful whilst ordering, making sure that we did not order more food than we needed and making recommendations for food. We enjoyed that we were able to order our starters first, giving us chance to think about our mains and there was no pressure at all. When the food arrived, it was sensational! Among the best Indian food that we had ever eaten and the portion sizes were very generous. We will definitely be returning in the new year. Thanks to all involved for a very pleasurable dining experience.

Great place. People working here are really amazing! Provided quality service and tasty food! Food portions is also great! Would definitely recommend anyone to come here for a great time and great food! Thank you guys!

Sawan patel has a given us absolute amazing service. Very polite and knowledgeable. Thank you so much making our evening fabulous. Food was not so great compared to August 2020.

service is excellent, but food needs big improvements floor staff are very good 👍🏼

Amazing food Amazing service especially from Parth ! Looks after you

Food, service and ambience is great. When busy, order will take longer and you might be wauting in between the meal otherwise its a great place

Food was really delicious. Ambience and hygiene is taken care of. Chefs take all your order notes very seriously and serves with exactly what you expect for. Exceptional service by Krutika. Been there a few times and mostly she served us with great care and courtesy. They take pride in what they do. Will highly recommend

Booked a table online to be told there was no space in the restaurant when we got there. We were placed in the "social area" on high tables which were extremely wobbly. Props to the waiter Parth who noticed our discomfort and did everything he could to make the evening enjoyable. Food was decent and service was great from Parth, just would have been nice to sit at a regular table instead of high chairs that kept sinking.

Had a very lovely experience with Parth as our host...he has been very professional and helpful with every request and gone over and beyond to give our party the best experience. Thank you parth for making our experience at what a shot special and we will deffo come back!

We were welcomed by parth n he was so friendly n helped with service with always a smile on his face amazing staff!!! Definitely recommend this place to anyone 👌 👍 👏

had a great time and krutika is very generous and kind. amazing service overall

The food and atmosphere is good most weekend nights, and Rumz the bartender, is on point with the drinks no nonsense, just good vibes and quick service. Definitely recommend giving it a shot

i was very pleased with the service, especially from bartender rumz

We went to What A Shot for a birthday recently. A really great atmosphere, love the decor and amazing service. A great selection of drinks including cocktails and mocktails. Very accommodating for my gluten allergy and the food was super tasty!! We will definitely be visiting again soon!!!

Amazing food, delicious and clean. You can instantly tell everything is fresh and prepared with some passion. To point out one of the best dishes so far.... Masala Prawns are on point. The staff seem happy and are very helpful, generally make you feel welcome. Service from bar staff was a little slow but mainly because it was a busy night so understandable. Atmosphere in the week is calm and pleasant, all the sports you can wish for but not all the idiots that come with it. Weekends the place lights up with a weekend vibe, a nice place to go if your looking for a great crowd, good food and a selection of drinks.

By far the best food I have ever tasted! I went to 3 indian restaurants this week and none of them compare to this place! It wasn't just the food, I like to eat in NICE places, and the decor, the design, and the ambience at What A Shot definately had that modern vibe to it, it was a trendy bar and I felt like I was in London. Such a breath of fresh air after eating at so many old fashioned, run down restaurents in Leicester that need a revamp! And need updating! Thank god theres finally somewhere nice and classy to go in Leicester!

Amazing place. Amazing atmosphere. Staff was lovely and enjoyed the food.

My dining experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm and inviting ambiance to the impeccable service, every detail was carefully considered. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes, each surpassing expectations in taste and presentation. The staff exhibited a perfect balance of attentiveness and professionalism, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the evening. Undoubtedly a five-star experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a culinary delight. This is a classy sports bar, the atmosphere has the energetic spirit of a sports venue, but with tasteful decor and well-appointed seating make it an ideal spot for a refined sports-watching experience. Whether you're a sports enthusiast or simply seeking a sophisticated setting for socialising, this establishment provides a winning combination of elegance and athletic fervor. A must-visit for those who appreciate the finer side of sports bars.

Excellent evening at What A Shot.. Me and the wife came for food, we had poppadoms, starters and mains. Food was at the highest quality, highly recommend the tandoori mix grill sizzler and the king prawn sizzler. Staff were fantastic, very friendly and always on hand to offer table service for drinks. Will definitely be coming again.

My husband and I visited this venue for a night out with friends and had an enjoyable time. The food was delicious, and I will definitely be bringing the rest of my family here for a meal.

I came here with my family & friends for dinner and we all really enjoyed the food and we the place had a really good atmosphere and vibe . Highly recommended

I recently had the pleasure of dining at "What a Shot," and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. First and foremost, the food quality and hygiene standards were impeccable. It's clear that the kitchen staff takes great care in preparing dishes, as every bite was a delight. The flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation was impressive. Whether you're a food enthusiast or someone with a discerning palate, you'll be pleased with the culinary offerings here. Now, let's talk about "TikTok", the shining star of our dining experience. Her exceptional service went beyond what is expected. She is not just a staff but a true ambassador for the restaurant. TikTok's warmth, kindness, and attentiveness made our evening memorable. Her recommendations were spot on and enhanced our meal significantly. Her knowledge and passion for the menu were evident, and she made us feel like honored guests. The ambiance of "What a Shot" deserves a mention as well. The restaurant exudes a welcoming atmosphere, suitable for intimate dinners and larger gatherings. The decor, lighting, and choice of music create a pleasant and relaxing environment. TikTok, with her impeccable service and genuine care, turned our visit into a memorable event. Her passion for what she does truly shines, and it's this kind of exceptional service that sets "What a Shot" apart. Kudos to TikTok and the entire team for creating an experience worth savoring and sharing!

We came here today to celebrate my.cousins 40th who's from London and to watch the world Cup cricket final. We were not disappointed with the ambiance, the fantastic food, and wonderful hospitality. Very impressed and can't wait to come again for Christmas. Even my cousin from London was impressed. Keep up the good work WAG,WAS TEAM!! 👏

Absolutely brilliant food... so tasty, large portion sizes, amazing cocktails, great atmosphere and super service. Highly recommend this place.. definitely our favourite Indian restaurant 😋

I came to What A Shot for food and drinks with my family and we all loved it. The food was amazing and the cocktails were on point. The ambience was spot on , and being able to watch the sports in the background for lads was fantastic. No one was disappointed. Will definitely be visiting again.

Booked for a family outing and everyone enjoyed the time there. The service was excellent and the staff catered to all our needs. The food came out on time and was delicious and the bill wasn’t as high as I thought it would be so value for money.
