Satwa gave a 5 star service thank you.

Delicious food and fantastic service

Lovely service and the food was awesome 👌

Harsh your a credit to What a Shot. Impeccable service start to finish. Thank you for looking after us and making my bday special.

Very impressed with this place, decore was lovely 💖 Excellent service from Harsh

Harsh has provided a world class service! He was attentive, accommodating, read all our wishes, looked after our group really, really well. I'm truly impressed with his high level of services. The atmosphere was very nice, the lights, the sound, was brilliant. You could speak and have a conversation around the table, yet uplifting music in the background. 5 Stars!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience at what a shot The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. What stood out the most was the exceptional service — the staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome from start to finish. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of great ambiance, quality food, and outstanding customer service. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great customer service. Food was tasty. We had a great time and would go back again.

I am afraid that this restaurant is on 4.5 star. food worst, service worst, never answer call to address the problem.

What A a Shot is a delightful dining experience that truly excels in every aspect. The food was exceptional, with the Chicken Kadai on the bone standing out as a highlight. The drink selection was also top-notch, complementing the meal perfectly. The atmosphere was inviting and added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. What A Shot is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

Very nice food and atmosphere 👌 Only thing when they cooking on open area it make me sneezing

Swati was a lovely waitress who was very attentive and accommodating. Had a lovely experience.

We organised a family get together for Christmas. Booking emails were always replied to, and the service on the day was excellent. Considering it was a pre-ordered 2 course individual meal for 24 people, the quality of the food and the helpfulness of staff was outstanding. The food was served in a timely manner - and it was yummy! Thank you to all the team!

Karan was a great help during our experience there.

Excellent music food and ambience!! Karan is the party maker!!

Great service and hospitality. The owner Kabita was a great host and she made sure we had a great time.

Excellent service by Karan, amazing food and world class atmosphere when we were meeting with friends after 15 years at this hidden gem.

Came with high expectations as have been here previously. But wow this was a real dissatisfying experience, put me off this place totally. Veggie mixed platter had no flavour. Some of the veggie Manchurian balls were undercooked but the crispy Bhajiya were very lovely, definitely worth a try if you visit here.

Great service, good food. Thanks Patrick

Food was amazing 🤩 and service is definitely super good But the atmosphere and music 🎵 was superb fantastic!! Like even If I say they were playing my song playlist only but I just been for the first time over there !! I loved it 😊!! Highly recommended please check out ✨

We were a large party of 48 and couldn't fault anything, the service was quick considering how busy they were, the food and atmosphere was amazing, will definitely be back...

Gr8 night Food brill Service second to none

I love it sooooo much! It is so good here. I loved the butter chicken. I love this place. From Sid & Rae (aged 5 & 8)

Really nice place I enjoyed this place and food

Food Taste is really nice, and the staff members are amazing. Special (Harsh/ sawant ) this guys are fantastic

Swathi did an amazing job and food was as amazing

Chops were not sizzling. Momos had only salt and garam masala. Gorkha curry had big chunks of garlic. No flavours at all. Rubbish food. Krutika was very good. Quite understanding but obviously she couldn't help much with the food. Lovely place, good atmosphere but not a place for good food.

food amazing, lovely staff, great prices.

I’ve eaten here three times now - lunch, lunch dinner. I eat curry at least 3 times a week and the Nepali Fish Curry is one of the best I’ve ever had. It was astonishingly good. Service good, music good. Not the cheapest (far from expensive mind) - but excellent value either way. Only slightest complaint was that the red sauce with my popadoms was, without warning, probably the hottest thing I’ve ever eaten. (Possibly a little minimalist and cold if out for a cosy intimate date - but you can’t be everything to everybody.)

Brilliant experience celebrating a birthday here. Very good service. The team were really friendly and helped us with plates and cutlery for the cake we brought out too. The food was incredible as well.

Amazing atmosphere, service and food. Beautifully cooked. Chicken especially nice and tender. Will be dining again!

Really great food , great atmosphere and the service was brilliant 100% come back and recommend

Fabulous place for everyone Good service good hospitality Harsh u did a great man Thank you so much Must visit worth it

Food was fantastic, very tasty and made just how we ordered in terms of spice level. Waiting staff were friendly and helpful as well. Will definitely be back when visiting Leicester again

Lovely food and service! Really looked after us all.

Food was absolutely amazing and ample! You could share rice, naan and the mixed grills are massive!

Very nice food, would 100 percent recommend

Fantastic service, Sawan was awesome and glad he was our guy!

Great service great food thank you

Here for the first time very nice atmoshphere staff was really good...got great service from Karan...highly Recommended place

Really good service, friendly staff and great food. Large portions.

Beautiful food, fast service, friendly staff. Deffo recommend .

Excellent service,Friendly staff.

Really nice venue. Good food, great vibes.

Food cold, bland wouldn’t come again

Food was lovely starter had a bit of a kick. Order Milk with your popadoms. Wednesday night. Atmosphere was okay, would be very on weekend. Waitress was very nice and got everything correct

Tried the Moho paneer sizzler. Was very nice and spicy.

While I was optimistic about this place, mainly due to the reviews. I have to say I was terribly disappointed. When we arrived, we was seated in a nice booth just between the main screen and the bar. The lady brought us menus after 10 mins and then returned 15 mins later to take drinks order. I get it was busy, but surely they could have got us drinks quicker than 25 mins. Luckily, we ordered our food when they took the drinks order. Otherwise, I would still be there. Poppadoms took 20 mins to come. They were stale. I should have sent them back, but we were now 45 mins in and thought, let's put up with it for now. Food came about half an hour after the poppadoms, and chilli chips were very spicey. I have tried most of the India desi pubs around Leicester and have to say these was ridiculous. The sizzler was tasty enough but was not to the standards of say Broadway or Jungle Club. Once starters was done we decided to order our mains. We had to wait nearly an hour and half for our mains, bare in mind the place is empty at this stage. We get our mains at 10.20pm, who on earth wants to eat a large meal at that time. I did ask the waitress twice and she said we are working on it and we had a large order from another table, there was one other table with a group of ladies on it and they had already eaten and was finishing up! Mains came, butter chicken was tasty and was made for the Indian pallet which is great because I don't like the sweet ones. Lamb Kadai was tasty enough along with the naans. When the food bill came there was a service charge on the bill which I asked does the staff get this and I was told no. They do get the cash tips thou. To top it all off they had the football on so loud we could not hear each other talk, don't get me wrong I love my footie but people need to chat also. Overall food was ok with slight issues with some items, services eas terrible despite the staff being polite, atmosphere would have been ten times better if u didn't try to make people deaf. Would only return if I had reason to otherwise I would go Broadway, Jungle Club or Sports Lounge.

This place is brilliant. Harjoat - he is one hellava bartender. He is amazing with customers, and especially he kept me and my friends entertained. Also, Karan, he is a brilliant waiter, and kept us update with food service times and had a laugh with us. Will definitely recommend this place to everyone, whether friends, family or a date night. Thanks guys.

Amazing experience yet again! Been coming here for the last 2 years and Karan’s service is superb every time. Highly recommend here, great food, brilliant atmosphere and friendly prompt service!

Don’t waste your money here for food! I don’t usually write reviews but wanted to share this: - mixed grill was totally cold - had to be sent back and then it took ages to come again - naan was all under cooked and tasted very doughy - rice just never turned up and we had to keep asking for it (they eventually bought it after asking 5 times but by then our other food had gone cold!) - tarka daar had no salt and i had to go to the bar and ask for salt as the waitress was nowhere to be found - ordered 2 portions of fish and chips for the children, one turned up, the other didn’t and we had to keep asking for it - chicken nuggets were undercooked - child had a stomach ache after. Overall the quality of food is very mediocre for the price you are paying. We asked to speak to the owners and they weren’t there. Asked if we could speak to the Manager and he didn’t bother coming. Looks like they don’t really care. Very busy over Diwali and the staff seemed quite stretched and overwhelmed. Lots of great restaurants in Leicester, sadly this isn’t one of them! Fine if you want to go for a drink - bar area is nice and ambience is lively but that’s about it. Sad that we don’t enjoy what was supposed to be a nice family meal during Diwali.

Food is average. Veg sizzler was spicy but nice. Main course was not to the expectations. Also had to pay 50p per container if you do a takeaway of any leftovers, which I think was a bit unfair. Staff was very helpful and friendly

Mikey was amazing bar staff and he was polite and assertive

Extremely poor service Waited over 45 minutes for a table l, finally got seated then received no menu until I had to ask No one took my order, so spoke to the so called boss (Savan) who didn't care and just shrugged his shoulders Ended up walking out and went to a restaurant that actually gave us attention and served us straight away Very very poor.

Ordered from here few times and food was spot on, very nice but recent order I placed had Veg sizzler and non Veg sizzler which were both put together in one bag vertically that leg to cross contamination of oil. Not good for vegetarians. Food containers should be upright and separate bags for Vegetarians. Although can’t criticise the food as it was very nice.

Booked the private directors lounge for a gathering recently. Very helpful via emails and placed pre orders with names 24 hours beforehand as requested by the team to ensure we have a smooth service. The starters came out all fine however the mains were a mess.. considering we pre ordered they had some mains arrive early for people and others not at all. Or one dish came out but the naan was served by the time the curry went cold... so the whole thing was a bit of a mess. That being said, the waiter knew and he totally understood feedback and took it on really well. We took off the items that were late or didnt turn up at all which i thought was fair. Good deco/good food - they just need to work on plan and execution.

Delicious food with great ambience. Especially the hospitality from Mr. Harsh was too good.

We had a great time at the restaurant specially Harsh served us really well… very nice guy and very helpful

What A Shot is truly an outstanding spot! The ambiance is fantastic, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a great evening. The decor is stylish and welcoming, and it sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. The food was simply amazing – each dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and left us wanting more! Whether you’re a fan of classic favorites or looking to try something new, the menu has something for everyone. A special shoutout to Karan, our waiter, who went above and beyond to make our visit extra special. His friendly demeanor, attentiveness, and recommendations were on point. Overall, everything about What A Shot was perfect. I’ll definitely be returning soon! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience! Does that match your experience, or would you like to tweak any details?

Best restaurant special thanks to Karan for their ambience …. Superebbb

Great atmosphere, high quality tasty food, and staff very accommodating.

We celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday here and the management/staff were extremely accommodating. They have recently changed the menu and chef. I have to say both the starters and mains were excellent. We had a party of 15 and everything came out together and on time. Everyone commented on how good the food was. We were there the night the boxing was on and the atmosphere was brilliant. Our guests loved the evening and that in my opinion was down to the venue, food, atmosphere and great service👏

Visited with family, exceptional service and food. Definatley recommended

The staff was amazing, and the food was delicious

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.

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!

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

Simran & Karan were great and the food was excellent!

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!!

Great place to eat and drink , service was wonderful

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

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

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 !

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

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!

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.

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.

Great food, brilliant atmosphere and good service.
