Heritage India Restaurant in Leicester

1. Hemaxi ★★★☆☆

   Me and my partner have ordered from here many times and decided to eat in for the first time tonight (Thurs evening). Big mistake. There were only 3 tables including ours. When our food came, the curries were great and as expected. Chilli chips were not like how we have ever had, and tasted stale and just different. When we were asked how the food was, I asked for another single chapatti. We were waiting just over 10 minutes. I then asked the waitress why it was taking so long. She said she was about to put it into the system so the kitchen could make it, but had to take a call. I couldn't believe it. She asked the kitchen only then to make it. It took another 7-10 minutes to come out. I explained I no longer wanted to eat as it took around 20 mins to get a single chappati and asked for takeaway boxes. We were waiting for another 10 mins for these boxes and the bill. Service was very poor and every time I spoke to the woman about the issue, she just stared at me like she didn't know what to do or say. There was a second woman seemingly helping out but dressed in a full fluffy coat and actually coming to tables like that. Not the service that you want or expect. To top it all off, the restaurant was cold and seemed to only be heated by a freestanding heater (like a beer garden heater). There was no music until halfway through our visit, so just quiet and awkward. It was such a bizarre and negative experience. We appreciated the gesture to reduce the bill by £5. However, we would never eat in again and will stick to takeaway only.

   Excellent Indian fine dining restaurant in Leicester. Everything right from the ambience to hospitality, food portion and quality were just too good. Variety for both veg and non-veg options were diverse. The best part was the pricing part, very reasonable pricing kept for such a good family restaurant. The only room for improvement in our selection were the chilli veg momos which we thought could have been cooked more and the mixed veg sabzi could have been made more spicier but rest of them were good. Would definitely recommend anyone vitising or even staying in Leicester.

   I discovered this place randomly and it has become a real favourite. I really love their momos as they are authentic Nepali style and although it’s not on the menu, if you ask them they can do jhol momos for you, which is momo in a gravy. The best bit is that the vegetarian momos have soya keema that’s just flavoured right. But be warned, it has Schezuan pepper so it is a bit spicy. The paneer tikka was really delicious and the quality of paneer was good too. My parents liked the baigan bharta. We had naan with the meal and that was good too. The saag was a little undercooked but overall a good experience. Forgot to take the photos the first time I went there, I had the egg curry and it was just so delicious. Only complaint was the place we were sitting was a little chilly as the heater vent was facing away from us.

   Really friendly and attentive staff. Comfortable, relaxed seating and atmosphere with the smells of spices from the kitchen occasionally. The onion bhaji was the best I've ever had, very fresh with slight crispiness. Not at all greasy like some places. I also had the Lamb Madras, one of the best (if not the best) curry I've had as well. Fresh and so full of flavour. The curry was hot but not overpowering and there was lots of tender lamb as well. The rice was also lovely and a perfect contrast to the hot spice of the Madras, complimenting the curry very well. As a side I had the keema naan, again, a big portion and very fresh, full of flavour and spicing. Would absolutely recommend this place and will come again if I'm in the area. Managed to thank the chef and his brigade on the way out as well and it was great to see the whole restaurant team obviously take such pride in what they do. Excellent meal, thanks!

   A decent Indian restaurant, although if you're expecting authentic indian, don't get your hopes up. Found quite a lot of our food with varying levels of quality. Some dishes with chicken were incredibly bland and dry, whereas some were incredibly flavourful. Overall though, if you want to try it I would absolutely encourage you!

   Had my first meal at this restaurant, it was a very busy night for them with some big parties to deal with, so the food took a while. But they did apologise for it also it was not an issue for us. I had the prawn chat puri to start and it was one of the finest ones I have had. For my main I had the house special lamb tak a tak with the mushroom rice and I really enjoyed it .I couldn't finish it all. I look forward to my 2nd visit here sometime.
