All the dishes we ordered had bit of sweetness in it despite showing medium level of spice. Not meant for people who like spices. Other than that it's fine if you like sweet texture in your curry.
This is the not the same popular Shimla pinks that we used to dine for the last 10 years. New chef’s, new staff and new taste. The food is average.
They sat us down at the entrance for a while which was rude, there were so many tables available. Luckily a more experienced member of staff seemed to tell him off and sat us down straight away when he saw. Food was OK but for the price it should be better. Naans and tandoori shrimp were very good, Curry and chicken tikka was bang average. Also tried not to apply the £15 reduced offer on our bill despite booking with the code which was a bit cheeky. 10% service charge automatically applied is fine, but not when service is poor. Not a bad visit but probably wouldn't go back.
Tasty food with great portion sizes but try to avoid going at a busy time - it can be very difficult to get the attention of staff as they're rushed off their feet. They were very polite, though, so it never felt uncomfortable.
Excellent Christmas Day meal, no turkey or sprouts. Really delicious food, exception service! Thank you Shimla Pinks
They looked after our extra large group really well. Starters were better than mains but overall the good was very good. Standard Cobra beers etc.
First time at this restaurant. Very nice place, food was really nice and very good portion sizes. Kind and attentive staff, only thing I would fault was the lassi was watered down too much. Well priced for the quality and quantity, lovely tasting and well presented dishes. The peshwari naan bread filling was not skimped on as some restaurants do which defeats the point. The cutlery even came in a sealed packet with tissue and anti bac hand wipe, very hygienic. Not sure if service charge was optional or not but I would and will pay again as the service was brilliant, we went on a busy Saturday night and could not fault it, orders came out fast with extras as requested and asked during the meal if everything was ok. Also asked if we were ready for next course which is always a plus. If there was no service charge we would have left about the same in a tip anyway. Will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes.
2 minutes from our hotel, we were looking for somewhere for dinner. Lovely warm welcome, efficient service and great food. We had the special Tandoor. Well presented, tasty wholesome food. There was nothing to dislike.
Very good food, service was also good worth the visit would recommend.
Always a pleasant visit. Enjoyed the meal and service was really good. There's always going to be mixed reviews but misbehave generally been positive. Not the cheapest restaurant in Leicester but the food is great from vegetarian dishes to Chicken and lamb ones. Booking advisable Friday and Saturday and just as well we visited on Sunday.
