The chicken kebab roll is really tasty and for the price of £5 for a small chicken kebab roll with 2 kebabs a nann salad and sauces is value for money.

One of my favourite places for home made curry and pilau rice! Proper Pakistani style too! I go here at least once a week. Highly recommend

An excellent find. Small fronted building belies the truly yummy food inside. The kebabs are worth going for on their own. Will be going back!

I have ordered from this restaurant using online food delivery. I am a foodie, exploring authentic tastes. I tried almost all food items on their menu and could assure they are hidden gem of Leicester. They offer authentic and geniune taste on fair prices. The food is packed well as well. Would highly recommend their nihari, qeema and biryani.

Have been going here since I was a kid mayby once every few years as the years went by and the food had always been bang on. Had a family freind bring me a takeaway of kebabs back to London for me recently and still as good as you can get. Don't change the recipe!

Thank you
A great neighbourhood place to get different types of naan; butter naan, kheema naan, donner kebab. I prefer naan over bread with non-veg meals so I keep hoping to this outlet.

The best indian style sheek kebabs you could ask for! Also do a good selection of curries and great biryanis. Only a small place but definitely worth a visit or to grab a takeaway from. A hidden gem in Leicester!!
Owner response
Many Thanks Rakesh.
The best biryani in leicester in my opinion and my family and friends opinion too. My family have been eating biryani from here since I was a kid and I’ve got so many of my friends hooked on the biryani here, it is so addictive my mouth is watering just thinking about it. The staff have always been super friendly too!

Many thanks Safina for your kind words. I'm glad we are meeting expectations. We are a small family based business and fully appreciate your support. Thanks once again.
I never tried it but my uncle took me there and I was mind blown by the tasty food the place provided next time I come back to Leicester I will definitely come back to this brilliant kebab shop.

Food is well cooked - and the shop is very clean. I could tell hygiene is important to them. Above all, the food never fails to satisfy my expectation - very tasty.
