DetailsThis month we tried a new restaurant in Leicester — Cinnamon, formerly Timo Italian on Stoneygate Road. They had a special opening offer of 30% off the bill for the first seven days, so we thought we’d give it a try.
DetailsWe visited a restaurant on London Road this month, it is a venue that we had been to previously, but it was in different ownership then and with a different name. The establishment is now Golden Sands proclaiming to provide ‘’Modern Goan Indian and Portuguese Dining.’’
DetailsFor our July outing, the Leicester Curry Club headed to Satya in Great Glen, and it proved to be an excellent choice.
First impressions were very positive. There is plenty of parking, and the restaurant has been recently refurbished, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. One feature that immediately caught our attention was the open kitchen visible behind the bar area, which adds a nice sense of theatre and confidence in the food being prepared.
Our June outing took us up the A47 to visit the Bewicke Arms, a traditional grade II listed building. The Bewicke Arms is a modern take on the traditional English Inn – set on the border of Leicestershire & Rutland, in the picturesque village of Hallaton.
DetailsWe visited Curry Lush located inside The Meadows pub in Beaumont Leys, for our May outing.
The pub itself is a decent size with a good bar area and pool tables, while the restaurant occupies what was probably the old lounge area. It certainly got us reminiscing about when estate pubs like this would have been packed with drinkers and smokers years ago – it would have been the place to be back in the day.
Details9 years ago, we visited The Indian Chef at 3 Kilns in Leicestershire, which was ranked 3rd back in 2017. So, when we heard they had opened a new 3 Kilns in Hinckley, we had to go and try it out.
DetailsWe took a chance on a smaller, café like restaurant this month, it’s always a pleasant diversion to find somewhere different and compare the possibilities with the more traditional restaurants. The establishment selected was Indian Rooster on Ashby Road in Loughborough. Parking was easy using Sainsburys car park which is almost next door where you can park for up to two hours, it’s handy to combine some shopping or topping up your fuel tank as well if planned accordingly.
DetailsOur February visit was to a restaurant on Uppingham Road, which was found via a website search, and upon reading the reviews, thought we’d give it a try.
It is situated on a busy road so parking can be a problem – parking is available near Humberstone Park a short walk away, or on one of the nearby side roads.
What a start to January 2026! We headed to the new Aberdale on Shackerdale Rd, Wigston.
