After 11 years and visiting nearly 140 Indian restaurants in Leicestershire (must have an LE postcode) we are always excited to find a new restaurant opening and play them close to our chest saving the restaurant until it is our turn. It’s quite amusing now though as we pretty much know where we are going as friends and family share any new openings.
This month we headed not too far from home to Doon Spice situated in the Harrow Inn in Thurmaston. We were greeted by one of the owners who explained that the bar and restaurant are separate, so you end the evening with two separate bills. The bar has a wide range of drinks including Moretti always a winner with the group.
We were shown our table and ordered Papadom’s and pickle trays which were very good. We then ordered a Fish Sizzler (which should have been a Tawa) there were 4 fillets of fish which was a lot more than expected, Chicken Karahi which was good, Chicken Nagina again very good and a Lamb Karahi Tawa also good. The fifth meal was a Chicken Tawa Madras but unfortunately this was missed due to a little mix up with the waitress, it was her first night and these things happen. This came after everyone else had finished their meals but was worth the wait. The team were very apologetic and didn’t charge for the meal and also served us a complimentary round of brandies.
To summarise there were a lot of staff on so you didn’t wait for anything, the food was good, having been back since our visit and had another Chicken Tawa Madras it was very good, the meal was £81.20 without the Tawa for 4 people, we will definitely be going back.
