There were no complaints from anyone, we were all very impressed and after we left the restaurant and did the scoring, we realised Avatar was the winner for 2022. None of us expected Avatar to beat the previous leader so it just shows that these great restaurants are still out there. A great night and a great win.

We were left with an overall feeling of dissatisfaction, which rather spoilt the evening for us, so we were happy to pay the bill, which was near enough thirty pounds per head, and leave.

The venue for our October visit was a restaurant that I had been to numerous times in the 1990’s and at that time was the ‘go-to’ curry house in the market town of Melton Mowbray… in fact Prince William once ate there when he was in the area.

It is very rare that all Leicester Curry Club members agree on the standard of food and presentation, but here everything was perfect – and the portions were larger than in other restaurants too! We know – this was our 129th monthly outing, and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

Currently, the scoring puts this in the lead this year – the food was undoubtedly the best I’ve had this year. With a focus on the service, I’m sure this will be a destination Indian restaurant for Leicestershire.
We are all keen to return together or with friends and family, and we’ll update here how we get on. Try it and let us know how you find it too!

The bill came to £110 for five people including beers so it was reasonable. There was only one waiter working and surprisingly the service was quick. The toilets seriously need a refresh.

Our June excursion this year involved a trip to Blaby, which is the far side of Leicester to where we are based. It proved to be a worthwhile journey as we enjoyed both the ambience and the food. The décor at the Zaika restaurant is tasteful, the accommodation is plentiful and comfortable with dining rooms on two floors and more than enough parking available on the doorstep.

Taraj Palace is situated on the main Melton Road in Syston and has a small car park at the rear of the restaurant, there is limited on street parking although there is a large car park around 70 metres away. It has recently been refurbished and has had a change of ownership, so I thought now is the time to see how it rated.

So for April we headed off to Ryan’s in Loughborough. This restaurant is on Baxter Gate just opposite the cinema and leisure complex. We were initially the only customers that were in, and we always think that’s a little odd for a restaurant in a great high street location. They were quite busy with take aways, and it wasn’t long before other eat in diners appeared.

I had chosen a restaurant for March, then we had to postpone March’s outing. When re-arranged, the original was closed for Ramadan, so I had to look for a new restaurant. I had seen Momma’s Kitchen on social media, and it looked great. You can find them on Instagram and Facebook with lots of photos and videos of their open kitchen.
