This must be the most beautiful Indian restaurant in Leicestershire, the décor is fantastic, it’s like another world. From the moment you walk through the big doors and your coats are taken, you are then led through to a lower floor with the most lavish of settings, there is also private dining for small parties.
We ordered their own beer called Lucky Buddha Beer and Cobra beer all ice cold, as it should be. Then we ordered Poppadoms with chutney tray: Mango Mint & Tomato Garlic which were very nice.
When we ordered mains, we knew the portions would be small, we also knew it wouldn’t be cheap- we knew we were coming to Varanasi for the experience and the setting. We ordered the Chilli Chicken, Varanasi Special Chicken Curry, Nawabi Chicken Biryani and Lucknow Lamb Biryani, we also had Spicy Rice, Peshwari Naan and Keema Naan.
The meal was great, but unfortunately on the night we went, there were several bloggers on the next table. It seemed there was a lot of focus on their table because there was plenty of staff, but we had to ask three times for a drink, we hope that was just a blip as I am sure on a normal night this would not have happened.
The bill came to £156.75 with a service charge of £19.59, totalling £176.30 for the four of us.
A great experience, especially if you are celebrating with a loved one.
