My visit to Mother India in Leicester on September 8th, 2023, left me thoroughly disappointed. We were looking forward to a delicious meal, but the experience fell far short of our expectations. As soon as we placed our order for a chicken sizzler, a vegetable curry, and an egg curry, we were taken aback by how quickly the food arrived – just 3 minutes after ordering. This lightning-fast service raised doubts in our minds about the freshness of the dishes. Our disappointment deepened when we tasted the chicken sizzler. The chicken was incredibly tough and lacked any discernible flavor. When we asked our waitress about it, she honestly admitted that the chicken had been cooked the day before and reheated. This revelation was disheartening, and it made us question the restaurant's dedication to serving fresh and delicious food. To make matters worse, when we shared our concerns with the restaurant manager, their response was far from satisfactory. Rather than addressing our issues, they scolded the waitress for being truthful, leaving us feeling frustrated and unheard. In a city like Leicester, where there are plenty of dining options, it's perplexing why Mother India would choose to serve reheated food. Our experience at this restaurant left us not only with an unsatisfying meal but also with a sense of letdown as customers. I strongly recommend considering other dining options if you're looking for an authentic and enjoyable meal. Mother India failed to meet our expectations and left us disappointed.

The restaurant serves absolutely lip smacking food. We ordered Portion of chips Chicken noodle Dal Tarka with Jeera Rice Paneer sizzler and mix veg sizzler Garlic Chilli paneer Soya Tawa Sabji And of course some naans and beers :-) Food was served in about 20 minutes and the service was class 1 The staff was very friendly and food is reasonably priced. We surely gonna come back and I highly recommend this place to veg and non veg eaters …. I recommend booking this place in advance to avoid any disappointments ;-)

We visited here on Friday night as a group of twelve friends. The place did not disappoint us with he food served. The service was friendly and pleasing. The portion size were generous with excellent authentic taste of Indian cooking. The place was busy but the chef(s) in the kitchen did not let us down. The menu prices were very reasonable. Inside deco and w/c facilities can be better but can't fault the place for the food. Highly recommended for authentic taste. Not for eye catching appeal of the place.

the food was amazing and authentic in terms of taste. There was a great balance between spice and flavour, which can often be difficult to achieve, but the chefs have done an amazing job! The staff were very friendly and attentive, making sure we were happy with the food. The portions are great for the price you’re paying, the starters could’ve been a main! absolutely in love with the garlic naan, as the garlic was spread evenly and reached the crust, so every bite was full of flavour. All in all, would definitely recommend :)

Stumbled upon this little gem whilst looking for somewhere to eat. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and the food was fantastic. Obviously very authentic as there were lots of things on the menu that I hadn’t seen before and the food was on the spicy side but lovely all the same. I really do highly recommend this place!

We had a lovely meal at Mother India last night. The service was excellent and the food was delicious and wholesome. We had a shared starter, a curry and rice each, ice cream and drinks and the whole meal was very good value. Would definitely recommend snd if in Leicester, would visit again.

Tried Chinese cuisine takeaway today from this place... No wonder this place is offering you a 50% off on takeaway as the prices are elevated and the quality is degraded....it felt as if the sauces had water mixed in them. Egg fried rice had just plain rice and a few scrambles of eggs... (negligible amount of veggies) chilly chicken was heavily coated with the batter and chicken couldn't be felt in it. Lollipops are £7.50 for 7 pieces with no trace of authenticity with terms of taste. All what can be said is the discount offer is compensated with quantity and quality of food.... Not sure about Indian cuisine.. But definately not worth Chinese cuisine.try only if you willing to compromise on quality.

I was told my food would be ready in approx 2.5 hours for pickup. But when I went there I waited nearly another 1 hour in the cue to get it. In total it took over 3.5 hours to get food. Was waiting outside in cold, was horrible. I've never waited this long for food before and it ruined our evening. This even put me off my food.

Every curry had its own flavour. The large meat sizzler was generous. Will visit again for sure! Staff are friendly too
