I was expecting a high standard but was left disappointed. Our group had complaints about a few of the main course dishes. The starters were good. The service was poor. It took 30 mins to get our drinks alone.

First time coming, Came for our families birthdays & will never return! The service was absolutely shocking! Had to wait ages to be seated. When we finally were, we had to keep asking for a drinks order & some menus. When we asked for a drink for our child, the waitress gave us attitude! There were 5 waitresses/waiters cleaning tables next to us, however! Two were cleaning, the other 3 just stood around watching & completely ignored us. We had to keep asking for service. We either got ignored with attitude or it took several attempts to actual get what we asked for. We had to BEG for jugs of water & didn’t get until 30 minutes later. When they finally came to take our order (to look up ourselves on our phones on the website menu) they finally to a drinks order. We seriously can’t believe the attitude we got when we had to beg for our child to have a drink. My partners & my food was nice but the rest of Our families food wasn’t cooked properly. It was sent back!We can’t believe the attitude when we had to ask for service several times & got ignored. My partner & I would’ve just left of it wasn’t for our family staying!My cousin had to beg for some popadoms for our child, she was that hungry waiting! We were all thirsty & so hungry waiting!The manager was consulted several times!WE’VE NEVER RECEIVED SUCH RUDE SERVICE!!!ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING!!!NEVER COMING BACK!!!!!!

Extremely disappointed….Went yesterday around 9pm and we already had reserved a table and requested the sofa section however first they tried to give a middle table which would not be convenient for handling a baby along trying to enjoy a meal when requesting one table with the sofa section a miserable waiter said it was reserved and we had to go to the reception so we can get the seating requested.We were given the food menu only and we had request the drinks menu.We ordered 2 x 2 pappadoms with sauce tray and they served all pappadoms in one plate instead of two plates.The starters had not dressing of any sort such as coriander sprinkled on top or any other sort.The mains were completely inedible as there were tons of chillies including the biryani.The waiter seemed like he didn’t like us and his treatment was despicable.This is the second occasion where the treatment at Tipu Sultan was astonishing.

Came for dinner with some friends, and this was my second time visiting. The food was great however the service was very slow. On several occasions we were ignored. When asked for water and the bill it never came until we asked again. We were often left between meals waiting a while and trying to get waiters attention and unfortunately the waiters all seemed miserable.The food was lovely however and we enjoyed our dishes greatly. Just a shame on the service this time round. The first time I visited the service was just as amazing as the food!

Visited with family for a new year's dinner, this place has the best ambience and lovely decor.Have been here before but the food failed to impress.We ordered, Chilli Paneer and Chilli Mogo - Both soaked in sauces with pieces of paneer and mogo, peppers, didnt have any flavour at all apart from the chilli sauce taste.Sultani Lamb Chops - Too hard and chewy.Toofani Paneer - I am aware this is a spicy dish, but this time it was unbearably spicy, there is a difference to adding spice and throwing a load of chilli powder on to a dish, think the second happened here. Again no flavour at all.Lamb Sultani gravy - Good.Lamb Biriyani - Ok.Chocolate heaven cake - Very good.Staff were lovely as usual, good, prompt service. Won't be visiting again though as the food gave me stomach cramps.

Nice, well spiced food. Surprisingly affordable too, due to the large portions. Great service as well.Came here again, same wonderful food and even bigger

Asked for no onion or peppers due to my allergy which was told not an issue then received a starter which was garnished with onion and peppers!Poor service and rude staff if you have a food allergy don't go here!Added extra starters over double that weren't even ordered!

Great dining experience! Loved the decor and the service was brilliant, staff were friendly and very attentive . Food was brought out very quickly. Could tell it was all fresh, everything tasted amazing and the portions were massive! Definitely get a lot for your money. Took half of it home and it will last another couple of meals!Ordered a jug of mango lassi, which was fresh, not out of a bottle, fish pakoras and lamb chops, ghosht biriani, one of the lamb curries, garlic and keema naan (they were proper sized naan), mango and passion fruit cheesecake and gulab jamun, which were hot with ice cream. All the food was amazing.The one negative is that they call it majestic, but most of the guys, customers, were in jogging bottoms and trainers, some were wearing baseball caps. A recommendation is to impliment a dress code befitting the place. It's a bit odd when the waiting staff are in white shirts wearing ties, the venue is so beautiful, and a lot of the customers look like they've just come from the gym.Parking: Private parking and they have a parking attendent who helps you get a spot

Went to Tipu Sultan, after a year. We ordered the sultani meat platter, masala fries, hyderabadi ghosht and garlic naan.The starters priced over £25 but what u get is not worth price or the taste. The chicken tandoori and lamb seekh were nice but rest was just ok.The Hyderabadi Ghosht was disappointing (sorry did not take a photo) the meat had a bad after taste and portion was quite small for £14. Naan and fries were normal.I know its inflation and prices have to go up, but its disappointing when quality and taste does not match up to the what you are paying.Service and ambience were good, also ample parking space as they have their own car parkIts very difficult to find a consistent Indian/Pakistani food restaurant in Leicester. one day will be great next will be quite poor. Please do let me know if you know of one that is consistent.

Wow, this is a must place when in and around Leicester. Amazing atmosphere, great service and very very tasty-spicy food.
Awful & slow service despite the restaurant being empty during the day. Manager needs more service training. He started to argue with me and then did not have the decency to apologise. Very quick to take money though!Won’t be coming again

This is our second visit and we invited guests from South Africa. We were looked after by Joseph this time around. There was 8 in our group and I asked Joseph to suggest a menu. Everything from the lamb chops, tikkas, fried okra to the mains i.e. Karachi & butter chicken, Hyderabad style lamb, daal, naans and rice...everything was spot on. Service was fast and efficient. Food was tasty as ever. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Nice clean restaurant offering good size portions and flavourful food. Service was good. They haven’t got much variety of soft drinks or fresh juices though. Spacious dining area. Loved the fact that restaurant had dedicated prayer rooms for men and women.

My first taste of Indian food - will def try more going by what Tipu offered. Lovely restaurant for a family meal

I found the food here quite underwhelming. The starters were nice enough, nothing to write home about. However, the main dishes of saag aloo & ghost were both not well cooked, and the ghost was dry; the chicken curry was very bog standard, so nothing set it apart from any other chicken curry. Desert was good. Wouldn’t visit again.
