    Holy heaven what a beautiful place to eat. Traditional Desi tea after two attempts to find some in Leicester that were clearly teabags. Very pleased to be greeted with utmost hospitality. The menus perfect. I was trying to avoid the usual English/Indian food, so I looked for Pakistani or Desi foods. Punjabi styles. Food superb. This is the place! 11 out of 10.

    Really awesome! I came here for my birthday and loved it!! The curry may not be as spicy as i would like but it is still nice. I ordered the chicken nachos and it was a bomber, i so recommended this place whether for family or friends still an awesome place. You can get upto 8 people on 1 table. Pretty awesome huh?

    Beautiful Lamb Karahi! Authentic Pakistani Cuisine! Even though we came in before closing time, we were welcomed happily and was not pressured or rushed at all through out our meal. Look forward to coming again! In Sha Allah! :)

    We booked ahead for the 3 of us. Alhamdulilah, the service and food was lovely. One of the best Indians we have had. The sizzler for 2 was really nice, as was the biryani and Karahi lamb. The portion size was big. I would definitely recommend this place. A place that we will definitely go back to. Oh, do take cash as they don't accept card.

    We went to Pamson Grill after nearly a year. Our previous experience was not so good, but this time food was great. We had the mix grill, Chicken tikka bihari boti, Chicken nachos, Lamb karahi, butter chicken l. masala chips and Papri Chaat. The mix grill had a good variety of meats. all cooked to perfection and had the right level of spice. Chicken bihari both was a first I've seen in the UK. Last I tasted was in Karachi. It wasn't as good as Karachi, however it was very good for UK standards Butter chicken was nice. Creamy texture and sweet taste. Lamb Karahi was the best, meat was tender and went well with the fresh naan. Chicken Nachos were ok, just standard. Masala Chips were good, but a little too spicy. Papri Chaat was lovely, had the right flavours. Overall very good experience would love to go back. Maybe last time we went was just a bad day, Was complaining last week that there is no good place for indian/Pakistani food in Leicester. Well now I don't need to look elsewhere. Pamson Grill is the place.

    Latest review - went and waited for half an hour just to be told that the dish is over! Went to the restaurant 1 hour before closing and ordered a curry and nan. We waited over half an hour. When asked about our order, 2 waiters told us that it'll be ready in 2 mins. Then the third time the guy came to us apologising that the dish is over!! Disappointment. Perhaps the management should look into what's going on in the kitchen. Very good Pakistani cuisine served here. The portion sizes were great, and the prices were reasonable too. The staff were friendly, and good at explaining about the dish and portion sizes. Only downside is that they accept only cash.

    Booked ahead for a Saturday evening family of 5, the service wasn't great as we were just pointed to our table. We ordered the mixed platter for 4 and Nahari. The mixed platter was really tasty and has the wow factor but the nahari was a huge disappointment it has failed our expectations. It was more like a Turkish lamb shank soup very bland and hardly any taste to it. I took it up with the manger and they offered us another main dish however upon paying there was no additional discount offered as an apology Instead we were charged the full price of the replacement dish which was more pricey than the Nahari that we had ordered. The whole experience of visiting this restaurant hasn't been pleasant and has left a sour taste in my mouth. THIS IS A CASH ONLY establishment.

    It was a pleasant surprise to visit this restaurant. The taste of food was authentic Pakistani style. We had Lamb karahi and mixed grill. The naans and roti were served warm and fresh. The ambience gave a very posh feel, although it only cost around 20 pounds per person. They could improve by including tea, qahwa, or hot drinks in their menu. Secondly, we had to go out in cold weather to get some cash as it was cash only. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Genuinely one of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited in Leicester. Every single food item we ordered was fresh and tasted full of flavour, with just the right amount of spicy. Prices are reasonable and so worth the portion sizes, not to mention the staff was extremely hospitable, especially Umer who was really attentive and offered us a great service. Will definitely be returning!

    The food was delicious, both in terms of quality and quantity. I thoroughly enjoyed it during my entire trip. In Leicester, I liked only this restaurant for its vegetarian food; the taste was amazing. I tried many restaurants, but this one stands out. My guest also enjoyed the non-veg food, and he was quite happy as well.

    Visited this place with family to celebrate my boys birthday. I have tried this place a few years back and loved it . We ordered the mix grill which was amazing! Butter Chicken didn't enjoy the flavours and have had better. Biryani hardly had any chicken in it at all and was mainly rice. Chicken korma was decent and the lamb curry was okay too. I wasn't wowed by the food like before I definately see the standard have dropped and the flavours are not as good as before. Would I visit again I'm not too sure. I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected. Besides the mix grill I wouldn't go back for anything else unfortunately. Service was good though.

    Lovely food and excellent service. It's a cash only payment option, which is not convenient and outdated.

    Authentic pakistani food, really enjoyed every dish. Portions are very big but if you don't like your food too spicy specify that you want it mild
