    Ordered fillet burger meal without a drink. I have to have a drink with it. Can’t have the meal without a drink. The fries were re fried. Rock hard. The chicken burger was dry as anything. Had to use ketchup to rehydrate the chicken fillet. The milkshakes we ordered were warm and cheap tasting like they only used one piece of kinder bueno in it. Avoid this place if you don’t Want to be disappointed.

    very bad customer service.i tried their foods before because food was taesty.but today i have very bad experience.i was hungry and in rush.they said me it will takes only 10mins and kept me waiting for half an hour.still food was not ready.there were enough staffs(nearly4/5) and they were laughing and talking each other.it was not even busy.their behaviour was very unprofessional and they returned my money after half an hours of waiting.actually they were too busy to watch a lady customer who was probably drunk and entertaining them.very disappointing. 20/05/2022 time 21.50-22.25pm

    As i was waiting for my meal to be prepared, I saw the Indian fellow throw cooked fries back into the fryer and I told him I don't want those fries with my meal, if he could make fresh fries to go with my burger meal and he asked "Why? There's nothing wrong with them", and i insisted he make fresh fries. I felt so disgusted that he was unaware of the health implications of consuming re-fried food. It's also probably one of the reasons their fries are rock hard, chewy and tasteless. They are meant to be soft and a little crispy. They give you a very little amount, the size of your hand (paid £7 for the meal). Also the double peri chicken burger that I ordered was hard, dry & tasteless, it wasn't succulent nor fresh tasting, had to down it with a fizzy drink. Will not be returning here nor recommending this place to family or friends.

    Used to be the best peri place in Leicester, now it's merely average. They made a change recently and literally nothing is the same, the chips, the buns, the chicken, the mayo, all of it is different and honestly inferior. The only thing this recent change managed to improve is the packaging, which now comes in a neat little cardboard box.

    I ordered a large box of egg fried rice, masala chips, spicy crispy chicken and hot garlic prawns with some cheesy masala chips and vegetables spring rolls. The uber eats delivered on time, the food was hot and I was very satisfied with the flavours.

    Its been 3 years in UK and their Manchurian is the best one I ever had. Love the taste and the size portion is also good. Would recommend Noodles Manchurian combo. the service is great and they take care of any special requests.

    I would highly recommend Chicken tikka Biriyani to all biriyani enthusiasts looking for a satisfying and delicious meal. Whether you're dining in or getting a takeaway, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit if you're craving a flavorful biriyani.

    Ordered on Uber eats I kept it simple with chicken tikka biryani I’ve had it before but this time the flavours and taste and freshness of the food was amazing . And portion was filling enough for one person. Needs more raitha with the biryani but overall really tasty.

  • 5/5 P A. 4 months ago on Google
    I ordered a Lamb Biriyani through Ubereats. The portion size for the price is fantastic. The taste is also great. I may have missed the part on ubereats about the biryani being on the bone but no big deal for me there. However, as good as the biriyani was, if I may suggest that you give more raita as biryani was full and fantastic but raita was 20ml which barely does anything. For context other restaurants use same container for poppadom chutneys. But keep up the great work. Can't wait to try other items.

    Ubereats, food was bland, egg fried rice had no egg, tastes like Indian pilau rice. Chicken has no taste, poor food, go to a proper place for authentic Chinese food.

    Five stars for the staff Five stars for the amazing chicken tikka biryani Five stars for the noodles with chicken Manchuria and chicken 65. The quality of ingredients and rice was just A grade. Keep it up. This seems like hyderabadi food but couldn’t get any clear confirmation from the cashier. Great experience and will definitely come back. Note: this is a halal restaurant

  • 1/5 Jay K. 1 year ago on Google
    25 minutes for a cold burger and chips. Doesn’t make sense. Not delivery, eat in!!!! Complete rip off. Save your money and don’t give business like this your hard earned cash. The shop was empty at 1:30 lunch time. Says it all.

  • 1/5 Mendozyn 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered two boxes, no sauces of any kind, it didn't taste good at all because it was too salty, I waited 25 minutes for the food. 13f can be said that I threw it in the trash

  • 1/5 Shiuli W. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was really bad. The chicken was hard so was the rice. Not edible. Had to throw it in the bin. First and last time I will be ordering from this place. What a waste of money.
