Such a cute friendly place to hang out. I was so impressed with the food. Paneer tikka wrap and glass of mango lassi. The glass is a proper punjabi glass size hence the comparison to my hand photo. Staff are so nice and friendly. Look forward to going back again soon and trying something else. Highly recommend 👌

After salted lassis we ordered sholay bathora (chickpea curry with fried naan), desi special chaat and carrot salad. The curry was a small portion, it’d be good to be able to order a larger bowl. The fresh chilli was a nice touch. The carrot salad was a great accompaniment. For desserts we ordered kulfi and halwa which were disappointing. The kulfi was supposedly pistachio but tasted more like almond, coloured bright green.

Arriving in Leicester from Canada, this is by far the best Desi food I’ve had here. I bought two vegetable samosas last week and they were crispy, flavourful and seasoned perfectly. I came back here today and ordered the Panjabi Breakfast and the Pav Meal Deal. The aloo parantha reminded me of home and came with pickle, yogurt and chaa. It was big enough for two people. The star meal though was the Pav Meal Deal: 2 pavs with chips and a soft drink. I got a Paneer Samosa Pav and classic Vada Pav. It was crispy, buttery, spicy and all the unique flavours came through together so nicely. Portions were also quite big; I ended up taking home leftovers. The owners were so pleasant to talk to and made the whole experience a 10/10.

Very authentic Indian food is served right here. As an international student this place made me remember the food made by mom back home in india. I have tried other places too but nothing can compare to this!!!!!!!❣️❣️❣️❣️ P.s:- I had Aloo parantha with Chai, and a Bombay street sandwich.

Really nice Desi/Indian street food eatery in a quiet part of Leicester, but only 7 or 8 mins walk from the main shopping area in the City. Authentic decor and vibe. Good selection of menu items at a reasonable price. Staff are attentive and efficient. Karack chai was a nice accompaniment with the food. Would definitely go again when in Leicester

Delicious Paneer Samosa Chaat, washed down with a Karak Chai. High quality food, friendly service. Great decor. Very authentic recipes and atmosphere. I'll be back

The food was lip-smacking good. We ordered variety of dishes and the service was quite quick. Really warm and friendly staff. It is a small and cosy cafe for light meals or evening snacks. I would highly recommend Karak Chai!!! #mumbaistreetfood 😍

What a terrible experience we had at Desi Street Food Leicester. We decided to go to this restaurant after reading the reviews. We order a few things like Pani Puri and chaat. Since it's a Punjabi restaurant, I was excited to order Sholay Puri, but it took about 30 minutes to get the food, and when I got it, I found Big PLASTIC in the chickpea curry. After I informed the owner, he was so rude and said it happens. This is not a restaurant I would recommend not eating at or even going to. They have horrible customer service, and I think the reviews they have on Google are all PAID reviews, not real ones. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE ! I have added the PICTURES of PLASTIC! They don't care of hygiene or customer ...

Went here for lunch this afternoon and had a paneer samosa wrap with chips, this is going to fill me up till 6 or 7, so yummy! Lovely atmosphere inside too, brightly coloured Indian hangings. Defo going again! ❤️

My partner and I ordered some starters for our engagement party last weekend and the service was professional from start to finish. Sukh really took care of us, and the food was delicious! We had so many compliments on the food! We would highly recommend!!

I’ve been here twice now, following a trip to India, and I will definitely be back. The pav bhaji is on a par with the best I tried in Mumbai, and the samosa chaat is phenomenal. Really lovely little place that has recently done well in the 2022 Leicester Curry Awards. Have recommended it to friends and family.

Stopped by on my way to London and followed reviews.. they are spot on! Delicious and affordable. I highly recommend it!

Wow experience..what a lovely food. We visit Desi Street food today as I was craving for authentic Indian Street food. We ordered chole bhatura, bread pakoras, dahi puri chat and limbu pani. All the food was excellent in taste , presentation of food and the service . They made everything on the spot. Each items were piping hot. We would recommend to everyone who wants to taste Indian Street food. Definitely going back again and again. Thanks very much lovely ladies for great food and experience ❤️😍

We went to meet my cousin first time in Leicester. We tried food here which was our first restaurant in Leicester. We ordered punjabi paratha, chat n all was really nice in taste. Owner and Staff was really friendly. We really enjoyed food. Highly recommend. Thank you all.

Omg the food is absolutely banging! Tastes just like home. So if you want none of this processed rubbish and simple good food.... This is the one! Thank you and I will be coming back again and again!

Yet another great place to eat in Leicester. A reassuringly small menu of vegetarian and vegan dishes means that they have the time and opportunity to get things right. Everything we've had here has been excellent. Looking forward to returning next time I'm in the city.

Bhel and mango were fantastic. I don’t even usually like pomegranate seeds but it went really well with the bhel. Especially great on a humid day! Owners and staff were really friendly too!

We discovered this wonderful place whilst walking into Leicester town centre from the carpark. We had the paneer spring rolls with a mint dip as a takeaway order. I can honestly say they were delicious. The staff are very friendly and the sit in dining area is really comfortable and feels really welcoming. We will definitely return for more delicious food on our next trip into Leicester.

The food tastes good, and the ambience nice, cleanliness is fine. However, it is not for those who are in any way carb conscious. I came away hungry and felt that Street Food was in reality a code word for small portions (unless you like filling up on white bread, which I do not). I would preferred to have been given more a generous portion of what is actually a cheap to produce vegetable curry and perhaps some rice. If I go again I will do so knowing that it is a light lunch and not a healthy option as I had hoped.

No bad please for vegetarian place nice food good customer service would recommend

Visited from London. Highly recommended. Satisfied with the food and service. Polite and friendly. Fresh delicious Indian Street food. I am a meat eater but now have been introduced to vegetarian and vegan dishes. I would definitely come here again. Ideal for lunch time. Perfect snack and a taste of India on your doorstep.

I went here for the first time with my sisters the other day after driving past a couple of times. The food had exceeded my expectations🤯 We had mango lassi, 2 with plant based yogurt and 1 without and it was so delicious and authentic. My sister ordered a Bombay sandwich and personally I’m not a fan of sandwiches. However, she made me try it and let me tell you, this will be the only sandwich I’ll eat. The flavours in the food were astounding 👏🏽 And the only problem was the extremely rude customer before us who complained about plastic being in his food (I’m sure he put it there himself) as himself and two other men were threatening the owner serving them. The owner didn’t argue back and was listening to them. I’m certain the customers wanted the food for free as the things they were saying to him were shocking. The rest of his family were sitting there and paying no attention. It all seemed a little to planned out to us. I decided to keep this in the review as I saw that he left a review himself that wasn’t true at all. Happy to support 🙏🏽 I shall be bringing my family here!
