Maryland Chicken is one of the better fried chicken outlets in Leicester. The two main things it…read morehas going for it is its prices; they do some exceptional meal deals, with the cheapest being a ridiculously cheap £1.99 to other options for under £3.50. When you compare what you would pay at KFC for a similar meal deal, you would be paying double in most cases. Maryland Chicken is not only cheaper but I have found the quality to be just as good as more expensive fried chicken outlets (including KFC). There are plenty of options, including some delicious spicey chicken options. It can get busy here at peak times and at weekends, due to the popularity of the place, but turnaround is always very quick and even at the busiest times I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes. In terms of price and quality, Maryland chicken is hard to beat. In these difficult economic times, Maryland Chicken is the perfect place for all you credit crunch hit fried chicken enthusiasts!

Although not the best of the million and five chicken joints in Leicester, this place beats the…read morehell out of KFC in that its spicey food options are actually spicey and it doesn't cost you the earth. A wide variety of meal deals are at your disposal and essentially you can get a family meal for pretty much the same as a large KFC. The staff are hardworking and generally friendly, the portions are ace and they don't charge you extra for a sachet of mayonnaise. Leicester's chicken places are legendary, there are so many and many are halal, so if you've not been to Leicester before you really should try one. A chicken fillet burger, loads of fries and a can for £1.99? Yes please, m'laddo. You only live once.

The institute is quite simplya cheaper version of KFC and it seems to definately be doing the trick. The outlet is incredibly small and I felt very choked for air as we vbattled through the crowds but the staff handled it exceptionally well still managing to serve you with a smile and a bit of conversation. The prices are extremely good and whilst one might think the food was dodgy it actually tastes wonderful. I wouldn't eat there everyday because I do without a lunchtime flattening but its definately a place worth checking out when you're in Leicester.

I'd say the steak is even better than that of Toros. And it comes in a box with salad and fries! It's soft, tasty and peppery; all you want in a steak.

They serve traditional and wholsome bengali/indian food. You can buy a meal for two for about £5. The servings are very generous and will definitely fill you up. The staff are friendly too and often add a complimentary extra to the order.

If you're new to this they're usually pretty helpful in guiding you to the right solution, and they're also quick. The way it works is fairly simple; you ask for what you want in your box (up to two types of curry, two types of filler and chutney). For example, you might want chicken tandoori and lamb rogan josh with rice and naan bread and the sweet chutney. They put it into a box, stratifying the contents (so it goes rice then lamb then naan then chicken then chutney, usually) and you go home and eat it. You can get any one of three sizes for £4 to £6, and there are other combos and options too. As a bonus, if you live out near Evington they've just opened a branch that opens late!

Let me tell you about my worst experience from Nandos ever. I've been a massive advocate of Nandos…read morefor over 15 years and could have easily spent more then £20000 at various stores. I ordered my food today at 1:45 and understood there would be a 30/40 minute delivery. I accepted the additional time as I literally live 2 maybe 300 meters away. I got the notification saying my order was out for delivery and seeing that the rider hadn't moved for 20 minutes I figured there could be something wrong I hit the call rider button and here is a summary of what happened. - called driver, driver said he never worked for Nandos or deliveroo - I called Nandos customer service, 1st girl hung up, 2nd person the call failed and the 3rd person dealt with my query. - Eriksen the 3rd agent, offered a refund of £6, which is poor seeing as the food arrived cold and half the contents were spilled in the bag Or the wrappers were ripped. - the driver who delivered at 3.05pm apologised and said he only just got the order and apologised for the ripped outer bag. All in all this has to be the worst experience I've ever had at any restaurant. At least at McDonald's or kfc you expect some poor service as they are priced accordingly, but Nandos talk about a rolls Royce level priced product and deliver a Skoda. I paid £50-60 for cold food, ripped bags on the corn on a cob and spilled chips and then Eriksen offered me £6. I'm sorry if you think that's good enough but it ain't. On the call I told Eriksen don't bother delivering the food and give me a full refund and it was obvious when the delivery driver arrived you pushed someone else's order to the side to get this over and charge for an absolute dog hit dinner. Now I have my nieces looking at me thinking this is what Nandos is all about. Yes I do want compensation, what you delivered was probably good for a homeless person (and that's no putting down homeless people) but when you pay that sum of money for absolute tripe I expect nothing but a full refund. Please let me know what you will be offering. Genuinely can't believe what you have delivered today and the level of excuses, the hang ups and the lies you have told me. It's so beneath you that it's shocked me.

This branch of Nando's is in a good position in Leicester, it is located a few minutes walk away…read morefrom the King Power Stadium, home to Leicester City Football Club, it is also in a decent complex which includes a cinema. I called in here after watching Manchester City's excellent performance, in which we defeated Leicester City 2-0, wanting to get some food after the game after the not so decent selection inside the stadium its-self while waiting for the traffic around the stadium to go down. If you're lucky, you might find a match programme or two which someones left behind, which I did, which was a hand souvenir worth £3.50 each. As expected, it does seem to get slightly busy on match-days, so perhaps this store could do with some sort of expansion as it isn't of a large enough nature in my opinion to satisfy the potential demand. The staff did seem nice enough, and the service time was average, my food took about 20 minutes to arrive which was usual for other branches, quite decent considering I visited straight after the match ended, without having to wait for a table either. The quality of my food was OK - the mash tasted like your standard frozen, cheap mash you'd get from certain places but the rest of it was okay, the portion of chips was decent and they did taste fresh and not preheated, the chicken was cooked to satisfactory level however their was a slight amount of excess sauce. This is pretty much your average branch of Nando's, it isn't a fantastic branch, nor is it a terrible one either, some aspects to improve could be to increase the amount of seating, perhaps try to reduce the service time down a little and to slightly improve the quality of all menu items from a satisfactory level to a good/excellent one in terms of the chicken and a drastically improved one, in regards to the "creamy mash", introducing free wi-fi to this store would also be a bonus for when the signal is quite dreadful, which is often the case on a match-day with so many people trying to use it at once - but overall this branch is decent/satisfactory in a handy location to warrant a three-star rating.
