Came to leister for the diwali festival but not much going on tonite. Got a recommendation for…read morethus restaurant from shuttle driver so gave it a try. Its a bit further down the main road but worth the walk. The owner was so gracious he recommended a few dishes and even prepared one for us we hadn't ordered which was our fav..chilli chicken. The special Naan was so good it was almost like eating dessert. Wasn't too crowded just a steady stream of people and lots of take out pick ups. Will see come back when we are in Leicester again.

Do not under any account go to this restaurant if you like a curry after 12 pints of lager. Don't…read morego if your idea of Indian food is eye wateringly hot chicken phal, nor if you like blood red Tikka Massala. This is, to its loyal and discerning followers, by a considerable distance the best Indian food that you will find in Leicester. Family run, by a gujarati family displaced from Kenya more than 30 years ago, it conforms to the highest standards. I have been going there for 15 years and can say, with total honesty, that I have never had a bad meal. With the wonderfully courteous Dinesh looking after the 40 cover restaurant, which has been recently fully refurbished, and brother Ashok masterminding the cooking, a visit is more akin to a visit to an exclusive dining club than your regular curry house. Meat, fish and vegetarian options are imaginatively and stylishly prepared and served, and Ashok will happily cook to order if your particular favourite is not on the extensive menu. This place does not get awards, or feature in guides because it doesn't need to. The do not need to solicit cheap publicity. Beloved by Leicester's Indian and English communities alike, it is a good idea to book because it can be packed - and not always only on Friday and Saturday. I cannot recommend highly enough, because if you want a truly high quality meal (not the cheapest, but that should not be an issue) then this is the one. With starters, sweets and a few beers, it can run to thirty or forty pounds a head. But it is money well spent.

The Ellora Indian restaurant is one of the very best Indian restaurant in Knowle, in fact Solihull…read morefor that matter. The waiters are very professional, polite, always happy to help. Hakim the manager engages with the customer to see what they like and is always happy to assist you. We have been going to the Ellora for over a year and all of the waiters know us and what we like. Shahid who normally takes our order rarely has to change as we have the same meal week in week out because it's so good and he remembers our order so well. The food is well, how can u put it, superb! there has rarely been occasion when the food has had an off week and had a slight and I put emphasis on slight fall in standards (I think this was due to a change in supplier) but has since well excelled its usual expectations we go to the Ellora every Tuesday and Friday personally I have the chicken tikka bhuna (I know this isn't very hot) but has bags of taste. The bar while I'm currently underage by two years, the bar is fully stocked and they offer Cobra as their main beer and an special beer cider which accompanies curries. Plus wines and spirits. The restaurant is open till 3am if busy if not they usually close around 11-1am that region. However weekends are their peak they usually get buisy on a Friday night so I'd book if I were you. Just phone them up and tell them you'd like to book etc. The curry house is situated next to a popular pub and hotel on Knowle high street I would fully recommend this to any person looking for a meal in Knowle
