Chef's Flavour Glenfield — Restaurant in Blaby

Had dinner reservation at this restaurant on a Friday and really had a great family evening out. Liked that as soon as we sat down, they placed 3 generous sized poppadoms and a trio of chutneys. The onion/ chilli chutney was great, also a fan of the tamarind one but not too sure of the mint/ coriander as it was super bright green in color.

Dish-wise it’s 5 stars for the Aubergine starter! Deliciously umami flavors and a dish to convert folks who aren’t into aubergines.

Very nice servers (Sushil & Jyoti) and the Owner/Chef come out towards end of the meal to check the meal went well.

I had lamb curry on the bone and it was super delicious. My brother’s chicken curry tasted super home-cooked. Absolutely lovely vegetarian biryani (although am not a fan of coloured rice) and roti as well! The food was hearty and delicious in taste.

We split the two desserts that are made in-house, the carrot halwa and the gulab jamun. My mum really liked the halwa and I liked the gulab jamun as it wasn’t overtly sweet.

Overall lovely meal and service, definitely...

If you like even the mildest of spice/ heat I advise against dining here. We ordered 3 dishes one being a madras, tika massala, and a prawn dish. We were asked if we wanted it spicy and we chose spicy for all 3.The curry's all tasted nice but with hardly any hint of spice at all !! I likened it to earing a stew or goulash. The madras was far milder than the tika, if it could have gotten any milder that is... how can this be from an Indian restaurant? I think they may have ran out of chilli's or something 🤔. We did find a chilli in one of the dishes so decided to add a bit of spice to our palette by eating it on its own and it was a dried chilli and even that had no spice or heat to it. Pickle tray was also weird.. There was a luminous ( don't know what to call it) but I think it was yogurt with green food colouring and a dash of mint essence.? Will not be eating here again unless I fancy stew and rice 😅 The staff we very friendly and attentive though and I am sure they would have rectified things had I have asked but my son...

I don't generally do reviews. But this is the second time for Chefs Flavour. My first was a month ago, to say how good the food was and hopefully not just a one off. Sorry to say that it probably was. As ordered another takeaway last night and we were both really disappointed with the main courses. To the extent, that my wife didn't even eat hers, with a very odd taste. Both dishes were very bland, unlike the first review that I posted.Where the mains had so much flavour and spices. Not sure if it comes down to which chef,...
