Asli Zaiqa — Restaurant in England

Asli Zaiqa in Leicester stands as a beacon of authentic Pakistani cuisine, especially for those craving a taste of home. Their breakfast offerings are a delightful journey through the flavors of Pakistan. The channy (chickpeas), nihari (slow-cooked meat stew), and paye (trotters) are cooked to perfection, brimming with traditional spices and aromas that transport you to the bustling streets of Lahore or Karachi.

The star of the show, however, is their Halwa Puri. This classic Pakistani breakfast dish is arguably the best in town, balancing the sweet halwa with perfectly fried, fluffy puris. The quality, coupled with reasonable prices, makes Asli Zaiqa my go-to spot for a Desi breakfast experience. Only when suggestion, always ask the waitress to read back your order to make sure, they have written down correctly what you are ordering.

While I haven’t ventured into their English breakfast options, their extensive menu caters to diverse tastes. For those looking to explore more of their offerings, Asli Zaiqa also hosts a Pakistani Halal buffet from 5-10 pm, which I am eagerly looking forward to trying. This place is a must-visit for anyone in Leicester seeking authentic Pakistani flavors at...

My first and last time here. One of the worst experiences I’ve had with my family. I ordered a chicken curry with 2 roti and it came like this (see picture) the worker practically picked it off a table that someone finished and gave it to me. There was no meat in it. When I confronted the guy he went to kitchen and made another one. The roti that came with curry was cold. When asked why they’re cold he said “wanted to bring food altogether” The breakfast 3 puri , halwa was actually ok and hot.

Very rude service from the guy when said roti is cold and chicken curry that had NO CHICKEN.

I’m not coming here again and if anyone wants to stop themselves wasting money and possibly having an upset stomach. I recommend you...

I recently hosted my daughter and Son birthday party at ASLI ZAIQA, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The service was impeccable from start to finish.

They truly made this special day unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for...
