Blue Peter Doon Spice — Restaurant in England

Honestly, if I could give more than 10 stars, I would. Recently, I organised my wife’s 40th birthday party and I just have to say, the service we received was beyond amazing. From the first day we spoke to Sumit (the event planner), right until the moment we left the venue, he was with us every step of the way.

Sumit didn’t just plan the event — he literally guided us through everything step-by-step, making sure nothing was missed. He explained all the food options included in the package clearly, and also fully handled the decorations, which was a massive help for me because I had absolutely no time to run around before the event. He even took care of the drinks and desserts, and arranged freezer space for the cake since I dropped it off in advance. That kind of thoughtfulness made everything so smooth.

What stood out to me the most was how regularly he checked in with us — always making sure we were okay, if we needed anything, if we had any changes. He kept communication going from start to finish, and on the actual day, he was present and looking after the guests, food, setup — everything — without a single interruption or issue. I didn’t have to stress about anything. There was more than enough food, no shortages, and everything ran so well.

And let me talk about the food — it was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. All my guests were raving about the starters, some of them said they were already full but still pushed through for the mains and desserts because it was just that good. Everyone was happy, the vibes were great, and it all came down to the way Sumit had handled everything.

Without any doubt at all, I’ve already recommended this place and Sumit to my friends and family, and to anyone who’s looking for a stress-free, well-organised event with top-quality food. I’m already planning to come back next week for a family meal, and we've even decided to make it a regular thing now because of the experience we had.

Try them — seriously — you...

I went to eat here after about 3 years and the standard has dropped... Customer service... The atmosphere is rowdy full of drunken men including the owner, shocking how the owner thinks he can behave like this?? This is a bar with a eating area for people to enjoy not so they feel on edge whilst eating their food. The food is not as nice at it used to be. We ordered two separate dishes but they both were cooked in the same masala. I came here with my partner and child and felt it was very noisy, boys shouting and the owner just kept swearing. Other People that were sat on tables looked nervous who were sitting quietly eating.... It Truly has become a unprofessional desi bar/restaurant.

I definitely won't be coming here again....

I also know of a few others who don't visit this restaurant anymore.

The owner can't control the thugs that come in let alone...

If you’re after proper Indian food, Blue Peter Doon Spice in Leicester is where you need to be. The fact that the local Asian community regularly packs this place out says it all.

This isn’t about flashy decor or gimmicks—it’s about serious food. The chilli paneer was on another level, with just the right kick of heat, and the prawns were absolutely spot on—fresh, tender, and loaded with flavour. We had a decent-sized group, so we went for the large barbecue sizzler sharing platter, which you can see in the photos. Trust me, it was a feast worth remembering.

The spices and flavours here are exactly what you’d expect from top-tier Indian cuisine. Fresh ingredients, bold seasoning, and generous portions—no shortcuts. It’s the kind of food that sets the bar for everything else.

If you’re in Leicester and looking for authentic, no-nonsense Indian food, this...
