Mithaas Restaurant

Definitely one of our favourite Indian restaurants in Leicester - we visit at least once a month since finding it! Also, vegan items are clearly marked with a green V with great variety of foods on offer! Location is very busy and parking isn't great, so recommend parking on the residential side street and paying for parking (cheap and only need to pay until 6pm). When you enter the restaurant, immediately you'll see the mithai (sweets) and savoury snacks counters. Theres a wide variety of mithai such as different types of penda, barfi, halwo, kaju katli, jalebi etc. Also a great range of savoury snacks including samosas, spring rolls, kachori, dhokla, onion bhaji, battered whole stuffed chillis, bateta vada, battered potato slices, spinach pakoras, Patra, khandvi etc Prices are very reasonable (e.g veg samosas and kachori are 50p each!). These counters are busy as the food is good quality and freshly made on site.

The restaurant is simple and clean, again very busy and popular which is a testament to the great variety of food on offer. Don't expect posh plates and cutlery and all that faff - the food is the showstopper!

Bollywood music plays very quietly, it could be turned up just a little bit too create a nicer atmosphere (not a big problem!)

On the dining menu is full range of Starters - samosa, bhajis, etc Chaat (Indian street food) - Pani Puri, sev Puri, aloo tikki chaat, dahi vada etc Sizzlers - paneer dishes, tandoori mogo etc, South Indian - variety of dosa, uttapam and idli Indo-Chinese - chilli mushroom/paneer/aubergine, noodles and manchurian etc Lots of Vegetable and paneer curries Good selection of rice, breads, parathas. Variety of drinks including juices, lassis, beers

Prices and portions sizes are very reasonable - for example: one soft drink, one beer, 2 starters & 3 mains, bill roughly £35.

Service is polite and not overly fussy, but can get slower during busy periods. Also recommend booking, as tables are often reserved.

Highly recommend visiting here for a true taste of India as the range of food is superb. We always really enjoy our visits and end up both eating too much food and bringing lots of snacks home to enjoy!

Thank you Mithaas, we will see you again soon!
