Momma's Kitchen is nestled among the cafes and boutique shops on Allandale Road. The restaurant is a hidden gem serving a lunchtime and dinner menu. The lunchtime menu is served until 5pm. The lunchtime menu is a reduced menu but don't let that pit you off there are many dishes to choose from including light bites, burgers, and barbeque kebabs and specials. It doesn't include curries or Biryanis.
Nitin, owner of this son and mother team (the Momma in Momma's Kitchen) Was a really nice, friendly and genuine individual. He explained that everything served on the menu was made with an authentic home style taste.
We ordered a combination of light bites and items from the grilled section. The tandoori and cheese toastie was full of tandoori chicken each bite guaranteed to have a generous amount of brilliantly spiced chicken. Would make an ideal light lunch item.
We also got the grilled lemon lamb chops. These were amazing. The spices of the marination and the distinct zingy lemon flavor were made for a very unique flavour. The lamb chops are highly recommend and are cooked to perfection.
We also got a chicken tikka grilled kebab on a naan with salad and chips. Again the spices on the chicken tikka were on point.
For dessert which I would highly recommend we had Rass Malai milk cake which we shared.
We also got karak chai which I think absolutely amazing the tea was very flavorful and wasn't over sweetened again would highly recommend this to conclude your meal.
Overall we had a very good experience and would recommend this hidden gem. It's not like other Indian restaurants in Leicester and the seeking point of this establishment is the home style dishes along with a brilliant...
Read moreI was extremely disappointed having travelled all the way from Loughborough to collect my food. The chicken jhalfrazi was ok, that’s about as positive as it gets. The sheek kebab was thrown straight in the bin, it’s was burnt (I mean seriously not fit for consumption) and I wasn’t about to take any risks, someone in the kitchen must be responsible for quality assurance, I would be ashamed to serve what I received. I also ordered the wings online but was told it was unavailable (to be fair I did get a call). There is nothing authentic about this place, when I asked for some mint sauce for my sheek keb, it came straight out the shop bought bottle, it’s those little touches which you expect having paid a premium for the meal. The wings were dreadful, literally everything went in the bin apart from the chicken jhalfrazi, I eat this and it wasn’t bad, but nothing to write home about. Needless to say, I made a quick trip to McDonald’s as soon as I got home to rapidly try and salvage my evening. I wish the team all the best but this is way below the standard of average food in Leicester (and I’ve been to some...
Read moreI found Mommas a few months ago on Uber and thought I would give it a go. I wasn't disappointed the first few orders from the curry menu. More recent orders I've had very tough pieces of chicken, poppadoms that are burnt or have a weird taste like they've been reheated or cooked in old oil, I'm not sure which. The chicken jalfrezi is very nice, lots of oil on top of the dish though, the pilau rice is lovely but it seems to come in either a small round container or a bigger one that holds more, when I get the small one I feel a bit cheated especially for the price. The pots of sauces are too small for the money and the yoghurt mint sauce is watery with barely any taste. This was my go-to online place for Indian but the inconsistent quality is putting me off to be honest. I hate to leave not so good reviews but I cannot leave a positive review if things are not right. Sorry Mommas, you need to up your game with the quality...
