Deli leicester — Restaurant in Oadby and Wigston

Having reviewed this place before, they somehow had it taken down...

Where do I start? Samosas.... (what they pride themselves on).... mass produced and not made in house, like they like you to believe.

Apparently "white people know nothing about curry" when theirs is dry and bland (the samosa has more spice).

They can't take criticism and call you a "troll" on social media, whilst trolling themselves all over local groups, as well as every pub carpark in the area.

Take business from local businesses.

At Xmas fayre at Fox and Tiger was told not to sell cakes as was dedicated cake stall... yet still moaned that they couldn't sell cakes.

They just want to monopolise themselves yet cry "oh save small business like ours" when things don't go their way.

2good2go* boxes was £5 (supposed to save food waste) ended up at £15 a week or two later. 2good2go booted them off.

Selling excess stock they could not get rid of (with a begging plea) of 10 bhajis for £7 (RRP £1 each). There is a community fridge at Wigston, another at Goldhill and one in Eyres Monsell that they NEVER donate to. Absolutely disgusting considering they are "community driven"

Where do you want me to end??

For decent local produce there is Atfields near Whetstone, Carvers cobs do decent lamb samosas and there is a farm shop in Aylestone that does good local produce at a good price.

No doubt I'm just going to be called a "racist troll" again for having an opinion (apparently I'm not allowed a negative one when it comes...

We stumbled across this #notjustacornershop a couple of years ago and it has become a favourite place. They stock a wide variety of top quality local produce, such as sublime curries, bhajis and samosas, made by the owners, who owned Lilu restaurant; Hambleton Hall breads, Doughnotts donuts, cakes (vegan and gluten free options), Vine Farm milk, local meats, yogurts, eggs, jams and chutnies, honey, gin, cider and so much more. They also stock the essentials and if you need something, they usually have it. The owners, Pratik and Bee, have become friends not just to us, but to the local community. They go above and beyond to help, offer support and kindness... during the pandemic they sourced items people were struggling to find. They also provide home deliveries for those who need it. My twelve year old daughter is autistic and has learning difficulties, and they have shown genuine kindness during times of high anxiety and overwhelm. As a means of learning, and to boost confidence, we have been making dog cookies, which Pratik and Bee have invited us to sell on their shopfront. In doing this, my daughter is learning valuable life and business skills, and we donate to local animal charities too. If you haven't already visited, what are you waiting for? The owners have a funky Chaat Bar with the yummiest freshly made tikka wraps, and a coffee caravan, serving 'proper coffee'. There is such a wide variety of delicious produce, you won't be...

This recently-opened shop is a breath of fresh air in terms of products and service. Yes, you can get newspapers, sweets and the usual cornershop stuff, but the new owners have quickly developed a community cafe, a source of high-quality local foods and regular events to taste and meet the food producers. There's beautiful samosas, pies, organic leaves, handmade chocolates, fill-your own plastic-free dry goods and fresh bread every day. The food is great, but the personal welcome and positive chat is also invaluable. You'd guess that this kind of shop would work well in Clarendon Park, but actually it's better on its own, not far off Welford Road at the Leicester end of Wigston. There, it is still the corner shop for the Wigston Fields community, but it's also drawing foodies from a much wider network, who can easily park...
