Feast Of India Melton Road Leicester

So, there I was, wandering around Leicester's Melton Road, stomach rumbling like a distant thunder, when I stumbled upon this little gem that's been hiding in plain sight. I'm talking about Feast of India, a place that's been serving up a storm of aromatic, spicy, and utterly delicious Indian cuisine for what feels like forever.

You know how it is, right? You've walked past a place a hundred times, but it's only on that fateful day, when your hunger is a raging beast, that you finally decide to give it a go. That's how it was for me with Feast of India. And boy, was I in for a treat!

First Impressions

Walking into Feast of India is like stepping into a little slice of India itself. The vibrant colors, the warm lighting, the soft hum of conversation - it's all incredibly inviting. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend an evening here, right?

But enough about the ambiance, let's talk about the real star of the show - the food!

Food Glorious Food

Feast of India offers a buffet of options, from the classic butter chicken and biryani to more exotic dishes like laal maas and malai kofta. And let me tell you, each dish is a symphony of flavors that dance on your tongue.

I started with the papdi chaat, because, you know, you can't go wrong with some crispy flour chips, potatoes, and a tangy tamarind chutney. It was the perfect little appetizer to get my taste buds ready for the main event.

Then came the main course. I went for the butter chicken, because, well, it's a classic, and the vegetable biryani, because I'm all about that balanced diet life. Both were cooked to perfection, the flavors rich and complex, and the portions generous enough to make even the hungriest of wolves happy.

But the pièce de résistance? The gulab jamun, of course. I mean, what's a meal without a little something sweet to finish it off? These little fried dough balls soaked in rose syrup were just the right amount of sweet and syrupy, the perfect end to a fantastic meal.

Now, I've had my fair share of meals at places with amazing food but terrible service. Feast of India, however, is not one of those places. The staff here are friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile. They made me feel welcome and at home, which is always a plus in my book.
