Sharmilee - Leicester

I want to complain because Sharmilee charge more for their Buffet in the weekend! The food is usually better in the week days. This time we visited in the weekend for dinner! The buffet was terrible! The curry was dry, the dhal was bland- no spice at all and the staff didn't care! It was ridiculously hot because of the recent heat wave and they didn't have the air con on, they refused to put it on! If Sharmilee are charging more, the food should be up to standard too!

I normally do a visit here from Newcastle to take a food parcel back home. I ordered my regular items then I wanted a few extra items but was confused with all the variety. The owner patiently explained things to me, let me sample a few items and never once rushed me. Once I had everything he carefully packed two parcels for me; one picnic for the car journey home and one parcel to be packed in my boot. I greatly appreciated the time and effort given especially considering that the place was busy.

We’ve loved going to this restaurant over the past 3 decades. Today I left disappointed and shamed to have taken family from out of town to a restaurant that served a dish that our guests said they would not take home but give to the homeless guy on the street. First sign they no longer have a license to serve alcohol. We should have left at this point because it was the food we had come for. Out of 3 starter dishes we got 2 and had to chase for the third which arrived after we had finished the ones we had received. Crispy Bhajia good. Pani puri tasteless. Dhai Vada were sweet and green chutney had no flavour. Pau bhaji was not seasoned well neither was the aloo paratha. Veggie rice was just rice you couldn’t find the vegetables and was just oily and no flavour Chole Bhatura Bhatura we’re great but the chole no where near to what we have enjoyed time and time again in the past. This dish was the main reason for us bringing our guests to this restaurant. Urad again no flavour. Three main dishes did not get ordered so whilst the rest of us ate 3 people had to wait for their food. This was embarrassing for me. All in all £98 lighter and very disappointing. Sharmilee management please bring yourselves back to the excellent standards you used to have.

Service friendly and quick. Samosas just ok… not very flavourful at all… which was a disappointment. Spring rolls were nice. The food was fresh… just not quite tasty!

We went to Leicester space centre, returning from there we went to Sharmilee restaurant. We asked if they can offer us buffet, they had almost finished, but got gulabjamun , fried fresh puris and warmed up daal, kadhi. Best customer care, service with a smile and very pocket friendly. Good taste, good heart to offer fresh and warm foods is their Royalry
