Spice 45 - Leicester

4-Star Review for Spice 45:

I recently dined at Spice 45 and had a wonderful experience overall. The ambiance is one of the standout features – cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed evening. There's plenty of parking, which made our visit stress-free from the start.

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we felt well taken care of throughout our meal.

We ordered a portion of chips, Paneer Karahi - Madras, Chicken Shashlick, Paneer Shashlick, Chicken Biryani, and Onion Salad. The dishes, apart from the biryani, were spot on with great flavors and perfectly cooked. Both the Shashlicks and the Paneer Karahi had bold, delicious spices that left us wanting more.

However, the Chicken Biryani was a bit disappointing. The rice wasn’t Basmati, and the taste was rather bland, which stood out compared to the other flavorful dishes. That said, the prices are reasonable, making it good value for the quality and service.

Overall, a cozy spot with great food (minus the biryani), excellent service, and an inviting atmosphere. Will definitely return!

Visited as a couple for a Sunday evening treat. It was the first time we'd visited for some time and we both really enjoyed our meal.

After a couple of poppadoms and the pickle tray we shared Lamb Tikka and Garlic Chicken Tikka starters. Both full of flavour and very tender.

For our mains we both tried something new and ended up sharing the:

Spice 45 Special - which is their words is a "A truly extraordinary dish developed by our award winning chef. First the taste of creamy egg, then flavoursome mincemeat and finally tender lamb." It was delicious!

Tribuji - which is selection of chicken, lamb and duck tikka cooked with onion, tomatoes & fresh herbs in a medium thick spicy sauce. Again, really tasty!

To accompany this we had pilau rice and shared a plain naan.

Everything was served hot with great friendly service.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal and look forward to returning again soon!

Everything was fine apart from the heating (hardly any) atmosphere because there were hardly any people in there we were in there just before 7 so that might have been a factor

We ordered just before a massive storm hit and even though most of the roads between us and Spice 45 were immediately closed, with the fire brigade pumping water from around the Resturant, we still received our meal which was brilliant as usual.
Thanks guys 👍

We visited with friends on a Saturday evening - from the outside my heart sank - no kerb appeal - weeds around the building -old torn stickers of past achievement and accredition in the far from clean windows limited exterior signs - did not look great - but car park was full - so that was a good sign.
Rather brusk welcome - interior was smart and clean - orders taken efficiently. Food arrived in good time and I have to say was really good. The waiters became more relaxed as the evening went on. £ 112 for 4 people - that included 4 x cobras and a bottle of wine - not bad.
Hands shakes on leaving.
I do think some exterior spruce up would pay dividends and look like someone cared - and some gentle background music to add a little atmosphere to an otherwise clinical ( which I had no issue with ) interior - most importantly though food was good and front of house premises and toilets were clean.
Can recommend - you can't always judge a book by its cover.
