Menu Report

Yellow lentils cooked with Indian spices and finished with a tarka of onions, tomatoes, cumin and crushed coriander. A sharp, yet subtle tanginess is the distinctive flavour that characterises this fish curry with its perfect combination of tamarind, spices and tomato. Chicken, Lamb or prawns cooked with Tangy black peppers as the main ingredient & grinded cashew nuts, harmonized by cream to created a perfect balanced medium curry sauce.

Just had a really, really good spicy vegan curry here, made to my spec, quickly and courteously, with a nice pint of Kingfisher.

Never been before, but enjoyed the service and food. I did however feel some dishes where a little salty for my taste. Overall however the dining experience was very good. As usual ended up with taking a doggy bag home lol.

I guess it all depends on what kind of Indian you like. This one was very tasty and the staff was really kind, however, I tried much better food in couple other places around the UK so I would not call this one my fav. I liked the food, but it is not my fav.type of Indian.

Myself and a couple of friends visited this restaurant for my friend’s 22nd birthday. This was our very first time eating at Santhi but decided to book this place as the aroma whenever we walked past on Granby st was always amazing.
When we arrived we were greeted promptly and sat down at our table which was nice however it took them over 10 minutes to hand us a menu and that’s only after we asked. The restaurant was not busy and only had 3-4 tables or so. One thing I noticed on the menu is that there is a compulsory minimum spend of £10 per customer which I think it a bit ridiculous as many

I love this restaurant, I used to live there for a short while and went here when I first moved and never bothered trying anywhere else in the city centre area (there are great restaurants on Melton Road too however but its a little further up). The staff are so friendly but not overbearing or pushy, they leave you to it but are attentive at the right moments and the food is great! Miss it!

Second visit , wanted a curry/chilli hit. Service was quick and efficient and the food was excellent. Chilli paneer is the best. If I lived in Leicester would be here on a regular basis.

Family meal. First time visit to this restaurant. This was an interesting visit as the the vegetarian food was better than than the chicken dishes for taste. The portions were a bit on the small side. I would go back again.

Was a decent place to eat. Big menu with a lot of variety. Worth trying. Heard the woman brag their chilli paneer is the best in town but didn't get a chance to see if that's true.
