About Indian Rooster
Indian Rooster is an Indian sizzler restaurant in Leicester, at 155 Melton Rd, and it also has a branch on Queens Road in Clarendon Park. The menu spans BBQ skewers, keema pizza and lamb spinner, with Indo-Chinese dishes alongside grilled meats and chicken biryani. Naan rolls, burgers and curries sit on the same list, including chicken tikka in naan and a mixed chicken kebab platter. The dining room is casual, with Hindi Bollywood music playing. Ordering happens at the till, where customers pay before the kitchen starts the food and are then told how long the wait will be.

Customer Review Summary
Grilled meats draw the praise, with reviewers describing juicy, flavorful cuts with a smoky taste and calling the seekh kababs flavoursome, though one found the platter chicken a little less tender. Generous portions and freshly made food come up in the happier reviews, one reviewer recommends the keema pizza and lamb spinner, and another liked the Bollywood music in a casual room. Complaints are frequent at the Melton Road branch. A chicken biryani arrived boneless when bone-in was requested, cold with undercooked chicken. A chicken tikka naan came without sauce beside hard, reheated fries. Others cite small portions, slow service, rude or hard-to-understand staff, and a till mix-up where a new item was refused. One reviewer says hygiene inside could improve, and another wishes the wait had been stated before payment. One regular reports receiving the wrong order a third time, with calls bringing apologies but no replacement.

“Very Disappointed with Indian Rooster food. Melton Road Branch. I have been ordering from them past 2 years, but past few times ive had food and the standard is not there any more. I ordered Chicken Tikka in Naan with Salad and Sauces with Fries. There was no Sauce in the chicken in Naan. As it was near closing time, The Fries were left over cold Chips Reheated in oil and it was so Hard to chew, my Daughter could not eat neither could i eat. I had to throw away the fries. Very very Disappointed with the food. I will not be ordering again from them.”

“Third time receiving the wrong order! Every time we call to complain, they just say Sorry, next time it won’t happen but they never fix it or offer a replacement. As regulars, we expected better service. We won't be back.”
