  “Nitin is lovely to talk to and is very keen to give his mother due credit as his inspiration. Such a lovely tribute to his parents, upbringing and roots👏🏽 My son ordered Lamb Biriyani - was perfectly spiced, excellent taste and portion size. My son, who is normally hard to please, finished it all 👏🏽hence the excellent 👌🏽 review 💕”

  “Had a fantastic meal at Moma’s last night. Food was fresh and full of flavour. Open kitchen so you can see the food preparation. Book in advance as it’s small but sure to become more popular.”

  “Visited this restaurant today and food was delicious - it was full of flavour - there wasn't a dull bite. The only reservation I would have with the food was the lamb karahi had more peppers than lamb pieces. Staff were friendly, seemed good humoured and honest. They came round to make sure we had everything we needed and this included (I'm pretty sure was) the chef from the kitchen. Decor was lovely - the blend of yellow and black was warm and welcoming. It would be good to have more tables so in the meantime be sure to book a table! One downfall of the evening was when a group of musicians came in - I found it loud and personally an interruption to our conversations. Fortunately, the owner asked them to leave quite quickly.”

  “Excellent restaurant, I gave four stars only because I find the food too sweet to my taste. Even a « spicy » chicken tikka masala is still very sweet. But I want to try their other dishes and a higher spicy level still. Great service and price! One little suggestion: Don’t sit near the door. It might be difficult to shut or whatever I don’t know, but people coming and going out seemed to never be able to close it nicely, and cold wind came in when it swung open a few seconds later.”

  “Tried the daytime menu and was a pleasant surprise. Loved the toasted tandoori chicken sandwich. Not tried the full curry menu but daytime snack were good for the price.”

  “Our new favourite restaurant. Food was delicious, the jalFRIESi chips were amazing. We all cleared our plates! (That's a first). It's very cosy and comfortable with lovely little touches all around with a professional yet personable service.”

  “First time I went here with my family for brunch. Amazing flavours of pure desi homemade cooking. Lovely little spot. The food is amazingly fresh and I can't fault it. The masala Chai is the best I've had in a long time way much better then chaiwala or other outlets. Definitely recommend you won't be disappointed!”

  “Momma's Kitchen is nestled among the cafes and boutique shops on Allandale Road. The restaurant is a hidden gem serving a lunchtime and dinner menu. The lunchtime menu is served until 5pm. The lunchtime menu is a reduced menu but don't let that pit you off there are many dishes to choose from including light bites, burgers, and barbeque kebabs and specials. It doesn't include curries or Biryanis. Nitin, owner of this son and mother team (the Momma in Momma's Kitchen) Was a really nice, friendly and genuine individual. He explained that everything served on the menu was made with an authentic home style taste. We ordered a combination of light bites and items from the grilled section. The tandoori and cheese toastie was full of tandoori chicken each bite guaranteed to have a generous amount of brilliantly spiced chicken. Would make an ideal light lunch item. We also got the grilled lemon lamb chops. These were amazing. The spices of the marination and the distinct zingy lemon flavor were made for a very unique flavour. The lamb chops are highly recommend and are cooked to perfection. We also got a chicken tikka grilled kebab on a naan with salad and chips. Again the spices on the chicken tikka were on point. For dessert which I would highly recommend we had Rass Malai milk cake which we shared. We also got karak chai which I think absolutely amazing the tea was very flavorful and wasn't over sweetened again would highly recommend this to conclude your meal. Overall we had a very good experience and would recommend this hidden gem. It's not like other Indian restaurants in Leicester and the seeking point of this establishment is the home style dishes along with a brilliant customer service.”

  “Lovely place to eat. Lamb chops were delicious and had a great flavour. Not even small size, good sized lamb chops...not like other restaurants who specialise in mixed grills. Chicken wings had a subtle but nice flavour and the chips were amazing. Jalfreizee frys(maybe spelt wrong) nice kick to them. Can definitely tell the spices are fresh!”
