Quick info
About Lahore tikka kebab
Lamb mandi anchors the cooking at Lahore tikka kebab, a Pakistani restaurant on St Saviours Rd in Leicester, where each order is prepared as it comes in and half or full lamb goes out by pre-order only. The family runs the front of house as well as the kitchen, and the rest of the menu covers traditional curries, starters, mains and sides, alongside platters and mixed grill plates such as the lahori charga. Naans are made fresh to order, and portions come out large. The shop itself is small, with limited room for eating in. Payment is cash only, so plan to bring notes rather than a card. Tables work on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken, and the kitchen serves halal food throughout. It opens Monday to Sunday, with the exception of Tuesdays, when the shop stays closed.

Customer Review Summary
Lamb mandi is the dish reviewers return to most, described as tender, juicy and cooked to order, with flavourful rice topped with carrots and raisins. One reviewer notes the half and full lamb portions are pre-order only. Close behind, diners single out the shish kebab naan, masala fish and lahori mix, and praise fresh naans, big portions and food that tastes traditionally Pakistani. Several call it affordable and family run, and one says the staff work hard. The shop is small and plain, and one reviewer mentions little room for dining inside. Complaints are fewer but specific. One reviewer found the platter generous but mostly tandoori rather than proper charcoal grill, calling the Lahori charga basically Bengali style red tandoori chicken. Another had a disappointing visit with a rude reception staff member and found the cash-only policy inconvenient. Several reviewers say they would recommend the place, and one stops in before a long drive home to Leicester's edge.

“It's a small family run business. Cash only. Food is spot on for what you pay. Not much space for inside dining.”

“Great food & atmosphere. The food was high quality and affordable. A menu to suit every palette, an array of starters & mains. The food was served quickly and cooked the way I wanted. All cooked to perfection, worthy of a chefs kiss👌”

“Average food. Platter size is good but its mostly tandoori and not proper charcoal grill. Lahori charga is basically Bengali style red tandoori chicken.”
- Taz Mania
“It's literally my favourite place to eat in Leicester. It is not a typical fancy restaurant but the uncles and sisters serving work so hard and the quality of the food and how fresh the naans are make it worth while. Every time I stop in Leicester, I go here before my long 3 hr drive back home. My favourite is their shish kebab naan and masala fish 💖 Super affordable and big portions!”
