Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the south Asian cooking, with the butter chicken described as rich and velvety and the paneer as soft and fragrant with spices. Close behind are the masala fish, chana starters, mixed grill, and king prawn coconut curry, where the coconut comes through. The baby lamb chops also get mentioned, and the lamb and mutton are called very soft. The Nawabs Daulat dessert, topped with sliced strawberries and edible flowers, and the sunshine coconut mocktail are also singled out. One visitor who travelled from Birmingham liked the mix of pan Asian and south Asian options. Staff draw nearly as much comment as the food. Reviewers describe them as friendly and attentive, checking on tables, suggesting dishes to suit tastes, and handling special requests. Several celebrating birthdays felt well looked after. The room is called warm and welcoming, and a few say it suits family meals or romantic evenings. Several end their visit with a complimentary mint tea, and others mention a free starter or free drinks.

“Food was lovely and well presented. Service was exceptional and attentive. Owner was also so friendly providing a complimentary starter and mint tea to end. We spent a long time chatting but staff never rushed us even when it was nearing closing time. They still served us with a smile 😊 Would highly recommend for romantic evenings, friends get togethers, or family meals, as setting is warm and inviting.”

“Exceptional Dining Experience at Peara! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the warm, upscale ambiance to the exquisite food, our evening at Peara was nothing short of perfection. Standout Service A huge shoutout to Rashid and Ahmed, who made our night truly memorable. Their attention to detail, genuine hospitality, and warm recommendations elevated the entire dining experience. We felt completely looked after from start to finish. Culinary Highlights * Butter Chicken: Rich, velvety, and packed with deep, authentic flavor. It hit every right note and was easily one of the best versions I’ve ever tasted. * Paneer: Perfectly cooked, delightfully soft, and infused with incredible aromatic spices. * Drinks & Starters: The appetizers and handcrafted mocktails were fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented—setting the stage for an extraordinary meal. The Finale: Nawabs Daulat You cannot leave Peara without trying the Nawabs Daulat dessert. Visually stunning with delicately sliced fresh strawberries and edible flowers, it tasted even better than it looked. Light, decadent, and the ultimate way to cap off the meal. Peara delivers on every level—ambiance, incredible food, and top-tier service. We will definitely be back soon!”

“Absolutely outstanding, a true gem! We visited recently and were blown away from start to finish — huge thanks to Rashid for looking after us so beautifully. The food was absolutely outstanding — every dish packed with flavour, perfectly seasoned, and honestly some of the best Indian cuisine we’ve ever had. The service was just as amazing: warm, attentive, and genuinely heartfelt. I always make a point of learning one word of the local language as an icebreaker, and it made for such a lovely, friendly start to our meal! Rashid, thank you so much for the kind gesture of free drinks and the offer of free tea — you’re such a humble, generous person, and it was an absolute pleasure to meet you. That personal touch makes all the difference and makes you feel so welcome. This place isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. We’ll definitely be popping back every time we’re in Leicester, and we’ll be telling everyone we know to come and visit. Highly, highly recommended!”
