About Shere Punjab
On St Saviours Rd in Leicester, Shere Punjab is a Punjabi restaurant serving on a walk-in basis with food handed over in foil containers. Aloo paratha appears often on orders, made in the Punjabi style, and saag is a regular request, frequently paired with Makki Di Roti. Bhindi and chana or chole dishes round out the recurring choices, alongside samosas and pakoras made fresh to order. Sweets draw many visitors in as well. Payment is cash only, and the counter can see long waits for food when the kitchen is busy.

Customer Review Summary
Aloo paratha draws the most repeat mentions, with several reviewers naming it a longtime favourite, though accounts diverge sharply: some describe it as flavourful and authentic, while one recent visit found all three parathas bland with no salt at all. Saag and Makki Di Roti also come up repeatedly, described as full of flavour, alongside praise for samosas noted for spice level and crispness, and bhindi and chanay singled out as standouts. Sweets get mentioned as a draw in their own right. Pakora reviews split too, fresh-made and praised by one longtime customer, but another describes a £15 order that tasted mostly of oil with messy small bits. A separate takeaway complaint describes a manchurian dish as overly salty with unevenly chopped vegetables. Several reviewers mention slow service or a wait for food on busy days, and one notes the shop is cash only. Reviewers repeatedly flag reasonable prices.

“I've been coming here since I was a kid in the '90s. The food is always good and reasonably priced. The place could use a refurbishment, but it'll do. Good authentic Punjabi food. My personal favourite aloo paratha and saag.”
