About Smokyz Grill
Smokyz Grill is a halal Indian takeaway on E Park Rd in Leicester, where the loaded red donner comes served in naan with a Korean sauce made in house. The counter also turns out the Donero Chicken Doner In Bread and the Donero Lamb Steak Doner Bowl, alongside grilled wings, strips, and platters offered in a choice of flavours. Halal preparation runs across the menu, and high chairs are on hand for families with young children. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservations, and both takeaway and delivery, including through Uber Eats, suit those eating off site. The kitchen runs daily in the evenings and stays open past midnight for late-night orders. Across the full menu, 158 dishes are listed, covering the doner, fried chicken, and Pakistani sections alongside the Indian core.

Customer Review Summary
Korean loaded fries are the most frequent draw, described as cheesy, hot and generously portioned. The in-house Korean sauce earns praise on a chicken burger that reviewers say stayed crispy under the sauce. The red doner, served in naan, comes close behind and one pair calls it a favourite, though another reviewer found it sweet and sitting on soggy, oily fries. Others mention the hot Smokyz chicken, crunchy wings and flaky chicken. Opinion is sharply divided. Several reviewers describe dry or stale chicken, rubbery kebab meat, soggy chips, a pulled beef burger that tasted like plain boiled meat, and a chicken rice box drenched in red sauce with fully red rice. One reviewer reports feeling sick after a meal and a child vomiting, another reports finding an insect in a delivered order, and a third says the doner meat tasted off. One caller describes a rude tone on the phone. One diner's refund request was declined and a voucher offered instead.

“Had the platter for one, it was covered in thick sauce, did not taste good. Wish i came and checked the reviews first. Deffo wont be back. Amigos platter better and worth the money!”

“Ordered several things asked for beef dish a received rubbery kebab meat with soggy awful chips and felt sick after eating it and my son was vomiting after eating there. Do not waste your money its disgusting and I didnt mean to leave one star on it as I wouldn't rate it at all. I wouldnt eat there if it was the last place on earth and the good reviews must be bogus as there is nothing nice about their food.”
- Dana Khudhur
“It was one of the best meal ever I had. Very friendly staff and very humble boss. Highly recommended.”
- Basil Jose
“I ordered from smokeys grill and fries through uber eats and found what appears to be a insect in my food. This is completely unacceptable and a serious hygiene concern. I had to stop eating immediately and documented everything with photos . Food safety should be the absolute minimum standard for any restaurant. Extremely disappointed and would not recommend ordering from here. No customer should ever experience this”
- Abzk Abzk
“Was very very disappointed I ordered 4x zinger burgers & wings food was not fresh at all. Zinger burger was dark in colour nothing was fresh about it have ordered here before the food has been good won’t be coming back here again”
