  “An excellent dining experience at Tipu Sultan. All dishes from the starters to the mains were delicious. It was a quiet part of the day so we were seated immediately & there was ample parking. Great service from the staff also.”

  “The food taste was very odd, they did not use basmati rice in pilau. Lots of colouring in the chicken dish Samosa was somewhat of a dumpling The aloo ticki chaat was the actual Aloo ticki and nothing else The malai tikka was basically boiled chicken Kebabs were odd. This does not resemble the Tipu Sultan in Birmingham I did take it up with the manager and he didn’t care. Very poor quality food and odd taste.”

  “A wonderful dining experience for myself and my partner. I live in Oadby but hadn't been in before. I'll certainly be back again! The food was well prepared and presented, and the decor is beautiful - particularly if you look up to the ceiling and lighting arrangements. Service was brilliant, our waitress Ammara was attentive and made sure everything was exactly as should be! The food was very well priced (we spend about £50 for two meals with starters, mains and drinks). The food was delicious and I would certainly visit in future :)”

  “I haven’t had a decent Indian meal for a while, so we decided to try Tipu Sultan. We still haven’t had a decent Indian meal for a while! The venue itself has ample parking and the decor inside is nice. It’s clean, well decorated and the menu looks appealing. We opted for the Popadom and pickle tray, samosa chat, peshwari chicken, pilau rice and garlic naan. This was enough for two of us. The samosa chat was awful, like a blended samosa heavily coated in tamarind sauce and yoghurt. The popadoms were ok, but you can’t really mess that up. The peshwari chicken was ok, just ok. Not too spicy and the chicken was fresh and plentiful, but that’s where the compliments end. The service was average and we had to explain our order several times and we were unnecessarily warned about things not available on the menu, that turned out to be available. The price for the whole meal was only £42.50, quite reasonable, but I would have rather spent that money on fresh ingredients and cooked myself. The venue is equipped to accommodate parties up to 8 comfortably, but was just as comfortable for two. I won’t recommend this restaurant, but only because I like good food. For a reasonably cheap and average Indian meal, it’s ok.”

  “Absolutely loved my experience at Tipu Sultan Restaurant with my friends. Easy parking with a large private car park and plenty of spaces. We ordered a few platters, kebabs, and karahis, and everything was full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The food tasted fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly staff as well. Definitely worth it and will be coming back again!”

  “The restaurant is clean and airy. The decor gives it character. The food is good but a little too spicy for my palette. Food portions were reasonable and well prepared. This is not your bog standard curry house and many of the items on the menu are particular to Pakistan and North East India. Be aware it is a strictly alcohol free restaurant, so you can't even get an alcohol free beer.”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely outstanding experience at Tipu Sultan. The food was spot on — easily some of the best I’ve had in Leicester City. Every dish was full of flavour, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The service was excellent and the atmosphere made it even better. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-quality food — will definitely be back!”

  “We came here for valentines day have been here many times before, we made a reservation to ensure that we did not wait and have a table, and this is where the it all went wrong. Once we arrived the server (Ali) said we had to wait for 10/15 mins for the table (over heard him say this to another customer that did not have a booking and i wondered why i had to wait) so i asked him what the point of making a reservation was and he said if you dont want to wait you can leave. After 15 mins was seated at the worst place in the restaurant right near the door so the draft made it uncomfortable and cold so the food experience was bad. Had to wait 45 mins for the food to come, later ordered an extra drink which i had to order 3 times and still took time and came after the food was finished. Like i would understand some wait time but near an hour is appalling. Asked for a knife and was given a fork haha. Overall it was the worse experience thanks to the server who sat us down.”

  “Visited Tipu Sultan in Oadby and had a really good experience overall. The food was good and the service was impressive — the waiters knew the menu well and gave good recommendations on what to order. We tried the Kashmiri naan (£5), which was totally worth it, and the gosht (lamb) curry was excellent — full of flavour and cooked perfectly. We also ordered a platter for 4 adults and one child; the total bill came to around £61, which felt reasonable for the quantity and quality. The mango lassi was awesome and a must-try. Do expect a crowd during weekends, but the service was still well managed. Overall, a solid place for good Pakistani/Indian food with attentive service.”

  “Visited Tipu Sultan in Oadby on 28th October 2025 and had a really lovely overall experience. The vibe was great — warm, welcoming, and lively — and the decor is absolutely stunning. From the outside, you’d never guess how huge the restaurant actually is. It’s beautifully designed inside, giving it a grand and elegant feel. We ordered a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. I’m vegetarian and gluten-free, and I was really impressed with how well they catered to dietary requirements — there were plenty of gluten-free options and a good variety of vegetarian dishes to choose from. Everything we ordered was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The food tasted fresh and delicious, and the portion sizes were generous too. The only downside was that we noticed some old rice mixed in with the fresh rice. It was disappointing, but the staff handled it really well — they immediately apologised, took the dish away, and removed it from the bill without any fuss. Mistakes happen, and it’s how they deal with them that really counts, so I appreciated the professionalism. The service was excellent — 10/10. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well looked after throughout our meal. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with great food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. I’d definitely visit again and recommend it to others — especially for anyone looking for a restaurant that offers both vegetarian and gluten-free options without compromising on taste or quality. (Attaching photos of a few of the vegetarian dishes we tried — they looked as good as they tasted!)”
