Khyber Tandoori, The

The Khyber Tandoori is a friendly family-run restaurant that opened its doors to the people of Leicester more than twenty years ago. Today it is counted among the finest Indian restaurants in the East Midlands; as a result Head Chef and owners Ashok, and brother Dinesh are two happy men.

With light walls that are adorned with traditional Indian art, linen covered tables, and mellow lights, the interior is simple yet elegant and cosy. The Khyber menu offer dishes that reflect the subtlety and diversity of the sub-continent together with fresh seafood and time-honored vegetarian, tandoori, and meat creations.

Trust a platter of charcoal chicken wings or chilli prawns to help you make a flying start. These could be followed by the much loved matar paneer, a traditional dish of cottage cheese and fresh sweet peas, home-cooked lamb chop curry, or the hot and lemony meat dhansak.

Indian breads ranging from tawa chapatti and tandoori roti complement the main courses. The food can be enjoyed with a short yet exciting range of wines, beers, and spirits.
