In an age of minimalist approaches to style and food, some restaurants like Shagorika still prefer to go the old way with carpeted floors, cosy booths, and a bright pink interior. What matters is that the comfortable refuge pleases its customers as much if not more than any other contemporary restaurant.

Located in the heart of the market town of Market Harborough, Shagorika is family-run since 1980. The warm staff and good quality food have made it one of the best dining destinations in the area.

A plate of spicy fried Bengali fish wrapped in mashed potato makes for an invigorating starter, while the nuakali special prawn from southern Bangladesh is a good option for the main course. With 24 hours notice, you could enjoy Emperor Akbar's favourite dish of yoghurt and spice marinated ghee-roasted chicken stuffed with minced lamb and served with pilau rice, naan bread, and a hot sauce. Traditional favourites of tandoori, karahi, kurma, dhansak, balti, bhuna, and Madras are always available.

Excellent Indian draft and bottled beers complement the food.
