This is Indian Vegetarian food at it's very tastiest.
Note that; in Indian restaurants dishes are cooked on a very high heat which delivers a slight smokiness to the cooked food and gives that distinctive restaurant flavour and character to a dish.

This is one of Leicester's Golden Mile's "Secret Desi food places" (the Golden Mile stretches from Belgrave Road all the way up to Melton Road) call it Leicester's "little India" if you wish.
This is another video from our recent week long foodie visit we made to Leicester (in Oct 2018) especially to record some of the most famous and popular food places there (some established many decades ago when East African Asians arrived in the UK having fled the Idi Amin regime) some of the East Africa Asians settled in the streets in and around the Belgrave road and Melton Road area (a stretch of road affectionately known as the " Golden Mile").
Most if not all of the restaurants here are very homely and welcoming and it does not feel like you are eating in an unfamiliar café or restaurant but more like eating at a friend or relatives place.
