A 4.5* really!
Have eaten here many times over the years and previously have only ever really enjoyed the lavish decor!
All that has gone now, but the stark white interior does brighten the place and the removal of the TV from the lobby area is a blessing!
The service was excellent - quietly understated, professional, but warm. Couldn't fault it.
Food was first class - the flavours of each dish were pure and not generic. Beautifully spiced fish and chicken with light, fluffy breads & warm, crunchy poppadoms with a great pickle tray.
Highly recommend the tandoori chicken! Moist, well marinated and full of flavour.
Only tiny letdown was the soft drink I ordered, obviously out of a large bottle and sadly flat.
The glasses were sparkling clean, as was the cutlery and linen. Coloured, fabric napkins added a welcome 'pop' to the table.
All in all, an unexpectedly lovely dining experience.
Maybe bring a couple of more authentic, but not too obtrusive Indian art pieces to the walls?

Lovely place with amazing food & friendly staff I often stagger past it late at night when everything has closed, but they always manage to accommodate me and are lovely with it.

After a long time i enjoy such great bengali cuisine. Made to perfection the nan was soft crispy curry i order was chicken tikka tawali which was recommended by one of the staff members who was very kind and hospitality was great. Rice was very nice.
After lockdown this was a great treat i was with few friends who was all hungry.
Drinks selection is great. Will defo visit again thanks guys.

Had a meal at here last weekend and I must say it was great. I had the chicken tikka masala and my partner had a vegetarian option, we both loved it. The food tasted lovely and is very reasonably priced, the staff were very friendly and attentive, the restaurant is clean and well presented. We will definitely be back & would highly recommend Dhaka Deli.

A group of us arrived here late shortly before they were due to close but nothing was too much trouble and the service and food were first class. I foolishly left my mobile phone in the restaurant and the owner kindly looked after it and I managed to collect it from him the following morning. Thanks for everything.

I had a brilliant Chicken Biryani, chips were great too, as was the keema naan. Table had a Chicken Balti and a Saag, and we all very much enjoyed our food. Would be coming again definitely

Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service.

From start to finish the service and the food was extremely brilliant, rang for a delivery the person on the phone was kind and bubbly. Might I say I have been going to many many indian restaurants and takeaways in leicester and arguably this is by far my number one rated. The food was absolutely heavenly delicious. The young delivery driver with the BMW was an absolute gem of a guy, friendly and always had a smile on him, I don't normally tip but this guy definitely deserved the 10 Pounds I gave him. Brilliant guys keep it up!!

My original review for this restaurant is below from 6 years ago. Today, I just want to update this review and confirm that this restaurant is as good as ever - either eating in or for a delivery. Ordered a delivery last night, it was quick to arrive and the quality and taste were as good as every.
6 Years ago (2013)
I have tried many Indian curry houses in Leicester and Birmingham and find the quality of the food at Dhaka Deli excellent and one of the best places.
I have used this restaurant consistently for the past 3 or 4 years sitting in and as a take away and there is no compromise between them.
The take away service is reasonable as regards to time - they are not the fastest. It usually takes up to an hour but the food is always hot on arrival and i'm willing to wait a bit longer for good quality food. Portions are big and the taste is great.
I have probably had over 50 take always since using this place and had just one poor quality meal (it happens!). The meals have actually got better over time and they are consistently good. They used to use a lot of ghee/oil which my partner always drained off but that is no longer the case in the past 12 months.
If I could give 4 and a half I would only because delivery can take a while but overall I think its nearer to 5 than 4.

Nice little restaurant with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere to enjoy your dinner. The poppadoms and dips were lovely. My curry was cooked nicely and was presented well but to me was a little bland. The naan bread was quite tasty and lovely and fresh
