Shere Punjab

One of my best old time favourite place in Leicester for Pure Desi Punjabi Flavour and taste. Their Punjab Pakora’s and Samosas are completely made fresh on orders. Their dishes again top class. It’s best to eat in store but because of COVID-19 only Takeaways. I have been trying this place from last 15 years now. No complaints. Update April 2022: I have been to Shere Punja once again after about 2 and half year to eat in. I tried Aloo Chole and Saag with Makke Di Roti.. no changes to taste. They give food in foil containers so if anything left over you can easily pack with lid on top and do take away.

We visit here every two weeks for our Paroteh, even a 50 minutes round trip for the quality of food we get here, pricing is reasonable and staff are helpful.

Hot piping food served while you wait. Good value for money. Love their samosas and aloo parotha . Cash only.

This was our first time here, and we ordered a lot, as in A lot of food. They were moderately busy. The reviews were hit and miss and that sums it up. We also ordered snacks and sweets. Big mistake, especially if we were ordering first time. About 30% of the dishes were passable, the rest was below par. We ordered 2x Samson saag which was quite pathetic. It was a faded emerald color and very slimy and did not taste like saag at all. We just hope the slimy and gooey stuff was an overload of turnips. We had no choice but to eat as we were bringing the dinner to a friends house and we’re all going to eat together. Baingan bharta, was again like a paste with no Baingan visible in sight and neither in taste. Both the saag and bharta had been blended into a ‘gummy, gluey slush’ at best. Now for the good part. The bhindi was fantastic. Chana was good, as were the Bhaturas, which were above average. The pickle they gave us was fantastic and I would buy that, if they sold it. A bit stingy with the onion, but not too bad. Samosa chaat was 3/5 stars. Now for the desserts. We ordered a combination of different sweets, some in Juices like gulab jamun, and others dry, namely Barfi, pedas, and besan barfi. They were all packed together, so the juices mixed with the dry mithai. The besan barfi was decent 3/5 stars and gulab jamun was excellent 4/5 stars but the other stuff, especially the peda looking yellow thing had to be discarded. Tea was passable. Like every other similar food place, don’t expect an itemized receipt or for that matter any receipt at all. If your going to split the bill on an itemized basis, it’s best to order and pay separately. It’s cash only. I would have liked to give this place a second chance, but the others in my party want to try somewhere new. ——- Upgraded to 4 stars. Gave it a second chance. Saag was a lot better as were the rotis. Good stuff.

Nice place for Punjabi style food .food was good service was perfect too busy very narrow place to eat in.
