Desi Khazana is a restaurant at 181 Evington Road in Leicester, bringing together Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi food. The kitchen combines traditional recipes with selected fusion dishes and aims to keep additives to a minimum while using quality ingredients.
Desi breakfast gives the restaurant a useful role earlier in the day, with parathas, curry and chai offering a substantial alternative to a conventional café meal. Later menus move through familiar dishes such as lamb karahi, biryani and butter chicken, supported by rice, breads and accompaniments.
Onion bhaji, paneer, prawns, tikka, tandoori dishes and lamb chops provide plenty of ways to begin or build a shared meal. Tawa platters suit groups who want to sample several grilled and sauced preparations, while Indian Chinese dishes introduce another strand of South Asian restaurant cooking.
Diners can reserve a table, order for collection or arrange delivery, and a buffet is offered from Friday to Sunday. The restaurant is HMC certified, an important practical detail for customers seeking halal food, while the range of service styles makes it suitable for both a quick meal and a larger gathering.
