Amaravathi South Indian Restaurant brings the cooking of southern India to 2–16 Loughborough Road in Leicester. Its broad menu gives diners space to explore regional dishes rather than limiting the experience to the curry house standards most familiar in Britain.
Dosa are a natural starting point, including masala filled versions and a larger paper masala dosa. Idli and vada can be paired with sambar, placing fermented rice and lentil batter, crisp pulses and a deeply seasoned vegetable stew at the centre of the meal.
Biryani offers a more substantial route through the menu, with chicken and vegetable choices among the available combinations. Curries such as chicken Chettinad bring a warmer, aromatic style, while aubergine and kofta preparations widen the selection for meat free diners.
The variety suits both a quick plate and a shared meal made from several contrasting dishes. Delivery and collection complement the restaurant service, but sitting down at the Loughborough Road premises gives diners the best opportunity to combine breads, rice dishes, snacks and curries at their own pace.
Address: 2–16 Loughborough Road, Leicester LE4 5LD, England
