Karimeen South Indian Restaurant & Bar is a Leicester restaurant at 2 Narborough Road. Its cooking looks to the coastal traditions and spice-rich food of southern India, with a particular emphasis on Kerala.

Fish is a defining part of the menu, including karimeen pollichathu, in which the fish is wrapped and cooked with a deeply seasoned masala. Other seafood dishes sit alongside chicken preparations and fiery Chettinad flavours.

Dum biryani brings together fragrant rice, spices and meat in a sealed, slow-cooked style. Kerala-style meal plates, fried meat dishes and other regional specialities give diners several ways to explore the kitchen beyond better-known British curry-house standards.

The restaurant serves lunch and dinner and offers online ordering as well as table service. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should confirm current ingredients, spice blends and kitchen practices with staff before ordering.

Address: 2 Narborough Road, Leicester LE3 0BQ, England
