Naseeb @ The Clowes is an Indian restaurant at 29 Portsmouth Road in Leicester. The concept brings the Punjabi roots of the family run Naseeb name into the former Clowes Arms, preserving the sociable feel of a neighbourhood pub while giving food the central role.
The menu covers familiar favourites such as butter chicken, paneer dishes, tandoori cooking and fresh naan. Chicken pakora, tikka and lamb curries provide a range of textures and spice levels, while vegetable choices make the selection practical for mixed dining groups.
Rice, breads and sides allow dishes to be shared around the table, which fits the generous, communal character of the restaurant. Draft beer, lager and wine retain an element of the building's pub history and provide useful pairings for the richly spiced food.
Warm decor and a relaxed evening service make the venue suitable for family dinners, celebrations and casual meals with friends. Booking, takeaway and delivery add flexibility, though the distinctive interior and attentive table service reward eating at the restaurant.
Address: 29 Portsmouth Road, Leicester LE4 5DJ, England
