Bobby’s is a family-run vegetarian restaurant at 154–156 Belgrave Road on Leicester’s Golden Mile. Founded in 1976 by Bhagwanjibhai and Manglaben Lakhani, it has served generations of diners while continuing to refresh the way it presents Gujarati food and hospitality.
Gujarati cooking anchors the menu, with curries, dals, breads and a traditional thali offering a balanced introduction to the region’s flavours. Street-food favourites such as vada pav and pani puri provide a livelier contrast, while chilli paneer reflects the broader Indian influences found across the selection.
Indian sweets remain an important part of the restaurant’s identity and provide a natural finish to a meal. A creative Indian afternoon tea brings together savoury bites, paneer tikka, chaat, mithai, shrikhand and spiced tea or coffee in a celebratory format.
The pure vegetarian approach makes Bobby’s an established choice for meat-free dining, with a menu broad enough for snacks, lunch or a substantial family meal. Guests with allergies, intolerances or other dietary requirements should confirm the latest ingredients and preparation with staff before ordering.
Address: 154–156 Belgrave Road, Leicester LE4 5AT, England
