Dhaka Deli is an Indian restaurant at 198–200 Narborough Road in Leicester. Its comfortable, colourful dining room provides a straightforward setting for familiar South Asian cooking, with service extending into the evening for both dine-in meals and takeaway orders.
The menu covers the classic progression from starters and tandoori dishes to curries, biryani and rice. Spice, slow-cooked sauces and grilled meats provide the core flavours, while different levels of heat allow diners to choose between gentler, aromatic recipes and more assertive chilli-led dishes.
Thali is a useful way to sample several preparations together, balancing curry, rice and accompaniments on one plate. Tandoori cooking brings a smoky contrast, and vegetable dishes, breads and sides make it easy for a table to create a varied shared meal.
The broad selection suits a casual dinner, a family gathering or a late meal along Narborough Road. Recipes and ingredients can change, so guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should ask the restaurant to confirm the current preparation before ordering.
