Passage to India Anstey is a fully licensed Indian restaurant at 1 Cropston Road in the Leicestershire village of Anstey. The business developed from a takeaway into a seated restaurant, and it continues to offer collection and delivery alongside meals in its dining room.
The kitchen describes its cooking as a combination of authentic and contemporary Indian flavours, with fresh herbs and spices central to the preparation. Starters, clay oven dishes and curries give diners several ways to build a meal, whether they prefer grilled food or a sauce based main course.
Classic curry styles sit alongside house preparations, biryani and a useful range of vegetable dishes. Rice, naan and other accompaniments make the menu well suited to sharing, while choices such as onion bhaji and butter chicken reflect the familiar comfort food for which the restaurant is known locally.
Evening service and the option to eat in, collect or arrange delivery make Passage to India flexible for both relaxed dinners and food at home. The established neighbourhood setting, broad menu and licensed dining room distinguish it from a simple takeaway counter.
