Peara is a contemporary Asian restaurant at 40 Market Street in central Leicester. Its polished dining room serves dinner throughout the week, with weekend lunch and high tea adding further reasons to visit during the day.
The kitchen blends Indian traditions with wider Asian techniques and modern presentation. Starters can include Peara Chicken 65, dynamite prawns, salt and pepper lotus stem and mixed platters combining kebabs, samosas, paneer and grilled seafood.
Main dishes move from green butter chicken and Malabar shrimp with lemon rice to shashlik, slow-cooked beef short ribs and coconut laksa. Biryani, steaks, pasta and noodles broaden the choice, while breads, rice and vegetable dishes make it easy to assemble a varied shared meal.
Peara’s afternoon tea gives familiar teatime formats a South Asian accent through pani puri, chaat, vada pav, tikka sandwiches and Indian-inspired sweets. Mocktails and desserts complete the experience, and guests with allergies should speak with staff because the kitchen handles a broad range of allergenic ingredients.
Address: 40 Market Street, Leicester LE1 6DP, England
