Very good. The food was fantastic. Beautifully cooked and presented. All the staff were friendly and chatty too. It was great to have Indian food that was not the usual "meat in a sauce" with rice! Not the cheapest, but definitely worth the extra and definitely deserves their good reviews.

We had a fantastic evening at Lilu. The food was plenty and was by far the best we have had in Leicester. The quality of the fish, prawns and lamb was exquisite and to top it off our waiter Jamie was really engaging, had a very high knowledge of the dishes and was really kind- made us feel very comfortable and knew how to have a laugh with us! He made our evening - an asset to the restaurant - we will most definitely be coming back !

Very interesting Indian meal. Delightful and helpful staff. Fine cuisine, not what you would expect. Generous portions but quite expensive (for Leicester) side dishes. Approximately £50 per head without Alcohol.

The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice and the service was great. We were both looked after very well and it was a nice experience. The food itself was nice, but not the best I’ve ever had and so in terms of value for money it’s not the best. Overall it was a nice experience but the food was just ‘nice’, nothing more nothing less

This was our first visit at this recommended restaurant so we went with a very open mind. We were greeted and made to feel very welcome . The front of house are to be congratulated on how personable they are, taking time to explain the history of the restaurant and their thoughts on food and what makes a good restaurant. We had an excellent meal and our view was that the food here is a true fine dining experience.We will certainly revisit and try other dishes on the menu a new found favourite, give it a try you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely beautiful food, fantastic service and a great set menu which makes ordering less complicated. I went for the soft shell crab which was lovely and very different to what I normally have and the lamb cutlets for my main which was devine. Would definitely recommend anyone to go.

Food was excellent. This would have been a top marks review if only little elements of the service hadn't let it down. Service from each individual we encountered was great, but they lacked communication between them so were asked if we wanted drinks by all waiters on duty, even though our order had already been taken. I also asked at the time of ordering my glass of prosecco if they had any flavours they could add, eg peach - I was told I could have pomegranate, which sounded great, but only amounted to a few seeds thrown into my glass - not quite what I was after. Additionally as designated driver for the evening I moved on soft drinks, but the options presented were very limited. Juices offered were orange or apple, only to be told after ordering they didn't have apple. In terms of fizzy drinks I was offered lemonade or ginger beer - I selected ginger beer, to be served a ginger ale - a very different drink! Service was also quite slow, which ordinarily would have been ok, except it was a Tuesday night, and the restaurant wasn't exactly full. However, as stated, the food was excellent and I would return, but perhaps at a weekend for a better ambiance.

I feel the experience lacked value for money, the quality of food did not seem to justify the price. However, the presentation of each dish was good.

First rate fine dining Indian restaurant with great service and a good selection of wines. I liked the novel touch of serving red Leicester cheese on the nan bread.

As always, beautiful!!! The duck was the most tender I have ever had and the street food starter was an entertaining delight! It was my partners first visit, he was amazed and hasn’t stopped recommending it since. The welcoming and attentive service made it an experience to be repeated! Soon!

Heard a lot of good things about Lilu and couldn't wait to eat there. We weren't disappointed, Indian food taken to the next level with a few surprises in between. The Lamb chops were the best I have ever eaten, absolutely delicious. The staff were attentive and very friendly. Can't wait to go back
