The reputation of Bobby’s in Leicester and Leicestershire is immense and this vegetarian restaurant lives up to the highest expectations. It was founded by Mr Bhagwanjibhai and Mrs Manglaben Lakhani in 1976, after their expulsion from Uganda, when their family settled in Leicester like many Ugandan Asians. Spotting an opportunity to cater for their compatriots with excellent home-cooking, Bobby’s was born, a pure vegetarian Indian experience based on the values of authentic traditional Gujarati cuisine.

A bright and colourful display of expertly created Indian snacks welcomes you, so don’t miss the opportunity to take a look at the displays and appreciate the skill that is so carefully poured into every intricate invention. Bobby’s menu comprises everything from farsans and traditional Indian sweets to authentic a la carte meals cooked freshly, using only the finest ingredients at value for money prices.

With a head chef at the helm who has been asked for his recipes to be submitted in BBC cook books, even meat-loving diners would be foolish to miss out on this fine restaurant just because it is vegetarian. In the years Bobby’s has existed it has converted hundreds if not thousands of carnivores into regular Indian vegetarian eaters and with dishes such as Channa Masala, chick peas cooked in a hot and spicy gravy, or the recommended Bengan Bharta, smoked and mashed aubergine, pan fried with a variety of spices, it is easy to understand why.

Dharmesh, now the manager of Bobby’s, is the perfect host as his love for the creations and history of this restaurant shines through in all conversations. Book online with any special requests and enjoy the authentic Indian vegetarian experience.
