Jungle Paprika

Jungle Paprika on Evington Road is a large African grill house that has traded for over two decades on the same family recipe, a rarity in a restaurant scene with constant turnover. The T-bone steaks have their own legend — reviewers call them "head and shoulders above the rest in Leicester" — alongside lamb chops in the restaurant's own gazebo sauce, masala fish with naan, and gourmet burgers. The space is notably generous by local standards, with extended indoor seating and outdoor tables, giving it the feel of a destination rather than a counter takeaway. A genuinely different proposition on a road dominated by Indian and Chinese kitchens, drawing a loyal following who visit specifically for the grill.
