Lahori Tikka Kebab

Leicester's kebab scene has a quiet champion in Lahori Tikka Kebab, a takeaway that’s earned a solid 4.5/5 from over 160 reviews on Google. Tucked away in the city, this spot leans into bold, smoky flavours rather than fussy presentation. It holds a Food Hygiene Rating of 3 (Generally Satisfactory) from its June 2025 inspection, and for those who know their way around a charcoal grill, that seal of approval matters less than the char on the meat. This is no-nonsense cooking that lets the fire do the talking.

The menu revolves around what the name promises: tikka kebabs marinated with punchy spices and cooked until they’re just singed at the edges. Seek out the seekh kebabs, where minced meat is spiked with fresh herbs and chilli, then grilled to a juicy finish. It’s the kind of food that works brilliantly wrapped in naan with a slick of mint chutney, or piled onto a plate with salad and yoghurt. Orders are ready fast, so it’s ideal for a no-fuss dinner that doesn’t skimp on flavour. They deliver across Leicester, too.
