Best Authentic Restaurants in Leicester

A very cute place with super service. We sat at the bar (requested) and ordered traditional southern fare - fried green tomatoes over grits (excellent), hot pimento cheese dip (very good - hubby likes it better than i did, but I’m used to it cold on a sandwich). For dinner we had the fried chicken (dark meat) and collards - both excellent, though next time I’ll request to leave off the honey dust, I would have preferred it without the hint of sweetness. Hubby ordered the pulled pork in confit - excellent on all fronts but be ready as it’s not “rich” but it’s a lot! And I had to try the biscuits with butter and blueberry j as a dessert (it’s a starter). The biscuits were as good as my momma makes and the butter was nice and whipped. Next time I’ll just order the biscuits with butter and honey - not that the blueberry was anything but lovely - just that’s they way I grew up ;) All in all - if you’ve got southern roots or want authentic southern cookin’ this will remind you of home!

We were seated by the front door at first and it was a little chilly when the door opened so I asked if there was another table back further. There was and without any problem and very graciously, we were moved. The cocktails and wine we ordered were excellent. The food was outstanding and fresh. We had mostly vegetarian options like crispy cauliflower and Saag Chat then Baigan Bartha, wild Mushroom Korma and Lamb Vindaloo. The portions were big so we we took a little of each home with rice for another meal. All the food was great and in discussing which was our favorite, we all said we just couldn’t decide because it was all good. Our server was excellent and the timing was not rushed at all. We had no problem with conversation as the noise level was very reasonable. If you haven’t tried it, go!!!

My third time here in a month! Great menu, delicious food, perfect portions and pricing is very good for where we are downtown Asheville!

Attentive staff and great food, who can ask for more. When we come to Asheville, Mehfil is our go to restaurant both for Indian food and a great meal. Have never been disappointed. If you ask my kids, we go for the Biryani plus the variety of Saagwala, Korma, Naan, etc. Thank you again for another great meal.

Full of flavor every time we go to this restaurant
