"I’ve been coming to cafe mash for many years. They never fail to deliver the best cuisine in Leicestershire. The cafe mash special curry is an absolute must if you can handle some spice. Friendly, welcoming and personal service from all the staff. Food quality is exceptional."

"Great food and excellent service -everyone left with very full bellies and lots of leftovers too . This is my parents' go-to place for curry, so decided to treat the family for a meal out. I tried the prawn starter (forgot name- was the chef's special) and it was incredible; specifically, the taste, aroma, and presentation. My partner was also very impressed with his Tandoori Mixed Grill. We also had a curry each and again, they were fantastic. The specific names escape me- I will take photos next time and update my review. Needless to say, this is now going to be our go-to curry place too! To the staff- thanks guys, you're awesome, and I can't wait to come back"

"Cafe Mash has been our first port of call for Indian Cuisine for many years. Consistently fantastic food. My partner is vegetarian and they have a great veggi selection all clearly marked. They will make anything to your requirements, you want extra spice, extra mild, extra chick peas, they will do it for you. We have had Cafe Mash do buffet party take aways on a couple of occasions and been really pleased with the selection and the service. Recommended."

"What a great night at Cafe Mash. Well, where to start. Firstly, I didn’t know it was a Indian Cuisine restaurant, the name doesn’t give it away! I was so please when I found out it was. We have recently moved into the area, and live 10 minutes from it. We went over on Monday, which was a quiet night. But that didn’t stop how good it was. The food was outstanding; the dishes were full of flavour and plentiful, really nice choices. Even the chef asked it was all ok for us, oh yes... and it really was. The manager was very helpful throughout and even brought a dessert out to my wife as it was her birthday. So, all I can say, Go.... you will have a great meal and enjoy the atmostphere you will enjoy it. Thanks Guys...…"

"Went on a weeknight with a group of 10. Located in the middle of nowhere, on the outskirts of Burton on the Wolds, so your going to need to drive to get there but it has a car park. Very friendly, helpful, staff. I had the Mash special curry which was really good, as were all dishes, and generous portions too. As good, if not better, than anywhere I've been in the area."

"Came here last night with a couple of colleagues for a quick bite, and so glad I did so, absolutely unreal food, and waiter was super helpful and very attentive, will come back here 100% next time I’m down here.. unreal food, can tell by the smells that it’s cooked from scratch, so fresh, 10/10 from me, keep up the outstanding work !!

"We got a take away from here, first time trying as was recommended by friends. The food was absolutely lovely and you can tell it was made with love. When we got home the food was still piping hot and the portions were so big! They made sure we were happy with our food and couldn't have been more welcoming when we got there to pick up the order. The quality of the food is amazing and we will definitely be a returning customer!"
