Welcome to Chutney Ivy, one of Leicester’s premier restaurants. We offer a fine dining experience with classic Indian hospitality fusing the very best of time served traditional Indian cooking

methods with the freshest ingredients and modern twists.

Indian cuisine is as diverse as its culture, people, geography, and its climate. The essence of good Indian cooking resolves around the appropriate use of

aromatic spices. The skill lies in the subtle blending of these spices to enhance rather than overwhelm the flavour of a particular dish. It is interesting to see an

Indian cook at work with a palette of spices, gratuitously sprinkling these powders in exact pinches into the dish in front of him. It is these complexities of regional

food in India that make it a so very fascinating experience.

We at Chutney Ivy aim to bring the most traditional dishes from all corners of the Indian Sub-continent, maintain the classic Indian recipes and enhance the

offering with some signature dishes to reflect the changing food trends in modern society. Cooked and prepared in our open plan kitchen by the vastly

experienced staff, the menu has been designed after several years of research and experience gained.

We will gladly prepare a dish you require that does not appear on the menu, time permitting. Our waiters would be delighted to guide you through our menu and

cater for specific tastes. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Chutney Ivy’s aim is to freshly prepare your order in a reasonable time, please be aware during busy periods this may incur extra waiting time, if you are limited

for time please let your waiter know.

Our bills carry a discretionary service charge, if you feel we don’t deserve it please tell your waiter who will gladly deduct this for you.
