Jamavat Restaurant excels in delivering a mix of comfort and street food in a way that feels both familiar and exciting. Whether you’re craving the creamy indulgence of a cheese puff, the satisfying heartiness of a sandwich, or the zingy refreshment of Collegian Bhel, each dish offers a unique experience that caters to diverse tastes. With its variety of options, Jamavat is a great spot for those looking to enjoy a blend of cozy favorites and vibrant, flavorful street food. Collegian Bhel is an absolute standout. The puffed rice, sev, and fresh vegetables combine perfectly with the sweet and tangy chutneys, creating a burst of flavors with each spoonful. The crunchy textures, spicy kick, and refreshing taste make this dish a must-try highly recommended 😋😋😋 Never have I had a more pleasant meal. Abhay, Hitanshu and Laxita were so polite and helpful. Thanks the staff of jamavat for the wonderful service. Forever repeat customers!”

I visited today for the first time with the family. We all really enjoyed it. The food reminded me of my mums cooking. All really tasty and authentic. The staff were friendly and helpful too. Needed a reminder of 'home' today and we certainly had it. Very reasonably priced no frills great food. We will definitely go back. Just to note seating is limited so might be worth checking first just in case.

Okay, let's get this out of the way: if you're looking for a fancy, silent, date-night spot where you can hear a pin drop... you've come to the wrong place. You've actually come to the right place, but for entirely different reasons. Jamavat Leicester is the culinary equivalent of your favourite, slightly chaotic, but incredibly loving Indian fellow's kitchen. It's small, it's covered in posters that will make you snort-laugh (seriously, read the walls), and it smells like heaven. Our order was a mix of "classic" and "what sorcery is this?" · Kadak Chai: This wasn't just kadak (strong), it was a personality in a cup. It looked you dead in the eye and told you all your problems were solvable. 10/10, no notes. · Ferrero Rocher Milkshake: I'm pretty sure this is what they serve at Willy Wonka's Gujarati cousin's factory. It's decadent, it's ridiculous, and my 3.5-year-old daughter Trisha now has a new life goal to bathe in it. Worth every single calorie. · The Food (Kumbhana Bhajiya, Sev Usal, Masala Vada Pau): Let's just bundle this amazingness together. This is the food of my childhood dreams. It was so fresh and flavourful, I half expected my grandma to pop out from the kitchen and ask why I'm not married yet (sorry Madhavi, my wife, she just wants what's best for me). Now, a note for the impatient: the service isn't lightning fast. But that's because they're not just microwaving last week's samosas. You can literally taste the "made-to-order" freshness. It's worth the wait, I promise. And the star of the show was Pooja. This woman served us with a smile so big and genuine I'm convinced she's powered by sunshine and good vibes. She was so sweet with our kids (shout out to my 8-month-old food critic, Arya, who approved of the mashed-up bits), and made our whole family feel like we were at a friend's house. So yeah, we left with full bellies, a serious case of the happy feels, and a 3-year-old on a sugar high. We'll 100% be back. Jamavat, you absolute legend. Family Verdict: · Me & Madhavi (the parents): A real, delicious trip down memory lane. · Trisha (3.5 yrs): "MORE CHOCOLATE SHAKE PLEASE." · Arya (8 months): enthusiastic drooling and banging on the table (That's a five-star review in baby).

This is hands down one of the most joyful, hilarious, and heartwarming reviews we’ve ever read — thank you! We’re so glad Jamavat hit all the right notes for your family. Trisha’s chocolate shake goals and Arya’s enthusiastic table-banging made our day. Come back soon — Pooja and the wholefamily will be waiting with smiles, spice, and sunshine! 🌟🍛

Every visit to Jamavat feels like a treat! The variety is unbeatable whether you want something light and crunchy like Bhel, or something rich and indulgent like their Cheese Puff, they’ve got you covered. I tried the Special Sandwich this time, and it was packed with fresh veggies and flavors that reminded me of true street food charm. The service was fantastic—so friendly and quick. Abhay and team always make sure customers feel valued. Thank you Jamavat for another amazing experience! Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food and great vibes.

This is a great place to go if you are looking to have authentic gujarati/maharastrian snacks. The taste is authentic and that I believe is the soul of the place.

Warm welcome. Outstanding service. Great Indian Taste. Our food was customized to no onion-no garlic dishes. So 5***** stars to the chef for customizing the dishes and provides delicious- yummilicious mouth watering taste. 100% recommend this new Indian Street Food Hub in Leicester that is just off Mellton Road.

We visited at lunchtime , food was absolutely delicious and you can tell it was freshly made!! Really good value for money! They were busy and it did take a bit of time but we weren’t in a hurry and it was worth the wait ! Will definitely visit again!

you’re looking for a taste of true Indian street food in Leicester, Jamavat is the place to go. Nestled on Canon Street, this humble vegetarian takeaway delivers big on flavor, authenticity, and affordability. From the moment you walk in (or order online), you’re greeted with the aroma of freshly made Gujarati snacks and spicy Mumbai-style bites. Dishes like Kumbhaniya Bhajiya, Surti Khaman, and Sev Usal transport you straight to the streets of Surat and Mumbai. Their Jamavat Special Sandwich is packed, spicy, and satisfying — a perfect fusion of Indian and British street food culture. What sets Jamavat apart is its dedication to vegetarian cuisine. Everything is meat-free, and many options are vegan-friendly as well. It’s perfect for anyone craving flavorful food without compromise. Prices are very reasonable — most items fall under £6, making it a great value for students, families, or anyone just looking for a quick and delicious bite. Their breakfast menu is another highlight, offering comfort food like poha, thepla, and masala buns with a cup of hot chai. While there isn’t much seating inside, it excels as a takeaway or delivery option. One thing to note: their hygiene rating is currently “awaiting inspection,” so hopefully that gets updated soon. 🏆 Final Verdict: 4.5/5 stars – Jamavat brings genuine Indian street flavor to Leicester. Great for breakfast or lunch, especially if you love regional Indian food. A must-try for vegetarians and street food lovers!
