A Leicestershire Indian restaurant which won a local curry award is set to re-open tonight.

Soi, in Melton Mowbray, temporarily closed last month following the coronavirus outbreak.

It will be open again as of tonight, offering a takeaway and delivery service.

According to the restaurant, it will be bringing "fine dining authentic Indian cuisines to your home with takeaway prices."

The menu features a wide range of vegetarian starters such as masala cheese and chilli bites and aloo tikki chaat, and non-vegetarian starters such as tandoori chicken wings and tandoori lamb chops.

There's a large selection of main courses, featuring chicken, lamb and seafood, as well as vegetarian options, and biryani dishes.

There's also a variety of breads, rice, sides and extras such as papadoms and pickles.
