Head down to Ashby High Street and you'll find The Gourmet doing what a lot of Indian restaurants round here don't bother with: proper food cooked with actual care. You're getting curries that taste like someone's made them for you rather than batch-produced for the masses. The menu's got all the classics done right, but it's the execution that sets it apart—the balance of spices, the quality of ingredients, the fact they don't drown everything in food colouring. It's the kind of place where locals keep coming back because they trust what they're getting, not because it's trendy or Instagram-friendly. Ashby's got plenty of restaurants, but this one's earned its reputation the old-fashioned way.
