Amazing paan, Amit special is amazing. Sweet and PK paan simply heavenly.

Fantastic experience as always, the owner is always welcoming and smiling. The place is super clean and pan is amazing.

When visiting Leicester, this is the only Pan shop I go to. The shop is immaculately clean and the owner takes pride in this constantly cleaning his work station with no clutter insight. We order have the sweet pan and it always delivers a packed punch of flavours with his concoction of vibrant ingredients.

Its the best pan in town, heck even UK. People travel into Leicester for pan from here. My hubby consistently orders the special PK pan, I got for both the chocolate pan and sweet pan, and my son gets to have the sweet pan filling in a little packet. Freshly made to order everytime.

A fairly good and clean Paan shop. Tried the chocolate and sweet pan. The owner is a friendly man as well. Per Paan is from about 1.50 pounds. Good quality and has ready- made Paan masalas and packets to take home for about 3 pounds.

You get one of the best Mouthfreshning, mouthful and exceptional quality of sweet Pan, khara Pan and chocolate pan’s. Above all it’s served with great care and love filled in it. One of the Best place in Leicester to get Pan.

I must say this place is awesome if you fancy some paan. I usually stick with sweet paan but they do have options of several flavours. The leaves are fresh along with the ingredients. I have tried paan from other locals but you can't beat this place. It's clean and the service is outstanding. The chap behind the counter is friendly and has a great smile.
