Hello David I've just got in from a pub which me and all my uncle's and Auntie's and Cousins from Ireland and obviously here in the UK and we hired out the whole pub from 11.00am until 5pm and I've been drinking pints of Guinness and vodka chasers so I'm tipsy and there was 52 of us, a brilliant vlog and i said in my last review I'm so happy that people are putting out positive vibes, cheers mate a very tipsy Sean, god bless mate 🍻🍻.

I like your video😊
Leicester is a complete shit hole
David: Happy Memorial Day and weekend. Well, you know that Indian food is one of my two favorites. You did a great job showcasing the food in Leicester (pronounced 'lester'). It all looked mouthwatering and delicious and the people are very friendly and welcoming. This is a very enjoyable series. It's very interesting to hear about how things are there but it's good to hear too, that despite everything, it's so diverse and the people get along very well. Well done. To Nathan, Brandon and the crew, and not forgetting all of your families have a safe and Happy Memorial Day 🙏🏻🥰
Love your videos and especially your coverage of Indian food in UK – I am going to UK next month and can’t wait to visit London, Birmingham and Leicester
Usually one presumes that all Indians love Indian food but as an Indian we love fish and chips and not Indian food.
Great video @Davidsbeenhere! I was a little harsh in my comments on your Birmingham video, sorry, I deleted them after some thought. This is a great example of what you do best, and it's particularly nice that you're putting the positive aspects of the Midlands and the UK in general up front, when so many people are doing it down, and talking about Broken Britain. This shows what a thriving multicultural community Leicester is, and how great the food and the people are. No idea what your plans are, but I'd love to see a video on my hometown Hastings, down on the south coast. There's some great food there and lots of live music. It's not far from Brighton, which I'm sure you'd love too! Cheers!
my city , big up
love indian food but chicken tikka masala is over rated
Lots of love David !! ❤️ ❤❤ Keep Climbing!🙏❤️
anywhere in the UK the Asian communities touch turns into a shithole common knowledge in the UK unfortunately Birmingham Bradford Leicester all have become prime examples.
I like the way foods are arranged in small bowls on a platter…curries aside from chinese are my fav…nice as always ..Thanks as always David be safe Peace.
Loved the content and a big fan of @hungryolivethethyme
Still you don't try sri Lankan food
I recall back in NYC in Jackson Heights Queens where you would come in contact with some Gujarati Community, I recall seeing that savory sponge like looking cake and those sweets. London looks like the NYC in Europe.
ADMA Shawarma Lebanese, fish n chips , Chinese food
South asian ❌ south indian ✅ 😂😂
Leicester pronounced Lester.
Great video David! Particularly enjoyed the Birmingham and Leicester videos! My fave place for food in Leicester is Hot potato shop!
Can’t go wrong with a Shirmilee ❤
Leicesters Indian food can give India a challenge 😂
Hey David big fan , of your content I’m from Leicester and I think you never got showed the top spots in Leicester such as Nashville food blazin bird , kake temptations , shawarma , fish and chips, chocoberry. and popular locations such as London road , evintgon road. Hopefully you can come back Leicester another time
Thank you for Visiting Leceister Gujrati Food

@timer 6:24…….LESTER
Let the eating begin 😊 yummy 😋
Love yr vid bruh,lov in d house,❤from Trinidad.Ka$h&Pam😊
I was in Turkey and someone pronounced it ' li ches ter '
You hardly scratched the surface of the food in Leicester. The majority of the video was just showing a bunch Gujarathi vegetarian nonsense.
If the DOSA was so delicious how could you leave it more than a half. You both took 2 bites each. Cheating the viewers.
Hi David. Can't believe you were in my home town. I was in the city centre yesterday passing crisy dosa. Great to see you enjoy the food ❤
David you are a nut case.
England 🏴 isnt all about asian food you know 🫵 there is a lot of history here……. And get your ass to greggs and ask for a warm steak bake 🤭 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
WOAH , finally gujarati!
David, you should collabrate with Garry Eats YouTube channel of United Kingdom, for common little spice loving UK person view on Indian food. He likes Indian food specially curries and knows almost everything about it in United Kingdom. 😊
I live in Leicester and absolutely love Bombay Bites 🥰
Hope you had a blast David, an honour to show you around Leicester and of course be your eating partner! 😂🇮🇳💯🔥
