Shivani Raja MP visits Spice Bazaar

Shivani Raja MP with team members at Spice Bazaar.

I treated myself to a Saturday night takeaway from one of our fantastic local businesses this week.

Spice Bazaar is a credit to Leicester and is yet another example of the entrepreneurial spirit and culinary excellence that makes Leicester such a great place to live and work in.

Thanks to all of the team for the delicious food and for their continued contribution to our community here in Leicester!
