"What a lovely cafe! We had the khoresh bademjan and pistachio cake which was absolutely delicious. The cafe was clean, well decorated and we were served with a smile. Looking forward to coming back, thank you Happy Café!"

"This café was a fantastic find! The ambiance was peaceful, complemented by soothing background music. The freshly made warm chips were a treat and the cheese on top was absolutely delicious. The Persian mojito was refreshing and so flavourful. I can’t wait to have it again!"

"A little known gem, hidden away, deep in the heart of Leicester's Bohemian Quarter. This beautiful, calming haven proposes a great menu selection which includes both English Breakfasts and Iranian Specialities. Friendly, professional service and very tasty. I tried the English Breakfast and Cappuccino. It went above and beyond my expectations. Very clean and beautifully decorated. There's also cheap but secure parking available just nearby, at St Peter's Carpark (behind the Jamaican Centre). Value for money and a very relaxing setting, watching the cars sail by, with its two large windows providing a panoramic view of life outside. This was my first time here but having left feeling satisfied in every way, I fully intend to return with family."

"A Truly Happy Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stumbled upon this gem in Leicester and it lived up to its name perfectly! We ordered a cappuccino, macchiato, and apple crumble - all were excellent quality. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere. It's quiet, peaceful, and has a lovely view that makes you want to stay longer. The interior is beautifully designed with a cozy, welcoming feel. The lady running the cafe deserves a special mention - her warm smile and positive energy truly embody what a "happy cafe" should be. Her genuine hospitality made our visit even more memorable. Perfect spot for a relaxing coffee break or catching up with friends. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality drinks, good food, and a calming atmosphere in Leicester. Will definitely be back!"

"Stopped in for a brief lunch break and discovered a bit of a hidden gem. Lovely staff and a chill atmosphere really added to the experience. The food is also really great. Fries have a perfect crispiness to potato ratio. Burger is filling without being stodgy. Prices are extremely fair as well, so I can easily recommend to anyone. Happy indeed, like the ketchup in my picture."

"Stopped in for a coffee this morning as we were running early for an appointment at the health centre down the road. Honestly, the best cup of coffee I've had in a long time! Can't wait to come back and try some more of the delicious sounding menu."

"I visited the Happy Cafe this week with my friend. I had Persian porridge and Persian mojito juice and my friend had date egg omelette. Both were amazing and we enjoyed them a lot! The cafe is very cute, super clean and many varieties of food. The owner Elham is very hospitable and friendly, she welcomes us with her amazing smile! I did also take away her handmade walnuts baklavas, they were very tasty and fresh. It's only less than 10-minute walk from Leicester station and very easy to access! I will definitely visit again! 10/10"
