The food was delicious, great value and authentically Portuguese (my partner's parents are Portuguese). I don't often review, but had to here... outstanding service! My toddler has eczema and was really struggling this evening...scratching and crying. Multiple staff members checked on him, put me at ease, turned the heating down, brought him complimentary juice and chocolate umbrella to cheer him up, they really went the extra mile and we were so thankful.

I will definitely return to this restaurant without a doubt. Great food, generous portions, a good atmosphere, and what surprised me the most was the kindness and generosity of the restaurant owner. Unfortunately, there aren’t many people like him. And I’m not just talking about donating leftover food at the end of the day. In this particular case, this gentleman prepares food every day for those who are hungry or in need. Between 5 and 6 PM, he places the food under the restaurant's porch, where anyone in need can simply collect individual portions. There is also bread and fruit available. The world needs more people like this citizen—doing good doesn’t cost anything. Bless him! Joao Januario

Terrible experience, we were recommended and we got a completely opposite horrible surprise, we ordered almost all cod and it was tasteless and dry It seemed like it was pre-cooked or overcooked, but my portion for the 14 pounds it costs was a very small portion. Not fresh fish, the best part of the meal was the bread and shrimp I will never return nor do I recommend this place. By the way, some of the glasses they gave us were dirty and had dead mosquitoes inside. They don't even get dizzy when cleaning the tableware or checking to make sure the tables are clean.

Soy portugués y a menudo solía venir aquí para el mejor Bacalhau Com Natas en Leicestershire. Saqué a mi compañero el viernes (21 / 03 / 25 ) para probarlo porque nunca lo había tenido antes. No conduzco, así que pagué £ 30 en uber para llegar allí y comprobé el sitio web que dice que puede reservar su lugar, pero walk ins son bienvenidos y como solo estábamos mi pareja y yo no pensé que necesitarían una reserva. Sin embargo cruzo la puerta y me dice que no hay una mesa para 2 y que tendré que volver otro día y le expliqué que había pagado para viajar desde lejos especialmente para venir a comer comida de mi país. Finalmente se rindió y nos dijo que volviéramos a las 8 pm lo cual hice sin embargo desearía no haberlo hecho nunca🤢 Pedí gambas y cesta de pan, bitoque no pao , bacalhau com natas, entremeadas y una francesinha. Mi pareja y yo compartimos todos los platos excepto la francesinha porque él dijo que no era de su agrado, pero seguí comiendo sin darme cuenta de que algo estaba claramente mal. Teniendo en cuenta que no comí nada más que cereales para el desayuno ese día porque sé lo grandes que son las porciones, así que quise ahorrarme la comida😌 Llegué a casa alrededor de las 11 pm y me senté a ver la tele y no pasó mucho tiempo antes de que comenzara a vomitar por todas partes y no parara de salir de ambos extremos y llamé al restaurante para avisarle amablemente a la señora que vigilara ese plato porque la salsa para él fácilmente se dispara a las temperaturas equivocadas. Ella me despidió y me dijo “todo está fresco” que sé que no es porque conozco a alguien que también estaba muy enfermo del mismo plato hace muchos meses y en ese momento me puse de pie por “o ribatejo” y culpé a la persona tal vez comió demasiado rápido o algo así, pero no fue hasta ahora que lo he pasado yo mismo lo entiendo porque no comí nada más que eso el viernes y he estado 🤮y 💩 desde entonces y ahora es lunes 24 así que 4 días en non stop náuseas... .

I had lunch at Tatra on Saturday and I really enjoyed food, service and atmosphere. A first ever visit in an authentic Slovak-Czech dining corner - a very pleasant experience overall. Food was traditionally prepared and one could appreciate freshness and quality of ingredients. I had sauerkraut soup, followed by beef tenderloin. As a dessert, I tried the classic cake, Marlenka, accompanied by a Wien-style coffee (see pictures). The meal was much appreciated and we were served after a short wait. Service was caring and kind. The lady was attentive and asked if we enjoyed the food. The restaurant is situated in a small building, with easy access to the main street leading to Leicester's railway Station. The little space and the simple yet cosy decor of the restaurant made us feel really cosy and gave the environment a very welcoming vibe. I strongly recommend it.
