UPDATE: FOR ANY OF THE "5" STAR REVIEWS ON HERE - THIS RESTERAUNT HAS RECENTLY HAD A ZERO FOR HYGIENE RATING. THAT TELLS YOU ALOT MORE THAN ANY REVIEW. YOU MAY ASWELL BE EATING OFF THE TOILET AND PLAY ROULETTE WITH YOUR HEALTH. WARNING FOR GROUPON CUSTOMERS...ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. UPON ARRIVING AT THE RESTAURANT THE WAITER ASKED "HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS PLACE?" SO WE MENTIONED GROUPON. AS SOON AS HE HEARD THIS HIS TONE HAD CHANGED. HE WAS RUDE AND ABRUPT. HE WAS PUSHING EXTRAS AND DRINKS WHICH WERE RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED. THE COKE WAS NOT COKE OR PEPSI BUT A CHEAP IMITATION BRAND WHICH WAS FLAT AND DISGUSTING BUT STILL CHARGED AT £3 A GLASS. ON THE VOUCHER IT SAYS THE LAMB SHANK IS INCLUDED BUT ON THE MENU IT IS LISTED AS A SPECIAL FOR WHICH YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA. PRICES ON THE MENU ARE UNLISTED. THE MEAL WORKED OUT TO THE SAME PRICE AS IF YOU ORDERED FULL PRICE. THEN THE WAITER TOLD US HOW BY US USING THE VOUCHER HE WAS GIVING THE FOOD AWAY! FOOD WAS SO POOR I WOULDNT GIVE IT AWAY TO FEED THE HOMELESS! IF YOU DONT LIKE PEOPLE USING THE VOUCHERS ITS A SIMPLE SOLUTION...STOP ADVERTISING THEM ON THE SITE!

What a surprise, blink and you might miss it or mistake for a house but this is a superb small restaurant. Family home ambiance, great (exceptional) service and delicious food. The camembert starter was excellent as was the Prawn, main course pasta was exceptional and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

This is the first time we have been to Cheikos and thought it would be a treat to take the kids(9yrs and 6yrs old) for our wedding anniversary. To be honest we had no expectations of what to expect therefore didn’t want to get our hopes high. When we entered we were greated by Dan and he was so friendly and genuine. He made the kids laugh which is always a plus. We were looking at the menu which we had loads to choose from and asked for some recommendations. Dan gave us his suggestions which we trusted him with. The kids ordered king prawns and we ordered the creamy garlic mushrooms which were delicious. I loved the extra touch that Dan made with the kids as he was showing them how to de-shell the prawns step by step. We were allowed to take our time between each course which helped us a lot. Portions are very generous which is a bonus. I really have to say that the food was brilliant catering to our needs. The only thing I regret is not ordering dessert as we were so full but the menu looked so tempting. At the end we spoke to the chef Cheiko to compliment his cooking, he took 5 minutes out of his time to talk about his history with the restaurant. This is great home cooked food served on your table and the authenticity of the whole place was lovely and cosy. I would definitely recommend Cheikos and next time I will be trying the Tiramisu. Thank you Dan and Cheikos for the amazing food and experience.

I have just arrived from this restaurant. So... nice environment. I asked for the mushrooms as a starter and they were too salty. I them received another mushroom which was better but still salty. I could not finish it. My partner had the olives with bread and we also found the bread a bit salty. For mains I order the veggie gnochi which i dont remember saying it had cheese on the ingredients, but mine came with cheese. Although i normally avoid dairy and cheese I did not want to complain again and I ate it and to be fair it was very good. My partner has the calzone and again the bread was salty for our taste. We order the red house wine, which is Italian and it was good. I was planning to give 3 stars to this restaurant, but they removed the mushrooms from our bill, which was a decent act and the reason why I am giving a 4 star review. The waiter was nice and we also gave him a tip. Would be good if you could reduce the salt in your dishes and also add plant based cheese as an alternative for those who want to a avoid dairy products.

We have been dining at Cheikho's restaurant for many years. It is our firm family favourite Italian restaurant in the area.Sammy, the owner is very welcoming and makes us feel special and like part of the family and we never leave feeling disappointed with our experience here. We would highly recommend a visit but make sure to make a reservation though beforehand to avoid disappointment as very popular. The menu offers an excellent selection with lots of tasty vegetarian options too and the food is always freshly cooked and delicious. Situated over two floors of a small converted terraced house it is a family run restaurant with a lovely warm and intimate atmosphere and would be an excellent venue for a romantic night out or any special occassion.Upstairs is more spacious and ideal for larger groups or family gatherings.

Some of the best pasta I have had in Leicester. The dish was put together with supreme technical skill and the creamy sauce was exquisite. Be prepared to wait a little while as it may be a one man operation in the kitchen but it is worth it for the effort that goes into making the food meet such a high standard

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. I was in Leicester on business and found myself in Oadby. Booked a table at Cheikho's and didn't regret my choice. Seafood marinara was sublime. The tiramisu was awesome. After the meal we spoke to one of the owners for a good half hour. We had a great conversation. I will definitely be going back on my next business trip to the area. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

My partner and I went to Cheikhko’s last night for a mid week evening meal. I don’t even know where to start... It was fantastic!! The owner was such a lovely, friendly, funny gentleman that welcomed us at the door. We were seated at our quaint, candle lit table and ordered a bottle of wine. The food was unreal! We had the soup, the bruschetta, the salmon and the chicken. Followed by lemon cheese cake and a cheese board. I will go as far as to say, last night was one of the best meal I’ve ever eaten in my life! The entire evening was just sensational and I would recommend to everyone! We will be returning very soon. 6 out of 5!

Tasty food and really nice cosy, homely surroundings. My salmon was tasty, but the "home baked bread roll" that was served with my starter soup had one burnt part. Don't understand why this was served as it was clear to see by anyone. Initially gave 4 stars but have now decided to amend to 3 , due to the bread Manager/ waiter needs to be understand that when a customer presents a card for payment, he is not to take it away, to the counter, but, what he's meant to do is bring the card reader to the table for contactless payment. I've no Idea why he took the card away, and then after payment, gives a note of advice saying that we need to be careful of giving a card away for payment!!! He did this with another customer too.

Dirty plates and cutlery, poor service and refused to honour a prepaid Groupon deal, cramped atmosphere. Would not recommend. Promised fresh prepared food but the mussels I had were clearly iqf frozen rubbish that were over cooked destroying the texture, though the sauce saved it . The lamb shank I had were clearly bought in pre cooked in a bag as I saw the chef open them through kitchen. The gravy was thin and flavorless.and seasonal veg that wasn't in season came in Tesco packaging (sat close to the kitchen door) nor was the seasonal veg dressed or plated in anyway, just boiled drained poorly plonked in a bowl and dumped on our table, half still raw in the middle. I wouldn't go back if they fed me for free

Terrible place. The owner argued with me because I complained that instead of using basil, he'd used parsley on the pasta. I know the difference as I love basil and hate parsley! In the end he backed down and assured me that it was basil, but as I was the customer, I was right! Brilliant! Possibly the worst place I've ever eaten at.
