Heat Restaurant in Rushcliffe

beautiful place, beautiful people, shame about the lack of spice

Went to heat last night....we had a party of 16 ,which was too large for them to cope with,the restaurant was as full as I've ever seen I've been going since it opened and with everyone ordering food plus take aways it was just too much for them ended waiting 2 hours for our main dishes,which was poor,but ambience and drinks service kept us going . Food however was top notch ,large portions and very very tasty,everyone had different dishes and there were no complaints,even gave us extra naans !!! When we came to paying the bill they took off quite a substantial amount,thank you for that On the whole it was a great night with great food ,just probably need an extra hand in the kitchen,but don't let that put you off

Early evening birthday dinner with our grandson. Lovely meal, and Nur the waiter took great care of us. Henry’s personal message to Nur. Thank you Nur for looking after us, the food was lovely.

I was taken by two friends and they had booked a table for 7.15. Big mistake on the night, it was a Wednesday. We had to stand and wait for at least 20 minutes. Eventually got a table but took ages to order and get a drink. It must have been about 8.45 before we got our food. However it was delicious but would avoid a Wednesday.

It was a last minute decision to go for a curry, and we were very impressed with the service, and the quality of the food. The waiter was very attentive, thank you for looking after us. The food was very well presented, and very tasty. Highly recommended.

We spent a lovely evening here with friends at this popular spot in East Leake. Charming waiter Nur ensured that the chef was able to prepare a special paneer based main course for me that was not on the menu. Along with his colleague Hussein, the service was friendly & attentive, despite being very busy. The food was very tasty, piping hot & well presented. Many thanks - we shall return !

Brilliant curry at a very reasonable price, friendly staff and great service throughout!

I've been eating and ordering from Heat for almost 20 years now, and it's always a brilliant curry. Decent starters of Samosa and Onion Bhaji Chaat, followed by Tandoori Chicken on the bone and the always excellent Chicken Tikka Kashmiri. The latter is probably my favourite curry ever from anywhere. Service is always good, and we are lucky to have such an excellent curry house in our village.

These guys work so bloody hard and the food is fantastic. Always choose heat for our Indian take away and dine in is a step above.

Flat cobra and obnoxious tall bar man very unwelcoming . Some of the food was overcooked . Never again did not feel welcome .

Fab food and great service by Noor 👍🏻

Absolutely lovely takeaway curry from here, vegetables in the veggie curries are fresh, the king prawns are enormous and the chicken is lovely. I've eat in a couple of times too, and always found the service to be great. Would definitely recommend.

Very good food friendly service I was recommend this Indian restaurant

Beware. Wednesday night Two for One .It isn't all it's made out to be If two adults are taking a child then make sure you pay for the child separately otherwise the child will eat for free and the two adults will pay full price. Wednesday night is cattle night. Herd them in , herd them out. Not a very pleasant experience and a very noisy and warm one at that. It's a thumbs down from me. East leake resident

Fantastic meal this evening ..the flavours of my starter ( veg pakora chaat) , main ( veg Buriyani) and the paratha bread where exquisite!...The Cobra beer was nicely chilled and the service from Noor was friendly and efficient ..Will definately be back to sample more of the menu in the relaxing atmosphere

Another delicious meal at Heat Restaurant, never a bad meal or take out. We ordered a Tikka, Korma, Murgh Jalfrezi & a fish sizzler dish, all came out hot and delicious. Happy to return!

Consistently great food and service... We are regulars and highly recommend!

Went here for a birthday with family and friends. Food was delicious and fresh and the staff were very attentive. Looking forward to returning again soon.

We've never had a bad meal with Heat- live in the village and eat there/takeaway regularly. Although it is quite pricey, knowing that you're going to get a good curry is worth the price. I go for the veggie curries which are packed with flavour....M

We have eaten in and had take away every time it has been 100% spot on. Probably one of the best Indians I've had. Highly recommend a sit in meal very good atmosphere excellent service and good

My server was named Walker, I came here for the first time as a recommendation from a friend. We ordered starters and mains, the portions were very generous and the food was really tasty. The staff were very accommodating all the way through and made...More

Food here always lovely. Care is taken over every detail. Walker looked after us very well, offering some great advice on menu choices.

We have eaten here several times over the last few months and each time have been given excellent food and great service. We will undoubtedly go back again soon!

Food excellent, service brilliant. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend 😃 Ambience is very nice as was the music.

I absolutely love visiting Heat. Their food is incredible, such amazing flavours and the presentation is perfect. The staff are exceptional hosts, they go above and beyond to make you feel special. Tonight we had a red rose on our table and were offered a...More

Just eaten here and had an excellent experience. Quality food and service and at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend!

Excellent tasting food, great service.

Went for my sisters birthday with family & friends the food was amazing staff so welcoming & polite we will definitely be back

Amazing food, very high quality. Taste amazing. Great variety of food. Very clean and tidy restaurant. The staff are fantastic and are feel very welcoming. Love it

Had a great night here to celebrate my sister’s 60th birthday. The food was very good, fresh and tasty! Plenty to eat, I’d definitely recommend it.

Came here for my birthday meal, second time I've been, lovely service, lovely and friendly staff,food was beautiful again! Waiter was fab and very friendly checking we were ok throughout the night, defo recommend

Great atmosphere Staff and chef make you feel very welcome Went in for a curry which was beautiful best curry I’ve ever had and still go two years down the line

I have eaten here a number of times and I always have a brilliant meal. The staff are friendly and accommodating and clearly knowledgeable about the menu, helping people choose. They always accommodate my requests and the food is divine. Could not recommend more highly!

We came here for a birthday party a couple of months ago and were treated so well we come back for every birthday meal now, including tonight! The waiters are lovely and go out of their way to give us a special night.

We have recently moved into East Leake and now have had several takeaway meals from heat. Every single time the food has been exceptional! We highly recommend them!

My local indian restaurant, which is always welcoming, and deliver great food and service, to eat in or as take away

Lovely food lovely services highly recommend amazing staff very friendly and will accommodate ur dietary needs

The food is amazing here and the naan breads are the best I've tasted outside India ! Staff are friendly and attentive and the food is brought to the table quickly . The restaurant is modern and clean and has a lovely atmosphere . Would...More

We tried Heat when our usual curry house had let us down, and it was so good that we became regulars. We have eaten here every other week for over 6 years, and we have never ever had anything but excellent food, and great service...

Four of us enjoyed an excellent meal on Saturday 01/06.2024. The portion size was very generous and tasty. My Methi chicken tikka was superb! We’ll be back again very soon!!

A very nice meal, will definitely return.

Superb, delicious cuisine and friendly, courteous service. Overall, brilliant evening in extremely, clean environment with unobtrusive music. Refreshing beers and coffee rounded off an immensely satisfying evening.

You need to try Sunday evening.... it's GREAT!

Great place, excellent food, super friendly staff!

Had a lovely meal dining in on the 2 for 1 weds evening, really good value for money. Staff couldn't be more helpful will definitely go again

Heat does the best Indian food. We often get takeaways from here. Tonight we had a meal at the restaurant. The poppadoms and dips are amazing. I had chicken pokora and then a lamb rogan josh with pilau and peshwari naan. The food was 10/10, the lamb was so tender too. The staff pay good attention to detail, it feels like a proper treat. We will definitely be back!

Delicious food, reasonable prices and amazing service 👍🏻

Absolutely perfect. A wonderful restaurant!

Best curry! Staff are amazing , food is always perfect . Service is 10/10 !! We eat in and have take away.

Take away - yet again excellent food and huge variety. Food was as good as when you go to the restaurant.

Excellent food and excellent service considering how busy they were.

Ordered delivery for guests coming for my daughter’s birthday. Food came an hour early, despite putting in a time slot on the order. We ended up eating separately as some of the food would have spoiled. Staff were utterly dismissive when I rang to complain, there was no offer of any kind of recompense or consolation. I would have expected better from a restaurant that relies on local customers. Very disappointing and for the price the food was not very special, not that we were really in the mood for it anyway after this fiasco. I’ll order from The Cottage instead next time, it’s cheaper and the quality is the same.

Dined here just before Christmas on a Tuesday so had the banquet meal off the menu, food was superb, service and atmosphere was spot on not hurried like some restaurants, would highly recommend

Ordered food to be delivered at 6:50pm. Called up at 7:10 to ask where the delivery was and was told ‘maybe 10 minutes’, very bad customer service. Food was never delivered.

Fantastic food served tonight! Nice starters followed by main. Will absolutely be back to try out other dishes! Complimentary to the chef.

We were very disappointed with this restaurant. Mediocre food (curry tasted like it was out of a jar!). Very bland but also very expensive. No hand dryer in ladies toilets (only toilet roll to dry hands on… been the same for the last two years according to another customer). We won’t return.

First visit having booked a table for the advertised 241 Wednesday dine in meal. Had to use online form to book this. Fully booked which was a good sign. Food good but embarrassed when we came to pay and weren't aware this was cash only deal. Website info out of date and hard to find menu.

Great customer service food was amazing as well, would 100% recommend!

We’ve ordered takeaway from Heat a few times recently and tonight I made a mistake and accidentally ordered the Chicken Tikka main instead of Chicken Tikka Masala…best mistake I’ve made for a while - one word; epic! Thanks Heat for one of the best meals for a while!

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant. On one hand the food was delicious, full of flavour and not oily like some takeaways. On the other hand the portions were small for the price charged, lots of sauce and not a lot of meat. For £8-10 a dish I expected more in the container.

We had a delivery. Asked for 7pm & bang on time!! Lovely guy who delivered, seen him a few times in the restaurant. Food was absolutely delish!! Highly recommend them

Decided to try on Wednesday when they do a promotion of 2 mains for one, and it was busy! Seems there had been a run on Red Wine, and finished up with third choice, a Merlot, which was quite palatable. Ordered Popadoms for two, with dips, two mains, three side dishes and a Peshwari Naan, the portions were good sizes, tasty and none left over, and the naan was enjoyable. Would we go back, yes we would, but now having tasted the food not particularly on a promotion night. The owner had a chat after, and suggested we book early, and request a table that is not a main route in the restaurant.

Outstanding! The best way I can express how this place made me feel is that after showing a modicum of menu awareness I felt I was cooked for as if I were part of their home team. I chose a chicken methi (I love fenugreek in curries), along with some pilau rice, a chapati (always makes you look like you know what you’re doing!😉), and here’s the clincher. I fancied some spinach but I’m not a fan of it loaded with potatoes. Who needs potatoes at a curry, right?! I also fancied some chickpeas and so I asked, could I have spinach and chickpeas together. They only went and told me they thought it was a brilliant combination and would henceforth be suggesting it and offering it on the menu. The staff were a delight, interested in why I was visiting. Charming in spades without being at all cheesy or greasy! They nailed it tonight. Oh! And I was given a takeaway box to take the other half (it was late so I didn’t want to eat too much (- I don’t half like a bracket, do I?!?). So now I’m sorted for lunch tomorrow too.

So fresh food, super speedy service lovely staff.definitely recommend

We visited as a family of four. I had chicken madras and my wife had a biryani. The food was tasty and the portion sizes ample. My wife had more than she could eat. Prices seemed reasonable. The restaurant was quiet on the evening - we went just after six o’clock. Service was friendly and prompt.

Probably the best restaurant I have used. Extremely flavoursome food and great service.very courteous staffs and most obliging.

Had a lovely meal this evening with the other half. Highly recommend, beautiful food as always, friendly service and great atmosphere

Had the new Sunday lunch today which was excellent. The English roasts and Indian dinners were beautiful and also the starters, desserts. Generous portions cooked perfectly. The children's meals were also a good size. We were made very welcome and had good service. We will definitely go back.

What a great Sunday lunch, nice to be able to mix traditional Sunday lunch and a curry for those that don’t like a roast. Would highly recommend!

My name m.owen booked table for ten food and service was amazing

Top food, a little slow on service when busy but a good place to eat

Was amazing food and the service was good waiters and owner really helpful we even met two lovely people there

We have just been to the Heat restaurant for the first time. The food was first class with service to match. This restaurant must be in the top 3 restaurants that I've ever been too and I've had a lot of curries in my time. The children even got a free ice cream and when I told them I was a big kid too, I even got one, not many restaurants would do that I was very impressed.

Great option to eat out for Sunday lunch. Satisfied my Sunday lunch curry cravings…with the additional bonus of being able to add Yorkshire puddings to my dish Will try the Sunday dinner with a curry sauce next time :)

Had a Sunday lunch of Lamb which was cooked perfectly, with generous proportions of vegetables. The traditional gravy tasted delicious. I had a veg soup starter which was tremendous. Can't praise the meal enough, beautiful !

Very welcoming the food was very tasty and the service was brilliant very good highly recommend

I rang on Tuesday 10th of January to make a booking for Wednesday 11th at 6pm and was told by the member of staff that they didn't have the diary at hand but would ring back the next day to confirm . Had no confirmation from heat so I rang at 5pm to confirm only to be told they were fully booked. Either forgot to ring or just couldn't be a rsed.

The food was very tasty. The taste of the Indian and Pakistani dishes were captured very nicely. The flavours were very prominent. Guests were made to feel comfortable and very welcome. The spice level was altered as per each person's preference. People going as a whole bunch can sit and dine comfortably. The very overall experience was very pleasant.

Went a few weeks ago, managed to squeeze us in at late notice just before Christmas, on a busy night, which was excellent of them. Food was tasty and fresh, and all our party had nothing but compliments. Starters, mains, breads, all top quality. There are plenty of veggie options too. Service was friendly and attentive. Very busy, but always managed a smile. Many thanks, will be back when that way again.

Terrible! Ordered a take away and told to collect after 45minutes, turn up to be told they have no idea how long it will be then they just walked away! I had to enquire what was happening and was told its a mess and people still waiting- restaurant was near enough empty! So cancelled order, wont bother again..clowns!

Went to Heat last night with friends for our Christmas meal. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend a visit. A big shout out to Laina who looked after us.

Visited here on Friday night, restaurant was very busy but the food was extremely good, very tasty and fresh.

Great Indian restaurant in East Leake. We have not been for a few years and it is now so much better. The food is tasy and hot, and the plates are hot which is not always the case in other restautrants. The wine we had was good. The staff are freindly and welcoming and the waitresses are excellent even tough it was very busy. Great value for money, especially Wednesdays 2 for 1 offfer on mains. We enjoyed our meal so much we went back again in the same week, and will go again in the near future

Tasteless, greasy and mediocre portions. Spice level wasn’t particularly great either. Naan bread was wet and burnt. Rice was one step up from boil in the bag. Disappointing.

Lovely food, I had lamb and it was cooked perfectly. Not too long of a wait which for a Saturday was good.

Great service, great quality food and excellent value

First time we had used this takeaway, I main meal missing from order so had to ring and wait for order to be delivered. Rest of meal was nothing special, nan bread was cold. Would not rush back!

Fantastic food and brilliant service. We called in without a booking and they made space for us happily.

Excellent facility, great food, very friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

Yet another excellent meal, definitely recommend

Nice place! We went for the 2 4 1 on mains & although nice I felt the portions were quite small. I'm unsure if this is a usual portion size or was smaller as 241

Just move to the area was told to try this restaurant. Food was very poor & tasteless greasy naan bread was coated in grease crispy chicken was not crispy. Was totally over priced. Had a lot better for a lot less money

Had a fantastic takeaway from here. I would highly recommend. The spice blends compliment the dish perfectly for a fantastic curry 5*

A great meal but service was painfully slow.

Fantastic food! What else is there to say?

Had a lovely meal tonight with my sister and a school friend. Food was very flavoursome and when asked for something which wasn't on the menu it was was no bother. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Currys was well nice couldn’t go wrong with it will be going there again

Heat restaurant in East Leake was recommended to me and I certainly wasn't disappointed. The food was great quality and portion sizes generous. Attentive staff ensured that I was well looked after for the duration of my visit.

We've been eating at / having takeaways fromn Heat for ~ 10 years and they were just the best - fantastic food, albeit never cheap but thats fine if the food is good. Sadly the last 3 takeaways weve had from them have been quite poor, very greasy, not at all good. We suspect that either ownership or the chef or both has changed as the presentation of the food is also different - more heavy-handed. Sadly therefore we will go elsewhere in future....Shame
