Tatra Eastern Corner in Leicester

Such a gem in the middle of Leicester! Fanatic food and lovely staff. Don't miss it when you're in town.

Just a really nice place to have a meal. Great food, well presented. Photo is Viennese roast beef with rice. The lady serving is gorgeous.

Best restaurant in Leicester. Amazing fresh delicious food

We found this little gem on our weekend trip in Leicester and it did not disappoint! The authentic flavours and atmosphere brought me back memories from home. Thank you for the lovely experience, we hope to visit again soon!

Good food, service and atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Will go again to try more Slovakian food. Well recommended 👌

Good food and fantastic service would highly recommend it. Prices are good too

Excellent service and good food which I believe is quite authentic as well. Honey cake is very good as well!

Very enjoyable meal for 2 at this cosy restaurant. Reasonable prices and the food was tasty too.

Placed an order over 20 pound the dish that doesn't even worth buying it.This not the worse part, The worse about this dish is how this popular dish was cooked segedinky gulas there was flavour bits every where in the sauce disgusting plno hrudky tam bolo od muki to je katastrofa hnus

I was at these restaurants throughout the last game of the World Cup, which was ice hockey, and my country of origin ended up winning.I had frying cheese with chips, and the proprietors and workers at these restaurants are such pleasant individuals. The ambiance was wonderful, and the food was superb. Visiting that location and experiencing the flavour of Czechoslovakian cousins is something I strongly suggest.

My original review is below but save to say on our recent three visits in 2024, the food is a good as ever and the service is now speedy, too! It's not a haute cuisine meal, but it is of the highest quality, served well and very tasty - truly authentic Slovak cuisine. ORIGINAL REVIEW Authentic and welcoming; great tasting food; but utterly ridiculously s-l-o-w. Almost ruined the experience - and to be told we hadn't been waiting an hour when we'd been there even longer didn't help. Another table was more vocal about their delay. We'll return but let's hope they get the chef issues sorted out!

The best goulash in all of Leicester. An amazing little Hungarian restaurant in the city :)

Found this little gem as we were walking by and popped in to see if they had availability. Thankfully they did as we had the most fabulous meal at a reasonable price. The service was very friendly and welcoming, definitely worth a visit

Brilliant undiscovered restaurant with superb service

Best ever place , lovely food and great service!

Really good food. You can taste a good Eastern European dishes and beer

Wonderful food and such good service and very friendly staff. I visited with my family for some authentic Czech/ Eastern European food and we were very happy! I highly recommend this place!

Small, friendly restaurant serving really different but tasty food. The waitress was really friendly & welcoming. Well Worth a visit

Lovely, cosy place to dine. The food was amazing, staff very friendly and prices are reasonable. Looking forward to go back there soon.😍😍😍

The best restaurant in Leicester.

Finally, I had a chance to visit this lovely restaurant. The food was very nice, and the portions were large. I will definitely come again.

A lovely hidden gem! Stopped by with a friend for lunch and had the loveliest time. The food was great: generous portions, freshly cooked and very tasty! The service was lovely; it was like being in a friend’s house. I will definitely go back the next time I am in Leicester.

Hunters schnitzel followed by honey cake was delicious and filled me up for the day.

Went for an evening meal on a Saturday with friends. Very friendly, patient waiting staff, a great selection of aperitifs and other drinks. It offers something that might be unique in Leicester, a really great selection of Eastern European dishes that really taste authentic (based on visits to Prague and having tried Hungarian food several times). It's pretty simple on the inside but the dishes are lovely. For an inexpensive dinner out with friends/family, it's very hard to go wrong here and I'll certainly return.

My partner lived in Europe for most of her life and has raved about the Czech cuisine for some time. We've been to Tatra twice now and I have to say we're blown away with the heavenly food and attentive service. If you're in the market for delicious, home cooked recipes, this is definitely the place to be. We've decided we're going to work through the whole menu. 😊

I initially found this hidden gem on wanderlog.com "50 best restaurants in Leicester 2023" article in which it placed 5th and I am so glad I went to find out more about it for myself. A small, authentic Czech and Slovak restaurant, many of the reviews on this site speak about how special it is for those with heritage from these two countries but the welcome is just as kind and warm for those of us who don't. The flavour of the food is excellent, the prices and number of choices are excellent too. It is a small place so please give yourself plenty of time to enjoy it (maybe not the best place if you have theatre tickets and need to rush your food) but being welcomed into a family atmosphere for some classic homely cooking deserves that bit of extra time.

My uncle and I are doing a world food tour in Leicester and today we went to Tatra Eastern Corner. The range of different choices in the menu was surprising and I wasn’t sure what to have until the LOVELY host helped me pick the medium sausage to start with ( though she suggested the large, if she reads this she’ll know who we were now haha ), she was right I could’ve eaten the bigger portion, the beef goulash was a good choice, more about the taste than the look ( not fancy but the taste mattered and it was lovely), the Olga cocktail was refreshing, and hey the Mulled Gin perfectly complimented the dessert. Oh, she was intrigued by the jam my uncle brought me from a holiday and was even happy to chat a bit whilst still making sure other people were being served.

A great find in Leicester. Interesting menu, great prices and the goulash pancake was the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time!

Czech and Slovakian traditional food. Very nice, great taste, reasonable prices. Can reccomend only 🤩

Great venue. Good east european food.

The service was excellent, waiting time wasn’t long, the waitress was super friendly I ordered the The Montenegro chicken schnitzel, it was cooked to perfection a and the portion is big enough for two. The cocktail was so delicious, I got Olga’s drink. The atmosphere of the place is very nice and chill, highly recommend I would definitely go there again and try more dishes

The food was delicious and full of flavour reminded me of my childhood, me & partner had Hungarian gulaš and medvník finished with some nice beer will definitely visit again would definitely recommend.

Bardzo przyjemne miejsce z przesympatyczną obsługą,super jedzenie. W tle Słowacka tv co wróciło mnie do lat 70siątych.BARDZO POLECAM

We stumbled upon this lovely little place tonight. Such friendly staff and service and great clients too who all welcomed us so nicely. Thank you for a lovely evening, we will definitely be back

Super prístup, nie je to ďaleko od vlakovej stanice co je fantastické. Príjemná obsluha a jedlo bolo mňamkove.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this super friendly restaurant in Leicester, and its Slovakian roots made it an especially sentimental experience for me. If you're looking for a Michelin star experience with mini portions, this isn't the place for you, but if you want warm welcoming, homely atmosphere and authentic, generously sized Slovakian food, then you've come to the right place! From the moment I stepped inside, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness, and the staff were such stars. The food was simply delicious and I will definitely be back with my family in the near future. My sincere thanks go out to the team, regulars for giving me a taste of home.

Dobrá plzeň ale ty porce by mohly být větší.

After hearing good reviews I decided to arrange a surprise birthday meal for my partners 30th birthday. I spoke to the manager over the phone to book it and he couldn’t have been more polite and helpful. Upon arrival the staff were very friendly and and couldn’t do enough to help organise everything for the surprise. Everyone said food and drink was good and at a reasonable price too. Next time we’re in Leicster city centre we will definitely be returning to try something else of the menu, highly recommend and thank you.

Small, basic restaurant serving good food. Friendly service - a lot of love goes into these dishes.

I had goulash today. It was really good, texture was perfect, and it was just spicy enough for me !

Really nice Czech restaurant with a good menu of standards, well prepared and presented and usually an excellent soup of the day. We visit Leicester every year for the comedy festival and Tatra Eastern Corner has been one of our go-to places for some years.

Veľmi príjemná obsluha, dobrá zábava, usmievavá a milá pani majiteľka aj s manželom.. veľmi spokojný. čisté a príjemné prostredie.

Beautiful food and atmosphere with a really nice host. Food was perfect and hearty but I must say the highlight was trying the many Slovak spirits. Very strong but super tasty! Will definitely be going back.

As a Slovak I love going there as the meals are very tasty, would highly recommend to anyone to visit!!

Lovely small restaurant. We had high hopes as we were quite excited to visit it for the 1st time. The food was tasty however some items on the menu seem a bit overpriced after trying it. We were surprised by the service charge added to the bill. In overall, we ate the food and due to how expensive it ended up we won't return.

Flavourful dishes. Quiet atmosphere while not being oppressively so. Very glad to have come here!

Lovely food but now adding service charge to your bill so making it quite expensive

Great service, food tasted great and the staff had a laugh with us too.

Had fried cheese with chips and tartar sauce... Exactly what you would get in Czechia or Slovakia... Highly recommend ❤️

Myself & Partner have been dining at Tatra for Years, we love the authentic Czech experience & OMG their soup is unbelievable 🙂

We have been visiting this place since 2017! My husband find Tatra for Valentine surprise as I am from Czech. It was fantastic evening and we never had disappointed night here. Every time we are greeted warmly with great and genuine service, food is delicious and plenty to choose from, accompanied with Czech beer, feels like been back in Czech. Thank you guys. Na zdraví!👍😀

First time I've ever had Slovakian food. But, believe me it won't be the last. Very helpful staff. Food very well cooked and presented. I'll definitely be going back. So, if you're in Leicester, go visit. Won't be disappointed.

A lovely little find, when we took a wrong turn on a road. Highly recommended doing the same

We had a lovely meal, thanks so much! The food and service were excellent and so was the atmosphere.

Loved this place how most English Pubs & Bars should be with good customer service & staff. May this place get more successful in the future.

Took my family to this restaurant today. My wife is Czech and she wanted a taste of home. Czech & Slovak food is really nice and this place cooks is beautifully. Restaurant has a genuine authentic look about it to add to the atmosphere. The big bonus is Czech beer on top!! Highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back!!

Great service, all food cooked to order

Had a great Farmers Platter for 2 and 2 nice Czech beers. We are happy to return and try more of the menu.

Velmi pekne restauracia Tatra prijemna obsluha vynikajuce jedlo

Had a lovely meal. Host was very welcoming and friendly. Food was fantastic, not over complicated but done very well. Would eat here time and time again. Thanks for your hospitality

Had dinner here on a whim - the food was great, friendly service, fair prices, and it had a nice buzz. Worth a try!

Its a place to be to try Slovakian food. Its amazing. The staff are very friendly. The beers are different and worth trying

Looking for a place to eat during the comedy festival and stumbled across this place. Really welcoming and cosy. The food is delicious and freshly cooked, just as it tastes in Prague! Lovely staff as well. Highly recommended!

Came here for our valentines meal, my partner is Czech and first time for both of us. Service very good, food very nice but both ordered the goulash but found both sauces very watery but was very nice. I ordered the Camembert for the starter and then my partner ordered the lemon harlenka cake which was lovely too. We both drank pilsner urquell, we both love this and it’s just like being back in Prague. This is on draught. There was a few tables in on that night, very good prices. Lovely meal and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definately return.

We ate here after watching the Foxes and found it to be a little gem. Very Friendly and the food was exceptionally good and fairly priced. Would definitely recommend.

We came in unexpectedly after a very long day at work....and it was amazing! Excellent food(the taste is amazing and you could feel everything was home made), the team in the restaurant is lovely and super nice and polite.The portions of the mains are good and the quality-price is very good!Will go back again. Thank you for being very attentive and treating us so well!

Really classic eastern european food. Think potatoes, cabbage, pork, dumplings, stews and soups. Everything was cooked really nicely and well flavoured. The restaurant was nicely decorated and the staff were very welcoming.

Loved our visit to this restaurant which we happened upon by chance. Lots to choose from on the menu, authentic Czech and Slovak cuisine. The spicy chicken starter was a winner with us both, I had the goulash, it was excellent and my husband had the pork schnitzel also a great choice. The service was spot on and a welcome feel to the place. Nice to visit an individual restaurant rather than the same old chain places. Would definitely visit again should we return to Leicester. Thank you Tatra!

Popped in last night not sure what I wanted but went for the special of schnitzel plus a beer. Not disappointed- lots of it, fresh & tasty. Welcome was pleasant-it is very Czech! Worth a visit if near the station in Leicester

Great food , best beer , absolutely nice lady with husband plus beautiful decoration...human feeling like home restaurant.I love this restaurant.The only one problem is that it is far from liverpool.I recommended and best way for me - eat in a restaurant and have another food packed take away>Thank You

15/6/19We two middle aged guys were visiting our friend in central Leicester and decided to treat him to a local meal for putting us up.On our wandering round in the day we came across this interesting restaurant which offered something different from the usual Indian or Turkish fare in the area. Our friend had not heard of it so I looked it up on TA and saw the favourable reviews, including extolling Anna's service and friendliness.We arrived at about 7:40 on the Saturday evening, hoping to beat the evening rush, to find a surprisingly quiet restaurant with only a group of four eating by the window.We took a table between them and the bar. A cheerful waitress welcomed us and offered us drinks, we asked for the menu to choose the drinks, which she gave us quickly and we ordered a pint of Kozel beer (£3.95) for me, an 'Olga's drink (£4.95) for our host and a Tequila Sunrise (£4.95) for my friend.We chose our dishes from the interesting menu which included dishes we had experienced in Czechoslovakia and since the split. My friend and I have become Pescatarians/Vegetarians since our travels and the menu included a whole vegetarian section with some interesting vegetarian dishes, although none with seafood surprisingly. I thought I could add an extra side dish but the waitress advised that it would be too much. Our host has a peculiar diet and ordered a weird combination not on the menu but she agreed to cater for his demands.The drinks came in good time and by by 8pm we were toasting with selfies. Our host asked for an extra Cointreau to bolster his Olga's drink as he likes his drinks strong (it came up on the bill at £3 later as expected). My friend found his TS quite adequate. We confirmed with the waitress that she was the famed Anna from Hungary and she posed with us for another selfie!The dishes arrived by 8:23 and were hearty and generous as we were used to in those and other countries in Central Europe. My friend and I had chose the two different veggie dishes of Stuffed Potato Pancakes (£8.50) and a Stew (£7.95) with accompanying salads and side dishes of Chips and Potato Wedges respectively. The Side Salads included rocket and slightly braised red cabbage. We shared bits of each others' and agreed that they were two very tasty dishes! The chips were very good too, as were the tasty potato wedges. The dishes were quite filling too, another pint was in order for my friend and myself.Our host had ordered a half litre bottle of 'Perliva' fizzy water (£1.75) but a 375c bottle of Strathmore arrived. His Stuffed Breaded Chicken (£9.75) came with boiled parsleyed potatoes and an extra portion of tartar sauce and (50p) sauerkraut (unlisted) as he had ordered despite being advised not to. He also had the red cabbage and rocket side salad. He found the food very tasty and cooked well but too much to eat (he was warned!) so let us have some he could not eat (I never allow anything left at a restaurant as it is an insult to the chef and also my mum went through WW2 as a refugee in East Prussia eating bark off birch trees!). I found the sauerkraut to be fresh, a bit oily but not fermented/vinegary like I am used to (no problem as it varies regionally). At the end we were all very full but the menu offered deserts which we thought we could squeeze in (we rarely have starters or deserts but this was a treat).At 9pm we ordered the menus again to browse the deserts. By then a few other people had arrived to dine including someone who behaved like the boss/owner along with a friend. The group of four left and Anna cleared the table and relaid it. The place was still not even a third full which we thought surprising for such a quality establishment. We ordered our deserts and they came quickly. I had the recommended honey and walnut Marlenka slice of cake with foam cream and drizzled chocolate (£2.95) which I regretted as it was factory produced, too sweet, sticky and not my type of pudding at all; oh well, my mistake. My friend fared better with a generous, tasty and not so sweet jam stuffed Pancake (£3.25) with cream and chocolaty sauce whilst our host had a Black Forest Sundae (£4.50) which he managed to finish because it was so nice.We finished by 9:10 and my friend decided to round the meal off with a single Slivovica (£3/£3.75).By 9:15 we ordered the bill and it arrived printed at £68.65. As we were treating our host we did not examine it too much and took the sum to be quite reasonable. They only took cash so my friend and I collated our monies together. Our host (who did not see the bill) offered to pay the service on top of the total so added an extra tenner in cash to cover his extra Cointreau too.We paid and left pleased and sated. Later I examined the bill and noticed a couple of small anomalies such as overcharged sparkling water (no doubt Cz water is hard to source but it was a big bottle specified) and the tartare sauce/sauerkraut mix up (but undercharged) which compensated but was no big deal as the overall meal was wonderful.On writing this review almost two weeks later and going through the pictures taken I now realise that the original total was £57.20 to which they added £11.45 on top which I now see as an automatic 20% service charge which I had not seen specified anywhere on the menu or in the restaurant (I am used to scouring both sources!). It seems then we gave an £18 tip (30%) which is quite extravagant for us; our mistake for not checking the bill in detail at the time. The service was excellent, albeit there were very few diners so Anna had time for us.We all went for a walk (via a Serbian Orthodox Church nearby) about town, had a drink in the Wygston's House Bar and returned via the restaurant at about 11:15 which was still quiet with the 'boss' character chatting with more friends. Our host went home to bed so my friend and I went to the busy Dover Castle nearby and returned to the flat via the restaurant to find the same characters chatting away at about 00:20.A very nice place with excellent good value food which ought to be frequented more. Just check the bill and the service if you think it is worth it!

Fant tilfeldig denne lille perlen av en restaurant. Variert meny med fokus på slovakiske og tsjekkiske retter. Veldig hyggelig betjening som veiledet i menyen. Olga, som er eier, kom ut og forsikret seg om at maten levde opp til forventningen. Og servitør Anna puslet hele tiden rundt og fulgte opp. Prøv et lite glass Tatra Thea. (Ps! Det er slett ikke te, men en 62 prosent aperitiff. Nydelig)

We popped into this restaurant today for lunch and we were not disappointed. I had the baked camembert and the pierogi for my main course. They were both very tasty! The portions were massive but the food was so amazing that I ate it all!!! Our waitress was Anna who was very lovely and looked after us very well. We will definitely return!! Thank you!! Smacznego!!!

Tasty food, we had the Hungarian goulash, chicken stuffed with ham and cheese and pierogi filled sauerkraut. Definitely try the marlenka honey cake ! Overall food was tasty, tasted authentic and the restaurant is worth a visit.

Came across Tatra by accident as it's tucked away on a side street. Very pleased to find it, and taken aback that it's been open four years! Just my sort of place - privately run, cosy, serving great freshly prepared food in decent quantities at a very reasonable price. Shall definitely return, and learn more about the mysteries of Czech/Slovak cuisine. The draught Slovak beer is also worth a mention - malty, fresh and flavoursome. Just be aware that it's a cash-only place - no card reader.

Nice to eat something different not only Turkish food in Leicester,

A nice small chez restaurant. Simple but very good food. It was also very cheap. Nice staff. I took a while before diner was served, but nevertheless it was fine.

We booked this Czech/Slovakian restaurant because we were not familiar with food from this part of Europe and fancied trying something a bit different. The restaurant is quite small, sitting on a fairly busy road and is fairly informal. Having taken a bit of a gamble, we were heartened to find native speakers inside (always a good sign). There was a good selection of authentic food on the menu and the prices were very reasonable. Our Hungarian waitress was most attentive and coped with our requests to change various parts of the menu. The food was simply delicious and good sized portions too.

A lovely meal. We had 3 courses. The service from 'Anna' was lovely. She was very keen to encourage us to eat certain dishes which for me was fine as I had little previous experience of this style of cuisine. For example I chose dumplings with my chicken in batter and was advised that this would be better with rice. That for me was helpful. The puddings were delicious and less than £3. The drinks were good. My Czech beer was lovely and around £3.50, excellent for a restaurant in my opinion. Overall the food was very good value -around £16-17 for 3 courses.

What an excellent find and a refreshing change to try eastern European food. Located in a side street in the city centre, between Granby Street and Charles Street, and also convenient for the station, it's definitely worth seeking out. We were a group of nine and all found something tasty to tempt us from a wide ranging menu which included various vegetarian options, also found to be delicious. The quality and flavour of the food was good as was the service from efficient, helpful staff. Prices are very reasonable. Cosy quiet atmosphere that allowed us to chat without obtrusive noise or overly loud background music. Would highly recommend. Will definitely return.

When one of our party suggested a Czech Slovak meal I admit I wasn’t keen - I was imagining cabbage, cabbage or cabbage. I’m so pleased that I was persuaded otherwise. The food was excellent, the staff friendly and it’s a really good value menu too. The food did take a little while to come but it was absolutely worth the wait.

Beautiful little restaurant with real czech and slovak food. We always come here and it is great to support the small business' in the area. The owners and staff are lovely and can guide you through their menu. 100% recommend to anybody to go and visit over any other rubbish generic chain restaurants in Leicester!!!

Popped up to Liecester for the weekend with a friend and we were looking for somewhere to eat. Luckily we chanced upon this place. Lovely service, good food, and reasonably priced. Would definitely eat here again! Thank you for a nice meal!

The food was great, reminded me of the meal I had when visiting Bratislava, just as good. Very good value.

Don't miss this just because it is not on the main street. I love the food and really enjoy the time with my friend in here.

Me and my partner came for a meal for valentines day with no expectations as this was our first experience of this type of food. We were pleased we chose to come here as our meal was nothing short of delicious! The vibe is homely and casual and the service was great! Would definitely return, note portions are big!! Thank you for a lovely and delicious meal!

We dropped in for a meal before a show on Valentines night.

We have only been once before , it was pretty fantastic that time . For what ever reason that was a coupe of years ago but on a whim we returned. What a great idea , food was nothing short of fantastic, beer great and reasonable price . We will definitely not leave it as long next time .

I went to the restaurant last night and it was fabulous. The food was fantastic as was the service. Being celiac it is hard to find places you feel secure eating and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. Will be going back soon.

After reading some very good reviews about this restaurant, me and my brother decided to give it a try

Een leuk en eenvoudig restaurantje waar je simpel maar goed kunt eten. De eigenaar is uitermate vriendelijk. Het is er...

We visited this little gem again for a birthday celebration. Excellent food reasonably priced, friendly, relaxed atmosphere and welcoming hosts...

Czech and Slovak food was new to me - and very well worth trying. We were pleased to find several...

Disfrutamos de nuestra visita a Tatra y tenía comida sabrosa de Europa oriental, cerveza y vino. La comida está bien de precio. A poca distancia de la estación de tren y del centro de la ciudad. Bonito para algo diferente y volveremos para probar algunas...

La visitamos por fin Leicester siempre acaba teniendo malas y notamos la Esquina Tatra Oriental mientras caminábamos por la ciudad el Viernes antes del primer concierto del fin de semana. Habiendo leído el menú que decidimos comer allí el día siguiente, y no nos decepcionó....

Servicio agradable, cerveza sabía muy bien. Visité este pub muchas veces y nunca tuve problema. Me visita este pub muchas veces en el futuro.

Me fui con un grupo de amigos recientemente. El personal y amable y el ambiente es cómodo y acogedor. Compartimos algunas entradas y fueron excelentes, pero luego llegó la red y simplemente no estaban a la misma altura. Eran comestible, pero nada especiales, la mayoría de la gente en la mesa que pedimos alguna forma de gulash y simplemente no eran muy memorable. Creo que tendría que replantearse los platos principales, así que puede estar en el mismo nivel como los entrantes. La comida es razonable como son las bebidas, nos tiene cerveza y hay una buena selección de opciones. Por favor tenga en cuenta que el restaurante no aceptan tarjetas de crédito, así que recuerde su efectivo.

Este precioso lugar, único en el área, es muy bien vale la pena su visita, pero no esperes a esperar un v-e-r-y largo tiempo aún para el más simple de los principiantes.

Tengo que decir que el hotel de 4 estrellas son por la comida. El restaurante/pub es simple pero llena de República Eslovaca y las personas y el ambiente.

I've enjoyed my traditional slovakian meal. The service and the atmosphere were very friendly. Good value menu. I am interested to come back and try a few more things.
