The Frame in Leicester

Incredible food matched by an amazing service by Antonio and Lily. The highlight of our Leicester trip without a doubt.

5 stars! Food is amazing here! Staff very nice and friendly. Love it here.

Had a really good experience here. Food was great! Service excellent. Possibly a bit more choice on the menu??

Beautiful restaurant and some of the best food I’ve had in Leicester, but the portions are on the small side. My favourite was the muhamarra dip, it was so delicious and the pita bread had a lovely smokey flavour it was divine. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the couscous served with the cod, it was really mushy and gluey. Think it would have been better with rice or potatoes.

Food was astonishing. In regards to the service and atmosphere, we were placed directly in the path of ingoing ad outgoing customers and the room was incredibly loud, it was impossible to have any conversation. We felt rushed for our orders at the beginning of our meal when they needed the table. Our mains came out before our cocktails and starters were finished. A restaurant of this caliber should be able to pace out coursed meals properly. By the end of the meal we felt ignored as the restaurant was slowing down and it took over 20 minutes for someone to come take our dessert order. All in all what should have been an exciting dining experience for my partner and myself was an extremely disappointing evening.

Best food I’ve had in Leicester in a long time. So delicious. Stand out dishes were the whipped feta, sirloin steak, chicken shish and the corn ribs. Definitely coming back again ! Shout out Sanish for his excellent 5* service !

The waiting staff were delightful.

I came to the bottomless brunch a few weeks ago, and I was absolutely amazed! It’s the first time in a while since I’d gone out - but I have to say the atmosphere was great, Dj Sistren was amazing- she played song requests and got us all up moving - more of this is exactly what is needed in Leicester!

It was my first time dining at the Frame and honestly I am so impressed with everything! The atmosphere and overall aesthetic was stunning! And the food was absolutely fantastic! The waiting staff were incredibly kind and one of them even surprised me with a birthday cake as well which almost made me tear up from happiness, it was the perfect gift to end my birthday evening. Overall I had a wonderful time and will definitely be back again soon! A huge Thank you to the team!

Visited Frame for the first time on 25.9.24. The food was really tasty and our waiter Vlad was very helpful from start to finish. I look forward to returning soon to try some of the other dishes on offer.

Came for dinner as a party of five. Food was nice and reasonably priced. The service however was lacklustre. Sat for 20 minutes without any drinks service and had to ask a passing waiter to take our order. There were 4 members of staffing prepping empty tables but nobody taking orders of full tables. Our starters did not come out at the same time. People had finished their starters before others had even started. The main courses came out before everyone had finished their starters. We then had to ask for fresh cutlery and for our starter plates to be cleared after our main plates had been served. We then weren't asked if we wanted any more drinks for the duration of our meal nor were we asked if we wanted deserts. In fact we didnt get any service until we asked for the bill. The atmosphere was also disappointing. It was so loud in the restaurant it was hard to hear people on our table when talking.

We went here for our anniversary dinner and the overall experience was amazing! Great interior decor, nice and polite staffs. We had to wait for a table but not too long. All the dishes were great - the corn ribs were 10/10

The Frame is lovely and I would definitely recommend it x Our favourites were the steak, arancini and calamari.

Went some time back but thought I'd give a review. Great food and very reasonable pricing given the portions. Nothing I could fault really. Staff were brilliant and attentive. We're never bothered by our 1 year old and even kept him entertained. Atmosphere is great and decor is spot on. Would recommend.

Food is really tasty and fresh, and the staff is polite and attentive. Definitely will be back

Amazing restaurant, food and service. Genuinely one of the best restaurants I have been to. Highly recommended. Everything was perfectly delivered and presented. The spiced cod was phenomenal, as was the cheesecake dessert. Service was impeccable. I could not fault this place!

Came here for dinner with the girls. Everything from the starters to mains was enjoyable. The ambience of the place is very nice and cosy with mood lighting. The corn and whipped feta were my favourite from the starters and the lamb shish was delicious and very flavourful. I would come here again.

Great menu, tasty food choices, venue was clean and spacious. Service from Sanish really rounded off a fabulous experience. Would go again

Staff are incredibly friendly and give a good service. I wouldn't give the food 5 stars as our chicken shish were cold and I thought one piece of my chicken was raw in the middle. The mezzes we ordered were delicious, however. The mains were served to us before we had even finished our starters though. Both bottles of white wine were served to us at room temperature. Other drinks were fine. We ended the evening abruptly, shortly after ordering the second bottle of wine by being asked to drink up as they were closing, this was shortly after 10.30pm which wasn't great. Our table was booked for 8.30pm. The restaurant on the upper floor, although on first impressions, looked lovely, we felt the room was so noisy that we could not hear each other speak. Do we want to return? Probably not, I'm afraid.

Fun and vibrant dining experience went here on a date and the food was very flavourful. I got the steak and the other was able to eat vegan and got the tart. Would recommend for solo and group dining . The hummus from the starter was so fresh

Beautiful Tapas Food all of the options we picked couldnt be faulted, staff were very lovely and helpful would definately go again. Thankyou for a lovely meal

This hidden gem is located on St Martin's square in Leicester. It can easily be missed. There's dinning space outside and inside. The inside space is separated to upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs usually used for celebrations. Decor is simple and it has a warm ambience. Food is Mediterranean. Front of house was very efficient in getting us seated. There was a wait in the waiter asking for our orders and the orders coming out. Food was nicely plated and quite delicious. We had the hummus (divine!)-comes with bread, hallumi steak with beetroot, lamb kofta, spiced cod on a bed of couscous. Portions were small so you will need to order a few plates. The cocktail menu could be improved to have more options. I really enjoyed my time here and I will visit again soon.

Nice for evening sit outs with friends and loved ones

I’ve been to the Frame a few times over the last year, and each time they did not disappoint. The food is exceptional, the staff are very friendly and accommodating, and the cocktails are perfect!

Amazing service from Addy! The food was so delicious and great value for money too! We had calamari the lamb kofta and the cod. So delicious go eat there immediatley.

Great food! A bit loud but happy with everything else.

Easily the best restaurant in Leicester! Gorgeous restaurant with a really lovely ambience. The food is delicious, we had the sirloin steaks which were just melting in the mouth great quality meat. Would return again & again

One of the best places in Leicester, for food & drinks. Service attentiveness you can’t fault. Dishes tried so far from the menu are bursting with flavour. Highly recommended if you haven’t been yet!

Devonté was magnificent as was the food! The octopus and steak were incredible but honestly it’s the whipped feta and pitta that takes the gold.

Delicious food & exceptional customer service!!! Absolutely loved it, will definitely be going back! Especially for the fried corn ribs, never tasted anything as good! Great vibes, Yummy food… Amazing.

We attended for my friends birthday and were really well looked after by our waiter Dede. He was kind and friendly and quick with our orders. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely lunch for Father’s Day celebration and food was on point very well seasoned and taste, delicious. Very helpful and friendly staff and the services was great!

Very delicious food at a very reasonable price. Lovely atmosphere. Left very full without breaking the bank for such a high quality meal. Feels relatively healthy but so so tasty. Highlights were whipped feta (wow), all the other dips and lamb kofta, but it was all delicious.

Delicious food, super friendly staff and beautiful decoration. I went two nights in a row because it was so great!!

Went in during the weekend and was served by the lovely Julia. She recommended the Whiskey Sour which was absolutely fabulous. The food was great and lovely atmosphere. Julia really made our night special and will definitely be coming back.

Great customer service, mouth watering meal and amazing vibe.

Lovely meal, Julia was a fantastic host and very attentive throughout. Would recommend! Love you Julia. Charlotte & Joe x

Went on Wednesday evening with a group of 6. We had the set menu and there was sooooo much food. It was all amazing between us we pretty much tried very thing on the menu and the customer service was exceptional. Wish I loved a little closer so I could go move often

Me and my boyfriend went here for our anniversary, and had the best time possible. We were served by Lebron who was a trainee waiter, he was absolutely lovely and gave us the best service. Will definitely be visiting here again :)

Brilliant afternoon with friends

Cozy atmosphere. Staff is amazing makes feel like home. Food is really delicious and the best Martini in the city. Definitely coming back to try desserts.

Interesting and well considered dishes, all cooked well. The cod, corn ribs and muhammara were particularly good. The first floor has a more lively vibe than downstairs, and seemed to attract people getting ready for a night out. Great for a weekend evening. Service was mixed - lots of requests to clear our plates despite us not being finished, but no offer to refill water or offer us more wine. Cocktails were excellent, as was the small bit well considered wine list. Will definitely return

First time here and LOVED it. Lovely decor and atmosphere. Food was amazing, I can't wait to go back

The Frame use to be great, fantastic service, great food with good portions and reasonably priced. This past year it's gone down hill, price increases 25-30%, food portions sizes down considerably, food quality and presentation has declined and service level too. Not a great mother's day lunch for my wife at all.

I don’t eat meat and the options weren’t that many but some of the plates were very good, the service was a 10/10 and the restaurant is amazing.

Brilliant Bottomless Brunch - staff and atmosphere were amazing!

This Frame is everything you could wish for in a restaurant. The ambience was perfect and very romantic, the service was second to none and the staff are simply wonderful. A special thank you to Sanish for his exceptional customer service. The food was a testiment to the chef and i have not stopped thinking about it. The mozzarella arancini balls were the highlight for us crispy and cheesy and the sauce that accompanied it was mouth watering, the calamari was by far the best i have tasted anywhere. The lamb Kofta was flavorful, and the steak was cooked just right and the batata Hara that accompanied it was just as tasteful. This is truly a hidden gem and I will definitely be returning soon!

Took my husband for the first time following a few visits with the girls. He loved it as much as me! Both vegetarian and the choices are great, delicious flavours and a lovely chilled atmosphere. We will definitely be back for another date night.

Fantastic customer service from start to finish, a great atmosphere and of course the main thing, lovely food. The staff can’t do enough for you! Will definitely be back.

A great meal and experience at the Frame. The food was exceptional and a nice ambience 'buzzy' atmosphere too. Would definitely recommend

Me & my boyfriend love going to the Frame. It’s such an incredible restaurant, beautifully decorated the food is unmatched. The staff are so attentive and want to make your experience the best. For anyone who hasn’t been the frame before, I would highly recommend as it’s my favourite restaurant in the city centre.

Lively, popular and we loved the views.

This was my third time at The Frame and it is now a go-to for me. As someone with Celiac Disease and unable to eat gluten, going out to eat can be very difficult. However, The Frame offers so many gluten-free options (I mean almost the entire menu is GF) and they offer GF bread (which is really good!). The staff also ensure you are safe in terms of cross-contamination without making you feel awkward or singled out in front of your group. The food is always amazing and the staff are super attentive and kind. It can get very busy on Friday/Saturday nights so it can be a little loud if you go during a busy time, but that's a good sign for a restaurant. If you want a quieter experience you may want to try it during the week. Overall love The Frame and will definitely be a repeat customer!

Me and my friend went there for my birthday dinner and the service was amazing! The staff were soo lovely and attentive. We went in without a booking on a busy Saturday night but they still managed to get us a table so quickly which we were so grateful for. The ambiance of the restaurant was so lovely, the lights were dimmed and the decor was absolutely gorgeous and breath taking. Me and my friend ordered starters thinking they were mains until we received the food and realised the portions were smaller than expected haha but I must say the food did not disappoint! Me and my friend are also practicing Muslims so we don’t drink alcohol and the bar catered lovely and refreshing alcohol free drinks and they tasted sooo lovely. To finish off the night my friend surprised me with a cake she ordered for me and once we were ready to be we were told the cake was on the house! Honestly I couldn’t recommend this place enough! Especially for special occasions! They also cater to different dietary requirements and the service was absolute chief kisses! Thank you so much to The frame and the whole team for such a special evening!

I recently dined at The Frame and it was unforgettable! The service was warm and fast, making me feel welcome from the start. Each dish served was bursting with flavour, and the stunning design and atmosphere of the restaurant truly elevated the entire dining experience. Highly recommended for an exceptional experience.

Had a lovely meal with friends on Saturday night, great food and service!

Exceptional meal. Food superb. Very pleasant evening.

Great atmosphere, just a bit noisy because everything is closed on account of the weather.... but nevertheless a charming and delightful place

Lovely dining experience with impeccable service from our waitress Zara. We had a big table for a birthday and she was very patient and alert when we needed service, as well as keeping an eye out for the birthday cake request. Only downside would be the tough pita bread which seemed to be a common theme on the table. Lovely dining experience

Update January 2024 Revisited with friends and had an excellent meal. You can still either share plates or order starters & mains. I'm pleased to report that the padron peppers were well cooked, and the corn ribs still excellent. We enjoyed all the dishes so it's hard to recommend just one! Good range of wines and cocktails, excellent service. Booking essential. Sleek new opening in St Martin's, which seems to be the place to go at the moment. It's a small but well-formed menu. You can choose to eat tapas style, or you can do a traditional starter/main/dessert style dinner. We chose tapas style, and had plenty of veggie options to choose from. All were well made and finished, with some lovely flavour combinations. The padron peppers could have done with a bit more cooking, which we fed back to the chef. We'd also highly recommend the corn ribs. There's a very interesting cocktail selection. The rose and prosecco combo (can't remember the name) was excellent. It's early days yet, but service was excellent, and it's clearly popular. We'd definitely revisit. Reservations recommended.

We were really looking forward to dining here but unfortunately I think it’s overhyped. Hummus was very nice. But overall the food is expensive for what it is, and pretty small portions especially for the mains which were £16 ish. All the small plates tasted the same (as if universal seasoning is used). Overall experience was underwhelming. Sonrisa round the corner is much better - exceptional service and great food which is worth paying for.

We were a party of 5 and we all enjoyed the excellent food and drinks! The service was amazing and we we very well looked after. It was my first visit and definitely won’t be that last! Would like to see more on the cocktail list as a firm favourite of mine is a Long Island iced tea! Thank you for looking after us so well.

I recently took the team for a meal here and the service was outstanding. Julia was excellent throughout and was always on hand to resolve our issues. In addition my meal was served tepid which l told Julia who immediately apologised and arranged for a new one to be prepared. Also, which was not expected and l requested for it to be added back in, was the item was removed from the bill. The food was good. Not amazing but definitely worth a visit if you haven't been before. The interior is nicely done and a great place to have a meal where you can converse without competing with background noise.

Great place. Interior is really fresh and modern, the food is great and friendly service.

Without a doubt the best resturant I’ve ever been to! Very grateful The Frame is on our doorstep. Not only is the food to the highest quality, the atmosphere and the service is the best I’ve ever experienced. Couldn’t recommend The Frame highly enough

Had a really nice family meal here and would definitely recommend. Food was great, some dishes however did have a large amount of pomegranates which was sometimes over powering. Cocktails were also superb 10/10

Devanté gave a great service. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Great night.

Second time visiting the restaurant. Amazing food, service & atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely food, lovely staff but terrible service and experience. We were refused entry for over 15 minutes AFTER our table reservation time and made to stand outside in the middle of December, being told it was a fire hazard to let us in. There were a few empty tables inside, and when we were finally allowed in they seated us at a table that had been empty the whole time we were stood outside waiting in the cold. Waitress was very friendly but it took a while to take our drink and food order, and we had to ask 3 different times for some water from 2 different members of staff. The food was actually really nice and I think fairly priced for the quality, despite portions not being huge we were satisfied with what we’d had. Upon paying we put cash on the table and were told they wouldn’t accept it, which was frustrating but not the end of the world. Doubt we’ll go back as I’ve never in my life been made to stand and queue outside a restaurant I’ve booked for, and don’t think the experience is worth it!

Excellent service, we felt so welcomed by wonderful Julia R who not only answered all of our questions but also thoroughly explained the menu and was helpful any time we needed anything ❤️ We had the best time and we'll visit this place soon again!!

Went out with a friend for a dinner. And this place was amazing for a ladies meet up. We were served by a lovely waitress Julia R. She welcomed us with a big smile and made us feel completely relaxed and comfortable. Her knowledge about food was exceptional and her recommendations occurred to be IT. Loved every moment of my visit here. Definitely will come back 😍

Went there for lunch. Service was excellent and food was really nice. However, portions are very small and it's quite pricey for what it is.

Went here for lunch on Friday - the food was very good, the wine was lovely and the service was excellent!! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely food and professional service at reasonable price. Will come and visit again

Service alone deserves 10 stars in all honesty. Gurdeep, owner and our waiters were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout. This was a special occasion for us, including our very first visit, and the entire experience was amazing. Food - 10/10 - cant be faulted. We tried a varied menu and everything was sensational - personal favourites were the Calamari, on the bone chicken main and the cheesecake dessert. Drinks were so unusual and tasted amazing! The pomegranate cocktail is highly recommended. Service - Speaks for itself! Great staff, amazing customer attentiveness, and highly professional. 100% would visit again just to have try other items on the menu.

Great setting, fantastic food & staff go above and beyond to provide great service. Highly recommend a visit.

Great decor, staff was lovely and polite. Loved the food and it was quite affordable. I didn't try the cocktails bit will definitely be back to try them out

Disappointed in the food and service at this place. Was really looking forward to coming here for a special occasion. Firstly called up to book a table to be told they were fully booked. But went on their website and managed to book a table just fine. On arrival lots of empty tables and we were seated at the door where its super cold. Asked to move to be told we can't as we've booked so last minute. We asked another staff member and he gave us three tables to choose from, contradicts the first person who told us no. The whole time we were there we had an empty table of 4 and 2, so didn't see the issue in being moved. The food for mains was served lukewarm and wasn't hot and I think overall its more style over substance. Everything is presented nice and the place inside does look good however the food lacks flavour. If you come here, best to be seated upstairs as downstairs is cold due to the draft of the door being constantly opened. Overall unfortunately a disappointing dining experience.

We went there for dinner! Good food and good service! Tbh I do not like kofta but their kofts was really good! Really good calamari! The cod was well cooked but my only complaint is it did not have salt and the fries did not have salt either. Had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert, the best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had! The service is really really good too!

Stunning meal out for my birthday celebrations. Food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. Definitely book upstairs if you can Thanks for the birthday cheesecake too. Lovely touch to the end of our evening.

I really enjoyed my time here. The food & drinks (mainly drank wine) were amazing and reasonably priced. Service was always with a smile and excellent. We were served by Dee who was very helpful, attentive and was always smiling. Thank you Dee!

12 of us visited, as you expect with different dietary requirements.. Must Say SIM provided exceptional service, the guys a diamond.. hope the restaurant is looking after him. Food we had mixed reviews, but overall Good.

Came here for my best friend’s birthday. The atmosphere is lovely, and the service is absolutely amazing. Lovely welcoming staff who were super polite. Had a lovely time here and the food tasted so good. Worth a visit!

We had a delicious meal on Saturday night at the frame. The food was delicious and portions very generous. Julia our server was a breath of fresh air!

Best meal that I have had in Leicester for ages! Food was original, well presented, tasted delightful and plentiful. Service and atmosphere were superb. My recommendations to all reading this are - Humous, Whipped feta, Chicken wings and the Lamb Shish (Wow! it came cooked medium and was stunning!) I will definitely going again very soon.

We visited on a Tuesday evening, was quiet but was the end of the month so to be expected. Food was very good, humous was nice with a chilli oil, chicken wings could've been crispier and everything was a touch salty. But the oxtail and calamari were excellent. Over all we enjoyed the evening.

Gorgeous resturant, lovely relaxed interior with a beautiful mix of artwork on the wall in a collage. Lovely food, great Muhammara and whipped feta, lovely lamb kofta and chicken shish. Lovely sweet potato and broccoli. The pitta is wood fired and delicious. Will come back many mkre times x

I absolutely love it at The Frame! Amazing service by friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The resident DJ’s ‘Sistern’ are incredible and always bringing the best vibes💅🏼 They play a great mix of different music that suits the atmosphere of The Frame. I can’t wait to go again💕

Absolutely amazing service by a young gentleman with amazing food, accommodated my graduation perfectly. Deffo recommend 🤝🏼

Best place for food sensitivities in Leicester. I had my birthday meal here and felt very taken care of. I submitted a laundry list of food sensitivities when reserving thinking perhaps it would be too much, but they rang me the on the day of the meal to check the items they wanted to prepare would be suitable. I had my own plate made up from items on the menu but they adjusted them and cooked it in a way I could have it. I honestly cannot fault it. My friends ordered things from the regular menu and also loved the food and we had a great time overall. Will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks to the kitchen and all the staff for making my birthday meal so special!

Some of the dishes ordered was good, chicken Shish was cold and under cooked. Service wasn’t the best. Sat there 20 minutes without someone coming to take my drink order. No one came to check how the food was or if we wanted any more drinks. We wanted to order dessert but was told kitchen closed at 10. It wasn’t even 10 when we did want to order. Could have been nice to just come around as there was only 3 tables. Gave the feedback to Paul the manager, who just kept apologising. Could have been good for him to just check with the kitchen if it was possible rather than sorry, sorry, I apologise.

Had brunch here today with my family for a special occasion. The food was absolutely delicious. We are all vegetarian and there were more than enough options for us and every dish was unique and very tasty. We were presented with the most delectable cheesecake for the birthday girl and the service was fantastic. We felt that the price was reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. We will certainly be back! Thanks so much!

Visited for a weekday dinner and was not disappointed - we were blown away by how amazing the food was. All the dishes tasted distinctly different and unique and were plated beautifully. The service was great. I would highly recommend this place for a lovely evening or a special occasion.

Just perfect! Been wanting to visit here for so long now after following on Instagram.. finally got to go this weekend and was great! Going again asap!

Food was amazing, quick service too.

10/10 restaurant, I can't fault it. One of the best places in Leicester. Tasty food that is fresh and light. Friendly staff and stunning decor.

Not much of a selection on the menu but nice taste to some of the foods. Lamb was a little tough and dry. Felt overpriced for what it is. Good atmosphere. Friendly service.

We enjoyed our first visit here to the Frame situated here in St martins square. The Mediterranean selection of small side plates was absolutely exquisite. We thoroughly enjoyed each item ordered, great combination of flavours! Perfect for brunch/lunch with family or friends when sharing side plates. Will be visiting again!

Great food, well priced. Will return.

We had a company night out at The Frame. The place was very nice, spotless, the food served was really good and the cocktails were worth a try. We had a good time and enjoyed the music and the atmosphere.
