The best restaurants in East Midlands

Very, very rude and unhelpful staff when we came in on Sat 21st September at 1pm. I was shocked and appalled. If I hadn't had a group of new friends, I would have suggested we all walked out and went somewhere else! All 5 of us noticed the miserable treatment of customers and general rudeness. It was expensive to play for the day and an unfriendly atmosphere. Woman serving got my drink order wrong and didn't apologise. Instead, was rude for no reason. Despite paying for drinks and playing the games, the staff there seem to think it's a school where they can talk to you like you are children and not paying customers. We got told off for moving a table! The 35p electricity charge is farcical. Will never return!! All in all, over the course of the time we were there, this place got probably around £80-100 out of the 5 of us. We will be sure to give that to a nice friendly pub next time. Shame on you, could have been a nice memorable experience where we would have returned but never again!

Interesting and affordable experience. So you'll get a starter and main for 22£, which I consider is more than reasonable for a Michelin guide restaurant. The cuisine is close to Italian (plenty of vegetables, prosciutto, pizza, pasta, tiramisu). The pizza was one of the best that I ever tried. The service was prompt and helpful. Will go back for sure in the future.

Cool little place. Table service and a free foozeball table.

Excellent dining experience.. The food was so delicious with the Excellent table side service.. Kuttanadan Duck, and Nadan Erachi Curry, Neeyu Choru, Thengha Choru..

Really excellent food at Koinonia with excellent value to boot. Great range of dishes both classic and which I hadn't tried before, including curried Keralan mussels to start, which were a massive stand out for me personally. My fillet beef main was also excellent and paired really well with freshly made parathas. My fiancé is vegetarian and she had lots of great options for mains and starters, including an excellent range of curries and more unknown dishes such as the Sambar Wada, silky dumplings coated in a delicious and rich tomatoes curry sauce, to start. One of the best Indian restaurants I've ever eaten at tucked away in Newark - I'll definitely be back.

Very good food on a Tuesday lunchtime.

Great Hotel. Highly recommend 👌

Friendly clientele, great beer. Always a reliable selection of Lincoln Green brewery ales alongside many guest ales.

Always a wonderful experience whenever I visit this store, dine in or drive thru the staff, service and coffee are always a delight. The coffee is great and no matter how busy the staff are you always get a welcome smile and a big hello.

We have experienced breakfast, evening meal and today Sunday Lunch... all exceptional. The staff are amazing and really make the experience all the better too, the food is on point also. Thank you Abi in particular for your patience and fun, especially when it came to our coffee's (you had to be there!). We will return!!

We had a work evening out there. Food Is good - we had pizza ( don't think there was enough ordered but that's not the playhouse fault) Many drinks weren't available as apparently they are closing down in few days which is sad news - it was a good fun.

Great atmosphere, great pub food and great service.

Firstly not regarding the food we went last night for a family meal for my sons 21st birthday and we took 8 people. i have to say the staff where absolutely amazing , so helpful , very attentive and went above and beyond to make us all feel special and the whole service was top quality. Now to the food. i have written reviews on Katmandu's food before and this will be no different. Every course including the poppadoms etc were cooked perfectly. This is one of the few curry restaurants were you can see that the meat in the curries is actually fresh and not hard lumps. All 8 people loved the food with everyone having different apart from my son and myself who had duck madras so im sure we cant all be wrong. We will without fail be back soon.

Very good food delicious really welcoming and friendly reasonable good portions

Lovely family restaurant. Staff are really helpful the food is fabulous
