The best restaurants in East Midlands

Took my money on Uber . Then waited for ages to find out they aren't even open on a Sunday . Couldn't cancel order or request refund as it showed the food was awaiting a delivery driver . Food is excellent but this has really annoyed me and left me waiting about for food and for my money back

Excellent pub, food was perfect Sunday dinner, the room let it down a bit but that's just nit picking, definitely go again

I had been looking forward to try this place for a while, and today finally made it. I thought of the place being really cute and everything super well presented. Food was wonderful. Our waiter was not the best mannered, but I understand is young people who are learning. Our bill (2 people) came to £40 and I left 2 x £20 notes, plus some change and mentioned how great the price was. As nobody was coming to the table to take the money, we left (this was our mistake) it on the table and went on our way. Only to receive a call this evening saying there was only 1 £20 note and I had to make the payment for the other £20 on the phone. I am 100% certain of leaving 2 notes so my guess is someone took it. This phone call just received, the embarrasment and having to pay £60 for my meal instead of £40, has really ruined for me what previously had been a lovely experience, so , sadly, won't be coming back. To whoever took the £20 note, bravo, I hope you enjoy it.

We ordered the sharing platter for 4 and it did not disappoint as value for money. There were a few chicken wings that looked a bit pink in the middle so we left those. The desert in this place ain't it unless you are going for a traditional dish. We ordered 4 desserts including a banoffe pie that much to our surprise it arrived frozen we spoke to the waiter about and they took it off the bill at the end. I'm only scoring 3 out of 5 because when we asked for assistance with the banofee pie they took our dish away only to bring it back in a mess that my dog would have made and somehow would have put it back together, so we didn't eat it. I was expecting for them to take it away and bring another one that sort of resemblance the picture of the menu not a mess on the plate.

So other than one dish the food was nice, really no issues there. What really let the evening down was the service. The waiting staff looked hassled. We had to leave our table during the meal to chase up drinks at the busy main bar, which we had to cue at and not once during the meal were we asked if everything was ok. It felt hectic rather than atmospheric. A real shame.

This is my favourite coffee shop in the yard, great value range of quality products and a knowledgeable owner who loves feedback

Very good cafe, excellent service.

I went pre covid and the food was wonderful but wasn't impressed this time. I must say that the staff were good but the food wasn't. It was only luke warm when it was served and stone cold when we ate it, they brought all the dishes out at once. What they could do with is food warmers on the table to put the plates of food on. The bread was like eating dumplings - doughy.

forgot the drink but the food was delicious! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tripe soup was fresh and very good! And the Papanași, just delicious!! Very nice atmosphere and smiling and friendly staff!!

One of the best spot for trying the desserts in Nottingham. Cookie dough is may favourite. Worth to try it.

Really enjoyed the food at Smoke shack. Definitely the best burger I’ve had for a long time, it was deece! Very happy customer!

Nice place to enjoy pure desi food

Coffee is lovely,staffs are friendly, nice place

Don’t bother. From my experience if you can’t get a pancake roll right you have little chance of decent rest of meal - larger poor tasting spring roll def not a pancake roll I’d like a refund cause the rest went in the bin
