The best restaurants in East Midlands

Sadly The George doesn't live up to it's reputation these days. We recently ate in the Oak Pannelled Dining room, we had to pour our own wine as the waiting staff seemed oblivious to empty glasses. The roast beef was delicious and the accompanying vegetables tasty. Sadly the cherry chocolate roulade tasted as if it had been bought in (mass produced) & lacked the sour cherry tang and the chocolate was disappointingly insipid. The cheese souffle we had to start was ok, rather overpowered by the mustard sauce. We had to request the biscuits to accompany our coffee. The Christmas decorations were not as opulent as previous years. The waiting team were all pleasant but seemed inexperienced and unable to deliver a high quality service. The bill was not insignificant and did not match the experience. Shame really, because the building is impressive and there is a huge opportunity to enhance the ambience and without doubt the service needs to be elevated. This being said we will most probably revisit in the summer as the outside courtyard is lovely.

Great food, and variety of menu tapas selection and great service all round 10/10

Brilliant place to stay, fabulous food, people, location and rooms

We have had another great experience at The Kayal. The service is so friendly and you are always made to feel that your custom is inportant. Mahe, our waitress, is wonderful and we will return. Till the next time. Thank you.

Proper fresh and tasty food! Very clean kitchen! Been coming here regularly for almost 3 decades now! All of their food is highly recommended.

Halfway through the meal, I ate a strand of hair that made me feel nauseous and uncomfortable. I have questions about hygiene issues

We had the best service and the food was delicious. We had a bit of a wait for our main course but this was spotted before we pointed it out and it was rectified immediately. We would definitely visit again.

Been here a few times with the missus, always excellent service and food and recommendations from the Manager on duty ,we will be back again,,the best fish and chips Nottingham has to offer without a doubt,

Good food and pleasant attentive staff.

Foods decent but I feel they try to cram too many people in for food when the kitchen can't cope. They said there's gonna be a slight delay but we were waiting for the mains for nearly 2 hours.

Nice friendly service. Bland, flat, lifeless, tasteless food. We had a chicken saag and chicken Karai. From the first bite to the last it was tasteless. Everything looked the part, except for the flat naan breads, no fluffiness in sight. Really dissapointed, £60 not well spent.

Never open at the correct times. Visited three times over the same week and waited 30-60 minutes before giving up and climbing nearby Mam Tor as they were not open even though they said they were.

A fantastic night with friends enjoying the cocktail masterclass with Jerome a great bartender and entertainer. Jerome knows his stuff, easily explaining what to mix and how, with a little bit of science too. We gratefully accepted the cocktails he made so effortlessly and then had a go at making our own, Jerome’s teaching style made this fun and easy and overcame any of our nerves with encouragement and humour. Thanks for helping us have a great night out 5⭐️
