The best restaurants in East Midlands

So I finally decided to leave a review and I have to say Food was amazing like always, just wish there was more chicken in the curries and things wasn’t being forgotten sometimes but every time there was a problem they sorted it out no problems so I will be ordering from here more often =D

Food was amazing, you can clearly tell they fresh produce. Flavours were outstanding and will defo go again, thankyou Ramadan, great service!

Great food, excellent service, staff very attentive and a very enjoyable evening.

Absolutely delicious sandwiches. Lovely fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Great value. And the best hot chocolate ever!

This chippie used to be a favourite when we lived in the High Peaks 25-years ago so we were delighted to find out it is still excellent. My wife was over the moon to get a traditional fish cake which was always her first choice from childhood plus sixty years. There is a small car park opposite to get off the busy main road.

Called here this morning before going for a walk round Matlock bath. Lovely quaint little tea shop with welcoming servers. Just had drinks but the menu stated a variety of food and cakes. Great prices also. Would call again as lots of Covid restrictions in place so felt safe.

I visited Ali’s to get myself a takeaway and as always the food was amazing. I’ve never had a lamb or chicken samosa like what this place serves. I had one of their recommended dishes from the menu and although the dish I had was a spicy one, you forget the spice because of all the incredible flavours going on in the dish. Service was fantastic while I chose and waited and in particular very friendly and welcoming Raj. By far my favourite Indian restaurant

Great pub 👌 good service, very clean and good price 👍

Perfect place for us to spend a few days whilst attending Cadwell Park Bank Holiday weekend races. Clean, compact with all the facilities needed. The room was checked every day of our visit, which was nice + resupplying the teas and coffees etc. Pretty much in the centre of Market Rasen to shop for supplies or eat out and to explore further afield. Not too far away from the racecourse, if that's your passion.

As soon as we walked into the Stone Arms, both my wife and I, was greeted by the waitress/bar maid, who was so polite, charming and very welcoming. She showed us to our table and even though we were early, as our names were reserved the night before, there was no concern so we ordered our drinks. There was no rush to order, and the place was full with customers both in the restaurant and the bar. Our starters arrived and were lovely, fresh and delicious. We ordered the small Sunday dinners (small they were not), they were cooked to perfection with the cauliflower cheese sauce to die for. I was so full that I elected for a coffee. My wife ordered the apple crumble for dessert (I did taste a small bit - very yummy). All in all a wonderful experience. Staff were very lovely and so polite. Smiles all around. In my opinion, and I have been to all the restaurants in Lincoln, it was the best and we both thoroughly recommend you book. My only issue? ? Parking! The car park was full. But plenty of side streets to park in. Highly recommended.

Otters do the best bacon sandwich in Rutland. No - the best bacon sandwich anywhere. This is a very good place with interesting food - efficient staff- and good ambience. It's the sort of place that when you see the next tables food come out you wish you had ordered that too.

Luke warm poor quality coffee Nice staff and unnecessarily large portions however the food was terrible. It looked like it came from the cheapest frozen food section of the supermarket and was heated up by someone who doesn’t know what decent food is.

We went for the Senior Meal special at £16.99 for three courses. Fully intended to have three courses. We both chose Thai fishcakes to start and the serving was large enough to be a Mains. Excellent quality. To follow we chose scampi and chips etc and fish and chips. Again, very large portions and we both left some. We were full! So no dessert this time which was a shame as there was a good selection. Service very friendly and prompt. With drinks our total bill came to £31 for two of us. Service was not included. I managed to find a fiver in real money for the waitress. Recommended.

Great pub, I have been many times when out on a walk and always found it welcoming with nice beer and very good food. Highly recommended.

Service was good and the pickle tray ok. Alas the rogan Josh was very disappointing and bland. I’ve had better Indian meals from my local supermarket. The waiter/chef asked us how our meal was and we was bluntly honest and told him it was very poor for an Indian meal and not at all spicy. I’ve experienced this at another Indian restaurant in Bridlington. It seems they tone it down to appeal to diners who don’t like spicy food. When I say spicy I don’t mean hot I mean you can’t really taste the Indian spices that usually make an Indian meal a special treat. He did knock me the price of two drinks off but our dining experience was spoilt as we had been looking foreward to it. And it still cost me £44. Doubt I’ll be back unless I hear good things about it in the future. I have dined here before with no issues so they must have changed the chef or cut down on the quality of the food.
