The best restaurants in Nottingham East Midlands

We had coffee in a super nice place

I flew all the way from Australia to England just to eat at this restaurant — and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I walked in, the aroma alone told me I was in for something special. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cosy and refined, with warm lighting, friendly staff, and the kind of buzz that comes from a kitchen doing everything right. Now the food — incredible. Every dish was a masterclass in flavour and authenticity. The butter chicken was rich and velvety, the lamb rogan josh fell apart with a spoon, and the garlic naan was so perfectly blistered I’d come back just for that. Spices were bold without overpowering, and everything tasted freshly prepared with real care. Special mention to the house-made chutneys and the mango lassi — both unforgettable. You know a meal is extraordinary when you’ve crossed hemispheres for it and are already thinking about your next visit. If you’re in the UK (or even if you’re not) — make this place your next destination.

Owner Rob is friendly and welcoming. Great venue.

Fabulous food and service from Vicky and Katie of the Humble Cat. We ordered the Tribute of Life. Everything was set up beautifully; the food was very fresh with lots to choose from and marvelous cakes; and the best thing was that I knew they had it covered and I didn't need to think of anything. I highly recommend the Humble Cat.

The shop is closed for a specific duration.

Food tasted so so good, abundant portions, staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend

A brilliant atmosphere to relax🔥💯

Proper rip-off. I ordered 4 egg bacon and sausage cobs and they charged £4.70 each. One piece of bacon which looks like left over from many days and taste like wood, one totally burnt sausage and one egg. No butter no sauce. When I asked the girl on the counter she said it's a order from management. I said other places they at least put more quantity and the girl said "this is not other place". Very rude character. Don't just take my word, you can try it. Don't waste money. They should go and see Jo's Cafe on the Conner 339 Hayden rd, NG5 1 DZ. And get some training.

Good Food and great Customer Service Would Recommend

Hemos proporcionado un dibujo detallado del pastel para nuestro cumpleaños y también enviamos un correo electrónico por adelantado con toda la información, por si acaso. Desafortunadamente, el color principal de todo el pastel cambió de azul a verde sin contactarnos y lo descubrimos solo el día en que recogimos el pastel. Nos dijeron que hubiera ido mejor con las decoraciones, pero esto no fue lo que se acordó antes del trabajo. Este es un cambio importante, no solo un cambio menor debido a la libertad artística. Además, a pesar de que las decoraciones eran muy bonitas, la esponja estaba por debajo de la media. Seguramente usaremos otros competidores para futuros eventos.

So sad to see this place go. Just hope whoever takes it on keeps up the standard of amazing food, good cocktails and top bants!

The little ones rated 10, the belly soup is not very good, no garlic, no salt, no taste! Old and hard bread!

8/10 but definitely the best for the area
