The best restaurants in East Midlands

I went here yesterday for some shisha and food and it’s safe to say that my experience was a 10/10, greeted by a lovely member of staff named Abdul, he made sure to cater to all of our enquires and needs as well as the manager of the restaurant/shisha bar, the food and drink was also a 10/10 as well as the shisha not too strong, will definitely be coming here again for the breakfast!

Lovely people, fabulous menu, super delicious Indian fusion food and drinks, good spot, nice relaxing vibe and grebackground music. Great vegan options. Would definitely recommend and we'll be back!

This new restaurant/take away is brilliant. All home made from sandwiches and cakes to full English breakfasts. I had the Sausage and Bacon roll, which comes with proper Lincolnshire Sausages. The roll was stuffed and extreemly tasty. The staff were bubbly and friendly. I will be returning at least once a week for my breakfast and hopefully more meals inthe future. Highly recommend. When I popped in around 10:30am the restaurant was packed, not a single seat available. I only wanted takeaway anyway and the service was fast. This new place will be one I frequently visit and so should you.....

Just a bus ride from Leicester, small and cosy place to eat for a breakfast, which we did, and had their pancakes and chocolate and hazlenuts. Enjoyed it so much we went back (we had time to kill in Barwell!) for lunch and had a lovely rustic lunch. Tasted excellent, portion sizes just right. Nice and fresh food, great service. Enjoyed our two visits in the one day very much. Would definitely return.

Never go anywhere else to eat when visiting town, in fact we make a special trip just for our lunch. All the food is homemade and the specials are top notch. If the Corned beef pie is on the specials then that is a must!! The atmosphere is welcoming, friendly and that goes for the customers and the staff and the owner/chef is a great guy!

Wow, the food is amazing, the service outstanding and we felt like we were the only customers in a full restaurant. I would travel an hour from my home to eat here again!

Our first time at Radcliffe Golf Club - and hopefully it won’t be our last. We attended this evening (as non-members) and had a really great evening. Delicious food, fantastic cabaret and a friendly atmosphere. The staff were attentive and very helpful. All in all, a great way to spend a Saturday evening. Thank you … and more please!

This pizza spot nails it every time, 10/10! Service is fast and straightforward, and the menu's packed with great choices. They use fresh ingredients, so every pizza comes out tasting fantastic. The base is spot-on—crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. What stands out is how fresh everything tastes, and it's always delivered hot. For the price, you're getting a real deal. Hands down, it's the place to hit up when you fancy a top-notch pizza at home.

Myself and Daughter having been coming here for years now and never leave disappointed. Even if your not familiar with Greek/Cypriot cuisine, there is something for everyone and the extremely friendly staff will always help you decide. Outside of the fantastic food and coffee, we like the ambiance and that whenever we walk in, we are welcomed like family.

Pleasant staff and great food. What else do you need ?

best jacket potato I've ever had. fresh and lovely prawn filling. went down a treat quick friendly service

Been here twice recently and the food and service is fab. Working our way through the galette menu - just like being in France.

Had brilliant birthday meal at Smoke & Ice Retford. Delicious food great atmosphere staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly if they tried. All the staff were great at helping my mum who is a wheelchair user and took time explain menu and sauces ect. Thanks again for the happy birthday song all 10 of us really enjoyed it and would definitely be back. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Super cosy jewel in the centre of Higham Ferrers. Very busy and great staff made me welcome. Ordered an omelette and was I impressed. Best I've eaten in many years. Taste buds were going crazy
