The best restaurants in East Midlands

Ordered the mixed grill to share, what a joke! The portion was barely enough for one person, let alone two. The kebab was dry and flavorless. Honestly, the food overall was just yikes. Definitely not ordering again

Superb venue, superb staff, superb prices!! Would highly recommend

Great looking restaurant and great food and service. Sadly let down by a lack of light and heat! The mood lighting was set far too low, it was so dark that we struggled to read the menu and felt like wearing our coats due to the cold draft. The people sat next to us also commented on the lighting and cold temperatures. For a Thursday evening we were surprised how empty the place was. The low level of customers should be a sign that you are doing something wrong guys. It’s not the food service, people want to go to a warm and inviting place to dine, not a dark wind tunnel.

Each meal was £15 and wow the taste was amazing, great customer service. A lovey warm welcoming pub and a very friendly landlord.

They have an amazing breakfast! Always a good time

I spotted the vegan buffet on instagram and by luck landed on the week we were staying near by I’ve never tried Sri lanken so looked forward to giving a go with my Parents who are not vegan but they even loved it It had a Great variety and set up at the back of the restaurant on this occasion It was quite quiet so we had a chilled time and helped ourselves to different dishes as the only one for this specific event opposed to other diners eating off the main menu The Quality was great and refreshed Plus An added bonus was the dessert stations which was A fab way to end the meal And bargain price So much so we went back mid week as I noticed during April they also had 50% off the food bill however when we went on the Wednesday a different deal was on which wasn’t advertised so that was abit frustrating as well as it being busy so had a long wait as it was short staffed in comparison to diners When the food came the presentation was great however due to the time had gone slightly passed it after a long day out so got to take away Overall a mixed experience but glad I tried and authentic cuisine

This is a gem of a find, never knew it existed. Food was delicious, beautiful place in the middle of a park in Leicester.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 25 Years of Pizza Perfection, Delicious Extras & Unmatched Consistency! I’ve been ordering from Babylon Pizza in Nottingham for close to 25 years, and I can honestly say they are one of the most consistently excellent, reliable, and downright amazing takeaways I’ve ever had — and I’ve not had pizza this good since Leicester, nor anywhere else in the world. The pizzas are consistently hot, fresh, and full of flavour. Whether it’s their classic margherita or one of their more adventurous options, the toppings are generous, the crusts are perfectly cooked, and it’s always delivered piping hot. The quality has been unwavering for as long as I can remember — and that’s saying something. They’re THAT good. But if I had to pick a standout, it would have to be the Chicken Tandoori Hot Pizza — it’s to die for. The spicy tandoori chicken, combined with the right blend of seasoning and heat, makes it one of the most incredible pizzas I’ve ever had. If you like your pizza with a kick, this one is an absolute must-try. It’s become my go-to, and I look forward to it every single time. The service is always friendly, fast, and professional. I’ve never once had an issue with a delivery, and if something minor happens, they are quick to fix it with no fuss. This kind of reliability and care in their service is something you don’t find every day. My family has loved Babylon for years, and whenever we’ve had friends over, they’ve always been impressed. I’ve introduced several people to Babylon, and they’ve become regulars themselves. It’s the kind of place that earns your loyalty — one taste and you’ll understand why. And it’s not just about pizza. Babylon also offers a vast range of incredible desserts — often from The Cake Solution or similar top-tier suppliers. Their dessert menu is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth, and everything I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. Right next door is Poppdom, their incredible Indian takeaway, which I also have ordered frombefore. Whether it’s their flavour-packed curries or their perfectly crispy poppadoms, everything is made with care and quality. The combination of both Babylon’s pizza and Poppdom’s Indian food is unbeatable. The pricing is always fair and reasonable for the quality you get, and you can always count on Babylon to deliver on value, portion size, and taste. After 25 years, I can still say with total confidence that Babylon Pizza is hands down the best takeaway in Nottingham, and I’ve yet to find anywhere that beats them — not in Leicester, not anywhere else in the world. If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re missing out on one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Here’s to another 25 years of mouth-watering pizzas!

Food was superb - we had drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’ll go back regularly!

My husband and I decided to stop by Amaravathi Leicester for a quick dinner on a weeknight around 7pm. We were warmly welcomed by the waiter and promptly shown to a table. The restaurant is small but cozy, ideal for small groups, and since it was quiet, we were seated right away without a booking. We were served water and our drink orders were taken immediately. The menu had a good variety of options, and the décor added to the warm and inviting atmosphere. We ordered the poppadom tray, vada (which came with some really tasty chutneys), and a plain dosa. Everything arrived hot and fresh - the dosa in particular was absolutely delicious. You could really tell it was made fresh to order. The service throughout was excellent. The waiter was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. It was also nice to see other customers clearly enjoying their meals, which made the overall atmosphere even more pleasant. One thing to note: there's a minimum spend of £20 if you're paying by card, so it's worth keeping that in mind. Great food, good service, and a comfortable setting. I’d definitely visit again!

Always a queue as nothing is ever ready, missing items from the order or wrong items sent. Chips are limp and not worth the wait. Sick of going back so won't be going again.

Food was good, the appetizers were excellent. The mushroom pasta has sort of a tangy flavor which wasn’t really my preference but well prepared. The bread and butter appetizer was so good but really bread and butter should be free at a restaurant. It is also extremely loud in here

I have been several times to the fox and hounds with my friends and family and we have never had a bad meal or a bad experience. The staff are always friendly and the food is always hot and on time.

I often come here with either my mum or friends and we love it every single time. Great value for money. Considering we order a lite bite, we feel so full afterwards. Definitely recommend it as the food tastes absolutely delicious and the customer service is amazing. The pub itself is also a really good atmosphere

Took my Italian family there. They said it was better than the pizza the had in Italy the week before.
