The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in East Midlands

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. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

What a wonderful experience. A truly unique visit with friends. The food was delicious and the best ribs and brisket we have ever tasted, just divine. A fabulous chilled out atmosphere with great music and all the staff were very friendly and we had great service. Also must mention gorgeous Abbie the dog! Loved it here and would definitely visit again.

Came here and enjoyed a drink and bar food. Very good price and made to feel so welcome. Will be back and hopefully come to one of the events they have on

Truly delicious takeaway, cannot recommend the chicken tikka masala enough! The mushroom rice was astonishing! And the chicken tikka rice was also amazing. The title says healthy and delicious, we can promise you it most definitely was! We will be using them lots and lots in the future.

Absolutely amazing food great service friendly staff 5***** look forward to our next visit .can highly recommend

Been here numerous times as it is an old favourite fpr me and the kids. This time around, we had the Hoofs Hoard Board and it was amazing!!!

The cold meze starter with Turkish bread was full of flavour plus a side salad. The cheese in filo- excellent. The mixed grill we couldn't finish so a takeaway for my good friend. Enjoyable. Very popular suggest you book at a weekend. A little pricey.

The food was delicious - loved it, we will definitely order again.

Very nice food, both in quality and quantity. The £28 family deal is a bargain considering how much you get in it.

Met my parents in town for a few drinks and food. The lady remembered my dad by name. We were seated quickly. Food arrive hot and fresh, would definitely return again

Where do I start. Uncle Ben’s rice. Chicken shish and Lamb Kofte, terrible. Chewy, bad pieces of meat and to make it worse, overcooked. Trust me, I’ve been to many of the Turkish restaurants in Leicester and this isnt the one. Told the manager, he didn’t want to know.

Booked for a Friday night, did not disappoint, my starter, fennel sausage was to die for, could have eaten that all day long…………. Food was tasty, service was attentive, value was good; compared to places in local area was much better value; good food, good drink, good service, will go back

This is one of the best Turkish restaurants in Leicester. The food is very tasty and cooked to perfection. Great customer service. I highly recommend it.

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.

Incredible food time and time again. Takeaway is so good too! Would highly recommend the chicken kebab but every dish on the menu is 10/10. The deal in the week is such a fab idea and the place has so much atmosphere. Love love love the Istanbul!!
