The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in East Midlands

The staff were amazing and really friendly, the vibe of the restaurant was superb. Must try the baklava, it’s literally to die for… I mean it

Myself, husband and 7 year old went for tea at Istanbul. We have visited on many occasions and tonight’s experience was excellent as always. Superb food, great drinks and great atmosphere but what sets this apart from the competition is the service. Jan was fantastic as always, and it was lovely to talk to and get to know Tamina who knows exactly how to talk to and look after customers. Thank you both for a lovely evening. Also many congratulations and all the very best to our original favourite waitress who we briefly saw outside. For those who haven’t experienced the restaurant I highly recommend the tribute act nights which are so much fun and are great for special occasions, or just because! Thank you all and will see you soon x

Me and my partner had a calamari and lahmacun starter which was lovely then we had a shared platter which was also really tasty, would go back again, nice place to eat out

8 of us came here for birthday and anniversary celebrations on a sunday They had a wealth on till 4pm but also our booking at 5 had a variety of chicken of starter and main 2 courses for 20 quid. It was quiet but maybe down do the weather, the food was tasty and staff friendly and helpful. I had the peri peri skewers and you could have rice or chips , the food was tasty and well presented

We were recommended this restaurant from some friends and what a great recommendation!. The place is spotless and beautifully decorated and the owners were very friendly. There were 10 of us and we all throughly enjoyed our meals, especially the gyros and the chips which were homemade - not something you find much in restaurants these days. I would recommend anyone to try this place out.

The food was fresh and tasty. We both had the gyros which were excellent. Great service and yummy cocktails. It was a lovely evening. We will be returning

I have been here several times and have always had good food and the setting makes for a delightful relaxing evening with friends. Having lived and worked in Morocco (many moons ago) I just love being taken back to what was a wonderful country - don't know what it s like now! As soon as you enter the restaurant the aroma takes me straight back there, and the food is authentic, beautifully cooked and served. I guarantee you will find it difficult to eat everything as there is so much food.

Fantastic venue with some of the best ingredients cooked with a deft touch. Completely recommend.

I got the lunch special today for the first time as it's next door to where I work. Friendly fast service and the Gyro was absolutely delicious! I was so hungry and it hit the spot!!! Worth it!

Closed, cannabis factory run upstairs by the owners. Dodgy since it became cash only.

What a delight - people lovely , atmosphere wonderful and food and wine ( and cocktails 🍸) delicious. We were a late booking so sat at the beautiful marble topped bar. This was perfect and we were so well looked after. It was like finding the best London West End wine bar / restaurant in the middle of Uppingham High Street. We will be back and also must recommend another part of the group The Nevill Arms in Medbourne 🤗🤗🤗🤗

We were a group of 6. Loved the food, staff were great, and really enjoyed our evening. Greta for vegetarians, such a find this place. Thanks guys x

Quick service and the sandwiches here are fantastic. I had one with figs, cheese, red pesto, and I think lemon basil that was probably one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The layers of flavours and the way they complimented each other was fasntastic. I am still thinking about it several days later and I really hope it's there again the next time I come by. My one negative is the Italian Hot Chocolate. I was expecting something like the cioccolata calda I'd find in Italy - thick and rich and made with dark chocolate. My first feeling that something was off was being asked if I wanted milk chocolate or white chocolate. I went with milk. Disappointingly, what I got was watery and lumpy (likely from the cornflour/starch not being whisked properly). I'm hoping that maybe this was a one off or that it'll be improved if I try it again.

Food excellent but to enjoy it the surroundings have to be clean and warm! Service very slow and parking awful

Haven't been for years but went this weekend. And yes again the food was lovely. But The place was soo busy food came little bit late. But understandable because of busy. Highly recommended housespecil and beyti and lamb shank And yes definitely visiting again
