The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in East Midlands

We went last night before the fireworks as a group of 15 , the service was great!! And everyone enjoyed their meals the food was lovely!! Will definitely be back

what can l say dont think the Staff understood why we walked out when tables that came in after us got there breakfasts way before us long wait watching them too much talking going on in the kitchen not enough work will not be back

We had a takeaway for the first time living locally in a close village. We ordered: 1 x 1/2lb Beef Burger £7.50 - This was two processed 1/4 burgers together, really bad quality. 1 x Small Spicy Chicken Shish £7.50 - 4 pieces of rock hard chicken pieces with a 4 inch shop bought naan bread, solid as a rock. No way you can make a kebab with it, well mind you if you could manage to cut it open you could put four pieces of meat in it. Salad old and tired tasted awful. No freshness to it. 1 x Calamari£6.00 - undercooked. Not edible. Surcharge £0.50 Delivery Charge £1.00 Total £22.50 We was very disappointed, and when we called the establishment, the two young girls, not their fault were very undertrained to deal with our complaint. They were speaking to a male in the background and said the Manager will call us. The Manager did call us immediately and blamed her staff. She offered us a full refund which we have received. One thing she said she has never had a complaint about the bread, however looking at previous reviews there has been negative reviews. The only positive outcome of this is that the Manager gave us a quick prompted refund.

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

Lovely cosy small restaurant. Everyone smiling and polite. Food fresh and well presented, very tasty. Would recommend for a relaxed evening.

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 live in Uppingham and regularly visit no23 as everything is consistently good. It has the feel of a place more like you would visit in a city . Menu regularly changes and the food is delicious. All the staff are friendly, attentive and very kind to our two year old. Would recommend.

First time here and will certainly return. Food, service and atmosphere lovely. Value for money and large portions. Will definitely return.

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.

I absolutely love this place, great food, always fresh & so tasty.

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

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

The food was amazing and the staff where so polite in taking my order. Great experience overall
