The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East Midlands

My daughter and I visited this week to check out her new University town. We had read the reviews and loved the concept and ethos that makes this place so special so decided to visit. We were not disappointed, what an amazing place. Located within part of the church the atmosphere was airy, calming and relaxing whilst the decor was eclectic, homely and comfortable. We ordered a Pepsi and tea for one which held 2 good cups and was served in the prettiest pot and matching tea cup, the tea was genuinely one of the nicest cups I’ve ever had. We indulged and had a red velvet cake and chocolate brownie ( served warm or cold, with or without ice cream!) and thoroughly enjoyed every delicious mouthful. The service was quick and friendly, the staff were wonderful, so cheerful and welcoming. We spoke at length with one lovely lady who explained more about the charity behind the Rising Cafe and the people they support. She spoke with my daughter who is starting University there next month and made her feel genuinely welcomed to the community. In short The Rising Cafe is an amazing oasis of positivity, good food, joyful atmosphere, genuine, kind staff and a wonderful place to come to whatever your reason for being there, it’s good for the soul. We can’t wait to visit again very soon, this will definitely be our ‘go to place’.

We recently visited Bunty’s for a friend’s Baby Shower. The room upstairs was lovely and the afternoon tea was delicious- there was plenty of food! It was so easy to book and sort it as the staff were so helpful. Would recommend Bunty’s for an event and will definitely visit again.

We celebrated my mum’s 90th birthday at the Tea house with afternoon tea for 13 people.The food was presented nicely and was delicious.Everyone enjoyed the afternoon,we were made very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.Lovely quaint tea room and the park opposite is great for a stroll to walk down your meal!

We ordered a afternoon lunch selection for 25 people at our baby shower in Lincoln. The owner Dez could not do enough to meet our requests. He delivered a fantastic spread. The selection of sandwiches were delicious and he catered for everyone’s dietary needs. His homemade sausages and his scones with cream and strawberries went down a storm. They delivered to our venue, which took away all the added stress. Thanks again for delivering us a lovely spread on our special day. We will definitely use Margaret’s Tea Rooms a again.

Husband and I have been talking about coming here for a while, and today we tried it for the first time. It IS very popular (no surprise there) so we had to wait a while in the sunshine to be given a table. We checked out the menu and topped up our tan, and once we had a table we were able to order almost straight away, drinks came quickly, food took a little longer - because it is freshly cooked and pretty much everything is made on the premises. I had the tuna cheese melt, husband opted for the chicken & mushroom pie from the 'specials' board, and it WAS special. It also defeated him, so I had to help with some chips which were exactly like my grandma used to make. It didn't stop him buying a huge slice of coconut cake to bring home for tea. Great service, good food, and really good prices. We'll be back soon. Make sure you are hungry before you visit!

Just had tea and a cake with my lovely work colleague friends. What a gorgeous little tea shop this is. We were greeted by a lovely member of staff armed with a hot sample of winter tea. They also had delicious vegan cupcakes and all of the treats were beautifully presented. To add to the experience, all of the teas, coffees, infusers etc. are available to buy. The shop itself smells of delicious things and the ambience is mellow and inviting. I was so impressed and will definitely be visiting again. All of the staff are super friendly - thank you ladies for a lovely afternoon in a perfect tea-lovers heaven!

I had the avocado bagel this morning and it was delicious. Thank you. Filling up the 100 characters here, 14 to go, 7 to go.

What a surprise to find Magee Street Bakery. Recommended by the folk at Crockett & Jones shoes (just down the street) I have returned each time I go to Northampton. Good coffee and a great sandwich. I wish we had a place like this near us (in South East London). Really, really, good and a total surprise to find tucked away in a back street of Northampton.

Passing through Buxton and its such a shame it's too early for lunch. Lovely place. Beetroot and Rose latte is gorgeous! They sell frozen home cooked pies with a huge range of choice. Brilliant alternative to a supermarket ready meal. Sadly I won't be near my fridge for 8 hours...

There is no other place that does such an excellent meal. Chel and Emma are superb staff xx Nothing is too much trouble. Superb

Highly reccomend , we had the sharing platters and they were delicious , nice ambience and great service , looking forward to a return visit

We have visited this little coffee shop multiple times now, more recently over the last couple of months. We did visit when it first opened on maybe two occasions, but have just started calling in again. Firstly if there was a GOOD on TA, I would have chosen this above average, however there isn't and I don't quite think this coffee shop is quite at very good level yet, although it could be. Positives first, it is a quaint little coffee shop, opposite the cinema which has parking. They offer a small but nice selection of breads and cakes. They also do very nice lattes. It is a quiet unassuming little spot, somewhat too quiet, which doesn't always shout out welcome. We have only come across a gentleman (possibly the owner) and a lady when visiting, both very cordial when we approached and ordered. Although I do have to say, they don't really engage in much conversation, and I have to agree with some points from a previous review. You don't necessarily expect any in depth or full blown conversations, but the atmosphere they create is very much akin to library staff environment. They aren't rude, yet aren't/don't come across as very friendly or welcoming. It's very robotic. I think more interaction and engagement with customers would be so much more welcoming and appealing to encourage customers to revisit or recommend their business. I would also have the music a 'little' louder when it is on. It hasn't always been on, or it's been so low you cannot hear it and the atmosphere is again, like a library, you can hear a pin drop. The above is not to criticise, just to give honest feedback on recent visits. Try it yourself and form your own opinions.

Amazing food served in a lovely village pub. Service is quick and staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere.

Sunday roast is fabulous. Last time i ate all the food before i took a photo. The food is freshly cooked and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and everything is clean. A happy sunday roast.

A very welcoming small cafe with a big range of excellent appetising options. We separately sampled very tasty bacon and sausage cobs with equally good coffees. We saw the range of sandwiches and paninis, soups, and cakes available too. All these are home made in house. The locals clearly know it is the best around as it was busy with take aways too. We are tourists and will certainly come again when we are next in the area
